Monster Hunter World | Augmenting Explained - The Real End Game

[@ArekkzGaming]

Seems like you can get the Warrior Streamstone Shards from Tier 2 Tempered monsters as well!

[@stewartbutterfield2661]

Can confirm. Got 1 on each of my 2 Legiana hunts I just did.

[@lunathelightfury9086]

How can i get the ododgaron gem to appear at elder melder's?(i have the golden thing)

[@markhackett9080]

Any idea why I can't craft nergigante weapons although I have materials and zenny requirement met? I can however craft his gear :/

[@coldassnow8028]

I got a question, how do I get other plates from the melding pot? All I’ve seen right now is the rathian and Anjanath plate, I’m really trying to get the rathalos and Legian armor just for collection purposes.

“The Real End Game” Iceborne: Im bout to end this man’s video.

[@satsukiimports5209]

I was wondering about that. Does Iceborne extends the weapon tree. Now, I have to grind even more before I can augment (which I haven’t done before Iceborne).

[@Narniak69]

5:19 I love how Capcom locks the entire augmenting system for any armor or weapon behind a rare drop high level stone, then explains nothing to the player.

[@leeham6230]

I found that strange, especially with the amount of video tutorials that are in the game. Did they just get lazy with this one?

I actually like it no joke

[@alexdemarest1524]

[@Belgariad87]

I'm not sure about the others speeding through this game, but i just beat the story at like 80ish hours and unlocked tempered monsters, and i'm not even touching them until i get all the weapons i want from types outside the DBs i've been using and i get the end game armor that i want. To be clear, i spent 80 hours upgrading ONE weapon type, i can't imagine people saying they are already tired of this game have really mastered EVERY or even MOST weapon types. I'm not saying you're arent getting your worth if you don't love every weapon type, but do at least try every weapon and if a couple seem interesting try a lil harder to master them, it really is entirely different playstyles.

[@ShadowMistNinja]

totally agree with this, just got to hr 29 with GS then stopped to go back and make armor sets and play other weapons. I helped a friend finish low rank and found a new love of gunlance and switchaxe.

[@Theron101]

Gamekeeper i have put 80ish hours into this game on and off the story but mostly just hunting monsters w/ friends becuase its so much fun

[@TheFilthyCringer]

Made two characters, one I played through solely with long sword and after being unsatisfied with the female armour sets I decided to make a male character and thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to try the charge blade. I've only just got to Pukei-pukei and I can already feel I've improved from flailing about and forgetting combos. Can't wait to try more weapons once I'm satisfied with my charge blade skills. I plan to go all the way with both accounts, master and build the top tiers of every weapon.

[@YaBoiJessy]

Im still trying to beat that Beyond the Blasting Scales quest those two bastards are annoying af. Im about to get 80 hours and still have so much room for improvement with my wepon and gear.

[@toromisher]

I've put almost 90 hours in so far and have only reached HR 10 by doing exactly what you have suggested. I farm enough materials to make about several different weapons of the same monster tree, plus running back old hunts with online friends, plus running back whatever part of the game I am trying to get my little brother through (he only plays the game when I am around to play with him and it makes me so happy!). I love this game.

[@ohmazio7836]

So basically to unlock augmentation system, you need to: 1. Complete slay 2 tempered bazeljuices 2. Complete slay tempered kirin 3. Go to expedition to find tempered monster tracks until “investigation was added” appeared 4. Enlisted investigation to slay tempered monster 5. Get streamstones 6. Go to smithy 7. Unlock augmentation system Is that it?

[@XxBoomTubexX]

Thanks

[@Walt_Xander94]

Are you fuckin' kidding me? This godddamn game is grindy af. How did no one talk about that when this game was getting so much praise as being a great first game for all gamers?(while previous games were niche. I see why). And you forgot to mention that people have to go to the Resource Center, then Manage Investigations to find these damn Tempered Monster quests, which will be hell to beat.

