When the executive producer of Monster Hunter Now, Kei Kwai, opened his presentation on Monster Hunter Now by talking about what the franchise meant to him — his cousin marrying someone they met at the Monster Hunter table in the cafeteria — it struck a chord. My brother and I would always try to hide from the harsh Spanish sun on our family holidays by sitting under the biggest palm tree we could find, so that we could get the most shade and best see what we were fighting on our PSPs.
Monster Hunter Now: How to Enhance Armor & Weapons
16.11.2023 - 14:47 / gameranx.com
As you progress through the story quests in Monster Hunter Now, you will unlock new weapons and armor sets. Unlike some other mobile games, the Monster Hunter Now weapons are not ranked through a 5-star or SSR system. Instead, weapons become available to you based on where you are in the story and which monsters you can hunt.

There are three steps to powering up your weapons: forging new weapons, upgrading current weapons, and overgrading weapons for more effective Special Skills. Sometimes, overgrading will unlock Equipment Skills.
Forging unlocks when you reach Hunter Rank 6. If you’ve unlocked new equipment pieces but can’t forge them, they will appear as opaque on your screen. You’ll be able to see their attack stats, so you can pick and choose depending on what you need. This is useful when you need weapons of a specific element.
If the equipment can be forged, it will have a red hammer in the upper right corner of its icon. Some equipment will unlock as you defeat more and more Large Monsters. However, other equipment sets may unlock after you forge a certain amount of other equipment.
To forge equipment:
After forging, the equipment will be ready to use. As you continue playing the game, some equipment will automatically be forged at a higher Grade. For example, after defeating the first Paolumu, the Lumu Armor Set will be forged at Grade 2.
Upgrading unlocks when you reach Hunter Rank 4 and allows you to upgrade your starting equipment – the Leather Armor set and Hunter’s Knife. Weapons and Armor require their associated Monster materials, other materials such as ore, and Zenny to upgrade.
Every piece of equipment will have an arrow in the upper right corner of its icon. When the arrow is gray, the equipment can still be upgraded but you don’t have the materials to do so. When the arrow is green, the piece is ready to upgrade.
To upgrade your equipment:
Equipment can be leveled up five times per grade. Once you reach Level 5 of a given Grade, you need to overgrade the equipment in order to continue upgrading it.
Unlocking at Hunter Rank 11, overgrading allows you to increase the grade of your equipment. At certain grades, your equipment will gain equipment skills. All weapons have one equipment skill while armor pieces may have two. At Grade 2, all weapons gain their Special Skill. Currently, all equipment can be overgraded up to Grade 10.
Equipment capable of being overgraded will also be marked with the green Upgrade arrow. To overgrade your equipment, follow the upgrading instructions.
