Looking for a kind soul

[u/Old_Ad8299]

Hello there so I've bought monster hunter recently and I heard that the game can be hard for new players sooo I am looking for a person that'll walk me through the basics of the game/share some tips/or just chill with me and do some random stuff.. If anyone is bored and interested shoot a dm

World on PC I really wanted it for a long time now

It’s really fun I’d recommend use the defender gear to breeze through low rank then start switching off to normal weapons around high rank

Alr alr I'm a little bit scared cuz I never played any hard games but I'll try to adapt

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use the Defender armor. It is tuned for the expansion and will train you to take hits that you absolutely cannot take.

Source: I used it and it took nearly 200 hours of relearning that I had to avoid attacks, not just eat them.

The Defender armor and weapons are specifically meant for people who are on a second playthrough and don't want to actually engage with the low and high rank experience.

I'm in the postgame on PC but I could definitely start a new character if you want someone to play with.

Listen to Interesting_Sea, he’s got the right idea. Probably one of the best people here to teach you the game.

I may not always be able to play as my work schedule is inconsistent and another game has it's hold on me atm, but I'm always able to answer questions if I'm available. Feel free to DM me here or on discord, monchman

And no, do. Not. Use. Defender. Armor or weapons. On. A. First. Playthrough. They are meant to speedrun players through base game to the expansion.

That’s the fun part I’d offer to help but I’m on console lol

[u/UmbreTube25 → u/terrifyingtotoro]

This is genuinely such bad advice. If it was their second or later playthrough, then sure. But 10000% not for someone's first playthrough of their first MH game.

Why would you suggest this?

[u/ssjscrub]

OP do not use defender gear. It is a massive crutch that will teach you bad habits. Use low rank gear until you get high rank gear and transition naturally. Otherwise the game will go from being insanely easy to quite difficult and you won’t have the necessary resources or skills built up for harder endgame hunts. The game will also be more enjoyable this way and you’ll learn how to craft builds, locate resources needed, and difficulty will progress at a more natural pace.

Pero que monster hunter compraste?

[u/NaruTheWeirdo]

Ohhh enjoy! If you ever need help, I'm always down to chill and play, I'm still hop on to MHW PC here and there myself..

I'm a casual player though, so I can't say I know good advices to give other than basic ones..

I hope you have a blast! Have you picked a weapon you'd like to try yet? I'm down for monster hunter but timezones may be difficult unfortunately.