[@ShatteredGlass916]

@@Walt_Xander94 i bet this is your first game yes? If so, welcome. Also, if you think this game is grindy, imagine play the older generation. The previous MH i played is MHFU (yes, i skipped MH3 and MH4 due to budget lol), and you have no idea how insane the grind system there. Back then, mining requires pickaxe items, Whetstone aren't infinite like now, and armors were seperated between longrange and shortrange (just so you can grind some more)

[@Walt_Xander94]

@@ShatteredGlass916 Fuck off with the comparisons to previous games. Ive seen so many comments of such when having to look up the game a bunch. Btw, if a game forces you to look up shit alot, then said game has lazy game design. Just because the older games had bullshit, doesnt change that the new one has its own fair share of bullshit. So much so that even a KZbin comment doesnt narrow everything down. I had to do a lvl3 Tempered Elder Dragon Investigation to get a Hero Steamstone after getting to HR50, to unlock Augments. I had a feeling that getting one would mean jack shit because *more* grinding would be required, and I was right. Saying otherwise is like if I said that something in a new Assassin's Creed game isn't bad because the older games had bs in them. Just because I'm a long-time fan of that series(I havent spent $60 on an AC title since Rogue though), doesnt change that the newest installment has its own bs.

[@Walt_Xander94]

@@ShatteredGlass916 I recall Capcom having to say that Monster Hunter World wouldnt have loot boxes. Its *really* that this game was supposed to have them, which is why the game is so damn grindy, getting hero streamstones and those earplugs are 100% RNG & monsters have broken hitboxes and cheap attacks. And thats just the base game. I havent played much of the expansion yet, because after it took so damn long to beat Beotodus, such a lazy ass copy & paste of Jyuratodus(the *2nd* copy & paste of that monster) and bullshit to fight, I have to grind even more to get augmented weapons & armor.

I'm loving how much praise this game has been getting. Hopefully this will make EA realise that a lot of gamers prefer complex systems within games rather than the oversimplified systems such as the subclass perk trees in Destiny 2.

[@badasstoad9419]

Arekz, for the sake of the MHW community, could you *please* read this rather short comment? As many of us may have already noticed, the in-game MHW community is a lot more quiet than in older MH games. (By which I mean that the chat is quiet almost always) But thanks to some random guy that I found today, I learnt that a BIG reason of why this is caused is because the “All” chat in MHW lets you send messages ONLY to people who are in Astera, and NOT ones who are questing! By pressing R2 while in the chat, you can make it able to send messages to EVERYONE in the session. And that’s a really big deal, because 90% of people in MHW find it so easy to grind quests due to the SOS system, and are constantly busy. In other words, they are outside of Astera *most* of the time, and unable to talk or organize hunts with their fellow hunters. If you would be interested in informing the community about this in one of your videos, I’d be really grateful to you. In fact, I believe many of us would. :) Thanks for reading this, if you did!

[@northkorea9223]

Badass Toad Damn never knew this thanks!

[@badasstoad9419]

North Korea No worries, man. :) That guy yesterday actually is the one we should be mostly thanking for, to be honest. For helping me notice this. xD He sent a message while I was fighting Nergigante, and he asked if anyone wanted to do Arena quests. At first I replied to him mid-hunt, but he didn’t reply back, and I found that weird. THAT’S when I finally realized that I could change the recipients of my messages from “Headquarters” to “All”, by pressing R2. And then he replied to me. :) And we had a good time playing classic MH multiplayer the good old fashioned way in the hub! :D And lastly, you should probably look for “Same language” lobbies if you want more chances to find people to play or talk with. Since (no offense) there’s a looooot of Japanese players in the PS4 version of the game, and there’s a high chance you’d find a lot of them in a “Any language” lobby. lol Thus significantly reducing your chances of communicating with your fellow hunters. Well, unless you speak Japanese! :)

[@Superbed3]

Nah it’s because the quests are hella easy and there’s no need to communicate when they end it 10 mins or less.

[@AnimeSimp234]

Superbed3 Okay tough guy. Not everyone's a MH vet like you ok? The game's difficult as hell for me, but fun too.

[@badasstoad9419]

Monika is Bae Haha That is understandable. And I wouldn’t take these elitists seriously, if I were you. Honestly, *EVERY* hard game is “easy” once you get a lot of experience on it. Even games like Dark Souls. (I got good at Dark Souls super fast because of my experience in MH) People would be lieing if they said they never found MH hard at all. lol Literally *EVERY* MH veteran that I know started out as a noob at the game. And it’s only natural that the future games will start looking easy to you after you become good at the previous ones. In the end, all that matters is to actually enjoy the game for what it is. :) And MHW will get a lot harder in the future too, when we get G Rank in the game. But every MH game starts out without G Rank.

