I just registered myself for online and got my ID. name is jrricky.
Also, I saw the servers while online, are those the only ones (since it doesnt look like a lot)? What if they are all full, cant play online?
I am trying to understand armory too, what are skill points that are for each armor, how do you figure?

He shouldn't spawn too many Jaggi's at a time, try not to fight him in the nest, that might be your problem if you're getting that many.
You can hit him with a dung bomb to make him flee a zone, although I don't think it works if it's enraged at the time (monsters will have some form of graphic to let you know they're pissed off and they usually move faster).
If you're having trouble adapting to the G.Sword at first, just use a lot of hit and runs until you're more comfortable with it's weight and the patterns on the boss. Unsheathe attacks get bonus damage.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I must be an idiot because I am having trouble finishing the "Farm Aid" quest. I can only fin 4 out of the 5 Jaggia. I found one in area 5 and three in area 6. The last one? Have no fricken clue where it is. I've looked in every area now.
Some help please?
Edit: never mind, restarted quest and he showed up. weird.

I can't freaking wait for this game. Out next week in Aus.
I have played around on one of the games on the PSP - but as soon as this was announced saved myself for it - seems like the kind of game that would be better on a big screen. Looking forward to losing myself for a weekend in this game.
I just know that I am going to suck balls hard though. Think I will spend the majority of my time offline to start with. Figure out all the weapons and amour.
Between this and the recent release of Rune Factory - my wii is going to be getting a lot of action.

Those were both epic attempts man. I had a ton of fun making sure i wasnt the weak link. And we had that one guy who was pretty bad about getting hit all the time and not healing. Also id kill an actual human for a headset that works with wii. REALLY felt odd using wiispeak and the quality wasnt good enough for me to think otherwise. Always felt like i was yelling

I killed a great Jaggi solo today. God what a rewarding feeling.

Ugh, I didn't know amazon takes so long to do stuff. They won't even ship the stuff I ordered until next tuesday so maybe by next weekend I'll have my stuff? They suck without prime. :/
Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
I finally tried out the Prime trial for this... it's pretty goddamn amazing I must say. If I used Amazon more it'd really be worth it.
Granted it's looking like it wouldn't have mattered if I didn't get the game til tomorrow, but whatever...
That is- the reason I haven't posted my impressions of the game yet is that I am embroiled in a ridiculous Wii homebrew saga involving two Wiis, two sd cards, and three hard drives. But I hope to be able to play the game before I go into work at 2 AM or roughly 3 hours away....

I let mine lapse the other week because I don't have the money to renew right now. I sure don't remember them being this sucky...

Is anyone else having online crashing problems as well? Sorry if this has been asked.

I might be... If I'm out and some place has the bundle I might cancel at this point. Waiting until may 8th is a joke.
Early on its a bit tricky as you have no charm in your possession so the mixing is pretty limited. Basically:sprsk said:
1. You think of what role and playing style you want to be (miner, swimmer etc)
2. Look for matching skills Eg. Miner: 'HiSpdGathr + Gathering + Whim' they are a set but you can also include compatible skills like 'Fate' or 'Carving'
3. Scan thru your charm (if you have them) and armors
4. Do a bit of calculation and try to mix and match to execute the skills
Yes, negative usually results in a negative effect.PounchEnvy said:
For CC1, you need to block before using item. The other two controls scheme you can just eat by pressing the item use button.Teknoman said:

You realize the monster list isn't for monsters you have killed, right? It's for monster who you have 'registered'. You do this (for classic control 1) by opening your hunter's notes menu, then point the remote at the screen, press B, hover over the monster you want to register, press A (while still holding B), then move the cursor to the lower right, where it will say something like "monster list", and let go of A.
It's easier than it sounds after you do it a couple times. Not ideal, but not terrible either.
Also, I captured the great jaggi on my first try. with my last trap, my last 2 tranq bombs, and under 3 minutes left. man i was pumped.

Kelbi horns? I got them by stunning them, they fall right over and you can carve them despite them still being alive, you seem to always get a horn that way, sometimes even blue kelbi horns.
To stun them, I used a GS, one blunt side slap attack and they fall right over.
jrricky said:
I'm using Sword/Shield and it seemed to help to knock them out with the shield and then farm for an item. I had much better success that way.
Also, HOLY SHIT at the Monster Guts quest. I nearly shit my pants...
Lagicrus spotted me in 11 and I went back to 10 to finish collecting the Monster Guts. As soon as I finished, the music got tense and I turned around to see the HUGE FUCKER swimming towards me! I booked it to the shore turning the camera facing me so I could see him cutting through the water towards me. He then got distracted by the harmless monsters there and I thought I was home free. Just as I got out of the water his HEAD suddenly came out and took a huge chunk from me. FREAKED ME THE FUCK OUT. This paragraph doesn't convey how intense it was. Seriously. Damn.

The HR system is totally revised with MH3.
So HR1-8 is 1 star quests online.
HR 9 - ? is 2 star etc.
So Ive been playing a lot since release but there are already 11s out there. Getting credit for any quest done towards HR rank (as its now raised by quest points) makes it go up quicker than the old days too. The randoms I was playing with last night are already 10.
The USB reference is over my head

So I assume you can't take your offline character online with his gear and stuff? lol
Edit: Wait, nvm, I still have my gear! Yay!

Ahh yea my brain needs refueling lol, I wasnt thinking of keyboards. I have a kb but its missing the USB converter end.
I was considering picking up the wireless kb for the Wii as I dont think Im taking the risk on Wii speak. I have some good preset messages though, brings back the vibe of the PSO days.
If anyone needs help starting or whatever I have a room up in Recruiting, Wisdom 1 - City Gate 40

Good God! I hated that! After I got to safety on land I turned to my sister... 20 second blank stare :lol The music was crazy and the annoying startling sound effect almost killed me haha.I Push Fat Kids said:
Anyway I think I have 10+ hours in so far~ oh man. Killed a bunch of great jaggis... in order to buy a new GS. Jesus two on the same map makes the kill last forever since I refuse to fight both fatties at the same time.
So far I'm just getting used to collecting stuff and combining. I'm going to make a million great potions because I'm still gonna get hit a lot in the future.

Alright, think I might try my hand at online play. Is there a GAF room or anything up? I have a keyboard. Will be on in a bit.
Teknoman said:
haha I was thinking "ultimate sword and board?" too much MH on the brain over the last two days.
my vote is for wisdom 1 only for name really lol. In MH games I always picked the last room in a lobby for some reason, which for MH3 is Gate 40.
The servers are broken down into multiple lobby types: Recruiting (looking for people), Open (everyone), beginner and expert. Expert requires a HR rank but I dont know what it is right now.
Kyuuketsu_Night said:
I never used them in past games, but dung bombs seem to be pretty key in MH3 for getting one monster to leave an area. I need to use them more lol.
and the Wii has officially jacked my PC keyboard:lol
