what is a good budget build for Ls for someone who has just discovered the guided lands.
- Anonymous
The best progression for MR would be
Crimson Kadachi -> Blossom+ (Pink Rathian) -> Shara -> Goldian/Ruiner Nerg (Ruiner has better sharpness, but Goldian has the ever so useful Poison, both has the same raw) -> Lightbreak LS -> Fatalis LS.

There's no point saying rank 9 weapons are only available to Icebourne players and then NOT putting the ranks next to the bloody weapons. It tells us nothing.

Luna Longsword is sure is meta but man Hellish slasher is so damn cool and been running that instead (been running divine slasher for almost a year so its a no brainer). Back tornaria as well, the design is really cool. I definitely will never run the bone/ore designs so I am really happy with some of the designs like the zinogre LS or Yian Garuga/Rajang LS. Hoping later monsters get unique designs as well!

The divine slasher up grade so far is as follows: 2 Glavenus coins, 2 Nargacuga coins , 2 Banbaro coins. I believe the final coins will be Odogaron as its the only arena i haven't done yet but this is just a guess.

Looking at the Azure Star Weapons right now and they are competently wrong which I find a little annoying to look at

This tree is, at least in part, inaccurate. I started making the Dazzling Flash III as it would have outdone the Kadachi Blade III, however the final form only has 120 thunder element as listed in the (current, and patched) in-game tree.

So there's no scythes? Oh well, I suppose I'l use the blood drinker chainblades

Sounds good, i'll check the help and start inputting some of my info in when I get home and can make sure everything is correct. I tried creating the page for Magda Facultas so it's kinda ugly right now but i'll be using that to work through some kinks. Any tips on it as I keep editing would be appreciated :)

Lol i'm new to editing wikis so i'm not sure how to input pages and stuff... Most of the longswords I have don't have pages yet so I figured i'd contribute but i'm not sure how to edit the pages. Help me, help you! :P
