values for rewards and carves in Monster Hunter games.
This repository contains the source code for http://mhapi.info, a site for

For a list of quests and hunts providing the specified monster part:
bin/mhrewards.py "Zinogre Jasper"
This gives expected values for the item from different sources, including
quest rewards, carves, capture, and shiny drops. An expected value of
8% means that on average, you would get 8 of the item from 100 quests. Note
that this is different from the probability of getting at least one, which
will be lower and is a pain to calculate when there can be different number
of rewards. It also takes into account Carving and Luck skills. The main
value shown assumes no food or armor skills. For Carves the extra values
listed on the right are for felyne skills Carver Lo, Carver Hi, then armor
skills Carving Master and Carving God. For quest rewards the extra values
are for food/armor skills Lucky Cat/Good Luck and Ultra Lucky Cat/Great Luck.
The totals at the end list the range from no skills to the best skill. For
capture rewards the extra values are for armor skills Capture Expect, Master,
and God.
This gives detailed expected values for the item from different sources,
including quest rewards, carves, capture, and shiny drops. It also gives
recommendations for which quests and strategy (capture or kill) will give the
best results. See link:RECOMMENDATIONS.adoc[] for a more detailed explanation of
the output.
For more manual calculations, mhprob.py can be used directly. The quest
"Plain Dangerous" in 3U has 2 fixed rewards in A, one in B. Diablos hardhorns
