Which Lv 1, 2, or 3 quest gives you Armor Sphere again?
And do I have to keep killing R. Ludrouth to get the R. Ludrouth Tail, because I keep getting everything else. :/

How do you slice off tails? Do you have to hit the tail enough, like how you break their heads from usually hitting the heads enough?
Man, going into the powderstone quest unprepared is not fun. :lol I failed a bunch of times: once because I pressed the wrong button at the chest, causing me to put down the stone (which promptly explodes) and the second time I was steps away from the last zone with the rock and I dropped it for no apparent reason (I think I wasn't watching my stamina, but still).
Other times my heat resistance would wear off mid trip, causing me to take damage from the stone and the heat, or a big monster would find me and mess me up.
I finally took my old Hunter's armor set, put a +4 transporter charm with it, put in a bunch of decorations to activate transporter, and made that my "these egg quests are stupid" armor set. Now I can see where any big guys are and avoid them, plus I'm more efficient when carrying things. The low armor isn't much of a problem because I don't plan on engaging anything in a fight anyways.
I went back and did the wyvern egg one with this set and I'm REALLY happy I didn't attempt it without it. There were a couple times there where I'd narrowly avoid walking right into a Rathian that was flying around because of the auto tracker.
With those done I now have more then enough commendations, so that means I only need one more firestone and I can make the skull mask (which I didn't know existed before it appeared at the blacksmith). Cool stuff!

Yeah, just use a bladed weapon enough times and it'll fly off. The monster animation after having it sliced is just awesome.
I am online now! Send me a message in-game!
Not on the list? Add yourself in this thread.
There is a +4/-2 later but it involves High Rank items. Unless I'm reading the wrong skill namesRuneFactoryFanboy said:
Another option (if the chest piece has better + than -) is to use some armor with the Torso boost (Skull Mask, Alloy Legs, some other legs that I know of but am blanking on) to make up your difference.
I see them every once in a while as a quest reward, so I save them and bring them with me anytime we do Goldenfish fishing.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:

Okay, I'll be in, time for my first Online match, you have Wii Speak?
Edit: You do. Give a moment, do I have to be at a specific room?
Edit: I'm in Gate 3, I sent ya a message and waiting for a reply I guess!
Woah, disconnected. I should take a break anyways. I've had an all day marathon session.
Yesterday I was still really off with my trapping skills, now I am a trapping god. Also getting the hang of the lance. Pretty much I hold down R and pray anytime shit goes down.
Seems to work so far.

I'm starting to love using the Lance, especially for underwater fights. Instead of trying to awkwardly dodge you can just take hits like a champ.
One thing I find odd is that if you are stationary while blocking, your stamina does not regenerate... however if you are moving forward while blocking, it does. Is there any advantage to standing still while blocking versus moving? Right now it seems like you'd always want to be moving because that way you can keep your stamina up.

Tail slicing is one of the best feelings ever. Just watching that thing pop off and flip around is soooo good. Especially R. Ludroth, since that thing just cries out to be sliced. And when he tries do his tail swipe he even looks back at it and wiggles the stump all disappointed. :lol
On the opposite end of the spectrum, taking down a Quropeco in online the other day, I busted its beak open for the first time... and it was actually pretty gross. It's all... torn, and the barely connected beak fragments and soft tissues underneath bounce up and down as the 'peco hops. It's really nasty.

Yes, it's an event quest. I don't know when it ends but I'm sure you'd be fine jumping online, even if you are a bit inexperienced, just to do that quest. If you know how to fight a G. Jaggi you should have no problems with this quest (they come at your group one at a time.)

The monsters online are a bit harder though, since 4 players can take them on at once.
And the Jaggi event quest has you fighting four of them.

Oh I was so close to beating the Barroth + Great Jaggi level 4 quest. Took down G. Jaggi in just 5 minutes with the first forged long sword. Then got Barroth limping away to dig himself into area 1 where he clobbered me (got stuck in adobe effect and he head butted me - where's cha cha when you need him ?) after using up all of my potions and herbs up in the previous area. It also didn't help that a Quropeco appeared in the same area as Barroth and wouldn't leave for the first 10 minutes.
I'll bring my demon drug potion next time and use sword and shield as well.

*jaggi mask slowly descending from thin air onto smug hunter*
deal with it
Just FYI i did the event quest (hunt 4 great jaggi) and got a jaggi head as an after quest reward, since the event quests seem to payout a lot better than normal quests so it might be easy to farm heads there.
edit: had a great party though Harlowe and someone else, had an electrical sword and was paralyzing each jaggi, it was a breeze.
edit: wait is the event quest the only way to get a jaggi head? interesting... if so i look like an idiot

If you're soloing it and still want some heads, you can quit after just killing two Jaggis (through the bed) and still get enough for a mask.
I just did the event quest for 4 Great Jaggis+1 Qurupeco. Wasn't really hard, no one died and i never had to use any of my mega potions, the 3 first-aid kits that i got from the quest were enough. Didn't get anything special in my rewards, not sure if it was worth it lol. What's so special about event quests? But it sure was fun to play online for once. By the way, how the hell do i post messages? I saw a message option in the online menu with the "-" button, but it looked more like a mailbox than anything. :lol
Wow quadruple jaggi heads, and 2 flint stone for a free hunt
EDIT: Wow...wiispeak is really acting up tonight...
Event quests might have specialized monsters in them (giant, small, or odd numbers) and they give either rare stuff, or 1 time rare items (like that jaggi head to make the jaggi mask, which ups how much stuff you get from quests).

Whew, that was amazing!
Shame Wii Speak wasn't working well, I'm not sure if it was just Tek, me, or both?
