Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.

📖 Respect Your Fellow Hunters

Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.

No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.

No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.

No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.

📖 Original Art Only

No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.

Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.

If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

[MHW] Elemental resistance points on armour (self.monsterhunter)

I remember in MH Tri that you would get a "level" of some elemental resistance for each 5 points of that elemental resistance on armour pieces. Like, 4 points would give you no benefit at all, but 5 points would give you low elemental resistance, 10 points mid, and 15 points high (or something like that). So little me thought I would have a little bit of everything, having a couple of points in each resistance, and I only much later found out I actually had no benefit at all. So my question is: do the points/resistances work in the same way in MHW too, or does each point count? I searched the internet but surprisingly did not find an answer.

Your type of thinking was very common with new hunters, especially on skills. I think it was probably the biggest factor in the rework of the activation system for world/rise. So, yeah, there are no thresholds to meet anymore. If you slot 1 level of anything, you will see a benefit, just maybe not worth it until you get more for certain skills.
