These very powerful monsters are rare-some of the rarest you’ll come across in game-which means you’ll need to grind quite a bit if you want to really dive into the augmentation system in Monster Hunter: World.
So how do you get your hands on these Streamstones? Well, in order to get Streamstones you are going to need to hunt tempered monsters. For example, lower rarity gear will take regular Streamstones-the item needed to augment gear-while higher tier gear will require even rarer Streamstones called Gleaming Streamstones. Now, the type of item you need is going to be based on the overall rarity of your gear. Like other upgrades, you’ll need to get your hands on some rare items in order to make augmentations happen.
The final piece of the puzzle is finding out how to augment your weapons and gear. Okay, so now you know how to unlock augmentations and even what types there are. When it comes to armor, though, you only have one augmentation option and that is to remove the Upgrade Limit, which will allow you to sink more Armor Spheres into the piece, granting additional armor defense to that piece.
This gives you a nice amount of workaround to toy with. The nice thing about augmentations is that each weapon will offer a different amount of augmentation slots, allowing you to add more than one augmentation-or even double up on certain augmentations.
