Fluffy Mask for Cha Cha is a godsend. Just tap the Cha Cha signal button and instant monster location.
ChaCha + Bunny Mask. Just signal him and he will point out the monsters.

Now that you got the hang of the capture quests, you really shouldn't have any problem.
Been playing a good bit of the wii u version with 3DS friends locally. I've been running into a problem when we start a multiplayer hunt where the Wii U version takes longer to load the the new zone, and I get booted from the game. It happens seemingly inconsistently, sometimes occurring multiple times in a row.
As a 'Well, let's see what happens' measure, I deleted the wifi connection information from my WiiU, and I haven't had a disconnect since. I'm not all that confident this has actually solved the problem, even though it has been behaving since the change.
Has anyone experienced this/does anyone have input on it? When I tried googling for it, I mostly found talk about the WiiU version losing connection online, which isn't the same issue.
Barring the minor frustration, having a blast. Managed to get a bunch of friends hooked, put 70 hours in already, already further along than I got in Tri.

or press start then x, if you don't have the panel set up. (thanks to whoever gave me that tip).
I can't fully confirm(at work at the moment),but I found some in the Flooded Forest,D.Island and Toundra too.@Hoodbury:I should change the language settings to english in game to avoid confusion,but if it is for the ancients weapons,it should be this item.

I was afraid of this fight, but then, I took him down with ease in about 20 minutes on my first try.
Thank you, Bolt Axe.
Of course, I needed to get Webbing, and I ended up getting none, despite breaking his wings and tail.

FINALLY!
this game is full of asshole creatures!
sent dude limping away to the sleep den 4 times
why? First time I cleared all the little dino assholes out, retreated with bear dude kept hitting him slowly one hit at a time since my dual blades kept killing him for hours failing this capture quest (my first experience with this game)
sent him limping back to sleeping den I wait outside to give him time to reach his sleep spot
walk in one sole dino asshole is guarding him facing me
I want to get to him to use Ez Shock Trap
dino asshole turns around does a smash side bump attack on bear dude's butt waking him up!
After hours of failing that pissed me off went after jerk douche ass dino bunghole killing him
now I know I am going to fail if I shred Bear dude up so I love tap attack him again slowly because he is no longer limping
he exist I follow tap tap tap he limps home again
I give him time to reach his sleep spot
walk in later
Again!? Another single douche dino dunghole is looking me dead in the eyes turns runs and chomp chomp bites sleepy dude in the ass waking him up WTF
now I am about to throw my gamepad, I click HOME and walk away get a drink
continue later.
I kill dino asshole for that damn alarm clock chomp
tap tap tap at bear dude, he exit, follow tap tap tap so close to killing this bear and fail again I stop... he limps home
I wait set tranqs on Y button
Ez Shock Trap on gamepad menu ready
I run in this time to beat alarm clock dino asshole but he was not there
I get to bear dude's butt hit ezST shock shock double tap Y = 1 tranq / 2 tranq music plays XD
FUCK THIS GAME!
now I understand why some people spend 800+ hours on a single monhun title
someday I will learn the name of dino asshole and sleepy bear butt if two assholes can trigger a store like this on one rundamn I am screwed
I learned a lot from failing I was too aggressive raining dual blade cuts on bear dude for hours
until this final successful run little single taps was an much easier to keep him alive
You are going to LOVE Qurupeco. He's your next big monster and he can call out other monsters like "Big Dino asshole" and "Bear dude" to come help him. Oh, and he can heal himself. Go after him with a heavy weapon like a hammer or great sword. Dual blades won't scratch him unless you upgrade them heavily.
BTW, can anyone tell me how many quests I have to do to get out of HR1 and up to HR2?

Don't forget getting set on fire XD
And I would love to help you online Smiles and Cries when the cross region online patch comes =D
I'm no DS expert but when in demon mode I think if you press A+X the combo it does won't bounce. And once you get green sharpness with anything you're fine.

That I did not know.
BTW, this game must be selling really well. Nintendo had to put out apologies in Europe because the game keeps selling out and is in short supply. As it is, I'm lucky if I can find a copy at GameStop and the local Toys R Us never seems to have any in stock. Guess demand was higher than expected.
I'm up to 40 hours so far and honestly I'm having a hard time getting online- going through the single player seems a lot more rewarding this time around and I'm having a lot of fun just making my way alone.
Hopefully I'll have some uninterrupted time on the weekends to get online, but single player is a lot easier to pick up and play and still progress.

