Jax went on his first solo hunt today.
With his party gone, he felt that he had no choice but to do it all alone. He had gotten used to most of the monsters anyway, so fighting them was no issue at all.
Only certain monsters posed him any issue, and that he could easily deal with all the equipment he had. He now wore a Black Lead Helmet, Black Lead Greaves, Black Lead Gauntlets, and a Black Lead Shin Guard.
They were heavy, but having reached the 5-Star Opal stage, Jax could easily handle that weight while flexibly fighting through the many monsters of the forest.
Jax had a level of freedom without his party since he could now spend as much time butchering monsters and searching for various herbs. He had no obligation to keep moving and could waste as much time as he wanted.
Doing so certainly slowed him down a lot, but that allowed him to find herbs and flowers that he hadn't before. As he learned to recognize them at a glance, it would be far faster in the future.
