Just to confirm, the only way to get +materials is to play the online quests HR31 and up?
Because I just unlocked those (Jhen Moran fight = EPIC), but balancing online and offline quests was a huge part of the appeal for me. Not sure if I want to keep playing if I have to go online only in the future (all my weapon upgrade trees arrived at the point where +materials are needed).

It's the original name used for the 2nd level online only quests, later used by Capcom to describe the JP version of the international MH, that added the dual swords (which weren't in the JP version) as well as the color variant raths.Haunted said:
Longswords are awesome. I never use block much anyway, so the agility + power (+ paralysis on this one) is much appreciated.
Have failed the capture barroth quest so many times. Trapped too early the first 2 times, then the last 3 times we've killed it because the trap holder has left it too late (despite comments like "who has the trap?", "it's a capture quest remember" etc. etc.)

Im so annoyed i missed a week of online hunting. now the rest of PAL gaf is ahead of me. Faust, if your reading, do you now hang out in the expert servers? cos everytime and try and warp to you it says HR mismatch
twas a good night tonight tho, don't think i did too badly taking on uraguaan for the first time. There were a couple of rocky moment like 'jesus christ this thin moves fast' and 'what the hell, this guy can eject sleeping gas ??!?
still we took it down in then end, and it was awesome. We will have to arrange a big raid night like before hope to see you guys tommorow night
btw faust, if you have to leave mid raid i'd advise running to an area with normal termerature so that you don't die as soon as the cool drink runs out:lol

I think i've hit the "played to much MH" line, or maybe its the high rank grind mid 30s, or the 140 hour mark.
Grinding for 3% drops....
Fighting the same stuff...
Online player pet peeves... (hint: theres more than one way to play the game)
I think I OD'd on MH3 compared to the earlier versions.
Well the launch week and week after were magical
I feel like I have to get to 40 before Red Dead comes out heh.

If you're right up in his face, you can time a guard advance with his first hop and you'll get right behind him. Then you can just walk around him until he's done. If he only does 2, you wouldn't have to walk around at all to avoid getting tagged...but there's no real way of knowing how many he does (at least I didn't notice anything).
That's just how I go about it anyways. Right now I'm playing with a friend using msn to communicate, game's taken almost 40 hours of my life through casual play alone.

It'll also work even if he is far away. It looks like he's homing at you, but he's just really locking on the spot that you're standing on. Just make sure to keep the camera focused on him and go to his side like you're trying to circle around him. It's 100% fool-proof!

Re: qurupecco and lances
1. Try to stay just far nough in front of him to hit him in the beak, if he's singing you can move in for his chest and you'll be outside the range fir his explosion move.
2. Fire clap combo -- shield dash under his legs and you'll completely dodge it. He can't turn all the way around. OR walk to the side, he'll miss you, take shorter dashes and you'll be able to hit him more.
3. Hitting him in the face while he's in the air will almost always cause him to fall.
4. His softest point for lances is his chest. You're a lancer, be a man and always face him from the front.

You know what worse? Having a Deviljho randomly show up in 50% of elite quests. That guy is brutal

So my gf has taken over my mh. She started an SNS character and has killed/capped great jaggi in her single player a few times. We went on the SHABBY co-op missions and she actually died less than me (I'm 43 or so hr and have played all of the mh's so far.) She's actually enjoying the game which is so cool to watch. Have to say she always finds a way to get interested in what i'm into and she pretty much rocks.
Just wish i could play my file..

It depends on your playing style actually. In general:demonkaze said:
Lance - Guard Boost, Guard +, Resist wind, Constitution, Evade Distance, Mind's Eye, Razor Sharp
Hammer/LS - Focus (Shorten hammer charge time and shorten LS gauge fill time)
Only one more for Uragan if I remember correctly.Hiltz said:

Bisnic said:Does snuggling the pig really improve my chances at loot? I've been reading this in some forums and been wondering if it's true.
But everytime i try to snuggle it, it gets mad at me and run away.
First I've heard about the pig having any affect on loot. As for snuggling it successfully, watch for an exclamation point to appear, then tap "a" (I think) right away to make it happy. It's another timing mini game.
I'd love to know once and for all (maybe an organized NeoGAF effort?) whether snuggling the pig does anything. We should set up an easy quest and get everyone to equip the same gear and just repeat it a few hundred times with everyone logging their results (maybe 10 tries per player with pig, 10 times without).

I really Really want to get into gunning. I tried it out and I really like it, but the only things holding me back from diving in are-
-Having to make/upgrade a completely new set of gear.
-Not knowing which 3 pieces are the best to make.
Also the ammo system seems a bit hard to just jump into. I don't know which ammo do the best damage; which what the combinations are; what ammo I should have for my current level.
Its all a bit scary to just get into.

A simple google search would answer it. It increases your chance at getting an extra reward item in Freedom and it does here as well.
Didn't have much time to play today.
What a relief to finish the offline powder stone quest since I failed it 4 times. Uragaan roared twice which broke it, an insect attacked my characters leg in area 1 which resulted in the stone dropping , and the stone exploded right before I could place it in the red box). It was so frustrating.
I found 3 mysterious charms from mining. However, one of the failed attempts made me lose 2 ruststones which I hear is rare.

Defintely want to farm Peco + for his wide-range armor skill...armor...for when i use sword/shield.
Also tried a new weapon with my Jhen Armor ( fast charge), a Red Wing Great Sword. It was fun though there were no tails to cut off ( used it on peco and great jaggi). Next i want a hammer.
