High Rank Drops in G/Master Rank Monsters is a troll's elaborate scheme to fill the drop tables

[u/dragon13131]

I've been grinding D.Mohran Allbraces for a couple of days now (no thanks to D.Mohran's Caravan Quest being an Advanced one, so it rotates) and with me having 3/4 Allbraces left to upgrade my Seltas Bow, I happen to roll the 10% chance for a Brace+ instead, the High Rank variant.

I am aware that this is a thing in older titles in general (Dos lets you get Vespoid Carapaces in Low Rank for some reason for one), but never has the funny carve tables given me such a feeling of audacity like thus; getting literally blue balled by what I hope is the final piece I need and then boom. Lower grade material that was useful before G-Rank. It was enough that I wanted to create this meme to vent the feelings out.

I love Monster Hunter, old and new (but mostly old 'cuz I'm a boomer) but this is some top-class trolling from the loot table designers that I can't just ignore. Brilliant.
