I'm here in 2020, more specifically July 2020. Alatreon was just added into Iceborne. This very video was the first Gaijin video I watched. Was a glaive main back in 4U and this video popped up when I tried to find guides for kinsect cuz the kinsect system was very complicated and messy in 4U. He has a certain charm to his voice to make me feel relaxed after some salt from continuous carts to Rajang. He goes thru everything step by step and very carefully. I knew I was hooked right away, been here forever and will still be here. I might be back in 2025 to check in again. Thank you so much Gaijin and thank you all wonderful subscribers. Much love.
I also went here after setting off the dust in my 3ds. I was also a regular on his vids until I took hiatus 4 years ago. Need a refresher to get into hunting apex once again.
Gaijin, I want to thank you. I followed this guide using the second method, and it worked perfectly. I used the same glaive you did and everything, and it’s really nice having a great kinsect. I appreciate this stuff.
9:20 just to skip straight to the good method. 11:25 for misc. materials. 39 Power+ to 132 Power 19 Speed+ to 96 Speed 19 Stamina+ to 96 Stamina 30 Speed+ to 150 Speed 114 Power, 96 Stamina, 150 Speed total.
Probably already mentioned. While you might mess up things. As long as you do not evolve your kinsect you can always change it. You can always feed your kinsect after the fact. So you can always work on changing it back. This works great if you are upgrading your glaive while using it. As you can go full speed from the start and you just save up all your power nectars, then dump those in at the end, reducing speed back to 60, but at the same time you can get the evolution and stronger glaive, while you had a speedy bug.
The only thing stopping me from going Glaive at any point before G was thinking I had to have the ++ nectars. Now that i know I can do it with just +, I may just make a glaive my next project. Love the tutorials, thanks for the English version!
So helpful, thank you so much Gaijin. I love that you decided to commentate in your videos as this makes it easier for me to internalize the material. Keep it up Broski.
Dude after all these years I got this recommended again. I'm still an IG main and this video was a big part of me not giving up this weapon(s) Thank you Gaijin!
Dude, this guide was amazing! I'm just getting into MH but I am loving it. Very enjoyable to see the different quests and items. Trying to get my block/evade timing on point ;)
Man, I'm so lucky, I just bought this game on the Eshop and wasn't sure of how it worked here, it's completly different from Generations but now I don't have to ruin my IG, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this Gaijin hunter. I was one of people that really asked for this on your other video! Really appreciate the effort you have put into the MH community.
You can easily gather ++ Nectars on any G-rank expedition or Guild Quest, no need for Treasure area. On most areas, you might see acorn-like gathering points on the ground. Those give either elemental Nectars or ++ Nectars. Some zones, such as the one with the shallow streams (Kelbi / Aptonoth feeding area), almost always have both. If they're blue, you get 2 Nectars per gather. Each node either gives only elemental Nectar or only ++ Nectars.
Don't forget you can save your game before beginning either process (or your own) and if it does not work out how you planned just load the save and no harm done.
It may be just me; as I just started getting used to the Insect Glaive, but they are pretty easy to make and upgrade. It's just expensive. Like I only had to had the Flaming Crimson Fatalis twice to have all the materials I need and all those little hunts, (Damn Flutterflies.) to get the materials needed to upgrade. I had like 7 or 8 digits of zenny and now after fully upgrading the Crimson Glaive, I'm a bit under 5 or 4. Don't remember the exact numbers. Then again, it's probably just me as mentioned above, I only started using Insect Glaive.
just want to say that u can get max stat (114 power, 60 stamina, 150 speed) with only simple + nectars with gaijin hunters method if u do it a little diffent. all u need is to at lvl 11 after u filled the growth bar shift ur points to power til u have 114 power. then upgrading ur kinsect and put the rest of ur points into speed. hope this helps. and thanks this video has been a great help.
