I dunno, having a squishy target for monsters to go after, other than me of course, is pretty handy.
Haha - I meant he would literally be next to me if he wasn't going to fight. We'd be one and the same target that way.
New free weekly dlc quests.
Okay thanks, will do. So generally i also shouldn't spend armor sphere(+)'s until i will wear them for longer? They seem kind of hard to come by..

You really want to hire a thief?
I tried free hunting for the skin, but after a streak of Ludroth Breeding where the sharqs wouldn't spawn, I figured I should try it in a contained environment.

Cool. Only took me a few minutes to get the Sharqskin and those few pieces of ore
Anyway, I beat Rathalos and Barioth. Shit was tense as fuck. I used an ice longsword to dispatch Rathalos after a long battle where I nearly went through my entire supply of potions. Afterwards, I skinned that fucker and then used the remains to make a fire great sword. OMG! The ass whooping I put on Barioth. Poor baby. The great sword hits so chunky, got damn. When Barioth's tail fell off it I could feel that slice in my heart. Kayamba was putting in work too, he managed to break the tusks lol
Just Diablos and then the big bad. Don't tell me these are all the big monsters I'm going to see?
MH gets free event quests you can download. Often they give special unique gear you can only get from that event. Sometimes there are really nasty monsters in them, like super giants or ones that enrage every time you hit them.
In Tri, this was a cycle of events that'd go up for a period of time and you could only play them when they were available. Since this was designed as a portable game it uses the method established in the PSP games - they occasionally put new stuff up and then you can download it and keep it forever.
Man, break over, back to work. Work sucks, man. Can't get my monhun on. ;_;
@Euro-GAF: who's gonna be on tonight? I could do with a bit of miralis farming. I want me his flaming LS and/or GS. Kinda wanted to farm the event more as well, I wanted to at least get the jacket to go with my hot leather pants. I don't think I have it in me to trudge through it 4 times for the shades though. I mean they look rad, but fuck me, that's a lot of crap to wade through for a pair of glasses.
Then again, there's also soccer on tv, so I'm not even sure how much I'll be able to play.

Oh there's more in high rank, more still in g rank.Don't tell me these are all the big monsters I'm going to see?

No, I'm in 8 stars quests and still haven't seen about a third of the monsters.

'Just' Diablos, haha. After that you've still got Uragaan and Agnaktor, the latter is a real bastard. And that's just low rank, there's plenty more in high rank. Lots of subspecies who often fight very differently, as well as things like Nargacuga, Zinogre, Jhen Mohran, Deviljho who don't have low rank equivalents at all.
Hit HR 2 online last night, have one piece left for my Rathalos set, and got the Chainslaughter this morning... This game is bad for my sleeping habits.
Is the starting hunting horn pretty useful online? I'm still trying to find that good secondary weapon for when we have enough longswords in the group.

Okay so 1: Apparently there are an absolute shit ton of masks for the Shakalakas in this one, some of them sounding very useful, namely the pitfall trap mask and the cannon mask. How the hell do I get those?!
Also, I went with Giggi gunner armor in low rank, since it had that awesome Status ATK+ skill (I love me some poison), and ended up killing Baleful Giggi, only to find that it's armor has what appears to be the best two bow skills possible! Lowering stamina drain and reducing charge times? YES. So now here I am waiting until I can get home/get a good moment to start farming the crap out of him for that armor.
Sadly, though, I need a Wyvern Stone, which I've heard is.... quite rare. Profound sadness.

If this was Tri, you almost would be.
Volvidon's set is awesome for everybody. And super easy to make, I got it in maybe 4 runs none of which took more than 10 minutes or so.

The brady guide is on the wiki, did anyone else know this?

That dang desire sensor. I am trying to get a Ratholos Ruby; my higher ranked friend joins to help out and in the first two hunts he gets two of them and in 10 or so I get none.
I did get to pull off one epic move though. He was doing his flying charge from across the map at me and instead of rolling out of the way I started doing an overhead charge with my GS. I got it to a 1 or 2 charge before he was upon me and I released it and broke his face and sent him crashing down to the ground right in front of me. Epic moment.

