Learn the best ways to farm Barioth Shells in Monster Hunter Rise. Discover drop rates from carves, broken parts, and dropped materials to craft powerful gear.
Alright, let's talk about getting your hands on some Barioth Shells in Monster Hunter Rise! These are super useful for crafting some awesome gear, especially early on. You'll be hunting a Low Rank Barioth for these, so don't worry too much about facing the toughest version of this monster just yet.
Here's the lowdown on how you're most likely to snag those shells:
- Target Reward: You've got a 21% chance of getting a Barioth Shell just for completing the hunt successfully.
- Broken Part Rewards: If you focus on breaking the Barioth's head, you'll get a 25% chance for a shell from that specific reward. Go for the head!
- Carves: When you carve the Barioth's body after the fight, there's a 40% chance you'll get a shell. Carving the tail gives you a 10% chance. So, body carves are definitely your best bet here.
- Dropped Material: Keep an eye out for shiny drops during the fight! There's a solid 50% chance a dropped material will be a Barioth Shell.
Now, why would you want all these shells? Well, they're key ingredients for some pretty cool gear. You'll need them for three pieces of the Barioth Armor Set: the Helm, Vambraces, and Coil. Each of these pieces requires 3 Barioth Shells.
But that's not all! Barioth Shells are also used in a bunch of weapons. Here's what you can craft:
| Weapon | Type | Materials Needed |
| Icicle Fang I | Great Sword | Barioth Shell x3 |
| Bastine Edge I | Long Sword | Barioth Shell x6 |
| Icicle Spike I | Sword & Shield | Barioth Shell x4 |
| Blizzarioths I | Dual Blades | Barioth Shell x3 |
| Glacial Bash I | Hammer | Barioth Shell x3 |
| Bariguiro I | Hunting Horn | Barioth Shell x3 |
| Amber Slash I | Switch Axe | Barioth Shell x3 |
| Amber Piton I | Insect Glaive | Barioth Shell x2 |
| Blizzard Cannon I | Light Bowgun | Barioth Shell x4 |
| Ice Crest I | Bow | Barioth Shell x3 |
As you can see, the Bastine Edge I (Long Sword) needs the most at 6 shells, while the Amber Piton I (Insect Glaive) is the most efficient, only needing 2. Keep these numbers in mind when you're deciding which gear to aim for!