I'm glad I didn't waste too many high rank and G rank parts on upgrading insect glaives. I had been upgrading with the element+ nectars you get early in the game. Having elemental damage wasn't as impressive as I'd hoped, and this looks like the way to go in any case.
gaijin hunter Speaking of Kinsects. In your tutorial for insect glaives you left out 2 skill that you can use. If you press "R" in one of your combos you will strike the monster with the end of your staff allowing you to mark them that way, as well before releasing your kinsect you can actually hold the "X" button and charge your staff up before letting your Insect go causing it to move faster and hit a lot harder.
I never realized how much damn materials you need to upgrading this thing all at once, I had to stop midway during the upgrade phase to collect mega demondrugs and demonpills it took forever, and that was only for one glaive!! I have four I need to make lmao
Extract extend is the best but nobody is telling you that it's your only option. Extract efficacy L is nice too if you want to be overpowered for a short time. Seriously the health boost you get makes akantor and ukanlos fights trivial. you wont even touch a potion. You might want to look into what other skills there are and what trees you need to follow though because you can easily screw yourself over. (It's why if I make a glaive in G rank i make sure i over farm so I can fully upgrade in bulk so i can restart if i slip up)
BlaizeTheDragon But from most standpoints, you really don't have those other options. Going for any other option hampers yourself, and that's not what you want to do at all. It's like saying Blue sharpness weapons are fine in late G Rank. Yeah, you can use them, but Purple ones are just flat out better every time. Those other kinsects are only useful for novelty or super specialized circumstances.
That's pretty much what a "meta game" is: The most optimal way to play a game. What grinds my gears is when people say "OH FUCK ALL THAT, I LIKE TO PLAY *MY* GAMES FOR FUN!" because it is as if they are implying that grinding for mixed and matched equipment and acquiring very potent skills in order to kill a monster quicker than the norm is boring, yet wearing matching armor sets only to look cool or thinking the game ends at low/high rank is fun. There's nothing wrong with playing a game at a "casual" level, but when you consider people like them as the reason for the dip in the quality of modern gaming then that is when people who actually know how to invest time into something they love need to speak up.
What if someone was crazy enough to farm ++ Nectar and use it instead of the Wycoon purchasable + ones, would we be hitting the same result or do they really only matter at the end once you do have the bug set?
Hint: Don't use any of the elemental nectars! Not only do they only give 1 to the important stat, but you will never be attacking with the kinsect except to get juiced, making them completely useless filler that you could just sell.
I don't know about you guys, but having used melfs kinsect guide from the very beginning of the game for my IGs, i didn't have any problems using a very slow bug
The method is great but I also like to use my buggy buddy as a weapon, with this method I don't get elemental damage so I'll stick to get cutting speed and stamina since I can keep cut tails with it. :)
Gaijin. What do you think of people who hack in armor/weapons/talismans, should I kick them? Today I actually met a person online who told me they had a hacked talisman(ooo Auto Guard +10, Defense +14). They were G2 and also had a honed Rare 10 Daora CB and full G-Rank Dalamadur armor. It just infuriates me that people like us dedicate time and effort to make these armor sets, and then there are people who just cheat there way up. It kinda ruins some of the fun of mh imo because of the satisfaction that comes with completing a set or defeating a difficult quest.
You know, I seem to be able to do this blind. At the end of it all, I always seem to find myself to get 96 in all stats before I get to level 10 and I can see the option of the bug I want. THAT SAID however, I'm not fully funded at the moment so when the time comes and I can amass some funds, I may follow this step in order.
i wrote down this recipe based on the video power > LV3 power-type speed > LV6 power-type Speed > LV8 Stamina > LV10 Blue Type Speed! 150 Power++! 114 correct?
Gaijin there are 2 ways of getting the effect extender so it might be good to also show the second method It starts via stamina based kinsect try it out
Thanks Gaijin! I'm using this guide to help make a Seltas IG that'll be useful down the road. That'll be my 'test glaive', before I start to make more IG's in this style C:
For a long time I’ve been hoping Gaijin Hunter would make a tutorial on how to make the most powerful Elemental Kinsect. But I guess it’s not really gonna happen? Loved this video though, I’ve used it for all my glaives a few years ago.
