What is the deal with these ancient/rusted shards? I've probably collected about 10+ rusted shards during my MH career and around 3 ancient shards total. What is the chance that they'll be something useful (ie. a rusted sword/lance/whatever). Mine all turn out to be junk weapons. =/

Anything that have the word 'Worn' after appraised are good weapons.

Did the "catch the two Barroth" event quest. God I hate those things, I always forget about the tail swing after they charge at you.

Gotta love when Rathalos do that attack with its claws that BOTH stun & poison you. If you're below 50% HP when he does that, you're almost as good as dead because you know he's gonna charge your ass before you can get rid of the stun and the poison will have already hurt you enough as it is, and it STILL continue to drain your health after that.

Poison is really my most hated status in this game, followed closely by Stun. Getting both of those at the same time is not cool at all. And i have to farm this dragon for its plate. *cry*

Fortunately, i do the quest in the starting Island zone, not the volcano, so i dont have to worry too much about heat, and the camp is always close enough to take a nap + first aid meds from the easy subquests. Great Jaggi & Qurupeco aren't much of a threat.

Thanks for helping me with the Barroth urgent quest guys.

I love playing this game with GAF. :)

No problem, glad to help :D

Me and Jason/Chopper Dave took down Rathian, that was pretty epic considering I had a hammer and he had a bowgun. I took out the legs and he just kept up a constant barrage till the damn thing went down

Woohoo! I'm no longer a rookie. I'm an "elite hunter".

I guess I should start work on leveling up my armor and farming more items for the journey ahead.

Oh god, it's the 1st time i see a Rathian joining the fight on the "The Omen" offline quest, which is just fighting Rathalos in an unstable zone. All i saw up until now was Great Jaggis and Qurupecos, so it was a bit of a "you kidding me right" moment, but the damn Rathian just keep following Rathalos!! And whenever Rathalos is separate from Rathian, if he roar, Rathian will come.

Fighting 2 of these in the same zone sure is challenging.

Great games Faust & Selenae! Sorry for some of my hammer hits, haven't played with one in quite some time :p
Click to expand...
Hey guys, it was great fun! Soneet, sorry you had to put up with the infernal duo's antics. I thought it was hilarious however how they left, we started cussing them out, then one came back, we kept cussing them out. And only THEN we noticed he was back.
"Oh.... hey... ahem... sup? wb, holmes!" :)

But that guy really isnt bad, his friend is the real pain. If u noticed he actually went invisible, which i'm guessing means he himself was getting annoyed with his mate.

Oh, and come on! I hit you way more than u hit me! I'm the one who should be apologizing!

windfish said:
yeah i dont mind getting hit now and then, its just part of the mechanic and we owned rathalos so much today it was just fun (and always is, playing in a carring and capable team).
Playing with Hunter as a Gunner was helping too since there was no other swordsman hacking and slashing around los feet and hitting each other!
oh and btw iam serious we should try to take on JOE in the near future!! Don't stop believin'!!! ;D
Click to expand...
Yeah, having a gunner makes it easier, more room and less clusterfudge. He was wrecking all sort of shit up too! I dont know what kind of explosive shot that was but he kept getting us openings by making los twitch! Delicious!
And yeah, i kinda agree with you on the joe thing. Los and giggi and uragaan and so on are all cute and all, but we almost never get a real epic fight anymore. Most fights last 15, 20 mins at most (lagi for example). I wouldnt mind sinking my teeth into something a little more expansive. Also, wearing a + set, joe doesnt really hit THAT hard. We should try on that capture +quru quest, he almost always seems to call joe in.

I need to grind about 1800 HRP to get to HR 40 and open up my five-star quests (already cleared the los/ian urgent). Anyone up for a couple of quick beatdowns? Peco or Jaggi or Ludroth or whatever.

Thinking about getting that Logitech Wii USB keyboard for this. Is it worth it? does anyone else have it?
Click to expand...
I'm using it and it's great. I didn't want a big huge keyboard so this tiny one was perfect for me. I use it for my PC too (but it's only good for chatting because some of the keys are weird so it's not good if you want to actually work/program with it).

Playing with people who won't heal is so annoying when you're on 3* quests. A single (random) player getting three deaths from an Uragaan within 10 mins is just horrible. :/

I am in love with my Shadowbinder sword. Combined with my +10 SpeedSetup charm and some Flash Bombs I severely handicap monsters during our hunts. I've got a fantastic combo down where the minute I paralyze them I lay a Pitfall Trap at the monsters feet. The timing works out just right because the instant the paralysis wears off the Pitfall Trap is ready. The monster then falls into the trap and I've timed it so that when they break free a flash bomb explodes in their face. It's so much fun disabling a monster to that extent all of my own accord.

It does to less damage than my elemental swords but I think the trade off for enabling my 3 other party members to get constant hits in more than make up for my lack of damage.



I really really wish somebody would translate that Armor Skill calculator Tenbatsu posted a while ago. That would really help out a ton as I try to get some great skill sets.

Asked this question in the community thread, but wanted to ask this here (since this one seem to be much more alive, and hopefully can give me answer faster)
Do I need to do anything to active my Wii Speak ? Got the device, but not sure how to use it.

I am having problem with my Wii right now (couldn't read any Wii game disc, but able to read GC game disc), so I need to have it repaired before I can play MH3 some more and get online with it.

I think you have to install the Wii Speak channel if you want to tweak it outside MH, but MHTri will detect it automatically once you start the game. You will see it light up blue and you can configure the settings some once in the game

also, you will need to be registered friends with someone else who also has wiispeak in order to talk to each other.

you'll probably just get a keyboard and use it exclusively though, wiispeak on MH is not that great.

It comes with a code to download the Wii Speak Channel. You can configure the settings in that, but I'm not sure if that's just the settings for the channel, or the games that use it as well.

So, I have a funny John TV story.

He doesn't have cool drinks and he's mining up on the rock bridge the veggie elder hangs out on. He mentions this, but probably figures that he'll use potions to recover his health.

I'm in the area and offer him a cool drink. He's probably doing the spamming the default action button thing that most gatherers do and accepts the cool drink without realizing it. It doesn't occur to me that he didn't notice.

Several seconds later he realizes he has a cool drink and doesn't have any idea how it ended up in his item bag. He's praising the HR god that gives him the rare drops that he takes from Kyoufu.

I didn't manage to magicially give to John a tuna bait I got from the veggie elder, though.

I laughed when that went on :lol :lol

His MH God really does take the rares from me and gives it to him, haha. Curse his luck!

Good games by the way. I'm hoping to get some Agnaktor farming done sometime as the Qurupeco set isn't all that great for lancing :(

Yeah sorry I disappeared before saying goodbye, the game froze on me when I went to sit down for a meal :/

Can anyone recommend a good mix of armour sets that has a good selection of resistances? I currently have a full Jaggi and full Rhenoplos set.

Gonna upgrade my switch axe from Assault Axe+ to Rough Edge now, I think.
