Monster Hunter 3 Tri |OT| Animal Cruelty Made Fun

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention regarding the Gigginox strat I posted earlier: from what I heard, you should have at least one target for Gig to track because if it's getting beat up and he can't sense who's doing it, he'll just start spewing poison all over the place which can get pretty messy.
Again, big grains of salt as this is all second-hand info and I haven't verified it for myself.
I just started on the online 3* quests so I need to catch up on my offline where I still need to hunt Lagi. I'd like to get a full Baggi set but those damn ice crystals are hard to find.
Oh, and fuck powderstones.

Look at the ones that say "key quests". Those are the only ones you need to do to open up the next level of quests.
Many gathering quests are not key quests, and there's no reason to do them unless you're simply trying to complete every quest.
EDIT: Although you may already know that...since 1 star does have a couple gathering quests that are key quests.

I think I'm going to have to put this rumour to the test tomorrow morning. Sounds plausible but part of me still thinks the team just wouldn't go to the effort to program a custom behaviour like that.explodet said:
Well on the topic of Gigginox tips, here's one I figured out myself. It's not as fancy as a hidden exploit but it's something I've been meaning to share regardless.
If you want to break Gigginox's chest (which you will need to, along with it's head, to get Fearsome Maws) with a Hammer, the best angle to strike at is just behind it's wings. Almost all your strikes will hit it's chest from here, including the super pound. The risk to this strategy is belly flops are difficult to dodge and poison belly flops are near impossible, so make sure you keep your health high and pack the antidotes.

Those suggestions would explain why, and this is something I only noticed recently, Gigginox would go running towards any torch I'd light in the cave right after I lit it -- and would just keep a bee line going for that torch long after I left its location. Most other monsters would attempt to strike you if you met them halfway on their path to you, but Gigginox runs right past me and to the torch I lit. So, I think that much is valid.

Some good hunts Faust and Sar!
I'd like to share something, as almost everyone gets surprised by it:
If you play online a lot, use TAB on your keyboard in the text-input to whisper people, even people in the lobby. Using this in combination with lobby chat turned on (in online options), you can communicate with people while you're in a quest. This is great because with lobby chat on you can see who enters and leaves and you can read their chat perfectly. I usually tell people how long it takes before the quest is done. Or I just abandon the quest if I just started.

This sounds very useful.Soneet said:
Is there a way to tell if you've whispered something?

20% chance to deal 25% less damage on an attack.
If it was +20% affinity instead, then you'd have a 20% chance to deal 25% MORE damage. Its basically a critical hit stat.
As for thunderbugs, I ended up buying like 300 of them from the peddler online, but its rare for him to sell them.

Some locations are better than others. Volcano has two bug gathering spots right by the base camp and both of them can yield thunderbugs, so that's probably a good place to hit up if you're going to be doing some mining anyway.Nicktals said:

a good rule of thumb is that the further away from camp, the bigger chance of getting a thunderbug. The white butterflies have a bigger chance of giving thunderbugs than the yellow, at least in the first set of missions.
The vendor right at the entrance of town sells them from time to time, and you can load up then.
My one issue with the game, and its not really with the game itself, is that I have so little time to play during the week, especially online, that I'm really really behind (only at 9), and so consequently its a struggle finding people to play with, at least in the gaf server.

If we played it as little as you did, you'd have posted about struggling to find any people on the gaf server.schuelma said:
