This.
It’s still disappointing to see limited weapon availability for Arena Quests, particularly in regard to weapon crafting stuffs (as a solo-weapon player).
IMO, it should be a standard thing to have all weapons available for all Arena Quests, and not just a limited selection.
I guess the saving grace is that Arena records/stats have their own section on the Guild Card and don’t affect the overall weapon usage records/stats.
It’s like solo-Bow stuffs in MH Gen all over again, lol.
SFV save gives you early access to the arena quest. Everyone else gets access to the quest at a later date I think.
Ah, figures.
Fuck I’ve wasted over an hour of my life on this and I still only have 3 tickets. How the heck are people posting 3 minute times on this?
all this effort for a crappy armor set you can’t even skin, c’mon Capcom.
Stream monster and I got a sub 3 using Great Sword and Dual Blades. Pretty much chained a lot of our CC together and wailed on it. Getting lucky on monster AI helps too.
Also, after looking at people figuring out some maths, it’s hilariously ironic that Jagras Hacker III is the best Greatsword in the game. 
I just realized something after watching a discussion video on Youtube about the game.
Monster Hunter World is pretty much the "Jurassic Park" game we always wanted!!!
… except dinosaurs have special abilities and there’s dragons!!
How so?
Three augmentation slots and two level three decoration slots open up a lot of options in terms of optimization. For augmentations, you go two damage, one affinity. Since Jagras Hacker can’t get white sharpness, you can focus on Attack Up instead of Handicraft (like for Vaal GS), Weakness Exploit, Crit Boost, and other luxury skills like Maximum Might or Agitator. If you still really like Focus, you can fit that in there too.
Edit: Reddit thread about min/maxing Great Swords
Best straight to point Dual Swords progression guide:
Waiting for a progression guide for the bow guns. but for now I’m sticking with ore path for the Rambo gun aka the standard (HBG), and Jargas Blitz for the Light Bow Gun
There’s a thread on reddit for it.
The only thing I (and some other players) disagree with the guide on is his downplaying of the shield mod.
Got my first L hand to me by the T-rex!!
Going to try again with the LBG.
Update:
Won the run back with help from the environment, and Rathalos delivering the aerial bodyslam special.
Kitchen tutorial.
Ive neglected forging and upgrading new armor. After i finished dealing big damage, I’ve started to run away from fights to eat after taking a few hits and they have to chase me across the map.
Now they know how it feels. How does it feel, monsters?
And it’s not like they can sleepbomb me, lol.
Got beat hard by Kushala. Anything I need to know other than to bring lots of flash pods?
Elder Seal is helpful
Poison it to get rid of its Wind.
Use Thunder or Dragon, and aim for its face.
A note about arena quests, the reason they take so long is because they are always scaled for 2 people so they have way more health than normal if you are soloing.
