Wow that's OP!!!😮

they're not meant to be stats. that's what augmenting is for. they're meant to be mostly cosmetic. Prolly added +1 attack or +1 affinity for something like sorting purposes or item ID purposes.

[@Limp007]

And you can upgrade it 5 times.. so its free bc it takes no slots

[@ember-evergarden]

One thing to note is that if you increase the slots, you can also stack the same augmentation for less cost. Example, on the Melting Grasp, it has up to a total of 5 slots when slot upgraded. You can then augment Attack Boost (3) + another Attack boost which now costs 2.

[@RON_FBG]

Is the second boost as big as the first, or half the amount?

Augment for rarity 11 health 7-Tempered silver pet- scarred yaun Garuda 3-Tempered poison sac - tempered puke puke 3-Spiritvein solidbone x any level 2 tempered guiding lands monster 3-Slumber greatbone x farm forest section of guiding lands Augment for rarity 10 health 7-Tempered red claws-Tempered odogoran 5-inkstained oilshell+ -regular rodo 3-spiritvein slogbonr x any level 1 Tempered guiding lands monster 5-Effuvial Frenzybone x Farmed rotten section of guiding lands Don’t have all for rarity 12 yet will post later The only way to get the Spiritvein slogbone and solidbone is by killing tempered monsters in the Guiding Lands. This means beating most of the game and unlocking the end-game area. After you’ve done that, you’ll have to level up an area to level 4 - any area will do - before tempered monsters start appearing. Once all the conditions have been met, all you need to do is hunt these monsters until you’ve obtained enough materials.

[@ultradius7]

Iceborne is very nice, a great update, but gotta say is very disappointing to see the weapons still not looking as awesome as they use to be in older titles. The team spend more time in the house customization than weapons design lol, i rather pick weapons costumization and have a tiny house than the contrary.

[@robbyDiablo62]

@@ronansilverknight8218 If you're lost for words that simply means you're unable to understand someone else's perspective, also you seem to completely misunderstand what I said to begin with. Saying I don't play for the gameplay is putting words into my mouth. I never claimed such a thing. I simply value the weapon designs a lot, and having had unique weapon designs for pretty much ALL of the MH franchise, only to lose them in the most recent game is disheartening, especially since the whole concept of "crafting awesome weapons" is a major motivation to me for playing the game. Seriously though, what you're doing is simply jumping to conclusions based on your own views. I'm glad you're fine with the designs though, but please respect the people who genuinely dislike this change. If I were to pull the same bullshit rhetoric out on you that you just did to me, it would be something along the lines of "lmao you only play to kill monsters with ugly iron weapons. Muh realism, hurr durr can't appreciate something good-looking when he sees it". Saying stuff like that is an absolute waste of time & life, both for you and me.

Man, I wish they could at east make a statement about this. It just doesn't make any sense. Those Glavenus GS are an absolute disappointment. WHY? JUST WHY?

[@Scuuurbs]

I really hope more people are outspoken about this. They wanna give the new monsters shitty iron/bone weapon skins? Fine, w/e, I hate them. But taking already-established weapon models and reducing them to the same generic TRASH, is unacceptable. If it had to do with time, they should've had the art team work more on weapons and less on gimmicky house decorations. "Oh, look at all the pretty animals you can catch, and you can make your home look *so* unique!" "Oh yeah, cool... i definitely will utilize this for maybe 30 minutes and never touch it again. Meanwhile my weapon looks like shit. Thanks!"

[@TheMrSwampert]

Sometimes it’s just hard to find a mix since some monsters don’t fit a certain weapon type. For example, making a great sword for the Rathalos is probably way easier than making something like a bow and arrow for the Glavenus. I know monsters have existing weapons from old games, but they probably didn’t have enough time to implement them, or maybe they just didn’t want to have them in for some reason. I really don’t think it’s fair for people to say “oh, they just don’t care” which is clearly untrue. They’ve packed so much content into Iceborne, and though I do wish some of the weapons were a bit more creative, I can’t understand people saying that Capcom doesn’t care. Also, keep in mind that the team working on Iceborne is different than the team that worked on previous games.

Does modding a weapon into another one take up the same level slot for making another slot for the augments? Like you showed the CB with 3 slots, then can create another slot (4th) but it takes up a weapon level, so does combining weapons take up the same weapon level slots?

