Well I already know about Jho.
Well I consider the Pink Rathians annoying, but an annoying blessing. Cause I captured it and it gave me a Ruby. \o/

Wow, I'm rusty, haha. Qurupeco gave me a run for my money. I didn't bring anything of my own into the fight, so that was my own fault. But I remember why Lance play is so unique. Gotta just take my time.
Have the monsters in this game been weakened the first time around? I'm going through things so much faster. I guess just since Tri was my first MH, but man, I've gone from the very beginning up through slaying the Lagi, and everything just seems to roll over and die (outside of Peco and the Gigginox, who were oddly resilient).
I'm trying to learn a new weapon too, which I thought would make it difficult. Wearing Jaggi armor makes me feel like I take almost no damage, lol. Well, whether it's experience or just an altered game, it's nice to run back through and have it be so relaxing.

Note: Elemental attacks ignore a monster defense so its easier to break things faster if the monster is weak to it. Raw damage though is better for attacking weak points and for the bonuses that high level sharpness get you.
What do you mean? There's a full blademaster set and a full gunner set of G. Jaggi armor.

You can get a full Jaggi set, if you don't have all the parts in the forging menu, you need to fight more Great Jaggis.
huh? you can. there is.

Hit the Minus button to show "blademaster" armors and "gunner" armor.

Just took down Rathalos on my own for the first time, followed by Diablos. Both really fun fights!

Thanks, Ken. That's what I thought, but I just wanted to be sure -- didn't want to go on a Lagi group hunt with a useless weapon.
By the way, you, sir, are always helpful & it's appreciated. That's one nice thing I've noticed about the MH community; though I've had one or two people act like assholes (pro tip: don't be a dick to people when they join a room that says "Anyone is welcome!"), lots of folks are willing to help. The other night, I stayed up until 5 a.m. with MH vets who helped me up my HR rank, get a bunch of useful materials & generally make my hunter much better than what he was when I started. To top it off, they friend requested me at the end. I'm semi-new (played about halfway through single-player in Tri, but never went online -- decided to hold out when I heard about Ultimate, & bought it on day one), but I hope to do the same for folks when I'm a vet.

Can I get some general advice for Hunting Horn? I'm not sure how to keep up my dodging while using those laggy R button attacks.
Also, is Fast Charge better than Attack Up (M) for Greatsword? I'm thinking of switching from Jaggi to Lagiacrus.
I agree with the guys above, the low rank monsters are definitely easier. Peco and Gigginox might be slight exceptions. I think both of them have new moves and are faster now.

No way. A huge number of your Greatsword attacks are still going to be uncharged potshots, which Fast Charge won't help at all with. My ideal Greatsword set has Sharpness +1, AUL, and Critical Draw. Anything after that is gravy.

Ffffff they nerfed Qurupeco armor big. Any armor have similar skills that's relatively low level?

Anyone online for some HR1 stuff? Been doing solo stuff but I'm finally OK for some online I think.

Tranq captures the monster when they are weak and in a trap. Sleep coating / status puts then to sleep so you can setup bombs or do a big attack because the first damage they take while asleep is multiplied and a big crit

No Evasion.Don't tell me that, I just finished a set.
What's nerfed about it?
Ah, thanks. I'll remember that.
Is there another item that does what tranq bomb does? Also, do I put the trap down and then pummel the monster with tranq bombs or do the bombs first and trap after?
Makes sense. Next question, will Punish Draw be worth it? I was always curious about that one.
Nope, though there is a gunner ammo that can act as tranq bombs for gunners.
You can do them in either order. Though if you throw tranq bombs first, try to get it in a trap ASAP.
Ok, good to know I'm not crazy. Yeah, Barroth was the one that really made me think something was up. I used to be terrified to face that thing, even on high rank after I had decent gear.

Yes! If you know your timing you can easily get at least a single ko per quest if you focus on the head alone. That said, in a group where monsters will be flinching and falling down more frequently the benefits diminish as you need to focus everywhere and not just one spot.

It's not bad, but my general opinion has always been "why not just use a hammer?" I look at each weapon, and it seems to me that each one excels at something particular. So, I try and make my sets to maximize what that weapon type has to offer. If you're playing alone, it's probably more valuable than if you're playing in a team, since any KO damage you're going to deal is miniscule compared to a hammer user. Still, to get the skill you need to drop one of the three I mentioned above. To me, it's not worth losing a big damage boost throughout a 20 minute fight for what will amount to one KO and maybe some stamina drain. As a GS user, you're going to be tasked with cutting tails and breaking non-head parts anyway, so the benefit is further marginalized.
That's just my two cents - I wouldn't look down on anyone if they went with Punish Draw.
Alright, thanks. I think I'll go with trap first.
Annnnd one last one. Does anyone know if you can bind the shoulder buttons the circle pad pro? If not, what are the defaults? I think bow would be pretty great if you could.

No Evasion or Defense. Lack of Recovery Up isn't terrible, but the Eva and Def are clutch on my Lancer. :\

How do I unset an EZ Shock Trap? Does it happen automatically after a period of time? Cause now I can't use my other Shock Trap.
Also this game has a dedicated Pause button. :bow

I think they self destruct after about 5 minutes.

Hot.
I tried Peco with the basic iron+ hammer and using the super pound it never bounced. It makes the sound of bouncing but since super pound doesn't bounce, the attack still goes through.
So you should be able to beat Peco with that weapon by just spamming super pound until you get a green sharpness weapon. It took me about 10 minutes to do that without worrying about G.Jaggie.

Too fricking long. Cha-Cha killed it. >_< WTF
Side note, green sharpness is a WORLD of difference from yellow. All my hits land on Luddy now.

argh this game. I have no idea wtf I'm doing. Running around Mogi Island looking for stuff. Is this what I'm supposed to be doing. Tried going online for a quest that wanted to take an hour but no one joined me so I abandoned it. I'm so confused. I want to really give this game a go, but this is not fun right now, especially when you have no idea what's going on.
