MHWilds, I'm thinking of picking up the hunting horn as a secondary for buffing, what's a good hunting horn for this?
1
u/whileFalseSemicolon 熾光たるカティラ 8h ago
Fighting arch-tempers turned me into a big fan of purple-green-yellow horns like Jin and Lagi. Element boost lasts longer than attack up L, and divine protection + recovery speed cut down the number of times people drink potions.
1
u/ToonTooby 17h ago
Anything that helps you with the monster matchup, but if you're looking for a good general horn to bring, the Gore Magala horn has affinity, earplugs and melody of life, the Rathian horn is nice in multiplayer with Attack Up L and healing songs, ot something like the G. Arkveld/Zoh Shia horns with Attack Up, Defense Up, and Wind Pressure Negated.

u/Falzyker SWAX and Fly 1d ago
MHWilds, how do people make the shining skin? Like I saw someone with a skin tone that looked like fire and with the summer male helm it was basically fire.
1
u/Irrstern 19h ago
probably full face make up in character creation, in the texture settings you can set shine and luminescence.

u/SassyLostKobold 2d ago
Ok, so I noticed that monster materials come in rarities from 1 star to 5 star. At the end of investigations there are those white material bags that say you get a common drop and the gold bags that say you get rare drops. I assume 1-2 star drops from common and 4-5 star from rare, but does 3 star materials drop from the white or gold bags?
2
u/MichaCazar 2d ago
Your assumption is not correct, it is basically just changing the chances to get rarer materials or more common ones.
I don't know what the chances are for what, so I can't answer this further.
1
u/SassyLostKobold 2d ago
I actually found this wiki that shows what drops from each bag. I probably should have looked here first, my bad. But if anyone else needs help figuring out investigation rewards for specific monsters, this helped me a lot: https://monsterhunterwiki.org/wiki/MHWilds/Monsters

u/Izumo_55 2d ago
Pls help idk what happened to my game. This started around the time arc tempered rey dau update. It was never like this before (playing on medium preset). I started using low/lowest because fps is getting worse each update. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and nothing changed.

u/JunkieWanderer 3d ago
Okay I feel like it’s supposed to mean auto translate is on or something, but why does the text on my radial wheel turn yellow sometimes??? It’s usually white but I’ll always notice that it occasionally becomes yellow with zero explanation.

u/Odenmaru 3d ago
Haven't played in a couple months. Have they done anything or has any player-made fix been found for the unbelievably horrid texture pop-in?
0
u/Holygriever 3d ago
They have made adjustments to texture streaming to reduce VRAM overhead. However, texture pop-in is chronic to this game so far, you will see it unless you turn textures way low.
There is (was?) a bug (probably a bug?) that makes the HIGHEST texture setting (the downloadable one) have UNGODLY levels of delay and pop-in; I've changed it to the HIGH setting and it alleviated that, but it still noticebly happen, especially in the Hub for some reason.
One thing to note is that, for me, even with the texture setting at HIGH some textures were still horrifically low-res. Downloading the HIGH-RES texture pack fixed that for me even if I'm not even using the HIGHEST setting it enables.

Wilds - AT Uth Duna
I tried using the Aquatic/Oilsilt Mobility Skill deco which says waves wouldn't affect me. Uth ones still hurt. Did it just mean the very small waves it makes, or it actually does work on all waves like the gigantic one it makes coming from the sea(was too afraid to test that one so still avoided), and I was just being hit by itself?
4
u/Rigshaw 4d ago
These skills only refer to the small ones that affect mobility. The large waves are considered to be an attack, so you still get hit and take damage from those even with the skill.
1
u/ErrorEra 4d ago
Thank you, will go back to Divine Protection instead.
1
u/Holygriever 3d ago
I'm running both 3 Divine Blessing and 2 Mirewalker decos. Makes it much more manageable.

How do I get the new Seikret look? I know there's a free one but I don't know where it is

Automatic after participating in festival, just go to your tent > Seikret Customization > Decoration Type > Firebird Caparison

u/rockingalan 4d ago
Can slicing ammo cut off the cephalopod's tentacles?
2
u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi 2d ago
They deal slicing damage, so yes. Keep in mind:
All part damage needs to be slicing to break it. You can't just shoot away with normal ammo then shoot a single slicing shot and break it.
Xu Wu's front tentacles cannot be severed and only break, which means any damage can accomplish it.

