I like the Moga Forest location for Carpenterbugs that someone gave earlier, but I found 3 IN A ROW yesterday while hunting Rhenopolis hides. I felt like a superstar.

Is the Speartuna sword any good? Hmm...
It's got decent attack, and Green Sharpness, but no slots.
I'm not sure if slots matter to you or not, but I figured I'd post that just in-case.
As for me, I'm going to try to get the Buster Blade.
They made things slightly less tedious by giving you some downloadable stuff like free resource points, a gathering armor set, and a beginner weapon of each type (12 total I think) instead of only the two beginner weapons in Tri. Otherwise, yes, the beginning is the same old grind as Tri.

But that isnt taking into effect monsters defense though. Melee has the advantage of multiplyers due to sharpness. That said, air flinch crashes are amazing for us tail cutters so thank you for gunning.
I just did my 2nd High Rank hunt. Did it alone. Two G Jaggies weren't tough at all. Am I correct in assuming that even if you go to solo the online quests (through 3DS) the monsters are still balanced for 4 hunters? I'm considering trying the crimson peco or purple ludroth.
One other question. Where can I get Bumblepumpkin? I have new armor to make

It's hard to imagine putting him on farm mode at this stage of the game isn't it?

Do armor spheres improve armor skills also?

Thanks for the advice! Also, what is a good weapon to use for someone who is new? I was thinking of using the long sword whenever I get a chance to start getting weapons.On your first few actual hunts, take some time to figure out the monster's patterns (give him some room, circle him at a safe distance). Then try to land hits without him hitting you too much: wait for him to do an attack, go in, cple of hits, then roll out of the way before he recovers.
Of course when he just stands there drooling, go to town, but in general, try to be wary of when and when not to go on the offensive. That's maybe one of the more important things to get early on.
Also, bring some potions and whetstones. And remember the five D's of monster hunting: Dodge, Duck, Dive, erh.. Roll, Dinosaur, and... yeah, I got nothing.
Actually, one last thing, practice the superman dive: sprint (with weapon sheathed, pressing R) away from the monster (you'll notice a goofy animation), then press roll. You're invincible during superman dive. If something is going to hit you for sure and you can see it coming (I'm thinking rathalos poison pounce, you'll see what I mean when you fight him), you sheathe your weapon and you time your superman dive to weasel out of it. I superman dive myself all the fucking time. Matter of fact, I probably spend more time flying through the air then actually fighting!
Edit: Final words, don't stay right in front of a monster. You want them to have to turn before launching their attack, gives you more time to see it coming.
Having "after" filtered was insane [from what I read].
So many misunderstandings...
You - "**** this, I'm going to get a drink."
Them - "...What did we say?"

It's not something I'd main but it'd be fun to bring it with when helping lower HR players online.
All of the above, depending on the specific bow/bowgun. If they can use the Slice ammo, then they can slice (although all Bow users have a slice melee move with A), if they can apply Poison / Paralysis / Sleep coating, they can do status, etc. They can also assist teammates by healing them with the appropriate ammo.
Ranged attackers are really great because they are usually the most potent status inducers for things like Sleep, and they can target very specific spots on a monster, that may be tough to reach for swords. The downside is their armour is much more vulnerable and they're tough to play by yourself when the monster is solely focused on you.

But they didn't filter out the more obvious ones eg "crap" lol
And seriously, it is 2013 and we still have 30-letters long sentence limitation?

I have a question. If I've been using the transfer tool between my 3ds and Wii U, and a friend transfers his 3ds game save to my Wii U while I have my save on 3ds, will that mess anything up after he sends his save back to his system?
Quoting myself because we have two slots free.

Bows use bowgun ammo too? That's disappointing. I was hoping the bow was mostly unique and separate from bowguns.
Bows use coatings. They don't use ammo.
X)
Don't make me feel like this lol, dammit I'm off GAF till my assignments done XD
I would have played more this afternoon but I got an headache.
Bows use coatings, which share some of the same effects as Bowgun ammo, but have different recipes and no levels.
"Slice" ammo? So, what you're saying is that I can shoot monsters and slice them at the same time?

I use it mainly to apply status. Paralyzed monster allow your team to deal HUGE damage online but it is useless offline because it's only you who do the damage. It is also important to know when to inflict status eg waiting till monster exhausted etc. Also, bow can constantly do damage without wasting time dodging because your team with draw aggro most of the time.

If I cancel a quest can I redo it?
My inventory is full and I want to cancel but afraid to do so in case I lose the quest

No. Bow normally do only impact damage.
The Argosy captain npc seems to have disappeared from my game. It's been 6+ days ingame and he has hasn't showed up in moga village. I've never used him before and he always used to camp next to the chief's son in town. Now that I need to use him for 3-4 items he is nowhere to be found :|

Am I the only one rocking the gunlance?
Really love that weapon, so versatile. Shooting quickly dispatches of smaller annoying enemies, good defensive options with the stab behind the shield and of course, the awesome Wyvern fire special attack for lots of damage in one shot.
Fucking love it, maybe even ahead of the Long Sword. I wonder why I never used it in Freedom Unite.

Gunner weapons do bullet damage, not counting additional effects.

Yeah, you can redo quests as many times as you want. I think the only penalty for quitting a quest is losing the money you spent on the quest fee.

Sounds like you sent him on all three stops, that journey takes a long time.
Since you apparently can't get it off Ceadeus anymore, I've been using village Jhen Mohran. You can unlock it in 7* quests after you fulfill a villager request. I have no idea when he becomes available online.
I remember Alatreon being the best source for them but I don't have access to him yet.
Single player Jhen sounds like the worst thing ever. Is it?

Gunlance here.
Doing the three jabs with the third one as the overhead slam, then blowing all your ammo in a blast and sending monsters scattering.
You will hit an unprecedented place of bliss the first time you nail a charging monster with the wyvern fire and it sends them sprawling backwards.

I got my ElderDragonBlood from Ceadeus offline. I fought it 4 times and only got one, though.
Huh, Brady guide doesn't have that in his loot table. Might be worth trying I guess.
