I want everyone to know how stupid I am.
This is my first MH game and I just finished completing all low and high tier quests. I played through the entire game in low tier armor because I didn’t notice the High Tier tab at the smithy. I kept wondering WHY I couldn’t use Layered Armor OR change the color of any of my gear. I started wondering if it was something you had to purchase with real money. I admit I’m an idiot but I think ultimately it made me a better player. I was popping seeds and potions like crazy just to stay alive and not get one shot. But by the end it had mastered every monster.
I love this game and now I get to keep playing so I can craft all the high tier sets, neat 👍
