Hey there, fellow hunters! It's that spooky time of the year, and in Monster Hunter Now, that means the return of the Halloween event with all its festive flair. One of the highlights of this event is the iconic Jack O' Head Armor, which is both intriguing and captivating. But is it worth the investment? Well, let's dive right into it.
I stumbled upon some valuable insights regarding the solidarity skill on the Monster Hunter Now subreddit, and it made me reconsider the worth of the Jack O' Head Armor. You see, this special armor piece gives you a significant bonus during the Halloween event, boosting your attack power by a whopping 100 points when you're hunting solo. Now, if you're a solo hunter like me, this buff is a game-changer.
Thanks to this attack boost, I was able to take down seven-star monsters like Anjanath, Rathalos, and Rathian during the event. These are formidable foes that I shouldn't be able to solo just yet, but with the Jack O' Head Armor, it became possible. I even managed to gather those elusive monster plates much earlier than I expected. So, in terms of the event, crafting the Jack O' Head Armor is undoubtedly worth it.
But here's where it gets tricky. Upgrading this armor piece might not be such a wise move. When you upgrade it, you only gain additional defense; there are no extra skills or bonuses. So, when the Halloween event concludes, and that wonderful 5x damage multiplier is gone, you're left with armor that's more defensively oriented.
The crucial factor here is that the Jack O' Head Armor and the Rathalos Helm offer the same attack boost when hunting solo, making the Jack O' Head Armor the preferred choice in multiplayer scenarios involving three or four hunters. However, if you're typically teaming up with just one other player, the Rathalos Helm is more efficient. This means that unless you're almost always hunting in larger groups, the Jack O' Head Armor isn't the best long-term investment.
Speaking from personal experience, I opted to craft the Jack O' Head Armor without upgrading it. The trade-off is that I can get one-shot by six-star monsters while wearing the pumpkin head, and my first aid meds deplete faster than usual. But that's where the age-old advice of "get good" applies. If you're seeking to save Zeny for essential weapon upgrades, this is the way to go.
Of course, we do have event quests that grant Zeny, but those hard-earned coins are better invested in enhancing our trusty weapons, which we'll be using consistently. The Jack O' Head Armor will likely end up gathering dust in your storage once the Halloween event concludes, so upgrading it may not be the wisest choice.
Now, you might wonder whether it's still worth farming for more Pumpkin Tickets if you're not planning to upgrade the Jack O' Head Armor. Well, there's a Pumpkin Medal Acquisition Quest that rewards you with more Zeny. So, hunting down a few Kulu-Yakus for those extra Pumpkin Tickets can't hurt. After all, we never know when they might come in handy for future Halloween events. It's better to have those resources and not need them than to need them and not have them. The only challenge here is managing your storage space.
In summary, go ahead and craft the Jack O' Head Armor if you want to maximize your efficiency during the Halloween event. However, I'd advise against upgrading it, considering its limited use outside the event. Keep an eye out for more Pumpkin Tickets, and make the most of the Halloween festivities in Monster Hunter Now.
