It doesn’t need to be ready for the event, but we need confirmation that its coming. The Driftstone C event is the best driftstone to put on universal pieces like bubbly or lock on. Problem is that unless we get driftstone skills loadout saving, doing this will be completely pointless. I would love to grind multiple elemental drifts on bubbly to get that updated for all elements, but right now im sticking it to only one element.
現状/Current Status
No way to save driftsmelt skills to a specific loadout. Takes too long to change the skills on powerful armors to make more than one skill per piece worth it.
Sometimes I don’t even know if that one fella in the lobby was just trying to change the driftsmelt skills as fast as they can, they’re stuck with a faulty Ready status (they pressed Ready but the game doesn’t show it to the rest of the lobby), or they’re simply wasting everybody’s time delaying the lobby.
If they’re doing the first, then I apologise for switching out the lobby because of their seeming “reluctance” to be ready.
That last guy in the lobby might be me, in which case he is not changing driftstones, he is changing weapons. I have a “Long Gunlance” build, with Artillery and Focus and then just change the weapon. So if we have five monsters in a HAT, all weak to different elements, I have to change my weapon five times, even though the armour is staying the same.
Whether changing driftstones or weapon, more loadouts would partially mitigate this problem.
Improving loadout in terms of assigning different driftsmelt slot on a single armor in each loadout.
For example as a bow main is it possible for loadout 1. A jyura greaves with a driftsmelt slot of fire attack. While loadout 2 have a jyura greaves with a driftsmelt slot of thunder attack. It would help hunter not to edit driftsmelt slot in an armor every time you will need to change the skill in a driftsmelt slot just to hunt a different monster
Based on experience my friend has to always edit his armor driftstone slot skills when joining a group hunt with is a little hassle to us because it waste time.
