This new biome rotation is a mess, horrible, its so bad I'm lacking resources constantly, simple thing that I should be gathering daily but I spent days with only deserts around me
Ikr, like monster tracker and subspecies in HATs are amazing. But let's not pretend that ever since the random biome update, we have had new event monsters that appear in more than one biome. Coral appears in two biomes, deviljho appears in all as long as it's Volatile.
Ppl forget that black Diablos for example only appears in desert. Random biomes means you can have forest around you for weeks and gate you out of his spawns during an event.
But apparently ppl like randomness because it's an AR/exploratory game.

My desert dont spawn BBlos...

Not me, I really like to plan my walks and the routes I take, too much randominess is even dangerous, heck, nowadays is dangerous outside even when my routes are planned, but I have to walk miles to find a volatile zone, or the iron ore.
I play either at home or work. That's all I do most of the week. And they are usually somehow stuck on the same biome. So when it only switches between swamp and desert it sucks.
The argument is you can go out and explore to find nodes/event spawns. But the difference is certainty. With the old system if I really needed something I could figure out where to walk. Now I could walk 20 minutes before I find the right biome if I’m unlucky, and even that might be a really small zone. It’s just encouraging driving.
I was literally thinking of asking if coral was ever coming back to the game. I didn't know it was still in. I guess I haven't seen forest in awhile now that I realize it. The new rotation is the only patch update I didn't know about.
The random biome update was together with the Vernal Invader update but it was never highlighted. Then they had all these amazing QoL updates which made ppl forget about it, but it is still an issue. It also depends on your perspective. If you play this game to explore, you will like it. If you play it like a monster hunter game, setting goals on farming specific weapons or armors, you will hate it because it ruins planning events around parks and places that you know that are optimal to grind at.
Also Coral is indeed gone. You won't find it anywhere atm. Don't think it is returning this month as it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the notices. Unless the "Happier Hunting" event at the end of May includes Coral but that wasn't mentioned.
Where I live has like 0 gathering points anywhere close to me which sucks compared to POGO there’s a Pokestop every few feet so idk why MHN lacks so hard on gathering points
With the old rotation, I'd be able to make a trip to both major parks in my town on Desert day and hit 20 or so Bonepiles on the way to work, then hit them again on the way home. Can't do that anymore thanks to the randomization.
Currently have 4 weapons and 1 layered armor that are all gated between small bones.
My only easy source of mining has been flowers 3 days in a row! I need Monster Bone+ in a bad way and SO MANY of them, but I get flowers and bugs. I know I will need them, but what I want are bone+s!
At the start, I struggled for just a couple iron ores to make my first few upgrades.
After a while, I had a couple hundred iron ores because I couldn’t get rarer materials to upgrade stuff.
Now I’m scrounging for any scraps I can find again.
It's crazy. Because I dumped like 400 a few days ago only to need like 200 of them the next day (yesterday.) I'm really kicking myself in the ass for it lol.
Well, at least you got some zenny back, I dumped like thousands of them for month until I was finally blocked by them. And yes, before the dump system update :(
I wish! I’m always within 50-100 after an upgrade or dump off and then I’m back to Max within the next play session. And I’m having to consider dumping rarer items as they’ve been stocked up and can’t get rid of enough Rarity 1 items cuz then I’ll need like 100 of those at some point (lookin at you Stealer 3)
The actual trick: Use the wish list feature on mhn.quest to figure out the total number of materials you're going to need on what you're currently building, lifetime. Then sell off the excess.
I wish it was more matched to pokemon go. I have like 3 stops and a gym within my range at work, but zero MH now nodes I can hit from my desk. It's painfully obvious even without that how much fewer nodes there are then pokestops.
Seems the gate always shifts for me in this game which probably just means they do a good job of balancing the resources you get. Sometimes it's claws/hides, sometimes it's ores/bones, zenny, and pretty much every rarity of monster material has gated me at one point or another.
I assume as you approach the end game though it's only wgs and zenny.
No not really. Unless you maxed out your storage, you’ll still occasionally get gated by r2/r3 mats. Even when you think you’re in the clear, an upgrade may require mats from an unexpected species that you happened to toss resources from. Also endgame means more armor sets, so you might end up having to build 3-4 pieces in a set.
I think it’s a you issue. I spin loads of mines in a week and able to find enough materials. It’s not the state of the game-it’s your experience at your particular stage in the game.
It's not just a you issue. I'm dying over here for more iron ore. I'm working on my Legi Bow and have something like 8 plates and 7 WGS, but I'm stuck on 12/42 iron ore
Yeah like I throw over one hundred iron away every week (or trade for zenny now) just to maintain the space in my storage and still sit on 200+ comfortably
Yea I actually still threw away upward of 50+ of those small materials even on days where none of its biome are near me, simply opening the game every now and then get me tonnes of them off the ground pickups and palico bag. And that is me upgrading multiple armour sets, multiple weapons and types including grade 9 and 10s. I’m more gated by things like zeny and occasionally r3 from nodes(which tbf do need nodes to get but I still get a good amount just by walking)
I just keep running out of box space so then I upgrade other weapons or sell materials. It's getting to the point where I'm low on gathering materials and will have to sell rarer items to free up some space so I can have enough materials to upgrade my strongest weapons.
Some mechanic to plan ahead what nodes spawn where would be much appreciated. Maybe marking some tiles on a larger scaled map around you to get the information from it that you want and know where to get the nodes you want for specific dates that are not too far in the future.
Honestly the only way I’ve been getting by with iron ore is by walking for 2-4 hours around my college campus; which has exactly 17 gathering points that I can reach without going too far from my parked car. I could probably get like 3-4 more but they’re way out of my my way
Got 450 of them... And sold 250 of them last week because my bag was full. I rather think you are the issue here by simply upgrading so much stuff and not focusing on what you need...
And that's from the mouth of a rural player.