[@MrBlitzpunk]

I kinda wish iceborne would give us a better reason to grind Tempered monster beside just decoration (which i think is really stupid). I wish it'd be more like MHGU where a weapon would branch into 2 different paths, either normal or hyper (or in this case, tempered) weapon. Tempered monsters will give a unique and specific item for each monster and that item can be used to upgrade tempered weapons. It could mean tempered weapon would have higher raw but lower sharpness, or high sharpness but low elementals. while normal monster weapon would be more balanced etc. So we'd have more choice, either balanced weapon or specialized weapon. Not just grinding the same tempered over and over hoping for the blessing of RNGesus

[@andhikamaulana2186]

yup, the same feeling here. really miss the previous MH games because of the LOOK/DESIGN of the weapon. not saying that the MHW is bad game, not at all. i played MH since MH 1 in PS2, longshot till MH Gen on 3DS Nintendo. and i get excited each and every title of MH games because of the thought of new monster, features/mechanics, and WEAPONS & ARMORS from The monsters itself. and every time my expectation is blown away by the evolution of weapons/armors design of each games. But then when i noticed some of the weapon design in MHW, it came to the point of "WTH with this design, bone sword with little bit skin attached ??". i know that the developers are aiming for a great game-play, but pls, make the little boy in me get hype again every time i saw monster weapons or armors design, and aiming to build EVERY, SINGLE ONE OF THE EQUIPMENT just for mere aesthetic reason. sorry for rambling on your video @arekkzz, but as one of your subs, i believe you can deliver our message to them (Capcom team).

[@Gameshunter92]

I don't have Iceborne yet, I'm PC only, but checking the footage when you tried to explain the custom mods for the Kurogane as an example, I think you are wrong with how you showcased what the "limit amount" for it is. Unless ofc going even further than what you were able to show fills up the 2nd level "square" on the level section, it seems that you can simply progress through custom mods until you reach a separate maximum that has nothing to do with the Level of the weapon, which seemed to be exclusive only from increasing the amount of slots for the other type of augments.

[@Index154]

That's my impression of it as well, especially since the first level box is already filled in before he even puts on a custom upgrade. If it really had a limit of two custom upgrades then that would also be almost worthless because of how little you actually gain from them.

augments get removed when you upgrade a weapon, you do get the materials back though.

[@sifter226]

*Laughs in master rank* your high rank augments don’t transfer over to master rank...or more so I mean when you upgrade them to those higher rarities the weapon loses the augment slot. For example in the rathalos longsword tree the rarity 8 wyvern blade “Indigo” has 1 augmentation slot and when it is upgraded to rarity 10 “Indigo”+ it loses that slot. Since rarity 12 is master rank endgame that’s probably when you’ll get the master rank version of augment slots. Either that or rarity 11...

[@androidmodding6663]

the current augmenting made it harder a bit. lets say that you have 4 augmeting slots. selecting the attack augmentation will occupy 3 of them. so you have to choose wisely between augmentations unlesss you have more than 4 or 5

[@Rathadude]

What happens to weapons augmented under the old system? Do you lose your augmentation once you upgrade that weapon to master rank?

[@UmTalDeUmPH]

Apparently you do, but you also get a refund on the materials you used

[@ShadowknightEX]

While I’m still mad about the glavenus GS, there are some bone/ iron designs I like, so having a little choice in that helps a bit

[@ShadowknightEX]

Plus I have a few charge blade builds running though my head

[@silverhawk923]

Given everything we got in iceborne I actually don’t care about the weapons look as much now

I keep seeing this popping up and I'll say it here, there's no transmog. Google "transmog dream is dead" and it'll take you to a twitch clip where Team Darkside talks about it.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the augmenting system got any easier to access, i still haven't gotten any of those special streamstones that are needed to augment in base game after what feels like literal weeks of grinding and i was hoping it was made a little easier with Iceborne

[@TheKingSwamper]

Hunt any temper elder dragon gives highest chance for the special streamstone needed to unlock augment.

[@TheNarutosage95]

@@TheKingSwamper thanks man, i guess i just have some really bad luck lol

[@El-Vic-]

Should i stop farming streamstones then?

[@IloveGorgeousGeorge]

Yeah, unfortunately. There's a new version of them after you complete the storyline boss.

[@rustamrustam1420]

Does anyone knows how to upgrade zinogre weapon to 12grade? I spent already three days in the new area with endless grind, and have no idea where these ??? materials to take.

[@gavynking9291]

So is this only for PlayStation because it doesn’t pop up for me on Xbox. And my weapon is rarity 11

[@Squalid]

The custom upgrades are practically pure aesthetics, because 1% affinity up is nothing, 5 plus damage of non true damage on a GS is nothing too.

[@KaiHyouookami]

Which is why there's more than 2 upgrade levels.

[@destiny2616]

Can someone help me? I just played MH again and im now MR 14 and HR 54. I havent unlock Augmentation from the HR49 Kirin mission. How do i unlock augmentation for Iceborne?

[@natezodiak]

If you upgrade a weapon from high rank to master rank that was previously augmented do you get your stream stones back?

[@marvthereddevil5418]

You get the streamstones, monster parts & zenny back. A full refund.

[@natezodiak]

@@marvthereddevil5418 HOREEEE SHIIIIIIIIIITTTT!!! thanks for the heads up!