Would you mind doing a tutorial of how to do all this with ++ nectars in order to get a bit more better version in the end? I'm also a bit confused of how low rarity the weapon has to be in the beginning in order to have enough upgrades available to reach EE. Do I always have to start from the bottom of weapon's tree? And what about if certain weapon has just a few version upgrades available in stead of 10?
the final dalamadur glaive would definitely make it on the list of top 5 too, 930 raw, something around 300 blast, no affinity, insane sharpness and 1 slot. just waiting for the dlc with g-rank dalamadur :)
To all people who play this game in german: Kraft+-Nektar = Power+Nectar Ausdauer+-Nektar = Stamina+Nectar Geschwindgkt+Nkt = Speed+Nectar Why i wrote that? They actually added a " - " at Stamina and Power Nectar after the " + ". But at Speed its still just " + ".
Hi! The description says 114 power and "60" stamina and 150 speed, Is that a typo for the 60 stamina? Thanks for all of the great videos gaijin hunter! They helped me a bunch all the time! :)
I love the IG in 4U but in my opininion they improved the kinsects in GU, since you were technically locked to use one kinsect in 4U, in GU however you had this cool skills in other kinsects like the affinity bug or the termor res bug (which was the only way I was able to solo my first G Rank Jho and Rajang)
Love your guides/tutorials! They're very informative. I was wondering, could you do a guide on the whole VE Ticket system?? All I've learned from research online is that the colour of your guild card corresponds to amount of unique quests you've done and has something to do with unity level which gets you different level tickets (Bronze, silver, gold, cosmic, etc) But it was all SUPER confusing to me, I can't tell what colour my guild card is supposed to be and have no Idea how to get the higher tickets D: If you did a guide that would be amazing! If not I understand, just thought it might be a good Idea for people like me who are confused about that whole system.
The one thing I can't find mentioned anywhere is can I start this with ANY IG? The only one I have available to me is the Bone Staff and I don't want to start putting in Nectars if it's going to screw it up in the end. Someone please answer!
The one thing I don't understand is: how do we know at what point the weapon upgrade paths intersect with the kinsect levels? For example, how do I know before starting that a lv 10 kinsect will occur during Needle Vine or Paralyzing Vine? Also are there any IG upgrade families that can reach a lv10 kinsect before G2 materials are required?
New player here, using the IG. I was wondering why you wouldn't use the stat++ nectars? Since they only reduce all the elements, and not the stats you are actually interested in.
Can you make a video for the other Super Kinsects? I made a brach glaive as a speed since I wasn't in G rank yet but I don't want to get rid if it. I would just like to make the Speed + Stamina Kinsect.
so... what about relic glaives, they start with weird leveled bugs, for example i got a nice metal mauler with purple sharpness with sharpness+1 with defense and affinity and solid attack with a +4 to edgemaster, but the kinsect started at level 5... not sure what nectars to use from there...
Why aren't any element Nectars used in this process? For example the "Power+ Nectar: Fire" Adds Power +2/Fire +! and the minus to Speed doesn't matter at this point.
now that we know the bug name that we need to get, makes it that much easier. power type and 96 in each by lvl 10. im wondering, WTF is the COL column when you look at equipment (under armor)(big circle with smaller circles around it) and what does it do/how do you get it? i believe by weapon its the honing of the weapon. idk about armor. thanks!
Hmm... how would I go about upgrading an IG I got from a Teo guild quest? It's called Metal Mauler and its bug is Ladytarge currently at Lv 4. I haven't touched it at all yet, so it has 60 power and speed, but 102 stamina....
i noticed that the power ++ and stamina ++ nectars don't have negatives in the other base stats beside elements. in that case if you farmed up a shitload of them from expeditions would you be able to make a kinsect with even better stats or is that wishfull thinking? i realise it would also take a shitload of effort
Can someone explain to me what are the various benefits of the 5 glaives recommended, especially when compared to other glaives which give either similar effects or damage?
