Hopping on. People join for HR2 fun!
So this is the streetpass thing? You run into people and get an AI version of them?

I just spent half an hour looking for a huge pile of shit, and went back to town disappointed that I could not find it.
Supposedly killing the big Aponoths drops Super Sized Dung, but I can't for the life of me find any, help?
EDIT: Also, I'm playing on WiiU...what are guild cards? I seem totally ignorant of that entire thing.

The answer to all "What armor should I make?" questions is: whatever would provide the bonuses you most want for your weapon against the monster(s) you are going to hunt.
Check the "Moga Report" with Junior. Big Aponoths only appear when "Herbivore Breeding" is taking place. You will get Super-Sized Dung as one of your resources when you provide your report to Junior.
Talk to chief's son and generate resources for ssdung.

For the dung, just kill one big when it says "Herbivore breeding".

Yeah, done that about a dozen times. Nothing.
Not the big ones, the giant ones. And ya, only when herbivores are breeding. Not a drop but a reward when you convert kills to resources from junior, I mean the Chiefs son.

OH NO FUCKING SHIT NOT NOW - NOT NOW
Hahahahahahaha. Oh man, this reaction has to be the best in this thread. I bet everyone had this reaction for the first time, including myself.

What's the easiest way to get Monsterbone L? I thought Barroth had them, but I've killed him 4 times now and haven't gotten any! I need to make his boots!

1. Go out into the woods when Herbivores are breeding.
2. Check the area that Aponoths hang in.
3. Find one that's really huge, like twice your height.
4. Kill it. Kill multiple if you want.
5. Go back to the village.
6. Talk to junior and collect your resources.
7. SSDung will be in these resources.
You have to go back to the village, report your hunt, then you get items in return. That is where the dung will be.

Being on Wii-U, I get them online. But yeah you get an AI and then you get a list of missions that you send them on for various items. It seemed to get awhile for them to get back but hey, free items.

Ughhh....I thought it was a drop. Went back, and bam, had 5. Thanks people.
So I have a Peco Flint and Barroth Hammer, but can't decide what to aim for next. I'm especially lost on Armor. I'm pretty sure I want Fast Charge, Evasion Up, and Evasion +2. Are there any new skills since Tri that help a hammer user as well? HGE is always a thing too, I guess.
Also had a good time playing with some folks last night. Jason, Lanze, remista(sp?), and another guy whose name I've forgotten(sorry!).

Look for a butterfly flying around; if you have a Bug Net, you can start catching bugs.
What he said. The Insect capturing spots will always have butterflies flying around. It'll be very obvious when you see it.
Ok I'm ready for some online hunt, I'll join.

The demo (from what I played) explained next to nothing. The full game is a bit better about that, but it's still pretty complicated. Played online a bit last night and the community was very kind and willing to answer my questions.
So...am I the only one that has more or less avoided Barroth weapons entirely? This dates back to my days in Tri as well, I've always shied away from them thanks to the negative affinity that they produce, reasoning that a game like this where successful hits are at a premium, that a weapon which has the potential to dole out weaker hits never seems to be a good choice. They never struck me very well in the sharpness department either, so against well-armored monsters I've never seen what the real benefit is to them.
Is anyone out there a Barroth weapon fan that can help me figure out the appeal?

Barroth weapons suck due to the negativity affinity and a waste of time. I think the appeal might be is that they're easy to make or something.
Just saw Tyeforce "currently playing MH3U Packet Relay". This guy is like the McGyver of Nintendo, always finding complicated ways of playing!

I feel your pain.
With joy?
For those that get overwhelmed the best advice is this...
Take it slow and grind a bit. If you can successfully down a particular monster, grind them a bit to make sure you have their armor and weapon. Not only does it cement your hunter prowess over that lowly beast but it also gets you ready for the next challenge. There are no penalties for collecting and making all kinds of weapons and armor.
Collecting Herbs, honey and everything else will help you in the long run! Don't forget in Solo mode, the farm is super useful for resource collecting.

Me too. I'm starting to feel like starting on 3DS wasn't such a good idea, since the camera controls are bunk and the touch screen panels business is just... bizarre. I figured I'd be safe getting a handheld version given that the series did so well on PSP, but yeesh.
I'm totally lost, but I'm having fun at least. I just have zero idea what I should be doing.
Hunting monsters yo!
Relax...this is natural.
There is a hell of a lot going on in Monster Hunter at first glance, but after a little bit of experience a lot of it will start to come to you really easily. The flow of preparing, hunting, and then using the results of that hunt to improve your gear for the next preparation really digs its claws in once you get a grasp of the basics.
One super-helpful thing that I learned last night: While you're in Tanzia Port you can talk to Neko (means "cat") by the port entrance and actually access your farm and fishing fleet straight from there. This applies when you're playing with others online, too. Super-helpful if you want to maintain your flow of herbs and honey and other such items even during long stretches playing online, something you could not do in Tri.
Did not know that! Pretty awesome.
Damn you MH-GAF. I am super pumped for more Tri.
UK based so hopefully online by tomorrow evening if all goes well!join us! free game 3 lobby 07 GAF2

I'll join for gathering =P need a load of stuff for new weapon lol, right now my equips are mix and match XD
Yes!
I really like the bow in theory, but it ain't fun to use. Well except the barrage thing but that needs timing skills. No idea what weapon I should go, swords seem boring
Sorry, I jumped online with Palutena and completely started ignoring this thread. Haha. Next time, but now I have to clean up.
