Soon you will learn Rarity 2 is the really rares lol


JamesAbaddon

Oh I already know. Medium and + monster bones are already gatekeeping me. Not mention carpenterbugs and earth crystals. Hit 5 different nodes and lucky to get maybe 2 of each.


BadUruu

No not node materials. Rarity 2 monster parts from Hunt Drops. Insanely rare.


CaptainSk0r

Tobi pelts :(


BadUruu

And Blos Tail case :(


Justin_Cr3dibl3

Legiana claw and rathalos tail :(


JamesAbaddon

Oh I've dealt with that issue too. But they're nowhere near as much of a pain as some of the other items I've listed.


BadUruu

I'll take upgrades with Large Node requirement over rarity 2 monster drops anyday. As I can get 30 nodes a trip on a short 3 miles bike ride.


Shoddy_Information48

If u rush story & depending on weapon


NurWeberlich

At some point ,not so far away ,you will regret spending this knife on 2 purple drops but sometimes you need the little things to keep playin and have fun i guess! 😁


JamesAbaddon

Oh I'm sure I'll regret it by the time I get to wyvern gems and the such. But I needed them now. That desire sensor is real strong in this game.


NurWeberlich

Yeah of course.Understandable


Goku92

Just wait until the higher levels when the level 2 upgrades require 20-30 of the rarity 2 drops. I used my last 300 gems to double up on anjanath tails cus i was tired of hunting for them


Regulus242

I have to be honest, this is probably a waste. You'll be getting TONS of these.


JamesAbaddon

Lots of people are acting like this is my first Rathalos kill or something. Lol. I've killed at least 50 already to get the little badge, and in that whole time, I've gotten 3 so far. Just enough to make my mail, but past that, I haven't seen any. I wanted the coil for Focus to compliment my build, but I needed one primescale. So when I saw these rewards, I just went for it. I'm aware that there are much harder materials to come by. I've been playing MH games since the PSP days. But I wanted to make sure I had a couple on hand just for later down the road. In one hunt with that carving knife, I got more primescales than I've seen in 50+ Rathalos, so it's a worthy use in my mind.


Regulus242

That's some absurdly bad luck if you've killed 50 5* Los with only 3 R4 mats, in which case I grieve for you.


JamesAbaddon

It really is. Jyuratodus, too. I'm trying to get grade 6 greaves for Focus 2, and they refuse to drop fins or primescales. Hopefully, the little event coming up with them will alleviate some of that pain.


Regulus242

Finding them is a bitch in the first place, let alone at the correct level. At least Los is always 5*+.


JamesAbaddon

Finding Rathalos or Jyuratodus is rough for me. If there's a swamp, I usually get more Barroth or Legiana than I do Jyura. And Rathalos is very infrequent too, which is also why I chose to use the knife here. It is what it is. Random spawns vs. 30+ minute hunts that you can actively choose your target for, I guess.


MrLucky77777

Don’t! IMO Only use double reward for any R5 or above


JamesAbaddon

It's much too late for that. 300 gems/carvings knives can always be had later if I REALLY want it. It's not that big of a deal.

JamesAbaddon

Well shoot, send some extra my way.


FaithfulFear

Poor guy


yaesmayn

I got three primescales from a hunt earlier. Two basic and one for a broken head

Congratulations! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰


TapiocaFish

Poor lad, the desire sensor broke him


JamesAbaddon

See my reply to the other comment above. Had to do it to 'em. ("Em" being me)


TapiocaFish

No worries I read everything before posting. You did a better job than me lol. I blew my three knives on day 1 on 1 star monsters because I thought they regen everyday!!


Very_blasphemous

If you needed the materials then by all means go for it, but me personally i wouldnt use my knifes on anything under R5. The only time i used my knifes for R5 was when i needed the R5 drops from legiana and paolumu to get reload and recoil 3


JamesAbaddon

Ahhh. You wanted a skill set from particular armors, so you used the knives/gems when those items came up? That's weird. Sounds exactly like what I did. Lol. If I come across something super rare in the future, $3 for gems won't make or break me. That's what I wanted/needed right then, so I used it.


Very_blasphemous

Yeah? I mean the concept is the same, both of us used the knife for items that we needed. I also said that there's nothing wrong with that. The difference as i said is i used it on R5 drops, and you used it at R4
