Absolutely blown away by the Kulve fight. I love everything about the whole thing.
It's crazy to think that this was merely a free update.

I'm hoping they've gotten a lot of positive feedback from this event and use that when making new large/siege monsters.
I don't want to see anything like Zorah Magdaros ever again.
More large monster/siege fights like Kulve Taroth please.

It's such an addicting quest. Never thought I'd say this, but it will be weird going back to normal/solo hunting after the event is over.
If you're talking Kulve Taroth, pretty dense. Some monsters don't have the most obvious sleep animations, but Taroth takes like a full minute to fall asleep. (But that time seems to get deducted from how long it stays asleep...)
The Taroth armor awakens them, and a lot of them have really crazy elemental stats. So far I've gotten a bow with 390 water, a lance with 450 sleep, and an axe with 420 blast.
There definitely needs to be more quests like this. I could do without the convoluted group dynamics though.

Yeah but then I have to ditch my current armour which has the skills I want just to be able to use the weapon effectively. Not really keen on that. If I could get a gem that did it then maybe.
If it's like most gems, there's probably a chance (aka a completely terrible chance) to get them a lot of different ways, but I've gotten all six of mine exclusively from carving Taroth's Gold.
I got one from a shiny drop. It's an incredibly low chance, but this is somewhat counteracted by Kulve dropping a huge amount of shinies.
I have even seen people claim they got a gem from gathering tracks (which normally only has a low chance of yielding scales and the like), though I personally find that hard to believe.

Ugh.....why is it hard to find a team that....can just fight Nergigante and get his horn? It's all I want and this is the second team to wipe on me
Alright thanks, gonna keep gathering drops then, I wish there was a better way to check which weapons to keep, had a good bunch and takes quite a while to compare on forge, so far the only good stuff to keep for me have been a R8 Water Lance and a R7 Fire SA.
Man, those R8 relics are pure gold. I just got a Thunder Lance that takes all 5 levels of thunder attack boost and now it has 760 thunder on it (base was 600) with 20% affinity (I aug it for another 10% so now it has 30%), lvl 3 gem slot and a defense bonus, this is insane. I made a build with 100% affinity, crit element, crit boost 3, thunder 5, Guard 3, Max Might 2 and Weakness Exploit 3 and this thing just hits like a truck, I don't have a single attack boost on this build and it wrecks everything with weakness to thunder 2 or higher.
This event is like a heaven for elemental weapons and builds, can't stop farming, won't stop farming :D

I am super jealous right now! I *think* I read that the emental cap is a percentage of the starting element. So I guess because yours is so high you can apply a lot of gems and not hit the cap.
I really want to learn lance properly, for the power run thing, and also sword and shield properly for the helm splitter move.
Plus I want to do a support hbg run with paralysis, sleep, and (also comms shout outs)
Someone on Reddit showed footage that it's possible. I got my 4th gem without noticing it from my gold and horn carves so it might have been picked up.
Quest rewards, yes. Not the Siege rewards you collect in the gathering hall.
I like the fact that more people are in the gathering hub now. I love to just sit down and look at how other people designed their characters. Give me a PSO vibe from back in the day. I wish future special quests were only accessed from the hub.
You said you were able to connect with others online in other games, yes? You're not the only with this issue. I have friends with the same problem. The problem is not on your end. But, for some reason only a few are experiencing this.
Random comments really but:-
1. I'm impressed how closely balanced the weapons must be. Every session I've joined nearly everyone has different weapons and armour. There's nowhere close to one "perfect" set. (unlike destiny where you'd run fatebringer, sniper, Ghorn for everything)
2. I'm impressed how much "new" features of the game this quest has brought out. Its getting people to use the session search, it's getting people to use the gathering hall. Off the back of those it's tempting people to use support builds. The weapons are also tempting people into elemental builds.