Could you go over what the gore mgala amror does/how is it special because when i fight it starts glowing red and i haven't been able to find a reason why
Why is the brachy glaive on your list? sure it has better sharpness then hellruin overall, but less affinity/slots/blast is eh, and if you dont use sharpness+1 the dala glaive seems the best with its massive white (though you cant finish it yet)
hey if i could get some help it be nice i did what you say to do in the video with the dios glaive but now im about to upgrade it to the lightbreak press and dont know witch one of the two kinsects to choose, plus right now my power is at 114, 96 stamina and 96 speed
The kinsect menus were so confusing to me since it was so new and unlike MH to me. But i dont know if they should make them more easy to the eyes, keep them as they are, or make them more confusing, since part of the appeal of MH is the clunky-ness?
Yo. Love your videos. Can u make a top 5 list of your favourite insect glaive plz. Not sure which glaive to use personally. I understand different glaivre elements for different hunts, but which one would u recommend for a '1 glaive for all fights'. Thx keep up good work.
Someone help please! I'm making the Anubis Glaive! And I'm at level 10 so I can make Lady Tower, but my kinsect only has 105 in power. In Gaijins video his glaive has 114 at level 10. Is this because kushala is a cutting type and impact types just have less power? Or did I mess up somewhere?
Hi gaijin hunter , I have another question about the final upgrades though. Is there a reason why it's not needed to use Speed++ at level 11? I thought since it's the end game you can use Speed++ to reach 150 faster, and thus have more Power with Power++. Am I missing something here?
I have a bunch of stamina++ nectars in my inventory. Can I just use those where I would normally use a stamina+? Sorry I don't fully understand the IG leveling mechanics.
why is low speed considered unusable? doesnt seem that bad to me...though I kinda get my essence point blank so the bug doesnt have far to travel anyway.
Does anyone have tips for getting the queen seltas' crescent thing off her tail? I need it for a dual blade upgrade and I cant seem to find a good way to break her tail :/ and all the other ways to get it are like 7% no one will probably respond but please if you have any help for knocking it's tail off with a dual blade please tell me :)
Gaijin hunter, do you know anything about the relation between the RNG for relic weapons and guild quest level? I really wanna know because it's clear higher levels get better results, but also, would there be a big difference between a level 140 ruby basarios vs a level 140 apex jho and apex rajang or something else really tough?
Hi , I mistaked in the part use +3 energy and then +5 speed without upgrade, can I have 150 speed if I continue upgrading exactly? I think at the end you can use speed+ the way you need yo reach 150 no?
I'm here in 2020, more specifically July 2020. Alatreon was just added into Iceborne. This very video was the first Gaijin video I watched. Was a glaive main back in 4U and this video popped up when I tried to find guides for kinsect cuz the kinsect system was very complicated and messy in 4U. He has a certain charm to his voice to make me feel relaxed after some salt from continuous carts to Rajang. He goes thru everything step by step and very carefully. I knew I was hooked right away, been here forever and will still be here. I might be back in 2025 to check in again. Thank you so much Gaijin and thank you all wonderful subscribers. Much love.
Hey same here! Gaijin is great, I honestly think he helped me fall in love with monster hunter even more than I had before
I also went here after setting off the dust in my 3ds. I was also a regular on his vids until I took hiatus 4 years ago. Need a refresher to get into hunting apex once again.
*Hi from 2022*
its getting closer 👀
Gaijin, I want to thank you. I followed this guide using the second method, and it worked perfectly. I used the same glaive you did and everything, and it’s really nice having a great kinsect. I appreciate this stuff.
9:20 just to skip straight to the good method. 11:25 for misc. materials.
39 Power+ to 132 Power
19 Speed+ to 96 Speed

Starting MH4U again in 2021 and your channel also the first one I come back to :)

Jumping into the 3DS library as the Switch games are so expensive and I need a real primer.
Saved for later!