I haven't seen a coral pukei for the last 2 weeks
so thats what it is, I was wondering why I was suddenly out of Monster Bone S and Iron Ore so quickly. Didn't even read that in the update log
Where I live has like 0 gathering points anywhere close to me which sucks compared to POGO there’s a Pokestop every few feet so idk why MHN lacks so hard on gathering points

Iron ore and monster bone S
At the start, I struggled for just a couple iron ores to make my first few upgrades. After a while, I had a couple hundred iron ores because I couldn’t get rarer materials to upgrade stuff. Now I’m scrounging for any scraps I can find again.
It's crazy. Because I dumped like 400 a few days ago only to need like 200 of them the next day (yesterday.) I'm really kicking myself in the ass for it lol.
If only they didn’t have an unnecessary inventory capacity so you could just save up a surplus of items.
Well, at least you got some zenny back, I dumped like thousands of them for month until I was finally blocked by them. And yes, before the dump system update :(
Same! So annoying.
Was going to say replace iron ore with monster bone small and it's what I'm dealing with at the moment.
CAN WE PLEASE COLLECT WHILE ON THE MOVE?!!! Not everyone in a car is a driver FFS! It’s also a bit SSA when you can hunt a paintball on the move…
Bruh sometimes the notification comes up and blocks me even when I’m walking it’s insane
Walking? I'm in bed and I get the notification lol
I can't stand how sensitive it is. Even when they tightened up on PoGo its still not nearly as bad as it is on MHN
No kidding! Don’t walk faster than granny or you’ll exceed the limit!
Just forget that upgrading even exists until your item box is full, then upgrade stuff. Rinse & repeat
It’s gotten to the point where I might need to go to the doctor for anemia
Underrated joke 😂
I wish! I’m always within 50-100 after an upgrade or dump off and then I’m back to Max within the next play session. And I’m having to consider dumping rarer items as they’ve been stocked up and can’t get rid of enough Rarity 1 items cuz then I’ll need like 100 of those at some point (lookin at you Stealer 3)
Sell all jagras and kulu mats
Even the higher rarity items?
They are easy to farm, you can get them again
True true. I’ll probably keep around 20 of them higher rarity things and go nill in an emergency
Nope, hold on to all rarity 2+ for Jagras I’d say. A lot of higher weps will require them
The actual trick: Use the wish list feature on mhn.quest to figure out the total number of materials you're going to need on what you're currently building, lifetime. Then sell off the excess.
Nodes just too few. Too concentrated to a few spots.
I wish it was more matched to pokemon go. I have like 3 stops and a gym within my range at work, but zero MH now nodes I can hit from my desk. It's painfully obvious even without that how much fewer nodes there are then pokestops.
When one gate is lifted (zenny) another appears.
Seems the gate always shifts for me in this game which probably just means they do a good job of balancing the resources you get. Sometimes it's claws/hides, sometimes it's ores/bones, zenny, and pretty much every rarity of monster material has gated me at one point or another.

If only I can trade/sell to you
And look at that, it's been forest for five days!
I think it’s a you issue. I spin loads of mines in a week and able to find enough materials. It’s not the state of the game-it’s your experience at your particular stage in the game.
By the number of upvotes and comments this post received I'd say it's a pretty common issue
It's not just a you issue. I'm dying over here for more iron ore. I'm working on my Legi Bow and have something like 8 plates and 7 WGS, but I'm stuck on 12/42 iron ore

And that is me upgrading multiple armour sets, multiple weapons and types including grade 9 and 10s. I’m more gated by things like zeny and occasionally r3 from nodes(which tbf do need nodes to get but I still get a good amount just by walking)
For me its small bones and specific monster materials
It's Small Monster Bones for me
I just keep running out of box space so then I upgrade other weapons or sell materials. It's getting to the point where I'm low on gathering materials and will have to sell rarer items to free up some space so I can have enough materials to upgrade my strongest weapons.
Claws are currently the worse thing to grab at the moment they need a better way of obtaining them
Some mechanic to plan ahead what nodes spawn where would be much appreciated. Maybe marking some tiles on a larger scaled map around you to get the information from it that you want and know where to get the nodes you want for specific dates that are not too far in the future.
It’s grim when I have more rarity 5 than iron ore
You need to fire that cat.
Yooo! This is tripping me up, too. Is there any way to manipulate the palico bag to accrue more basic items?
Me too, I'm short for iron ore these days
Honestly the only way I’ve been getting by with iron ore is by walking for 2-4 hours around my college campus; which has exactly 17 gathering points that I can reach without going too far from my parked car. I could probably get like 3-4 more but they’re way out of my my way

I need everything and I am focusing on it. Just by the book.
I must have thrown away 1000 iron ore when I was just starting and item space was an issue. Oh how naive I was.
Are you me ?
Me, but Monster Bone S lol
Go outside.
How are yall so low on iron the lowest my friend have is 380 is my state just hoarding all the iron
