Does anyone have any good sword and shield builds send screenshots in comments if ye do thanks

Is someone active player with saved crowns to help me finish the trophy play ?

So to keep it quick. I was busy when the Festival of Accord: Lumenhymn tickets were available and I didn’t get a chance to obtain any. However I really want the Ceremonial outfit because it looks really cool but it isn’t apparently going to be available till the end of the year. So I was looking at some mods so I could obtain them I have a question about it.

So we all know wilds is a bit more strict about mods especially compared to other Monhun games. However I am a mainly solo player and I only play online with friends every now and again. I know Capcom is mostly against obtaining paid content/unreleased event stuff but since the Lumenhymn event isn’t currently available does it still count?? I just don’t wanna get my few hundred hour save banned. Also if I mod them in can I still get the outfit even if the event isn’t around? If you have done this yourself or know the answer I’d love to know tysm!

P.S sorry if this isn’t the place to post this!

One of my favourite weapon types both Bowguns were so fun in World but as a new Wilds player they felt off. After looking into it and searching old posts about it, I see a lot of people have the same complaint: All the versatility, variety, customization is gone from these weapons. I've seen they deal top notch damage but I'm not into competitive side of things so doesn't really matter for me. They are incredibly boring now. I'll just use bow as a subsitute (which feels amazing btw)

Since I don't know the series past, did they ever do something like this before? Changing/reworking weapons because of complaints? How likely they are to do that, for example in an upcoming DLC?

So, so far I've done a lot of the content leading up to omega and mostly solo as well and without upgrading armor ever. Currently running some Ray Dau gamma armor, a few decent decorations and Shatterseal Drakesnest.

I went at omega solo a few times and got pretty far but decided to try multi-player instead since that's what it's designed for? I think?

Anyway, frankly, I'm getting my ass kicked. Is this the point in the game where I should start upgrading armor? What about weapons? Is Shatterseal good enough here? The fight takes absolutely forever even when prioritizing dps, like rotating SCS and Perforate over and over again at it's head when inside the blue shield thingy... WITH mega demondrug AND demon powder. And even with mega armorskin and adamant seed I'm getting 2 or 3 shot by everything.

Is it just supposed to be this tough or am I missing something here? I'm HR 80 or so.

Personally I wish they would expand on the underwater aspect that one could experience in the lagiacrus fights to be something that is possible for an entire section of a map of instead of the existing place that force you on a set path having mh world be my first game with the coral highlands being one of my favorite areas I would love for a truely underwater region or section come the dlc and I believe it should be easier for the devs then before with the previous underwater game. What is everyone opinion on this?
