What is Augmenting?

Augmenting is the act of further enhancing weapons and armor past their maximum refinement level. For weapons, augmenting allows you to infuse them with additional properties. Augmenting armor, on the other hand, raises their upgrade limit, allowing you to reach even higher defense values.

You will be able to augment equipment after completing the post-game quests Beyond the Blasting Scales and Thunderous Rumble in the Highlands. Clearing them allows you to take on threat level 2 and 3 investigations that randomly reward streamstones. These materials are quite rare, so you may need to run investigations several times to get the ones you need.

Types of Steamstones

Material	Description	How to Obtain
Streamstone Shard	Secondary material in augmenting rarity 6 weapons and rarity 1 to 5 armor	Clear threat level 1 investigations
Streamstone	Secondary material in augmenting rarity 7 weapons and rarity 6 to 7 armor	Clear threat level 2 investigations
Gleaming Streamstone	Secondary material in augmenting rarity 8 weapons and armor	Clear threat level 3 investigations
Sullied Streamstone	Become warrior’s steamstones after appraisal. Primary material in augmenting rarity 6 and 7 weapons.	Clear threat level 2 investigations
Shining Steamstone	Become hero’s streamstones after appraisal. Primary material in augmenting rarity 8 weapons.	Clear threat level 3 investigation

Augmenting Weapons

Extra Slots 2 Augment Mhw

Augmenting weapons requires the most farming, as you will need either a warrior’s or hero’s streamstone specific to your weapon. For example, augmenting a rarity 8 great sword requires one hero’s streamstone: great sword.

The number of augments you can infuse your weapon with depends on its rarity. You can have up to three augments on rarity 6 weapons, two on rarity 7, and one on rarity 8.

Weapon augments cannot be removed or replaced once they have been applied. Be sure to choose those that suit your playstyle and skills.

Recommended Master Rank Weapon Augments

Best Master Rank Weapon Augment Chart

Elements	Description
Health Regen	★★★- Recovers health when damaging monsters - Reduces need to use recovery items, therefore increasing time to attack monsters
Affinity Increase	★★・- Increases affinity by 10% - 2nd augment increases by 5% - Best for weapons with low affinity
Attack Increase	★★・- Increases weapon attack power - Increase depends on weapon type - Recommended for weapons with high affinity
Slot Upgrade	★・・- Adds 1 decoration slot - Best for weapons lacking slots
Defense Increase	★・・- Increases defense and has chance to reduce damage - Low priority augment as defense should be armor-focused

Focus On Health & Affinity Augments

It's best to augment weapons with Health Regen & Affinity Increase as these work make hunting more efficient. If your chosen weapon already has a high affinity rate, it's best to use Attack Increase instead.

Choosing Between Attack Or Affinity Increase

Prioritize Weapons With Low Affinity

Having a weapon with high affinity will increase your chance of dealing critical hits & doing heavy damage so it's best to raise the affinity rate of your weapons. However, note that Affinity Increase augments have diminishing returns.

Use Attack Increase With High Affinity Weapons

If your weapon of choice already has a high affinity or cannot be augmented with Health Regen, you can opt to augment it with Attack Increase. This will strengthen your raw attack stat, making each hit more powerful!
