The method of how you craft or change weapons is confusing many new Monster Hunter Now players. To begin with, the feature isn’t available right from the start, so you need to level up first before you can use it. Also, if you have played any other games in the series, you will find many weapon types missing. Don’t worry a lot of them are in the game. So here is how you can forge new weapons and unlock their special skills in MH Now.