Yeah, thats a dance thing. The masks define whether they gather, or attack large or small monsters and what special ability they use when you ping them.
So I went into the Qurepeco(sp?) quest a little underprepared lol. I kicked his ass(not really lol, between the great Jaggi, and the thieving cats I barely won.). Damn cats stole my map, my paintballs. So by the end I was wandering the plains with no cold drinks not knowing where the bird was. I fought that bastard tooth and nail. I remember at one point I had a sliver of health and he started me on fire. I was rolling like a mofo to put it out lol.
The more I play the more I become addicted!

Pfffahahaha I love how he emphasizes 'wyvern' when referring to Rathian. I wonder how many people corrected him about calling her a dragon in the QL.

Eh, I think he needs to get off the "more explanations" crap. Yes, the game is obtuse, but one of the reasons I fell in love with this series is the lack of hand-holding. I've all but lost interest in most modern games because there's too much yap-yap-yap going on. I miss the days of booting up Mario or Zelda and - holy shit - I'm in a level and ready to fight right off the bat! Now, it's not good for every game to be like that, and Monster Hunter benefits from its hub world and gathering aspects, but I sure as hell don't want a Twilight Princess scenario where I spend 2 hours doing nothing in a village before something happens.
We live in a modern world, and people can be bothered to do research. My wife just started playing, and she likes Dual Swords. We looked up Wikia pages and Youtube videos for her to watch, because I'm new to the weapon, too. And we're both okay with that.
If anything, this article shows what is just so wrong with gaming journalists:
So he's a typical, narrow-minded douchebag who shits on a game he has never played, and is just now, at whatever age he is, playing games outside of his comfort zone. An ass like this does not belong in any kind of gaming media.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he gave the game a shot and enjoyed himself, and I'm glad he wrote the article.

Pitfall Trap mask is best mask.
EVERYONE LIKES DS. Also add me Karst. NNID solune.
Opposite for me. Ever since I went online I haven't done anything offline. It just doesn't feel right at all playing solo. Main reason I never even gave the 3DS version a glance, just no interest in solo hunts.

That's a thing? That might replace the fluffy mask for me. In Tri he had that one mastered and everything else at level 0-1.
Rathalos mask is too fun

Added. Do we know when the app to let the 3DS + Wii U play online together is coming out? I'll just be playing in a hub with my wife until then.
I tried DS and it was okay. I like the hammer best. Having the monster writhing on the floor in pain while the entire team hacks at it is a great feeling. And I'm a pretty good hammer user, too, and people rarely use hammers (without sucking, at least).
I just got the Peco Flint today, and damn is that good offline. I found a Great Jaggi in a free hunt and super pounded it twice to KO it, and then did two triple pound combos - dead! SO BUFF! I'm taking the same hammer route I took in tri, because having a Rathalos head as a hammer is just too goddamn good.
How far along are you?
Once you get reasonably far online, offline goes fast and is worth doing for the farms/boats. I did all like 6 hunts and two gathering quests in 2 hours today, plus minor stuff on the side.

I tried searching for Jellyfish and it just returned to the small monster screen withiut location data. I am hoping it is user error. How woukd you search for it?

I should give that mask to Cha-Cha and the False Felyne Mask to Kayamba, then give them both the Rage ability.
requires a rathalos plate, might as well not exist.

Yep, MH (PS2) on the other hand...
I remember people doing Los tail runs; cut tail, carve and if no plate - abandon quest. You can get a plate carve off a tail and its body, can also get a plate from the tear and at the rewards screen here.
Flooded Forest or Tundra bug spots.
Honestly, from reading his story it doesn't sound like to me he has the hang of it. Smiles, you don't need to be waiting for it to sleep, you don't need to keep tapping it and all that. It sounds like you are going through way more trouble than you need to be.
Are you playing on the Wii-U Smiles? If so, it might be good to go online with one of us and have us show and explain how to cap.

You know we need a poll going, like around the 19th/22nd to see what's the weapon MH Gaffer are using =P.
I'm using Switch Axe and see the lack of people talking about it, I would say it's a much improved weapon specially with Brachydios weapon route. (Compared to Tri)

So, between High Rank and G rank armors, do the skills change any? I know that armors can be upgraded into higher ranked equivalents, but the skills stay the same, at least from Low Rank to HR. If HR to G is the same, then that might save me quite a bit of time if the skills are the same.
EDIT: Skils stay the same, meaning that an armor upgraded from LR to HR has the LR skills.

Yeah that's a good combo. False Felyne with Rage and Bomb Raider is damaging.I should give that mask to Cha-Cha and the False Felyne Mask to Kayamba, then give them both the Rage ability.
Drop rates for plates are not as bad as they were in the past. I have like 5 lol

Some skills from high to G rank armor sets are kept, some removed and new ones added. I know that the Wroggi X no longer has Negate Poison compared to its S counterpart, which is a bummer.
