📋 About This Mod
Made for 15. 1X. XX.
There's 5 separate files. Read their descriptions and stop asking why X doesn't work when you only grabbed Y file.
If you want all 5, use all 5; mix'n'match 'em however you want. None of 'em conflict with each other.
You can ignore the "target file" part if you wish, it's more for me so I can keep track which is which because there's too many files you can do things in and I forget which is which.
Json is included if you need to merge with files from another mod.
This mod reduces the research point cost for augmentations to 1 and sets layered armor research to 1 RP, with other armor types costing 1z. It's a simple quality-of-life tweak for Monster Hunter: World players who find the default research costs too grindy.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes augmentations way less grindy—no more farming for hours just to unlock a single upgrade.
- Layered armor becomes dirt cheap, so you can experiment with fashion without the resource sink.
- Solid community backing with 585 endorsements and over 28k downloads, so it's proven to work for many hunters.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects research costs, not the materials needed—you'll still need to farm the actual parts.
- Might trivialize the progression for players who enjoy the grind; could make the game feel too easy.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter research costs or augmentation systems—check your load order.
For Monster Hunter: World players who are tired of the research point grind and just want to get to the fun part of augmenting gear. Also great for fashion hunters who want layered armor without the resource sink. Skip if you enjoy the challenge of managing research points as part of the game's economy.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest version of the game and any required DLC, as mods can break after updates.
- If you're using a mod manager, install this mod through it to keep track of your mods and easily disable it if needed.
- This mod only changes research costs, so you still need to gather the required materials for augmentations—don't expect a free ride.