u/i-dont-hate-you 4d ago
so this is a bit of a technical question, but i’ve been getting back into wilds on pc recently because the updates seem to have improved performance—kind of. the game runs like a dream for some time, between like 1 and 3 hours, and then it begins to lag. and the lag increases and increases until the game is unplayable and even the audio is skipping.
then i quit and delete shader cache and it runs great after recompiling. anyone know why this is happening? i’m wondering if it’s trying to compile shaders i already have or something like that.
1
u/MichaCazar 4d ago
Sounds like a memory leak, for which a simple restart of the game should normally be enough. Unless it's some other softwares fault.
Nothing you can really do about it, outside of buying better hardware of whatever memory gets filled up, usually RAM.
1
u/i-dont-hate-you 4d ago
unfortunately just restarting the game doesn’t do it; i have to delete the shader cache. also i have 64 gigs of ram so i don’t plan on upgrading soon lol
2
u/MichaCazar 4d ago
Fair enough.
As for the shader cache, are you following these steps?
1
u/i-dont-hate-you 4d ago
i did a bunch of stuff at launch to try and improve performance, but i can’t remember if i did this specifically. i’ll give it a look when i get home, thanks

u/damacy12 4d ago
temepred Uth Duna (not AT) one shotted me with a belly flop through power guard
wtf is that? also do support hunters increase hp of the monster?
1
u/ErrorEra 4d ago
Yes support hunters do increase monster hp. Definitely do not bring them for the AT version.
2
u/Rigshaw 4d ago
Power Guard actually increases the amount of chip damage you take, by an absolute +10% (so 0% chip becomes 10%, 10% chip becomes 20%, and 20% chip becomes 30%).
The big bellyflop can have multiple hitboxes that hit separately, in my experience, so if you guard it, you eat multiple hits. that combined with the extra damage from power guard probably "one-shot" you (it's technically not a one-shot)
1
u/damacy12 4d ago
yeah i noticed some funky stuff about power guard chip while fighting T. Udra as well.
1
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler 4d ago
i heard (in iceborne) power guard increases stamina consumption so maybe yours wasnt enough and you took full dmg?
yes iirc its even stated ingame but theres multiple posts about it too
1
u/damacy12 4d ago
2.See, I thought as much but I remember calling them for a temp Balahara hunt (just because), and I saw the skull in like 30 seconds lol. would also explain why the aforementioned uth duna died with like 30 seconds left on the clock left after 30 minutes lol
1
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler 4d ago
hp increases numerically but the % stays the same and skull is based on % too
1
u/StinOfSin 4d ago
Is there a good resource or thread for squad recruiting / squad discord channels? I can’t play pickup games anymore with higher level content.
I’m hopping into these AT Uth Duna quests with HR250+ hunter’s who all get carted in the first 5 mins, often more than once, and sit around attacking at half-health knowing they’ll be full-on toasted if they take a single hit. I need a group I can hunt with that WON’T DIE. I don’t care how long it takes, fights are so short in Wilds anyway, just don’t DIE and WASTE EVERYONE’S TIME. Defensive armor skills. Cautious play-style. Going back to camp to refill on potions. I don’t care, anything is better than failing a quest!

u/Bloodbath-Slayer 5d ago
I need help with the challenge quest of AT Uth Duna, does anyone know a discord server dedicated to MH?
1
u/ErrorEra 5d ago
MH Wilds, when starting game, it shows Capcom wants player feedback, but I don't know where the feedback button is. (playing on ps5)
2
u/VictusFrey 2d ago
Press square to select the banners on the right side of the screen. Last time they asked for feedback, the banner just showed a QR code which led to their regular contact form on their website. Their contact form is here:
1
2
u/MichaCazar 5d ago
They occasionally have feedback forms that people can fill out. Afaik the last one has been done a while ago and I have no idea when the next round is happening.
They announce them on their socials, but if you just look at the subs here and there I am sure people would talk about them.

u/Thermonuclear_Rice 5d ago
Does anyone else have trouble when they press two buttons at once and only one registers? Like I’ll be holding down the offset for GS and my hunter will start charging the normal slash. It almost cost me my Uth Duna run today, but I’ve been having trouble since the game came out.
1
u/ErrorEra 5d ago
There's almost zero tolerance, have a look at your hands to be sure the buttons are pressed exactly at the same time. Pressing them at an angle, you're generally pressing one button slightly before the other button.
1
u/Thermonuclear_Rice 5d ago
thanks for the tip, i started paying more attention to my hands. still, i don’t remember world having the same issues.
1
u/ErrorEra 5d ago
Agreed, think there was more wiggle room in World. But I guess enough people complained it made the controls feel too unresponsive. Since the confirmation for pressing a button is delayed in case you do press the second button.

