Water is a much more useful element I feel though. Like you said though, it took me forever to upgrade that finblade

Yeah, you can get Plates from low rank Los, so go for it. Also, I would keep the Rath Hammer, IMO. Make the Dios Hammer separately.
I ended up getting the game for the 3DS, thanks for the couple of guys here who helped my nail down that I *could* do co-op with my brother! We didn't properly test it by doing any quests but I could see his guy listed on the bottom screen (couldn't see him on the top screen though, assuming that's not the case on the actual hunting grounds) so hopefully it'll work out.
Having much more fun than I'd expected though, having never played a full MonHun game and having had a bad experience with the demo (I had no idea what I was doing, basically). Got a better grasp of the basics now, rocking some duel blades, working out how the goddamn camera works, enjoying it,
. I've probably played about 4 hours and done absolutely nothing of worth - lots of jaggi hunting and mushroom picking - so the real monster hunting is yet to come.
Gonna have to get on the Wiki though.

Okay, thanks for the advice guys! Going to hold off for a wee bit longer before deciding.

Anyone want to help me get a Diablos Marrow? Wanting to keep my sword up in upgrades, and I need one of those to do that.
I'm also somewhat on the fence as for SnS vs Bow right now. Went through and just informally timed a Volvidon fight, my upgraded bow did 9 minutes to capture, and the SnS that's behind one or two did 7:30 or so to weaken it to the point of capturability. But obviously, the Bow is a lot safer. Decisions decisions.
EDIT: FP3, L9, usual.

How many of you guys finished the village quests?
Get a Brachydios set and then I will think about it.

I don't even have one yet. ._.
Played the game online for the first time yesterday. Random, as I was drunk and EuroGAF was probably already asleep. Still HR1 (only did five quests or something), but it was fun. The online system is archaic and intimidating, but the community is really great. Friendly and helpful. What's interesting is that even though everybody could use voice chat, nobody did.
Nope. High Rank Alatreon doesn't sound appealing when G rank is DLC.

Thinking of building a Gunlance, I can currently make a Lagia Burst. Is that one worthwhile considering what paths it can go down? I'm currently a LS user and have a Rimeblade

Scratch the Diablos thing for now, someone just help me tackle the last two quests before HR4.
Which room is yours?

So I set out to capture a Purple Ludroth in Moga Woods, I double check my inventory to make sure I have a trap, tranq bombs, antidotes, mega potions, and whetstones. So I set out and am on my way to it, guess what? Zero potions and whetstones :| I got hit three times only and blade reached yellow during the course of the battle and he's sound asleep . It's crazy how much better I am when I know I can't mess around, it happens in every game.

How many people have the 3DS version? And how many of you only own the 3DS version?
I only have the 3DS version.
Playing on 3DS XL here. Controls are fine without the CPP pro, you get used to them pretty quickly. No Online is a bummer though.

Only got a 3DS one. Alright so far but suspect it'll hurt when I move on from the Village quests.

Me me! I only own the 3DS version!
Can only hope for a solution like Xlink Kai..

Hahha! Those were fun quests! Cheers!Had some awesome hunts with some EU GAFers tonight! Best parts were killing the Deviljho that got summoned by crimson Peco (and getting a jho gem), and destroying high rank Rathian in 3.5 minutes
Na, only did it up to white lagi and jho. Not willing to spend the time to do every single quest to unlock the rest.
Really? I sorta enjoy doing it w/ the dble BBQ. It takes no time at all to cook like a 100+, and that lasts me a good while.

Is 3DS the lead platform?
Best way to do it with is the Grill Mask. I've noticed how you can't get a Rare Steak with it. You can either not cook it, get a well done steak or get a burnt steak.
Well yea. The Wii U version is a port of the 3DS version with online.
Both, and loving the ability to play it whichever way I want with either system.

Got both here too. Playing on XL - works fine with virtual dpad, don't feel a need for the CPP at all.
I thought so too with the demo but after trying the CPP I can't go back.

I'm just trying to avoid buying one
No complaints yet- I'm sure on some of the more intense underwater fights ill be changing my tune...

Question.
Why are there two sets of each creature's armor? Like Jaggi armor for instance. Is one for melee while the other is for gunner?

Yup.
Yep, check which is which by scrolling through the stats pages before forging.
Sometimes one piece of a set can be used by both.
Just took out Barioth in Village Quests. After 45 hours and finally learning the game, I definitely see how people can find village quests super easy. Barioth feels like he should put up more of a fight. I beat him first try with almost no problem. It was still fun, but I'm about ready to move to online. At this point, I'm going just going to blow through the rest of Low Rank Village, but I'm ready for the "real" challenge of the game at this point.

I'm starting the games and I'm going through the iron route with dual blades /lances
should I give some attention to the bone ones? are they better?

I wonder if the final village quest, Mark of the Hero, is as tough as the previous final quests in the series (Gold and Silver, Dual Rajang). In MH3U, it's a G Rank Brachydios, Ivory Lagiacrus + Azure Rathalos at the same time. The Dual Rajang quest was definitely super tough.

Just the 3DS version for me. No complaints either, except that the CPPXL is expensive to import.
About to take on Ceadeus, I may or may not do some Tanzia quests first though.

I was going to get the CPP, but then I realized that it's obviously not compatible with the Nyko battery :|

how do I level up my farm and why do I give the village resources? what does the points earn me?
Points allow you to do villager requests which will improve the village in ways like... upgrading your farm
You also need the points to farm and send out your fishing boats.
You level up the farm by filling villager requests that Junior tells you about as you play through the Moga Village quests.
Resources are what you spend to get stuff from the farm and fishing boat. You get them by exchanging certain items and doing free-hunt in Moga Woods. (Leaving the village with no quest.)
