How much do we know about the upcoming Kulve Taroth Master Rank quest?

Iceborne

Based on the videos, I have come to understand the following:

  • It will not be a siege; developers have stated it will be a standard 4 person quest.

  • Previous High Rank weapons can be upgraded with parts obtained from the quest.

  • The quest is to slay, not break horns.

However, I haven't found any information on certain details like if she will still drop weapons at Master Rank, or if they can only be farmed at High. There are still many weapons I wasn't able to get back in the day (and I certainly didn't sell any of them when Iceborne came out like an idiot >.>) and it'd be nice to know if I need to start farming base versions now or not.

You'd know this information by watching the dev diary.

It starts at area 2.

The M rank quest doesn't drop weapons, but you can use HR and MR materials to meld weapons. HR siege will also have weapon rates boosted to help.

I was thinking that something like Safi'jiiva's weapon melding would be a thing. Thanks for confirming.

I dont think she'll drop weapons in MR. I'm curious about what they'll do with the balancing of the weapons. Especially, how will stuff like Glutton HBG, Support LBG, Taroth "Fire" LS or the Kjårr weapons compare to stuff like Safi or Raging Brachy weapons.

Also, I wonder if her hp will be permanently scaled to multiplayer or not

They said she won't drop weapons from the MR version but like Safi'jiiva you can use MR materials to meld weapons, probably in the same manner of "gem = 3 weapons"

With how Safi weapon meta appears to lean toward Raw, I wouldn't be surprised if Kulve MR weapons once again become the best Elemental Options. Native Critical Element (assuming Kjarr weapons are the basis of the MR weapons) on a full Safi set would be really interesting, especially for LBG.

The biggest thing I wonder is how Bowguns like Taroth Blitz Support / Shot and Taroth Assault Glutton will be in Master Rank. Will they be toned down because of their previous meta status or will they be viable alternatives to Safi weapons?

Since I never fought her in HR, I'm really just interested in her MR armor.

Interesting indeed.

I was really hoping for a slay quest. Ya think she’ll have regrown her horns? Or gotten like a substitute?

In any case, if I wete to design it, it’d be something like get an item from the mr quest to upgrade those you get from the siege. Otherwise the lr siege is useless.

It would be cool if she regrew her horns but now they are warped and twisted, kinda like Bloodbath Diablos' regrown horn

I thought they said the high rank quest was changing too?

The HR siege isn't changing other than having probably better payouts on weapons, maybe guaranteeing the weapon you're using too.

_HalfCutDreamer_•

Ah probably the payout

I hope theyll make it so k8ie weapons are the reigning elemental ones.

I’m curious if it’ll still be multiplayer scaled