Lol they are not, the R8 and even some R7 are awesome. What is with people saying R8 weapons are crap? Pretty much best elemental weapons in the game.
Yep. I wish Capcom made more siege quests like that. It would be awesome to have at least three monsters just for siege to rotate them. One monster for two weeks, two weeks break and another monster for two weeks and so on. I don't want to see empty gathering hall ever again :)
Direct session ID doesn't always work. One if these will happen:
- General error
- Failed to join other member's sessions (or something like it)
- Session ID doesn't exist (even after triple checking that it's up and correct)
I have the most success with 1/16 sessions, but those don't often get enough players, and sometimes no one else joins. I got lucky tonight and managed to join a 1/16 room that eventually became full, so I played as much as I could.
Which kinda blows since this makes it feel more like isolated cases that Capcom won't prioritize. It's definitely not as widespread as the issues XBL users had a few months ago.
Are all the good ones you have seen 'hidden element'? Would be good to know if that is set so I can temper my expectations.
I can echo the thoughts that it's great to see folks in the gathering hall. No idea why the whole HQ couldn't be the social hub but I guess forcing people to go there is the next best thing.
The quest itself is really fun and epic. It clicked for me much better when I realised the canons were optional. What is with Japanese devs and cannons? FF XIV was the same: always with the canons.
New player here, at the point where I've just gotten the hunt for Anjanath.
Had been using a switch-axe up to now but got destroyed by the electric enemy right before Anjanath (I can never remember the monster names mostly). Switched to a bow and killed it quite easily so think I'll go with the bow for the time being. I might actually try out all the weapons on the first two monsters you hunt just to see what I enjoy the most. Everything is viable right?
Also how do you get skills? I've seen them in some YouTube videos but I can't see any option to add them to my gear.

Tobi-Kadachi can cause issues with his movement, but you'll get used to it.
As you progress you'll start to craft gear with skills, and you can slot them in through decorations as you get into high rank.
Got so much materials, just need a Hazak gem to complete the boots and my beta set is done. Might get the alpa chest before the event ends.
I'm only really playing Kulve now in hopes of the getting the T8 Switch Axe, I've got almost one for every type now.

People really need to learn to get out of the way of Kulve's lava breath. Failed the quest three times in a row because people just can't deal with it.
Being a lance user, I can of course simply block the lava that this giant dragon spews all over the floor, because that makes perfect sense.

Sometimes she just doesn't give you a choice and spams that shit. You definitely need to keep you health maxed out or have people with wide range.
And she has 4 types of lava AoE. A short fan-shaped from her legs forward, a wide fan-shaped, a long - almost rectangular - one that spills a bit under her legs, and the one that seems to cart the most, the dread backward spill that goes til her tail.
Weakness Exploit. You should always be hitting the head with hammer and it's generally the best zone for impact damage on nearly every monster. I personally don't run KO or ear plugs on hammer and just use rocksteady and impact mantles and stack up damage skills on my armor. But they are decent skills especially if you are just picking up the weapon.
*get a decent R8 Lance from Kulve*
"Hmm, guess I'll try out Lance. Never clicked with me in the past but World showed me the beauty of Gunlance, so who knows."
-24 hours later-
"WHERE HAS LANCE BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!"
Holy shit this is amazing. Guard Up and Guard +5 and I'm a goddamn impenetrable brick wall. Guard Up in particular is insane (don't have it on my Gunlance set since I don't have the decoration and can't run 3-piece Uragaan due to how my build's set up for shelling). And then it's just poke poke poke all day long. Love it.

I have finished the siege a dozen times.
Still no gem
Still no good SwitchAxe.
I love fighting this thing, but the desire sensor hates me :(

KULVE WHY WONT YOU DROP A FUCKING GEM?!
I am fed up. RNG hates me, my game just trolls me. I've had 7x R8 bowguns. 5x R8 hammers. I've never used a Bowgun or a hammer and never would. It never, not once, gives me any weapons I actually want, and after killing her easily 25+ times (with multiple carve chances on the gold chunk and the two horns each time) I have had only one measley gem!! I just really want to complete my armour collection.
Also as a tip on the lava bullshit if you set a farcaster on your radial dial if you're stuck in lava and likely to die just use it to go back to camp and avoid the death.

I finally got my fourth and final gem. Not having much luck in the weapon department; I especially hate it when you get a batch of weapons and all the R7s and R8s turn out to be LBGs/HBGs.
I want a R8 thunder hammer, dammit.
Now to hunt for a Nerg and Vaal gem. I have half a mind to just meld the Vaal one, but I could at least do a few investigations before resorting to that.

Seems kind of unfortunate that it's missing power coating, although supporting literally everything else is nice.
Try comparing that to the Great Hunter's Bow. That's more of a direct comparison. They have all of the same coatings available, but the Taroth one has more raw, way more blast (that needs to be awakened, but still), and a bit more defense.
As a support bow, this looks like the new gold standard.
I guess those are somewhat usable, It was pretty hard for me to make Spring festival decent but I can see someone sacrificing for fashion on those.
Kulve is okay. I'm not having the most fun, especially not being able to make it to the end sometimes, but I'm only in it for the stuff. So hopefully I can get all the dual blades and call it a day. Is anyone getting near flawless runs though?
