What you can probably get to help damage is Handicraft. Increases your weapon's sharpness, you actually have 1pt from damascus. Try getting Kushala chest, possible death stench legs(but you'd lose the capacity thing, not sure how useful that is though with how quick reloading is on gunlance). With how fast sharpness depletes on gunlances when shelling, I think getting 5 handicraft might be necessary, although I think you want wide for shelling more, or long if you want to only shell with charged shots but then you also need focus, like kushala alpha which has 2handicraft+1focus and death stench gloves for +2focus is good for that setup. Another thing that might be worth is speed sharpening, maybe not on gear but as decorations. Or you can fish some whetscale fish, they're consumables that act as a full speed sharpening, only does the sharpening animation once and you're ready.
For tempered, you can already do tempered threat lvl 1 and 2(assuming you did the double bazelgueuse quest). Lvl 2 is good to farm decorations in if that's not what you've been doing. HR 49 is when you unlock threat lvl 3 aka elder dragons.

I was getting absolutely fucked on RNG. Brought my friend in and we got gold on a couple and he was getting like 2 coins, and I was getting 0.
On a similar note, Arena is pretty fun for learning different weapons without wasting mats. I think I might get me a set of SNS.
Anyone get dropped after patch or have any multiplayer issues?

Was watching a streamer and I noticed something I had not seen before. On his health bar there were 2 small arrows (or chevrons), one on top pointing down, and one on bottom pointing up, they were persistent regardless of his health or mantle, and they were not the normal buff/debuff icons you normally see. It was as if they were marking a threshold, but I never saw his health drop below them.

The problem with arena for testing is the gear they give you is really, really, really bad. Like fucking godawful tier of shit. So it's not really that useful. You can easily just craft metal or bone weapons for each weapon type, not the ones that require monster drops but the generic metal/bone lines(top ones). They don't upgrade to top tier weapons or anything but they also cost jackshit to make, just need to gather a bit, or not at all if you just do mining/gathering bounties often. Some of them you can also downgrade all the way back and shit or you can downgrade the metal one to just before the nergigante path if you like the weapon since nergi weapons tend to be good for most builds. And you can easily test like this, doing normal HR or even tempered, with a generic attack/weakness exploit/handicraft armor build(replace handicraft with pierce/spread/normal/bow charge etc for ranged weapons obv). You only lose like 50k per weapon you craft, and money is pretty easy to come by at high level anyway.

I love my charge blade but always planned on trying out bow, and want to avoid losing any jewels that I might need in the future.I'm currently saving the following jewels for Charge Blade:
Elementless Jewel
Tenderizer Jewel
Attack Jewel
Magazine Jewel
Vitality
Ear Plugs
Artillery Jewel
Focus Jewel
Guard Jewel
In addition to those, I'm saving:
Drain Jewel
Mighty Bow Jewel
Expert Jewel
Spread Jewel
Physique Jewel
Anything else really valuable and hard to get that I should be saving?

Tbh you probably should be keeping all jewels just in case of, other than the ones you have enough copy to max already. For example if you have 4 miasma jewels, since you can only ever get 3 levels, you can get rid of the 4th one. But in this specific example, these are useful for arch tempered vaal hazak(and tempered vaal hazak too really). There's a lot of shit like that that might not be useful, until it is. And if you end up not having them because you threw them into the melder to get some random garbage you probably don't need either, you'll regret it.
I guess the non combat stuff you could throw away if you don't care, geologist, botanist etc. You can generally make a gathering set without decorations anyway. You could also meld the resist and attack elem jewels, because you can meld for these specifically, although some of them are pretty useful for arch tempered elders or for doing elem builds(which bow does a lot). There are some that are pretty shitty too like wind pressure one since it doesn't work on the one boss you'd want it to work, kushala(need hunting horn buff or the 3pc kushala set for him), evade window I don't think I've ever seen used, resentment looks pretty garbage and so on, but I'm still keeping them for now.

what Pyros said. Just note if you elemental bow you will need best of each type of water, fire, ice, lightning. Elementaless bow builds are viable but need very specific/rare decos. Look into coil bender bow if that interests you.- 1

The fully upgraded Bone-line Bow isn't terrible at all, especially if your build has free element easily obtained, the only drawback is the element is Water.

Someone did math and the Princess Arrow III was a pretty close second to Cera, and a lot easier to build / augment. I'm still not quite sold on "the higher max element is always better", specifically for Ice, the Kushala bow is just so much more versatile.yeah shit went down, GG everyone.

So is the basic advice to collect a full set (ex: 3x blast resistance, 1x Satiated) for basically all the decorations:yeah shit went down, GG everyone.

Pretty sure elemental spam bow is the best dps with our current monsters, though I do have a elementless dragon piercer partbreaker set.
With elemental bows you'll wanna find around 3 elemental decorations for that specific damage for each bow to make it optimal. Obviously it works without but you won't get max benefit until you get those decorations.

Pretty sure Triple threat will mostly give you shit gems though. I think the best/fastest/easiest way to get good decos, unless you're amazing, fully geared, or getting carried is to just run tier 2 tempered monsters.
Definitely gonna spam Snow & Cherry Blossoms (P Rathian and Legiana) though for HR.