I don't know ANYTHING about glaive weapons but if i ever feel the need to learn this is what I'll use as a guide ;D
damn right about Cathar, best music in 4U
u said wind focus 3:15 man, also why are those 5 the best 5? the rath one is like the kushala but fire is that a huge difference?
im reeeally glad to know I've messed up real good with all my elemental glaives
I never realized how much damn materials you need to upgrading this thing all at once, I had to stop midway during the upgrade phase to collect mega demondrugs and demonpills it took forever, and that was only for one glaive!! I have four I need to make lmao
For a weapon that looks like it's supposed to be full of customization options, it sucks that this video makes it seem like you have no options.
Extract extend is the best but nobody is telling you that it's your only option. Extract efficacy L is nice too if you want to be overpowered for a short time.

It's like saying Blue sharpness weapons are fine in late G Rank. Yeah, you can use them, but Purple ones are just flat out better every time. Those other kinsects are only useful for novelty or super specialized circumstances.
Sethbeastalan I've had good success and alot of fun with a kinsect focused gameplan and glavie.
That's pretty much what a "meta game" is: The most optimal way to play a game. What grinds my gears is when people say "OH FUCK ALL THAT, I LIKE TO PLAY *MY* GAMES FOR FUN!" because it is as if they are implying that grinding for mixed and matched equipment and acquiring very potent skills in order to kill a monster quicker than the norm is boring, yet wearing matching armor sets only to look cool or thinking the game ends at low/high rank is fun. There's nothing wrong with playing a game at a "casual" level, but when you consider people like them as the reason for the dip in the quality of modern gaming then that is when people who actually know how to invest time into something they love need to speak up.
***** You know you can be serious and competitive and also have fun, they don't need to be apart like most people try to split them as such.
What if someone was crazy enough to farm ++ Nectar and use it instead of the Wycoon purchasable + ones, would we be hitting the same result or do they really only matter at the end once you do have the bug set?
Jesus you have improved a lot in 5 years
What monster gives the Anubis Glaive?
Also is the Fatalis Glaive at you can see at 1:33 the Crimson Fatalis Glaive or the Regular Fatalis Glave?
Hint: Don't use any of the elemental nectars! Not only do they only give 1 to the important stat, but you will never be attacking with the kinsect except to get juiced, making them completely useless filler that you could just sell.
Finally gonna try IG after owning the game for 5 years, this will come in handy
I don't know about you guys, but having used melfs kinsect guide from the very beginning of the game for my IGs, i didn't have any problems using a very slow bug

It just infuriates me that people like us dedicate time and effort to make these armor sets, and then there are people who just cheat there way up. It kinda ruins some of the fun of mh imo because of the satisfaction that comes with completing a set or defeating a difficult quest.
Boot em!
Why would you even bother hacking an Auto Guard talisman?
You should just kick them because most hackers don't know how to hunt properly.
Same thing happened to me, guy had full White Fatalis set cause of action replay, load of bull.
Who cares. It's a PvE game, it's not competitive. Let people play how they want to play.
You know, I seem to be able to do this blind.
At the end of it all, I always seem to find myself to get 96 in all stats before I get to level 10 and I can see the option of the bug I want.
THAT SAID however, I'm not fully funded at the moment so when the time comes and I can amass some funds, I may follow this step in order.
Dude I have powerhouse bugs with 60 speed and I just got used to it
i wrote down this recipe based on the video
power > LV3
power-type
speed > LV6
power-type
Speed > LV8
Stamina > LV10
Blue Type
Speed! 150
Power++! 114
correct?
Super helpful! So glad to see this guide in English!
i really love ur videos:) also you are doing a great job at narrating ^^
Gaijin there are 2 ways of getting the effect extender so it might be good to also show the second method

Thanks Gaijin! I'm using this guide to help make a Seltas IG that'll be useful down the road. That'll be my 'test glaive', before I start to make more IG's in this style C:
focusing on the kinsects own damage, the other of the last 2 types is better, as that one ignores the targets armor
For a long time I’ve been hoping Gaijin Hunter would make a tutorial on how to make the most powerful Elemental Kinsect. But I guess it’s not really gonna happen? Loved this video though, I’ve used it for all my glaives a few years ago.

