Monster Hunter World Iceborne Augment System Guide

Back in Monster Hunter World, a weapon could be augmented a set amount of times depending on its rarity. Each augment type was weighted the same. In Iceborne, each augment type has a different “weight” or cost assigned to them and each weapon’s socket number is based on rarity. Below you will find each Augment‘s, sockets, costs and limits.

Yellow Text means that it was added in the Rajang update.
