Gathering is an important part of Monster Hunter Rise. Knowing what resources are available in what locations and how to efficiently harvest them can significantly cut down on the time spent grinding in Monster Hunter Rise.
Boatshells are an account item that, like other account items, are unique to a location. Collecting them rewards the player with 46 Kamura Points. While not used for crafting, they are usually the objectives for gathering quests and requests. Fortunately, unlike some gathering quests, Boatshells don't need to be hauled back to the chest at camp.
Where to Get Boatshells
Boatshells are an Account Item that can only be gathered in the Frost Islands in both Low Rank and High Rank settings. They can be found by searching Oyster Beds.
- In the secluded flooded area in sector 4
- In the secluded flooded area in sectors 7 and 8
- North of sector 8
- Southeast and southwest of sector 10
Monster Hunter fans have been patiently waiting for the PC port of the timed Switch exclusive. The PC version of MH Rise offers improved graphics with up to 4K resolution, high-res textures, increased framerates, optimized keyboard and mouse controls, ultrawide display support, and built-in voice chat. While it could be argued that these features are a given in any modern PC release, they are appreciated nonetheless.
Monster Hunter Rise is the sequel to the massively popular Monster Hunter: World that was released in 2018. Since its release on the Nintendo Switch in 2021, there has been plenty of debate on which Monster Hunter title is the "best." While Monster Hunter Rise might not be as grand in terms of scale or as dense in terms of environment detail due to the limitations of the Switch, it does offer several enhancements on its predecessor. Fans were quick to adapt to the wirebugs and praised the weapon redesigns in general. Both titles have reviewed well amongst critics and fans alike, so the "competition" is more friendly than anything else.
Sunbreak will be the first major expansion for Monster Hunter Rise and is "coming soon" with more information being available this Spring. In addition to a new storyline, Sunbreak will also add Master Rank hunts. From what little Capcom has revealed and based on the Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter World, players are hoping for it to be on par in terms of scope and content. No matter what it may be, fans are sure to be in for a treat when the expansion eventually releases later this year.
Monster Hunter Rise is available now on Nintendo Switch and PC.
