About these numbers: Display attack equals true raw times the weapon modifier, from datamined Capcom data. Upgrades and skills sit on top, so rows pin Rarity 1 base only.

About this converter

Monster Hunter World shows display attack as true raw times a fixed weapon modifier. Matched Slicers I shows 112, Bone Hatchets I 140, Bone Lance I 207, Iron Katana I 264, Proto Axe I 288, Bone Shotel I 297, Bone Strongarm I 324, Buster Sword I 384, Iron Hammer I 416, Bone Blade I and Dragonbone Cleaver I 480, Bone Bludgeon I 520. That makes one Bone Bludgeon equal over four Slicers of display attack. True raw sits behind each row in notes, with ore at true 80 and bone at true 90 or 100. Every value here is the Rarity 1 base from Kiranico and Fextralife tables.

How to use it

Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in attack. Try 1 Bone Bludgeon against Slicers.

Weapon modifiers never move: Dual Blades 1.4, Lance 2.3, Long Sword 3.3, Charge Blade 3.6, Great Sword 4.8. Sharpness, affinity and skills multiply live damage but stay out of base math. Defender and upgraded trees start higher and stay out of this Rarity 1 list.