[@KishanK1022]

For augmenting affinity on your weapon, it’s 10% Crit for the first time. The second or third time you do it for the same weapon it’s only 5%. Not sure if you mentioned that but just throwing it in there. Also rarity 8 - can be augmented 1 time, rarity 7- 2 times and rarity 6 is 3 times.

[@ii2038]

holy jesus..60h in and not even done with main story...too much fun exploring the world. sooo muh more to grind for.. a dream come true

[@APurpleSpy]

For anyone curious, once you start hunting tempered elders, youll be drowning in gleaming stones, so armor augmenting takes no time at all. I have 3 sets of gear fully unlocked and im only HR 64. Augmenting your weapon is a 1 time deal since youll most likely have a rare 8 weapon, so thats just rng wait til it hits. The real end game is still decorations. Knowing the exact skills you want for your build, making armor, then slowly replacing the armor with better secondary skills as you shift your build into decorations, and find the perfect combination that grants you as many useful skills as possible, that's the true end game grind. And trust me, with the drop rates of useful decorations being as low as it is, this is going to take a long, LONG time.

[@jimmyh2137]

"1 time deal" Tell this to SnS/DBs mains that have one SnS/DB for each element + poison + blast (+ para)

[@PapaKeith_]

APurpleSpy I have a question. I just hit HR 50 and I did the Temp Kirin quest but still don't have Augmentation at the smithy.

[@APurpleSpy]

Nard Moore augmentation unlocks when you get your first warrior or heroes streamstone drops, which have a chance to drop from the blue rewards from tempered quests.

[@PapaKeith_]

APurpleSpy Okay, Thanks appreciate it.

[@TJ-iq2xk]

[@lukethefluke7]

I've got a funny story about that, So I reached 49 and tried taking on the tempered Kirin with this other dude, He died then when he came back got hit again, I go for the health booster and he turns the kirin towards me and it hits me with a one shot. Told me to sell my game and eat ****, so I leave, try it solo, beat it, screenshot it, posted to him and send him a friend request. Also I'm rank 50 now (Yay) Moral of the story is that sometimes, solo is better.

[@TreyDobe]

I actually killed Arch Tempered Kirin twice by myself so it's possible to do pretty much any mission alone.

[@gump361]

Look for tempered elder drag tracks on expeditions. Once you find a bunch you get an investigation.

[@darkorys8012]

thrash361 Do they have to be in the same expedition? I can only find about 1 of the floor scooping marks for tempered elder dragons in each map and in a very specific location at every map, like I get 1 Daora gnashes on the floor next to the Rathalos nest in the Ancient forest and in the Kushala nest in the Elder's Recess... I don't know what to do really...

[@gump361]

There is only one in each map (elder recess can have up to 3 though), so no it doesn't have to be the same expedition. Just go to one area go straight to the track, then go to another and do the same. Rinse and repeat till you get the investigation. When on the investigation be sure to pick up tracks and break parts so you get more points towards the next ones.

[@ResalePrimeDirectives]

I''ve beaten Tempered Kirin for the quest instructed in the video and I've killed TONS of tempered elder dragons like Vaal and Teostra. I've still not seen a single stream stone yet that allows me to unlock augmenting. I'm almost starting to wonder if it's a bug at this point with how bad the drop rate is.

[@Junior_39]

Never mind! I'll stick with not augmenting cause I'm not about to grind for something very rare. This video reminded me why I stopped playing. The drops are just never there to begin with. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong no matter what I change.

[@KeiK100]

Augmenting Slot is depending on Weapons Rarity, not by random. Rare 8 for 1 slot, Rare 7 for 2 slots and Rare 6 for 3 slots.

[@Tekkaz82]

I think the Affinity augment is only 5% after the first 10% level up. Maybe double check that m8

You need one of the weapon stones to start augmenting your gear. You wont see the option until that stone drops so keep hunting Tempered elders.

