Argosy & Tailraider Safari Management
The Argosy and Tailraider Safari are invaluable passive income and resource-gathering systems in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Effectively managing these features can significantly supplement your hunts by providing essential crafting materials, rare items, and even unique rewards.
The Argosy, accessible via the Ship in Seliana, allows you to send your Palicoes on voyages to acquire various goods. You can choose the type of cargo you wish to prioritize, such as rare endemic life, monster materials, or even specific crafting components. As you progress, you'll unlock new voyages with better rewards. It's crucial to regularly check the Argosy's available voyages and select those that al with your current crafting needs or offer items you're struggling to obtain through hunting. Keep an eye on the "Trade Goods" option, which allows you to exchange surplus items for valuable materials.
The Tailraider Safari, also managed by your Palicoes, sends them out to explore various locales and bring back loot. You can dispatch them to specific regions, and their success rate and the quality of their findings depend on their level and the number of Palicoes assed. Similar to the Argosy, it's beneficial to send your Tailraiders to areas where you need specific monster parts or endemic life. Upgrading your Palicoes' gear and skills can also improve their safari performance. Regularly collecting their findings and redeploying them ensures a steady stream of resources without requiring direct player intervention. Don't underestimate the value of the rare endemic life they can bring back, as these are often needed for decorations and other crafting purposes.
