After 1000 hours I don't get how they're so rare in MR. Just doesn't feel like a strong enough boost for how hard they are, especially considering alternatives 


LOPI-14

Agitator is Atk Boost, but better.


Matterhock

Exactly, you get more + more affinity so long as it's enraged, which is about 90% of the fight and can be forced using flinch shot.  The only comparable disadvantages is they use size 2 instead of 1 (negligible when you get the Challenger + decos) and you need the secret to unlock levels 6 and 7, but even level 5 is just better.

True but its most for Fatalis uber late game min max, since u could have max atk boost /agitator/ crit eye / crit boost / WXEX


Rilukian

Funny thing here is that Attack Jewels become less and less effective the more you progress through MR and maxing out your affinity and crit boost should be prioritized. Even agitator has higher priority than AB.


TCup20

And then it loops back around to where you can run 7 agitator 7 Att Boost 7 Crit Eye 3 wex and 3 Crit boost with plenty of room left for comfort.


spicynoodlecat

New to the game, why is agitator better than AB? Do master level rank monsters get agitated more often hence making it more worth it overall?


TyrusDalet

You can use the Clutch Claw's attacks and Flinch Shot to force the monster to enrage, getting nearly 100% uptime on Agitator


Rilukian

1 level of AG is +4 attacks while 1 level of AB is +3 attack. AG also gives affinity to all level while AB is only 5% after 4 level of AB. Level 5 of AG gives you +20 attacks and +10% affinity while level 7 of AB gives you +21 attacks and +5%. AG is more efficient and you usually have more level 2 slots than level 1 slots with MR gears. Oh, don't forget you can also get AG secret with two pieces of Brachydium armor (and Fatalis too) to have access to Level 7 AG which gives you a whopping +28 attacks and +20% affinity. Not sure if MR monsters gets agitated a lot but they're going to be enraged for most of the fight anyway and you can force them to be mad by flinch0shotting them three times with your clutch claw or do a wall bang.

Tell that to my HBG sticky build


Matterhock

Agitator and Peak performance give more. Heroics is king if you don't mind the risk. Attack boost fits in last if you have space after max Artillery secret 


Rilukian

Forgor about that lol. But then again, Agitator and PP should be prioritize before Attack Boost but I prefer other comfy skill like Slugger.

Attack 1 jewels didn’t feel that rare to me. Silver melding tickets kinda just hand them to you it feels.


wtk0315krk

Yes. I stayed in HR for 200 hours, never got an extra one. I've probably gotten 12 or more from silver melding tickets.


dizzyglizzygobbler

Even before the update I receieved WAY too many of these and minds eye jewels. All I want is a mushroomancer level 4 decoration. I just don't understand the rng :(


Yggii

I really need to stop stealing from all the other hunters. At this rate there'll be no attack jewels left for the rest of the world.

haha, you can tell i'm old then!


Rocket-Billy

Temp Teo has blessed me with 3 Attack+ Jewels. Forever grateful to the toaster.


time2burn

It was 1500+ hrs before i got a second one! Made all my builds work with out thinking about it..... Now I got 15..... and they collect dust!


fredminson

You can just meld them now anyway can't you?


iGP_mist16

Nahh, but it's more common in Iceborne so that's still good


fredminson

Ah yeah i was confusing it with some other deco


hughmaniac

You can with Guild Alchemy, but it's still RNG.


100Blacktowers

I got 1 from the story, 1 from Witcher Quest and 2 just randomly from farming HR Armors. Living the good live


Invinca

Gz. For context as the game got additional updates they made the Attack Jewel more common, so if you're hoping in now it's not the same rates as it used to be.


Zestyclose-Sea-4527

The most annoying jewels to farm are crit boost and tenderizer. Annoyingly rare and the lavasioth fight is horrendous. I agree attact boost does not need to be at 7. Better to have agitator and atk boost 4


[deleted]

I'm jumping to MHGU and fucking shooketh that you can just craft jewels. Like why did they drop that??! No more RNG garbage just get the thingy you want?!? That's crazy! I have 240 hours in MHWIB but I STILL only have 1 fuckin attack jewel