[@Zeldakostv]

I'm going to get so much hate for this, but i'm pretty much done with MH World in terms of content. 100+ Hours, Augmentation unlocked, most armors and weapons i want ive made already. Theres nothing left to do. That's the problem without G Rank on Release. And not to mention this MH is the least content filled in a long long time, in terms of the amount of monsters and such. I'll just have to wait for DLC, or go play MHXX on the Switch to fill the gap.

[@eugen5100]

Arekkz Gaming while I'm sure you already have a video planned out for some time I the future I would greatly appreciate a video about the different rooms and what creatures you can collect to keep as pets in said rooms. Maybe something passive to do between the weapon workshops?

[@AAyo9036]

Just got MHW and I just recently did the two Bazelguese and i was wondering why i should keep going. Now i have a clear reason to keep going. Awesome.

[@mikec780]

Just getting into this augmenting. Thanks

[@Kakolotan00]

Amazing as usual!

[@pirachist551]

So Arekkz, if I’m an Odogaron armor and duel blades user and my affinity is already at 50%, then is adding more affinity by augmentation overkill? Or would it be extra deadly and super terrifying? Or what would you suggest in place of it?

[@breoghanreynolds1612]

Big help thank you for explaining everything!

[@Roastpaperover9000-]

Thanks bro 🙏 this really helpful

[@louiskwan6876]

I really enjoyed your video!!!!

[@THUNDERGUNER10000]

I cant seem to find the augment option nor does my equipment show any augment slots but I’ve done the tempered Kirin quest. So i should have it right?

[@MrBozuu]

I could not think of better examples of how to properly install "chase" in a game centered AT ITS CORE, looting. There is sooooooooo much to do, so much to master, so much to grind, but none of it is out of reach with some good dedication and focus. For every weapon type (14) there's 2 or 3 that stand way out for the player's playstyle, and for every playstyle there's a broad spectrum of full sets that are worth chasing after, as well as a few min-max-er sets. And when those aren't enough, there are for the truly dedicated and focused, augmented abilities, still within reach. And every single bit is earned through progression as a player learning the game. And the best part is that end game gear still doesn't guarantee you're playing god mode with the looming threat of still being one-shot-ed. You can still lose your edge, still lose a hunt, but even that gives the chase for succeeding next time.

[@0omatthewo0]

saw augmenting material require. *laughing in insanity*

[@joelblack3847]

Thnx tht helped alot i didnt even know about augmenting

[@mandoprincess9813]

Gods, Beyond the Blasting Scales was almost the death of me. Then I watched your video on tempered monsters and felt better about it. Solo'd it after 2 tries. P.S love your videos ❤

[@Superbed3]

You can get tempered elder dragon investigations from regular tempered monsters tracks from high rank expeditions so pick up all tempered tracks while on high rank expeditions. You need luck to get a weapon streamstone from the tempered monsters or elder dragons investigations to unlock the augmentation option at the smithy. That’s the only way so get farming... I didn’t get one until HR 58 which was today. Im now HR 60 with fully augmented Vaal Hazak armor set :D

[@tyreemakesbeats]

WHAT IS THE SONG USED IN THIS VIDEO!!!

[@BlazinBlack109]

I have to ask. Whats the background music you use for your videos?

[@FrancuzSnk]

Atm im hr 56 and making all the Time tempered tier 2 and 3 and i cant unlock that augumentation :( any tips?

[@rio923100]

So if you can upgrade your armor infinite times, could you theoretically upgrade it to make it seem like Tempered elders are LR monsters?

[@beastslayer8729]

For the record, you can unlock it before rank 50. You just have to get a warriors streamstone to drop from a tier 2 tempered monster.

[@AJ-xj4pw]

Answered all my questions great vid just need the streamstone for bowgun 😎

[@chrism5133]

Amount of augment slots for weapons are dependent on the ending rank for that weapon. A rank 8 weapon has 1 slot, 2 for 7 and 3 for 6.

[@Viktoria_Thaelin]

You can unlock augmenting as soon as you unlock your Hunter Rank the first time, any tempered monster you fight as a chance of dropping Warrior stones and as soon as you find one it will unlock augmenting... I got my first one and therefore augmenting at rank 31

[@MagicManCM]

I missed honing so much! This is gonna be so satisfying!

