Caravan GS ?

[daywithoutgames]

I want to make this GS but need 10 orange ores :



When I search inven here the result for orange ore : mhf.inven.co.kr/dataninfo/item/common_detail.php?code=42386

Use google translate I think maybe it can be mined in caravan quests , but I dont know where to mine it and what % chance to get it .

To fully upgrade this GS need a lot of caravan ores : mhf.inven.co.kr/dataninfo/item/weapon_detail.php?code=22830

So I want to ask is it easy to fully upgrade this GS ? What caravan quests have these ores ?

I want to tail run silver rathalos so what GS is better : 960 raw 1100 thunder or 1248 raw only ?

The caravan ores are 100% from differing levels of caravan.

You start with bronze (the one in the pic), then to silver, then to gold.

Element on GS for the most part doesn't matter. You aren't using it for element. So 1248 is always the better choice, especially given the hax armour skills in this game boosting attack.

What? If your fighting anything weak to thunder that electric gs would set up a pathway to hell for it. But for all other applications the raw on the caravan great sword is substantially better. So your call. You could always make both

Lets Play GS damage formula shall we? Lets Take a normal Tiggy as example.
Raw
960 Raw Fully Charged Green Sharpness on Head enraged Tiggy
[ATP x TYPE x SHARP x HITZONE x DEFENSE] / [CLASS] = Total Raw Damage
[960 x 1.30 x 1.125 x 0,80]=1123,3 / 4.8 = 234 Total Raw

Now the element part
[ELEMENT x ESHARP x ELMZONE x DEFENSE] = Total Elemental Damage
[1100 x 1 x 0,35]=385 Elemental damage

I left the Monster def at 1 to make it a bit easier for me =)
Although in this special case on TIggy it seems to be better then the 1248 raw one on Silver Los the Raw one is better because of only 10% elemental damage on Tail.
All formulas are from MH2 just because its imo the closest to MHFO, if someone could provide me with MHFO Formulas and stagger limits would be awsome^^