the final dalamadur glaive would definitely make it on the list of top 5 too, 930 raw, something around 300 blast, no affinity, insane sharpness and 1 slot. just waiting for the dlc with g-rank dalamadur :)
To all people who play this game in german:
Kraft+-Nektar = Power+Nectar
Ausdauer+-Nektar = Stamina+Nectar
Geschwindgkt+Nkt = Speed+Nectar
Why i wrote that? They actually added a " - " at Stamina and Power Nectar after the " + ". But at Speed its still just " + ".
Which are the others insect glaive upgradable with this method? i've made the Hazy Caster (starting from Caster's Rod)
Hi! The description says 114 power and "60" stamina and 150 speed, Is that a typo for the 60 stamina?
Thanks for all of the great videos gaijin hunter! They helped me a bunch all the time! :)
9:04, a timestamp for those that are going by Melf's method.
What happens if you make a mistake?
Because it happened to me with the Gore glaive and I don't know what I have to do...
Love this lil guy! Any chance you will make a video for the Caravaneer's Challenge? :P
Totally confused, I've tried twice now to get this kinsect on the brachy IG but it doesn't work. I somehow ended up with the gleambeatle.
I know everybody loves Effect Extender, but I'm kinda interested in the double essence one... but I have no idea how to get it....
+Iron Paladin Keep with the Balanced Kinsect and you'll get it.
I love the IG in 4U but in my opininion they improved the kinsects in GU, since you were technically locked to use one kinsect in 4U, in GU however you had this cool skills in other kinsects like the affinity bug or the termor res bug (which was the only way I was able to solo my first G Rank Jho and Rajang)
Love your guides/tutorials! They're very informative. I was wondering, could you do a guide on the whole VE Ticket system?? All I've learned from research online is that the colour of your guild card corresponds to amount of unique quests you've done and has something to do with unity level which gets you different level tickets (Bronze, silver, gold, cosmic, etc) But it was all SUPER confusing to me, I can't tell what colour my guild card is supposed to be and have no Idea how to get the higher tickets D: If you did a guide that would be amazing! If not I understand, just thought it might be a good Idea for people like me who are confused about that whole system.
Great videos man keep up all the awesome work
Damn, i miss good ol' times
I mean... The game's multiplayer is still pretty active
I play MH4U daily lol
The one thing I can't find mentioned anywhere is can I start this with ANY IG? The only one I have available to me is the Bone Staff and I don't want to start putting in Nectars if it's going to screw it up in the end. Someone please answer!
The one thing I don't understand is: how do we know at what point the weapon upgrade paths intersect with the kinsect levels? For example, how do I know before starting that a lv 10 kinsect will occur during Needle Vine or Paralyzing Vine? Also are there any IG upgrade families that can reach a lv10 kinsect before G2 materials are required?
But what if, by some unholy desire summoning magic, we have enough ++ Nectars to do this using them alone? What kinds of numbers would we be talking?
New player here, using the IG. I was wondering why you wouldn't use the stat++ nectars? Since they only reduce all the elements, and not the stats you are actually interested in.
Can you make a video for the other Super Kinsects? I made a brach glaive as a speed since I wasn't in G rank yet but I don't want to get rid if it. I would just like to make the Speed + Stamina Kinsect.
so... what about relic glaives, they start with weird leveled bugs, for example i got a nice metal mauler with purple sharpness with sharpness+1 with defense and affinity and solid attack with a +4 to edgemaster, but the kinsect started at level 5... not sure what nectars to use from there...
GAJIN HUNTER SPEAKS, OH MY! thanks for the guide mate, helps more than you know :-D
Useful as always buddy :D
You've really helped me with the guide :D
Why aren't any element Nectars used in this process? For example the "Power+ Nectar: Fire" Adds Power +2/Fire +! and the minus to Speed doesn't matter at this point.
I'd like to see you showcase some of the other 'final upgrade' kinsects and how to get them.
now that we know the bug name that we need to get, makes it that much easier. power type and 96 in each by lvl 10.
im wondering, WTF is the COL column when you look at equipment (under armor)(big circle with smaller circles around it) and what does it do/how do you get it? i believe by weapon its the honing of the weapon. idk about armor. thanks!
