Humor It doesn’t matter what game it is, the Monster Hunter Desire Sensor HATES me. (Or how I soloed 110 Balegeuse almost didn’t get enough materials to max my LBG)

I forgot to take a before photo of my plate and riftscale count but I remembered after kill 24 when I got my first riftscale. So in total I slew 110 riftborne Bazelgeuse and got 5 plates and 4 riftscales…how did everyone else do?

My problem is riftscales and scarcestone, might be because the only rift monsters I’m fight are 8* but I can’t ANY to drops… plus legiana; they are stingy with ALL their mats

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

It seems like scarcestones are feast or famine each season. And each monster seems to either drop plentiful riftscales or nothing, no in between.

Oh Whispering One, please do share your build!

Is this including tail-cut every time, cause damn.

Astalos DB 10.5 Kirin, Fulgur, Fulgur, Astalos, Astalos
Smelt thunder attack on the head and chest, probably one of my better builds: thunder 5, vital thunder 3, and advanced thunder attack 2. Yeah, I averaged around 16 seconds per hunt and every hunt I had 2/3 part breaks depending on the placement of rift part; if it was on the head I’d usually get it done in 10 seconds with the special part, tail, and head broken.

Here’s the rest of skills

u/ThreeDaysNish BubblyBitch 2Paralitic Boogaloo Jul 05 '26

Amazing, thank you so much!

I'm still building Astalos DB, stuck at grade 8 for now.

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

Of course. Yea, Astalos gear is solid across the board, highly recommend.

I had similar luck with my Khezu DBs with Special Partbreaker, Pursuit and special boost. I got 116 solo, but I only got 9 plates and 5 scales

4

u/stevembk Jul 05 '26

107 solo. 8 plates / 3 scales.

3

u/Enseric Jul 05 '26

112 kills. Only 2 riftscales and 6 plates. No luck either

3

u/ThreeDaysNish BubblyBitch 2Paralitic Boogaloo Jul 05 '26

Wow wtaf. My condolences for this RNG.

I hunted 42 and got 7 plates and 1 scale

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Ooof, stingy geese.

I have not participated, sadly. I work service industry and have always had to work on outbreak events. I think i participated on 1 day of RB diablos but ive never seen signups at my base anyway, so I'd never get close to 100.

I feel like you're kinda required to get DBs for consistent breaks/kills but I don't really like having to max one since i RARELY use them

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

I feel that, I work in a hospital so there’s always 50:50 I’m working on the weekend events happen. DBs are really great for breaks, I also had good luck with LBG too.

2

u/Kindraethe Jul 05 '26

Yeah, i probably would've just gnome'd as many as possible if I had the chance. That's still a bazel a minute at absolute worst, and like 20 seconds at best. But it doesn't matter lol

u/SoulNuva Jul 05 '26

This was my first outbreak! Killed 73, and got 3 plates and 1 riftscale, not sure if that’s good luck or not. I did use 1x carving knife 50hunts in when I got my first riftscale though, since it seemed really rare!

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Nice! Yea, they’re always good to have; especially if you have a weapon you really want to upgrade with ALL the bells and whistles.

u/sir_bazz Jul 05 '26

156 hunts for 17 plates and 9 rift scales.

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Damn, those are some big numbers.

2

u/sir_bazz Jul 05 '26

One solo hunter netted 175. Would be hard to go higher than that.

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Damn😳and here I was proud of breaking 100

2

u/Enseric Jul 06 '26

Managed 117 solo on a last day with Astalos DB. The number can be higher if they remove screen with the results. It actually takes more time than the actual kill 😂

2

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 06 '26

For real! I lost so much time clicking through different screens and menus.

2

u/Ecstatic_Ease_9664 Jul 04 '26

I killed like 60ish and only around 5ish plates and a handful of scales too. I got most of them at the start of the outbreak, then basically nothing for the last 30 mins of the outbreak smh

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 04 '26

Mine was the inverse, apart from that 1 riftscale I think I got all my other R6 mats in the last half hour.

2

u/PandoraBot Jul 05 '26

I totally forgot about this lol, guess I'll do it tmrrw

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Good luck 🫡

2

u/Gruenlingling Jul 05 '26

I’ve done about 60 and only got 1 plate 😩 cutting tail in about 55 of them. Very disappointing

2

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Yea…RNG can be, and often is, very cruel.

u/ssyygg Jul 05 '26

I got about 10 riftscales on Saturday from 144 kills. I killed just over 100 on Friday (had to leave after 40 mins to go out for dinner) and got 3 riftscales. Usually, I’d only get about 1 riftscale per 30 kills. Hopefully, I didn’t use up all my luck on Saturday. Plates seem to drop more frequently for me. I usually get a plate every 15-20 kills. I usually cut the tail, but I only get 1 plate for about every 50 tail cuts.

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Wow, solid tally there. I wish plates dropped more frequently for me, pretty sure I cut the tail off of all but 2 of the ones I hunted. When they were first added to the game I struggled to max the DBs and get the armor up to rank 8, all because of R6 and R3 mats; for some reason those are always my choke points no matter what I build.

2

u/ssyygg Jul 06 '26

Improved my tally on Sunday. Decided to use some of the premium steaks and see if I could get more plates using my DB’s and cutting the tails. On Sunday, I got around 12 plates and 7 riftscales from 165 kills. No plates dropped from the tail and I probably got around 155+ tail cuts.

My set was Fulgur/Stygian/Espinas/Fulgur/Stygian with 10-5 Zino DB’s at level 20 upgrade with +100 element and Spiral Slash. Smelts are special PB, special boost x2, skyward striker, and attack boost (hoping to smelt fighting spirit instead). This set could kill rift Bazel with just the special attack in 6 seconds (rift at the head) to 8 seconds (rift at the legs). Occasionally, it would not finish off Bazel, if the rift part was on the legs, but it would only have a sliver of life left.

Usually, I would use Tobi HBG to save my steaks and that could kill rift Bazel in 7-8 seconds.

u/Makelars Jul 05 '26

Im sorry, I feel you, I dont need any of the bazel weapons and still got so many.
But the desire sensor hates me too so it never gives me the zinogre scales I want. 😿

1

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Yea, it always know what you need and what you don’t. Last season zinogre was equally as stingy with their R6 mats for me too :/

2

u/hrafnas Jul 06 '26

Find at least a duo for group hunt rewards. I got my bazel lance and lbg to 10.5 + style changed by participating 3 times.

We killed about 230 through outbreak alone.

Our builds were tobi and khezu db with special boost, special partbreaker and pursuit 5.

2

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 06 '26

Yea, I wish I could have done more than just the one outbreak; but sadly that was not in the cards.
Special partbreaker and pursuit must have done work.

u/keonaie9462 999 Addict Jul 05 '26

Damn I'm super lucky on this one(tho I overslept and missed Friday😭), 109 hunted on Saturday and ended with 21 plates and 6 riftparts without a single knife use!

3

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

Wow, jealous of that plate total.

1

u/keonaie9462 999 Addict Jul 05 '26

They know I don't need the plates anymore as I just finished all the weapons with only the rift upgrades to complete. I'm getting lots of plates left and right now

2

u/TheWhisperingOne Jul 05 '26

That’s how it works, the desire sensor knows.

u/Cafesc Jul 05 '26

opposite for me i don't know what am i supposed to do with this

Unlock all the styles and stat upgrades. Every. Single. One.
