I've been getting the most luck i've ever had in MH on Pink Rathian. I've killed 4 and i've had 3 rubies, 2 plates and a medulla lol.
I get the feeling that I'm going to have a similar feeling when I go on tonight to farm high-rank Rathalos; the speed upgrade that Azure Rathalos gets makes him a lot more fun to fight, to say nothing of the new aerial maneuvers.
But I need those mats, and they won't carve themselves.
Narcacuga was fun, except when it knocks me off the edge of the waterfall in area 7 lol.
Dat sense of progression.
There was a speed upgrade? I only noticed its flying attacks changed. And that I laugh at its attempt to poison me lol.

Get just one Recovery Lvl Up slotted in, and it will cancel it.
Sns and LS are fine. The hammer is surprisingly nimble too.
Yeah, he's definitely a bit faster; it seems like in general he moves like a normal Rathalos would move in rage mode, and he also has the ability to change direction if he goes for a double tail whip. I had to do a double take when I saw him go counter-clockwise and nail me just as I was moving in.
It doesn't seem as fast as rage mode Rathalos. Isn't a normal Rathalos able to do the change direction thing too? Though it seems Azure Rathalos does it more often.

The bane of a GSer in Tri. Seriously just go hammer on him.

I... I will stay strong! I will do this!
(underwater is the true bane of GSer, if I can handle that... I will handle this!)
But for real the super fast enemies are super annoying as a GSer. Maybe that's why I had no trouble with Barroth, he's pretty slow, lol. Even his rage mode attacks are telegraphed to hell.
Barioth made me its bitch in Tri.
STOP JUMPING AROUND YOU CATFACED PUSSYI... I will stay strong! I will do this!

:O. Barroth was pretty shitty to GS in Tri as well. Barioth was also kind of shit, but at least at that point you can have critical draw and focus and just fuck his tail up lol. Gigginox is just the worst with all his back jumping. Hit and run, with the occasional very rare charge is pretty much the only way.
What if I don't have a recovery up? Is it luck if I find one?
It's just a gem you can craft and slot into your armor. I think it's pretty easy to make, too.

You make it by talking to the smith and choose Decorations -> Forge Decorations.
You can make a Recovery Level Up gem and set it into one of your armor pieces that has a slot available.
Two minor things. First, the Arc Shot you listed as "Spread" is called "Wide" in-game. Second, elemental does make a huge difference in damage output, if you line up the weaknesses. My first Rathalos quest I used the Queen's Blaster II, but later when you fight him in the deserted island, I used that bug bow (Y) with crazy amount of lightning damage and killed the guy in half the time. Bows to Bowguns is similar to fast blades (SnS/DS/LS) to slow blades (Hammer/GS). It's not something you would notice much in low rank though, because almost all of the upgrade paths they give you until five-star rank give you crap in terms of elemental output, and are not the best type of element to use on most of the monsters you have access to fight. The most important elements to exploit in Monster Hunter (at least based on Tri) are Dragon Attack, Fire Attack, and Ice Attack.
Also, while switching between bows all the time to try different things, I swear that the different Arc Shots have different ranges. Wide seems to be close, but that's probably just due to it's larger radius, while Focus seems to have the farthest range.
The lack of people online is also because the 3DS copy is selling much better than the Wii U one.
I looked through all the gems, and I don't have a health recovery jewel.
Feel like I haven't run into a single bowgun or SnS user online so far. So if they aren't there I might as well be one! Bowgun-GAF, what's a decent starting set for ranged armor and what're some good weapons to start from? Got a good amount of High-rank items floating around and a little bit of G (mostly Jaggie/Volvi/Baggi/Lagombi). Will likely be going the Heavy route.

Is Monster Bone L drop rate from Barroth really that low? I've killed him 5 times, captured twice and still nothing
Try Rathian, Rathalos, or Diablos.

The different Arc shots definetly have different ranges to them. Considerably so in fact.
Currently upgrading the Stoutbow2 and the Queensblaster2. The stoutbow will be developed towards slime.
Also I got 4 rusted weapons allready: GS, SnS, Lance, Hammer... I barely got a hammer in tri.
That... makes me sad if it's more than just an anecdote. They even buffed the SnS. But the DS just feel like they're too similar in purpose.
Thanks. I didn't stop to test so I didn't want to state it as fact. The most telling thing was trying to use Arc Shots underwater.

So I'm thinking about picking up a GS for a while. Any quick noob tips or things I should know?
I've been switching between dual swords and a hammer, and I actually prefer the hammer and its charge specials. I'm finding the dual swords kind of weaksauce in that I don't love having to hit fast combo strings and get lots of quick hits in.
I'm mostly interested in the GS because they look so awesome, but the combat seems interesting too.

Piracy.
Okay I'll come and join you! Im HR2.
EDIT: IS it GAF Gold and just the standard password?
Wait, the Wii U was hacked already? Or do you mean the 3DS?

Just faced Brachydios for the first time, damn he was a tough one, just when I think i've got things down he then goes all explosive mad in rage mode, I don't think i've ever feared a rage mode as much as this one, I do love his fighting style though, not so much the explosive slime but the fact he basically just punches and headbutts everything.
I can relate.

Free hunt variety is increasing slowly, but it's still going to be tedious.

Talking about the Wii.
He means the Wii game had a lot of pirated copies online.
Will I face any of them in 4* quests?
He's saying that Tri likely had more people playing due to them pirating the game, given how easy the Wii was to hack.
Rathian is one of the key 4* quests; the other two don't show up until 5*.
Rathian
