WTF is.... Charm tables? What's this about some number having 20,000 and others having 800? Someone care to explain?

Quoted from this Pastebin

Q: What are charms?
A: Charms are equipment with a dedicated slot that grant no offensive or defensive bonus. Instead, they only offer skill points which can be crucial in making a set of armor with the skills you want.

Q: How do I get charms?
A: Higher rank (and some lower rank) quests give charms as rewards. Mining in areas such as the Tundra or the Volcano can also reward charms. Which specific charms you actually get is incredibly random.

Q: How many charm tables are there and which ones are the best?
A: There are 17 charm tables available. 5 of these 17 tables (11, 12, 15, 16, 17) are considered the "cursed" tables because they contain between just 200 and 800 possible charms and are generally mediocre if not straight up bad; if you care at all about charms (and you probably will if you play long enough) avoid these tables like the plague.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I would like to give programming a Charm Table checker for offline use but I have no idea how the heck the online application is even working, or how I would get the information I needed from the game to check.

That would be incredible. However, I have no idea how you would get the info, particularly given that the original site that I believe runs the actual spreadsheet is in Japanese anyway.

Yeah, that's the big problem. Since I have no idea what actually goes on behind the scenes this whole thing could be well beyond my programming ability right now. I've got ideas as to how it might work, but none of that matters much.

 

[Prade]

If people follow this video to a tee, they should land on table #10. Generally considered the best table for end game charms.

 

[Hiltz]

Is there a known reason why Capcom decided to include this so-called "charm table" in this game ? What's the point ?

Might just be a glitch. It was actually in Tri too. The only difference is the table would reset whenever you turned the game back on.

 

[Teknoman]

Drowning Shaft or Cerberus Katana?

Personally I say both, but then again I like to have a collection of weapons ready.

Oh. I didn't realize that.

As a programmer... this is waaaaaay too specific to be a glitch. I think they implemented this to make characters unique. Sorta like IV in Pokemon.

Yeah, it makes sense to have multiple loot tables for these things, it's a behind the scenes way to make players a little different.

Now, as to why they'd make some of the loot tables absolutely terrible, I don't know. Outside of wanting to be a dick, I guess.

Any ideas as to why the loot you receive from the Fishing Fleet seems to be tied to the table?

 

[dubq]

Lagi is going down next time! Damn electro hip smash...

OMG seriously! That was brutal!

 

[Filth]

Ill make another room. Hr 3

Phantasy Star Online had the Section IDs, but you had greater control of that.

 

[polg]

What are good wikis for the game?
My xp is only around 20 hours on Tri on the wii and want to be prepared for this one

 

[Busaiku]

Ugh, wish I could skip the FMVs.

 

[Proc]

Finally, I get to transfer my data. sigh...

I made a room "Welp"
You guys are welcome to join me if you want.

Dumb question...how did you get it to transfer? I can't find the app anywhere on the ds shop.

 

[Chance Hale]

What path does one recommend for the hunting horn? 10 hours of playtime(get rid of a bit for idle) and I'm still using the default metal bagpipe :/ Have forged many new armors at the least.

Search Monster Hunter, it'll be the first item that shows up. Surprised it still isn't on the front page.

 

[Proc]

Thank you! Kept looking at the front page and the game page. You rock.

 

[Ken]

Sorry I didn't make it to your room earv. Underestimated HR4 urgent ;_;

 

[Crapitalism]

How the hell do I get to the online cities???

 

[RuinerPrime]

Oh man, Magic: the Gathering night is at serious risk of turning into Monster Hunter night. We just spent four hours playing with two 3DS copies and a WiiU copy.

It's funny you mentioned that, I was just at FNM and some one was playing monster hunter on a 3DS.


...it wasn't you was it? O.O

Its like 6th even in the new items tab. It really need some central placement or under the main game

My job hosts them... I wish there were more monster hunters there....

 

[Tomat]

I think the boat in the left side of the first village takes you to them.

