In the expansive world of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, decorating your hub or private quarters not only adds a personal touch but can also make your space feel more like home. With numerous options for decorations, the process of acquiring and placing them can be both a fun and rewarding experience. Here's a guide on where to find these decorations and how to make the most of them in your Iceborne adventure.
Where to Get Decorations
The game offers several avenues for obtaining decorations, each with its unique items and benefits:
- Hunters Hub (Astera or Seliana): This is your primary hub for buying decorations. There are several NPCs you can interact with:
- Smithy: Custom items like weapon display stands.
- Provisions Manager: Simple furnishings and guild merchandise.
- Housekeeper: Exotic items that change based on your hunter rank and progress in the game.
- Rare Trade-In Items:
- Endemic Life Researcher - Certain small monsters or rare insects can be traded for special decorations.
- Admiral: Rewards for completing his Research Request.
- Events and Limited Time Offers: Keep an eye out for seasonal events where exclusive decorations become available. These often include:
- Seasonal decorations like pumpkin carvings or festive lights.
- Special events that give limited time decorations as rewards for completing event quests.
- Monster Materials: Certain decorations require specific monster parts, encouraging you to engage in hunting activities:
- Parts from monsters like the mighty Rajang or Safi’jiiva can be used to craft high-end furnishings.
- The Kulve Taroth siege provides materials for ornate decorations.
Placement of Decorations
Once you’ve acquired your decorations, placement is key to creating an inviting atmosphere:
- Layout Planning: Your private quarters or house can be rearranged with your choice of decorations. Think about where you spend the most time or what area you want to highlight.
- Furnishing Points: Furniture has furnishing points which contribute to your room’s overall decoration level. Items like:
- Weapon Racks (5-15 points)
- Tables or Chairs (3-7 points)
- Unique Monster Decorations (10+ points)
- Theme Consideration: Keep in mind the theme of your quarters:
- If you’re going for a warrior’s lair, weapon displays and monster trophies work well.
- For a more serene setting, consider items like flower vases or small fountains.
Using Decorations for In-Game Benefits
Beyond aesthetics, certain decorations offer gameplay advantages:
- Set Items: Some sets of decorations provide bonuses when placed together, like:
- The Guildmaster’s Set increases the number of max orders from the canteen.
- The Ecology Set gives you extra materials after gathering or mining.
- Item Storage: Some decorations can increase your item box capacity.
- Stamina Boost: Consuming meals in your quarters with specific decorations can give you stamina bonuses.