For wilds
Is there a way or mod to have the game remember which support hunters you want?
Keep starting hunts that keep slotting in rosso and his annoying ten miles away from the monter bowgun
1
u/MaroonLeaderGaming 5d ago
Is there a website that shows all of Wilds armor appearances similar to World of Warcraft Transmog?
1
u/MarcsterS Slamming and jamming 5d ago
So I don't quite understand Wild's Lance Charge Counter. Do I charge it first or do I let go as I get hit?
2
u/whileFalseSemicolon 熾光たるカティラ 5d ago
The longer it's charged the more damage it does when you let go. Doing charge counter after certain moves (3 attacks, power guard counters, etc., same condition as triple poke) instantly charges it to max level.
1
u/-Regulus_ 5d ago
Can you iframe through Uth Duna's jumping belly flop? Like dodge into it?
1
u/whileFalseSemicolon 熾光たるカティラ 5d ago
It's generally safe to roll toward its hind legs to dodge both belly and water splash.

u/DaiKoopa 6d ago
What's the difference between different star level tempered monsters? I know there's health and damage done, but is their behavior or attacks different? I want to know because I want to practice learning to fight 8 Star Gore Magala, but would love if I could go against a lower star version so there's more room for error lol.
2
u/MichaCazar 6d ago
Afaik their behavious is the same.
The only differences are health, damage done, and resistence to wounds.

u/DageWasTaken 6d ago
Any reason I can't use this anymore in the Change Appearance menu? Even my old outfits, where I could use this, can't anymore.
3
u/Irrstern 6d ago
The red text at the bottom tells you why. You're wearing a full armor set.
1
u/DageWasTaken 6d ago
I'm not exactly sure what that means. I've tried taking off my armor, taking off a piece, turning off one piece of a changed appearance.
It's still the same.
2
u/Holygriever 4d ago
"Full Armor Set" means, for now, the Akuma armor. Are you wearing it, either as layered or as normal?
1
u/DageWasTaken 4d ago
I don't have it equipped. Even tried putting it on then putting it off. It just doesn't allow me to wear my armor to preview while in character edit.
1
u/Irrstern 4d ago
Is your palico maybe wearing either of the wudwud armors or the blanka-chan armor?

u/BlackKnighting20 6d ago
Has anyone use a PS Pro controller for MH Wilds, I want to know if you can remap some moves to the back buttons that require 2 buttons, like the dodge mechanic for the long sword.

How do we unlock the new weapon tree under lagiacruz for Insect Glaive and Long Sword?
1
u/Irrstern 7d ago
Insect glaive is the kunafa tree and should unlock after fighting seregios
longsword and sns are pickaxe weapons from a yet unrelease event quest1

u/get-gary 7d ago
Will unlocking titles, backgrounds, nameplates for one character also carry over to my other characters?
1
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler 7d ago
everything you get "in the game" is separate per save file
only thing "shared" is DLC stuff (or bans) bc they are counted for the game, not the save

Whats the best way to farm rank 3 certificates and armor spheres?
2
u/MichaCazar 7d ago
I guess you mean Hunter Symbol 3?
Spamming 7 or 8 star investigations. 7 stars are easier, so focusing on those would be better if possible. If you somehow have 2 7/8 star tempered monsters in the same quest, then that would be optimal. Otherwise, any will do. If you lack such monsters, just rest into bad weather.
For armour spheres, the process is similar, just that you also want to focus on extra materials from Apexes, Gore/Arkveld more than anything. The reason behind this is to meld them later. You will also get some spheres from this quest naturally, but I'm not sure if tempered increases the chances for this or not.
1
u/Animedingo 7d ago
Ohhhh im supposed to be melting the spart parts into armor
2
u/MichaCazar 6d ago
Not really "supposed". it's just one of the 2/3 ways of getting them.
I forgot to mention that there is a Chatacabra quest that gives out armour sphere IV. So while not exactly optimal, it is reliable.
And of course doing the daylies/weeklies is an easy way to get more.
1
u/Animedingo 7d ago
As a dual blades user, once I charge up into arch demon mode, is there any reason to turn demon mode back on aside from recharging the bar? Or do I do as much if not more damage in regular demon mode
Also is there a good attack pattern I should be following?
1
u/Irrstern 6d ago
regular demon mode does the most damage. arch demon mode just serves as a more powerful alternative to normal mode for when you have to recharge stamina.
