Its ment to be possible but its hard to do, as a gunner I just capture the monster and sometimes you will get the tail as a reward.
Bnahabra? Best way is to use the torch to gather them together and then poison smoke bomb a bunch of them at once. You can make poison smoke bombs with toadstools and bomb casing.
Capturing increases the number of rewards at the end so you'd be getting more rolls at it I guess. People have told me that carving is better than capturing at G rank too but I think they were lying to me.
Guard and Bombadier would be good skills.

Wait, when you use the longsword, you have to equip a vest ? (Dont know what is called in the english version of the game.) How important ist that?

I am DREADING getting to the volcano and having to get a new weapon (my current one is fire based). I wish I could just switch elements to make life easier. ;_;
Slimeeee.
Pretty much, but the Kelbi bow is slime as well if you have Awakening. It's also the most broken weapon in the game.

EU GAF, I need help getting out of HR4.
Did you rike it?
Interesting. What's Awakening? (not that I don't want to check it myself, but being on the phone complicates things)
It activates elements on weapons that have "hidden elements" which are usually in parenthesis on the equipment screen. So a bow with (Fire 300) does not have that fire damage if you don't have Awaken skill.

April 2013.
How do guild cards work? i've been "Hiring" players to do quests in Tanzia, but they seem to only have 1 or 2 star quests available. Currently i'm HR4, i haven't done any Tanzia quests solo, hope that has nothing to do with that...
Also i was mainly a Dual Swords user but have recently made the switch to Greatsword and have been enjoying myself. Question is what armor is good for GS? Currently have a mix of High and Low rank rathalos armor, not decorated.

So I'm getting rustshards left and right, and been keeping all the weapons I've gotten so far. Problem is, after reading online, I still don't really understand how rustshards work.
Most of my shards turn into vanilla level 1 weapons. Are these worth keeping? Do they "turn" into a good weapon at some point, or should I just get rid of them?
Today I got this rusted GS. is it rare? Should I upgrade it?

The rustshards that become the vanilla level 1 weapons are just that: crummy level 1 weapons, the same as what you'd find in your equipment box at the very beginning of the game. Unless you particularly want to upgrade one of them along their normal trees, go ahead and sell them off.
The actual "rusted" weapons, like that GS, can be upgraded along their own unique path and, once the rust is removed, tend to become very powerful dragon-element ancient weapons. Those are the ones to shoot for if you're rustshard-hunting.

They become better w/ upgrades.

Making a US room for HR2 stuff if anyone wants to help!

Personally I would say rusted weapons aren't worth upgrading because you can get their ancient counterparts at G rank, which upgrade to more powerful versions of the weapon.
Like a rusted GS will upgrade to 864 raw 340 dra, while the ancient version will upgrade to 1152 raw 700 dra. Unless you really really want a dragon weapon atm and have buttloads of earth crystals and other materials to spare, it's not worth it.
Well I don't mind the controls, and I don't use the CPP (XL). Target Cam is really useful and re-centers the camera towards the monster.
Yes, I transitioned from the claw to lock-on just fine. Swimming is still clunky and takes some getting used to, but it's doable.

3DS + CPP gives all the benefits of clawing, without the negatives.
It's manual. It's more of a "center camera" button instead of lock on.
If we do, I think the OT2 should be allowed to stay in gaming for an extra month before being moved to community. Clearly there's still a healthy amount of interest and discussion about the game!

Huh...so I was playing around the past few days with the light bowgun, and for damn sure these monsters have less health than precious versions. I recall it taking me forever to beat diablos with it before and while it did take awhile this time, it was so much faster and easier.
That lock on is a godsend and it along with the light bowgun make water battles much easier. I still can't beat gobul with melee that easily, but it's a joke with light bowgun.