[@Mornings]

just beat the game today, I went through and planned out the build i wanna make now before taking any of this endgame stuff on

[@aidenmuskus3914]

I’m hunter rank 50 but I cannot find the augmentation slot in the smithy what do i do

[@edpaolosalting9116]

If I recall you have to get a streamstone first from auggh..... Tempered elder dragons mostly. (The monsters with a purple lining in its picture.) I think any would do.

[@edpaolosalting9116]

Also the streamstone should say something like this: Eg. "Hero Streamstone: Blade." Thst is just 1 kind. You better pray to RNGesus to get the 1 for your beloved weapon.

[@aidenmuskus3914]

Cool thanks!

[@powerssean34]

Thanks for the info helped alot

[@aadnee1075]

😀Make a video of the final nergigante charge blade it can really help us charge blade uses😀

[@daddyike5676]

You know you have good buddies when they roast you when you faint during hunts.

[@NexusKirin]

As someone told me: Life - Affinity - Attack No def, DEFINITELY NO SLOT

[@hujanair2]

thank you, i was wondering why the augmented part of smithy wouldn't unlock. bcs i had like a couple of streamstones from lower tier tempered lol

[@Llarthel]

Thanks for explaining how it's unlocked since Capcom was very cryptic about literally every unlock in post-game. Though, I would have preferred it if you mentioned how to unlock it at the beginning of the video instead of the end. I almost closed the window thinking you weren't going to cover it (the only thing I was looking for).

[@Polopollo75]

How did the Nergigande dropped at 5:27? I didn't see any flash pod. Is it an unknown technique?!! :D I need to know...for reasons!

[@ruchiha4109]

My friend killed 148 vaal, 68 Teostra, 48 kushala and 32 Kirin and the 148 vaal gave him the hero streamstone for the great sword. he has over 3 of every other weapon ( heroes streamstone)

[@lewistmt1]

Cool video. Didnt know about augmenting till a few hours ago. But i got one question. Howmany times can i raise the upgrade limit on a piece of armour? Is it just once? I hope its endless

[@shatteredfate7114]

How do you get Tempered Investigations? I know you have to find the blue tracks but for example I have picked up maybe 30 Tempered Barroth tracks and haven't gotten a single investigation. Is it by chance and I'm unlucky or something?

[@ikerichman8375]

Hey arekkz could you do a video explaining melting? I'm really confused as to how to get the tickets for plates and i have no clue how to get the rubies and the melting points. Thanks

[@randalldraco3822]

So after hundreds of hrs of grinding, ill have my ideal set setup, and nothing else to do... Genius.

[@minion630]

question for anyone: In area 3 in wildspire waste, i found a group of 3 critters. they're like a feral tribe of the palicos that will usually help you, but these guys have like tiki masks and are territorial. they get pissy if you get close to them, and attack if you don't go away. they hit you pretty hard with a variety of status effects, but stay close to their area and won't chase you far. i can't find anything on Google or youtube, so figured I'd ask here and find out if anyone else had run into these little guys, and if they're there for anything in particular

[@Superbed3]

Josh Gritton shakalakas

[@minion630]

Superbed3 thank you. I'm obviously new to the games. thought they were interesting little things, but couldn't find anything about them.

[@blankblanky7979]

Superbed3 Useful sometimes mostly when they tranq a monster that's about to trample you to death.

[@Superbed3]

Blank Blanky yea rarely tho. They mostly go after you

[@taylorflood9510]

They're called Gajalakas, search that on KZbin

[@gruffthegryphon6711]

I got my first Augment on PC last night doing a Tempered Odogaron Investigation

[@maxlee5228]

Good guide! By the way. There's one question.. is it possible to remove augmented weapon option? Let's say I put affinity augment but I don't like it and wanna change to other option is it possible to remove the affinity augment or I need to make another new weapon?

[@facehugger8995]

is re rolling decorations worth it? specially the ones that require gleaming stream stones?

[@cibrig8719]

Only the final upgrade is. The first two are just a waste of decos if you ask me

[@CeRRano33]

Hey @Arekkz Gaming could you do a vid about what skills to use for better dmg outcome etc. ? like what skill suit Charge blade best, bow ? thanx!

[@projectembrace]

Each time you put "spoiler warning" at the beginning of your video it really just gets me more excited!! Haha.

[@ninebreakerrz7576]

I was lost and now thanks to you i am found thanks as always bro