Not sure about the pitfall mask, it just showed up in the requests eventually. Cannon mask is related to Jhen I believe, you can unlock him from a request in 7*.
Mock Melynx is my favorite mask by far (steals from monsters, apparently from their 'body carve' table), as I said earlier I was farming Nargas for a rare drop and hadn't managed to get it before I went to bed, but Cha-Cha stole me one from the last run I did. Pawprint Stamps were a real bastard to get...of course, after I finally got the last one, every single shiny from Felynes I pick up is now a Pawprint Stamp.
Errr...The baleful giggi armour only has fast charge, not lower stamina drain. It has a skill called "Stam Drain" which causes arc shots to drain more stamina I guess (and exhaust coatings).
Edit: "Stamina" skill to get you Marathon Runner is what you need. I'm using full P.Ludroth gear at the moment and don't want to change. Any suggestions on what armour to focus on next for Bows?
I really want to get this....
Got the Wii version but couldn't get into it.
Does the tablet make this easier to get into? . I've always WANTED to get into these games but haven't succeeded yet. I think the barrier is the only problem but I'm guessing that once you break it and you're in, you're in nice and guud :>
Sound about right?

Ah. Regardless, it's the fast charge that makes me drool. Being able to keep up the offensive faster would be great. If I can gem in the Marathon Runner then I'd be golden. In a perfect world I'd find two charms that had slots, one that I could flip on for Marathon Runner and one for Status Atk+. Oh well haha.

I don't think the tablet does much specifically for getting into the game. But this one's a bit easier than the Wii game, I guess. It's still a game that takes longer to gain a basic understanding of than your average current gen AAA title takes to finish.
Their MH comic strip was lame, but it was really interesting reading the Penny Arcade newspost about their experiences. Tycho wasn't dissuaded by the long boring intro at all, Gabe gave up immediately.

The opening target for the Wii-U version is much easier than Tri. You start off with a good armor set and all the basic weapons to play with and all the early solo monsters are toned down. Sure there is a grind for items later on but you should not have too many issues getting what you want.
Way more relaxed to jump int than Tri but you still have to learn how combat works but at least you have plenty of options that suit your playstyle.
That's awfully nice of Mr. Cidney to share.
Hopefully he doesn't get banned by Brady Guides from buying any more.
Yeah P Ludroth gives me Marathon Runner and Status Atk+ (+2 with gem) and I've also gemmed in sleep/poison coating depending on my bow. Would like a new armour to focus on next though :/. Fast charge sounds like a good plan. I also want Status atk and marathon runner though :S.

Umm, I would remove that link, personally.
It seems they're much less rare than they were in Tri. I've got about 10 of them already, 2 in a single run.

My goodness at the hitbox on Diablos' tail. Felt like I wasn't making any progress at all because he was in rage mode until he walked into a level 3 charged slice and fell over haha

You can gem in coatings?
How?On a side note, I can't solo B Giggi. Shakas just don't have enough attack output. D;
Yeah, you can gem in any of them as far as I know so if your bow is missing the poison coatings, you can use 5 poison coat+ decorations to enable it.You can gem in coatings?

Was your problem finding him? Hit him with a paintball
Not really besides knocking him out right before he leaves, or staggering him will give you a little more time with him.
Just paintball him and you'll always know where he is.
Not really, get used to it when dealing with flying wyverns. Nargacuga drives me nuts since he flies back and forth across Flooded Forest every 3 minutes. Best you can do is keep him paintballed and learn the fastest routes/shortcuts between areas.
You can sometimes hinder their retreats with timely staggers, flash bombs and traps, but if it wants to change areas it'll keep trying to do that. After a while you learn which areas they favor and can start heading there in anticipation, although this is usually most reliable when they are retreating to feed/regain stamina.
Or make cha-cha wear the bunny mask to have infinite psychoserums =D
OMG how did five of you join a room? Konami code? It all makes sense now! You, your friend, and three other friends.

Never mind, seems stupidly wrong. I still am glad I have the searchable PDF in my iPod.
Of course, the fifth friends looks behind my shoulder and screams when the time is right!
Yea my mistake lol. He had the urgent quest, the other three (including me) just unlocked the HR3 quests.
That's piracy
Wyvern Stones can be gotten from a lot of monsters so you're bound to get many.
That's illegal.
Just having a bit of fun, so how hard did it hit you guys with LR armor? When I did it I feared every single hit because it did 50% of my health!
WTF I just bought this thing last week... I want my damn money back.
