So I understand the advice about socketing resist jewels! I would love to.
But seeing as how I swapped platforms to play Iceborne, I am horribly and terribly decoration starved. I got some Blaze decos from sacrificing some to the Elder Melder but I literally don't even have 10 spare jewels to give up to get any of the other elemental decos.
What is the best way I can just farm a bunch of decorations in bulk? I don't particularly care for the quality of the jewels -- I just need lots!
Also curious when I unlock the Silver Ticket meld for decos?
I am only about HR 30 and MR 3, so I can't even do 'It's Name is Laviosioth' yet.
Can you do Greatest Jagras? He spits out a ton

Yay! I hit my first big wall in MR after Banbaro......... it's Rathalos.
so i spent a little while looking into this but it's impossible to tell from user reviews and reddit, how does this run on pc these days? i'm thinking about getting back in, and even though i played mhw on xbox one, i don't know that i can deal with them load times anymore. is the pc version ok? half the posts seem to say it's fine, and half say it's a burning car crash so i am having a tough time.
i have a 5 year oldish computer with i7 and a newer 2070 super gpu and it runs pretty well
had graphics crashing for about a day but none since patching, so i'd say the majority of my time spent playing had no issues
It runs mostly around 60 for me with middle-ish settings on an old i7-4790 and a much more limiting R7 260X, albeit in the 720p range because my good monitor broke.
Except for like a week where AMD cards crashed constantly on DX12 and ran horrifically (or maybe they always do) on DX11.

I put MHW on a SSD on the XB1X and the load times are pretty fast, if that’s an option for you

I realized that having all of the events being open is not normal, so I started to try them to see what they're like and that I had never done any before. I also needed decos pretty bad as I am a brand new player who has poured a TON of time into it, so my HR is fairly high.
I randomly picked The Greatest Jagras. Wow, he's big.
Wow, 35 decos?!

Got my PS4 save from just starting guiding lands back up to the armor loadout I had currently on PC, minus gold rath stuff. Still need some rank ups for the top end, I'm at 67 right now.
So what's a good MR hunting horn and gunlance for early MR? I've been meaning to try both with the new mechanics. I have most of the good KT weapons for both but not sure if I should work for like great jagras or banboro

I tore apart MR Velkhana and Teostra, no problem. Choppy choppy with my Glaive.
Black Diablos ended me. It feels like I need to be item heavy with her, just trap her repeatedly / screamer pods. She never stops attacking / digging it feels like.
Not a fan of that.

MR Tempered Black Diablos is possibly the worst fight in the game. I can only beat it with a fully shielded HBG, which I learned after I lost three or four times while using bow.
It's the only investigation I delete regardless of how many decos it has. All five? Don't care fuck off.
I decided to stop languishing in low MR waiting for my friends to diddle about crafting low MR armor, and so I blazed ahead from Barioth to post-Fulguring Anjanath. Finally starting to see some decent armor.
I hope to farm the Mighty Bow Jewel in the Lavasioth event quest but I think it cycles out in a day or two, so I dunno if I'll be able to!

"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
I used the Sforzando III for the longest time because I really like the song set and it is one of the few horns with Atk UP XL
Velkhana horn is decent too
There's an Event Quest Schedule link. Will list what's coming up in a 3 week window too. Now... this might be console only, because I know the PC version is still lagging behind. But I'm pretty sure that changes with this upcoming festival and everything will finally be on the same schedule.

and to memory, the upcoming festival kicks off tomorrow for PC and console, so yay!
Actually, it kicks off in a few hours, so double yay. Get ready to wrangle some Brachydioses, folks!
This is gonna seem off-topic for a second but bear with me...
The next Magic set is Ikoria, and it's basically "monster world" with a bunch of (literally) Godzilla-inspired critters rampaging through the countryside. Humans are decidedly not at the top of the food chain here, and survive mostly by banding together in bastions and fending off the kaiju as best they can. Some humans actively hunt them and take bits for trophies, weapons and armor.
Sound familiar?
Here's a passage from the tie-in ebook:
Sedra gestured sharply, and bright light flashed in front of the monster’s eyes, accompanied by a crack of thunder. The arcanist’s spell distracted the thing for a crucial half-second, enough time for Toothcracker to wind up and swing his maul overhand against its head. The huge weapon was simply a broken-off tooth from some much larger monster, lumpy and rough at one end and cracked at the other. It slammed into the dinosaur’s bony crest with a crunch, breaking off one of its horns and leaving it staggering. Its beak snapped wildly, forcing Toothcracker to take a hasty step back.
Flashbomb, bone Hammer lv3 charge, part break/stagger, dodge.
There are even an emerging subset of humans who can "bond" with monsters and team up with them (Ride On!).
The inspiration is definitely monsters first, but clearly someone at WotC has picked up a Greatsword in their time. The whole set hasn't been revealed yet but I'm looking forward to see if any Equipment further calls this out.

Unless you're looking at a different calendar (or are in a different timezone), it looks like the festival kicks off in a shade under 28.5 hours.

Festival wise, i have no idea.
If you're on PC though, Raging Dios's gear is a big shakeup - his 2 piece set bonus is incredibly strong, his armor is itself very good meaning fitting in the two piece is pretty easy for mix sets (The head piece has TWO FOUR SLOTS!), and you can now upgrade your Agitator +4 charm to Agitator +5.
His weapons are also generally very good - i know his Greatsword is very competitive to outright better than Safi's depending on build, for example (More blast, slightly less raw attack, still good sharpness, comes with a four slot and a 3 slot, which is very nice) - not to mention that it's already at max sharpness, so you dont need Handicraft in your build. Which is a Big Deal tm for freeing up slots. I'm ceartinly going to give using it a go - i suspect i may go back to the Safi blast GS (Simply because i dont run master's touch and i like having a pile of purple sharpness).
Also you can now upgrade your armor even further, which will allow you to play that much more loosely, which is real nice.
I have one more question before I grab this thing on PC. I was very, very far along on xbox one. Is it possible to speed up my way through the base world stuff, be it with increased drop rates or whatever, if most of what I want to do is the new stuff?

So are Gunlances the best weapon? Or just the greatest weapon?

Bone is a good starting horn and then Nyx (sleepytime paolumu horn) is very useful for early negate all ailments.
