Monster Hunter: World

I wonder if they'll release the EXPANSION with more monsters than the core game, that'd be pretty wild. It's nice though it'll make endgame a lot more fun with ~60 monsters and shit. There's already at least one major monster they haven't talked about based on the achievements and I assume there's a few variants/subspecies still and Zinogre is supposedly more or less going to be a thing.

Just suck for the delay since no way I pick it up on PS4, but I'm looking forward to that release for sure.

Will all the events, like Behemoth, KT and the gem drop events, disappear once this appreciation weekend ends since that is the last one? Or will they remain?

Events will disapear. They run a limited selection of events all the time. Event Quests | Monster Hunter: World CAPCOM shows the next 2 weeks or so, that's the PC version console is probably different. You can see once the week ends, most events end also, but a few will keep going for a week, then the week afer they change to other stuff and rotate. They only have everything up during seasonal events(or in this case the special pre expansion all seasonal events in a row stuff).

So I just started this last week and am about to fight Anjanath. I went dual blades cause I enjoy the fast paced combat. Pretty sure I messed up a bit and put alot of my points into the leather armor (got them all to lvl 4). While doing some research I found bone armor to be the go to beginning armor. My question is this, should I hold off till I can get something better or go ahead and make the bone armor and dump my armor points into them? I believe I have 6 armor points atm.

Honestly low lvl armor kinda doesn't matter. You could just switch to bone for the better skills, or keep leather, it won't make a big difference. Armor is mostly about the skills on it, and in the late game you do want to upgrade them so you don't get splattered by tempered monsters, but until then honestly doesn't matter that much, I leveled to HR without upgrading anything iirc or only slightly upgrading. That said, low level upgrade stone things are also completely fucking worthless later on(they add new versions of stones as you level, and the amount of upgrade points they give is exponentially bigger, like the low lvl ones are 1 or 2 points or whatever and the HR ones give say 20points per stone, while items require several of them, so your LR stones basically don't do anything).

Bone is recommended because iirc it has constitution and attack on some pieces, which are nice stats to have in general, but again not a big deal, the whole armor selection stuff doesn't really kick in until HR and when you start having decorations and can actually stack skills high enough to see an impact, and even in early HR you don't have enough armor choice to really make good shit(although at this point you should probably switch to HR bone since some pieces stay relevant for a long time and it's super fast to farm since you just run around and collect bones), it's more near the end when you can make some of the elder dragons armor and shit.

I started with Dual blades too, played all of LR with them, they're a nice simple weapon to start with, fast so you get plenty of time to dodge stuff, does good sustained damage, is pretty fun to play too. People often recommend sword and shield as a starting weap but I think DB is kinda easier to start with.

Also Anjanath might fuck your shit up, it's the first monster that can actually one shot you with certain moves. Personally it's when I really started liking the game, the shit before was a bit of a snoozefest where I barely needed to even use a potion but Anjanath I had to try a couple of times iirc, cause the first time he shit on me. Not crazy difficult but a fair jump in difficulty compared to shit before. If you have a full upgraded armor you might actually not take as much dmg though, just not sure what's the resists on leather armor like.

Temporal is getting nerfed heavily however, so not sure how important it'll be really. It lasts 100seconds now, and everytime you dodge, it removes 20secs from the duration. So in the best case you can only dodge 5times with it, and every 20secs you "lose" a charge. It'll only really be good as a backup to dodging properly in case you fuck up, rather than the "oh I guess I'll just mash damage combos and not care about anything else" system it gives you now. I'd still get it cause it's a mantle though, same for the Assassin's Hood from the events running atm, probably won't be super useful but having it is better than not.

Personally I'd say getting all the Kaiser gamma armor is probably the most important QoL for IB. I think Drachen will be faded out once you start getting some of the new pieces of gear, but you'll probably be able to keep 3pc Kaiser for Master's Touch longer. Same for guns, getting Xeno gamma set to keep that 3pc bonus for as long as possible. I'm sure they'll have equivalents to farm in MR, but until you can farm these you want to keep the old sets.

Past that farming gold and decos is still gonna be relevant I think.

Anyway personally I'm done with events and I'm farming achievements atm since nothing better to do and I figured I should do it during events. I got every crowns for Ancient Forest, Wildspire Wastes, Elder Recess and Rotten Vale now(got 2-3 everyday running them once each and then focused on specific monsters when I only had one left). Coral is left with 2 crowns I'll be doing that today and then "all" that's left is black diablos, vaal and kirin. These don't have quests though so we'll see, hoping I get kinda lucky. I still need to do 100 multiplayer games too though, not too sure how many I got, probably like 30 or 40 from KT but barely any outside that so I've been doing random shit recently. Oh and I need 50 guild cards which is gonna suck too.