Hmm... how would I go about upgrading an IG I got from a Teo guild quest? It's called Metal Mauler and its bug is Ladytarge currently at Lv 4. I haven't touched it at all yet, so it has 60 power and speed, but 102 stamina....
i noticed that the power ++ and stamina ++ nectars don't have negatives in the other base stats beside elements. in that case if you farmed up a shitload of them from expeditions would you be able to make a kinsect with even better stats or is that wishfull thinking? i realise it would also take a shitload of effort
Can someone explain to me what are the various benefits of the 5 glaives recommended, especially when compared to other glaives which give either similar effects or damage?
Could you go over what the gore mgala amror does/how is it special because when i fight it starts glowing red and i haven't been able to find a reason why
Why is the brachy glaive on your list? sure it has better sharpness then hellruin overall, but less affinity/slots/blast is eh, and if you dont use sharpness+1 the dala glaive seems the best with its massive white (though you cant finish it yet)
I'll be leveling up the Anubis IG but what bug names am I looking for, there are multiple bugs?
@gaijin hunter . can i use method 1 for every(only going to make the top 5 glaives) kinsect??:o
Can u make a video of the set you wear for the glaive?
hey if i could get some help it be nice i did what you say to do in the video with the dios glaive but now im about to upgrade it to the lightbreak press and dont know witch one of the two kinsects to choose, plus right now my power is at 114, 96 stamina and 96 speed
Gaijin's a legend.
So this guide helped a lot but I was wondering does this set up work for all glaves ever para ones ?
at what point can i use ++ nectars instead of + nectars?
The kinsect menus were so confusing to me since it was so new and unlike MH to me. But i dont know if they should make them more easy to the eyes, keep them as they are, or make them more confusing, since part of the appeal of MH is the clunky-ness?
Yo. Love your videos. Can u make a top 5 list of your favourite insect glaive plz.
Not sure which glaive to use personally. I understand different glaivre elements for different hunts, but which one would u recommend for a '1 glaive for all fights'.
Thx keep up good work.
thanks a lot, I've got a question, is the Kinsect Staff you make out of the gore magala any good? I mean completly upgraded, like in this guide
Someone help please! I'm making the Anubis Glaive! And I'm at level 10 so I can make Lady Tower, but my kinsect only has 105 in power. In Gaijins video his glaive has 114 at level 10. Is this because kushala is a cutting type and impact types just have less power? Or did I mess up somewhere?
This guide really helped a lot. Thanks
I got Bilbobrix without even LOOKING at this tutorial. I didn't even know he was the ultimate! Got lucky I guess...
Hi gaijin hunter , I have another question about the final upgrades though. Is there a reason why it's not needed to use Speed++ at level 11? I thought since it's the end game you can use Speed++ to reach 150 faster, and thus have more Power with Power++.
Am I missing something here?
I have a bunch of stamina++ nectars in my inventory. Can I just use those where I would normally use a stamina+? Sorry I don't fully understand the IG leveling mechanics.
Your Recipe List at the end is missing 5 Monster Essence.
I was nevertheless able to make a Hazy caster with EE and 150 Speed in one shot. Thanks!
why is low speed considered unusable? doesnt seem that bad to me...though I kinda get my essence point blank so the bug doesnt have far to travel anyway.
Does anyone have tips for getting the queen seltas' crescent thing off her tail? I need it for a dual blade upgrade and I cant seem to find a good way to break her tail :/ and all the other ways to get it are like 7% no one will probably respond but please if you have any help for knocking it's tail off with a dual blade please tell me :)
Gaijin hunter, do you know anything about the relation between the RNG for relic weapons and guild quest level? I really wanna know because it's clear higher levels get better results, but also, would there be a big difference between a level 140 ruby basarios vs a level 140 apex jho and apex rajang or something else really tough?
Hi , I mistaked in the part use +3 energy and then +5 speed without upgrade, can I have 150 speed if I continue upgrading exactly? I think at the end you can use speed+ the way you need yo reach 150 no?
