mod are allowed only if it fit the following for IL's

PC ONLY: Use of PERMITTED MODS is allowed. A list of currently Permitted Mods can be found here: https://bit.ly/mhwpcmods

basically visual mod and not game breaking (some mod in the list may not be updated for iceborne)

mod in speedrun are mostly use to avoid resesting until we have: the best hp roll for optional (1/5) felyne booster and att up L at the canteen (1/25)+dozen of voucher monster size (around 1/3)

that mean with no mod you have to restart around 300 time juste for getting an optimal run

and if you want to have att up L from the felyne coral orchestra its 1/6 so 1800 reset

if you want to do a really good speedrun without mod you can but you will lose many hours

You don't have to mod to do speedruns. The only mods that we allow are to reduce the amount of resetting runs, for player convenience.

Typically, most people only use visual mods for IL speedrunning, any and all mods they use are listed in the run description.

As @Popyhead said, most of the old mods may not have been updated for Iceborne, so most people don't have mods at all.

If there is anything else you'd like to discuss with us, please let us know ♥

I have a question if I am on PC but did not have a cutscene skip is there a rule for that or do I just have the final time? Or is that a different category?
