Is capturing monsters faster than killing MHW?

Yes, capturing monsters is generally faster in Monster Hunter: World (MHW) because it ends the hunt when the monster is weakened, skipping its final enraged phase and saving several minutes, though you need to prepare traps and tranq bombs and be aware that some rare items are carve-only. Capturing usually yields more quest rewards and can be more efficient for farming armor sets, while slaying provides more carves for body parts.

Is capturing better than slaying?

Capturing is faster, yields rare material, and conserves resources; ideal for efficient farming. Slaying gives more carves and lets you see a monster's entire battle appearance, like their most savage forms. Both have unique advantages, and the ideal way is situation-based.

Is it better to carve or capture for gems?

It depends. If the gem is carvable off the monster's body, then the probability of getting one increases when you put together the quest rewards chances plus those three carve chances. If you can't carve it off the monster's body, capture it for the higher chances in quest rewards.
