Monster Hunter World Iceborne has re-worked the Augment System for weapons. In this guide I will go over the Augment System along with the required materials.
Monster Hunter World Iceborne Augment System Guide
Back inMonster Hunter World, a weapon could be augmented a set amount of times depending on its rarity. Each augment type was weighted the same. InIceborne, each augment type has a different “weight” or cost assigned to them and each weapon’s socket number is based on rarity. Below you will find eachAugment’s, sockets, costs and limits.
Yellow Text means that it was added in the Rajang update.