 

[Codeblue]

Finally got local running and played two and a half hours of it. Super fun stuff.

Talk to Neko and select "Network". Once you're in a lobby select "Enter Room" and pick one.

 

[Apdiddy]

I don't have a Wii U, but what's the consensus on the Wii U version?

 

[Filth]

I don't have a Wii U, but what's the consensus on the Wii U version?

the better version :x

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

What are Tears used for?

Edit: I'm not exactly sure if I'm playing the game 100% right ( first time ) but I'm having a lot of fun.

Thanks for some reason I thought that was for playing along with 3 3DS's

 

[Raide]

Defeated my first Qurrupeco. Man, was he tough and did not die easily. Even when limping. Cheater had a Great Jaggi hanging around him too which made things even more tough.

Still, I get why people love this game. I feel like a badass now. The Great Jaggi who once was a tough boss is more of an annoyance now.

Still gotta beat that Barroth. It ain't gonna be easy.

That is seriously the best thing about MH. The feeling of downing a monster that was hard, only to be replaced by another fear...which you overcome. Magical.#]

Are you adventuring around the world, killing and skinning things, as well as mashing bugs, collecting honey and mining? Do you find yourself talking to NPC's over and over, or spending way too much time farming?

Yup, you're playing it fine.

 

[Alcotholic]

I don't have a Wii U, but what's the consensus on the Wii U version?

Both are great. the wii u version has online though.

 

[Mr. Matthew]

Does anybody know where Eurogaf meets? I wanna hunt with some of you guys

 

[Snapshot King]

Alright, Jaggi set, Azuros set, and now finally done my Qurupecos set. Though I suppose my need to have a "perfect" set, including a weapon made from said Monster is probably not for the best, man do I not care. Hell, got me to try out the Hunting Horn, after all.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Nice playing with a couple of GAF'ers earlier! Fun times.

 

[Snapshot King]

Hey, quick question. I have a friend dropping by tomorrow with his 3ds version. How in the world do you play multiplayer between WiiU and 3ds?

Go talk to Neko ("Neko" Means Cat) and go to the multiplayer tavern or marina. Have the 3DS version do a player search and voila.

So just hang out there, and the 3ds person will handle it on their end? Radical, thanks.

 

[Mr_Appleby]

Finally it's out here. I had to get drunk to pass the time yesterday so didn't crawl out of bed to pick it up until 2pm but it's in my 3ds now and I've just downed my first great jaggi of the game so things are on their way.

Three hours of local co-op on 3DS. Game of the forever.

Oh man, Magic: the Gathering night is at serious risk of turning into Monster Hunter night. We just spent four hours playing with two 3DS copies and a WiiU copy.

seriously, top-tier local co-op all up in this thing. Not that I have anything against internet play, but a couple of friends in the same room mashing pecco never gets old.

 

[SupaNaab]

If I go out and buy the Wii U version can my brother and I play on seperate saves? Then, if we bought a 3DS copy down the road could we transfer one of our saves to that version for co-op?

 

[Qurupeke]

Farming arzuros for braces... The + LS neds three...

There's three save slots. Also, I don't see why not, but I don't have both versions so I can't be sure.

EDIT: There anywhere in the game I can see what skills do what? I'm a bit lost at what some of these armour sets even do.

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

this game is a system seller.

 

[Qurupeke]

Arzuros nagnata+ is mine! Beautiful and powerful.

Noob question alert. To get these "sets" is it a matter of keep killing the same species of monster until you get enough drops and then go to the amourer to craft the gear?

Cheers, own both Wii abd 3DS but haven't actually got round to playing duh.

Yep but there's generally other bits required also that don't come from the monster and have to be farmed or gathered.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Wroggi S set is probably going to be one of the best High Rank armor sets for looks and skills:

I gemmed out Defense down and gemmed in Speed Sharpening. I got 275 defense total after upgrading it a few times as well.

 

[NeoRausch]

man I've totally forgot about skills and all that kraffafle,
today!

Thank you, I must get around to playing lol.
