How To Forge Equipment In Monster Hunter Now
You will need to use monster materials if you want to forge any equipment such as weapons or armor. Certain weapons have Elements attached to them. This allows these weapons to deal more damage to monsters who are weak against the Element. For example, water-element weapons are powerful against Kulu-Ya-Ku.
Forgeable weapons and armor will have a red hammer icon present in the upper-right corner of their icons.
