Finally got a Lagia Plate, so my armour set is complete, but still need 1 for my Thundacrus LS.
Also the ML001: Baltzenger Lance makes Lagiacrus cry, too bad I sometimes kill him by mistake on the Lord of the Seas capture quest, feels bad man.

Also played some online yesterday for the first time with randoms farming Lagi, went great.
So guess I'll do that more often.

I've been wondering how feesible it is to duo (with 2 cats of course) G rank. I'm playing with my brother so obviously we'll never be able to play online together at the same time but will it be possible to do the harder things in G Rank with just 2 people, we managed fine against Green Plesi and Quropeco (HR6).

I committed a Lagiacrus genocide just for a plate.

GOT 2 FROM REWARD, 1 FROM DROP

1 plate for the HBG upgrade I needed. 1 for the boots that I never planned to get. 1 plate I dont know what to do with.

Now I need to do a Rathian genocide.

On a side note, 3rd gen doesnt list rare drops in the guild card?

Captured around 20 azure raths to get two rubies. I was starting to feel pretty stupid about what I was doing towards the end. I could still use a third ruby to make an Auberon GS, but I'm not going to go for that now. :/

Still, I'm now the proud owner of a Rath Soul set and a lot of slots. Gives quite a lot of flexibility towards all sorts of quests.

Sorry if I just seem to have a constant stream of questions, but how do I get exquisite meat?

Loving the long sword though. Wished I picked it sooner.

So any tips on cutting rathian's tail with the long sword?

Cutting tail with long sword is easy. Whenever Rathian is fighting with your minions (masters?) and you see it does the somersault attack, quickly move behind her, you'll have enough time for the X + X combo. When you see it throwing fireballs do the same, quickly go behind and do X + X, although here try to hit the part where the tail joins the body to make the hit easier (I just realized I could use a colloquial term for that part of the body, but I won't lol).

Oh I know. I just cut it off, but seeing that it's a collect the wyvern eggs quest all I got out of it was a rathian scale. :mad:

At least I got hella rathian shells, which I needed for the longfire.

I had the mega dashing potion, but fought the rathian just for the hell of it. Also to learn the long sword more.

You exchange guild cards with other hunters, and they might appear in your tavern. There, you can send them out on various quests. The big letter on the quest indicates how likely it is the hunter returns successfully. S is the best chance. Then it's from A to I think D or F, which are pretty bad odds. By hiring more hunters (more cash) you up the likelihood of the quest being completed.

I never got any really rare mats by sending people out, it's mostly the monster's common materials, and some other stuff like ores and bugs. Later on with higher ranked hunters, you can even send them on G ranked missions.

I can make a Yamato set now, but I just entered G rank. Thinking if it's worth it.
Click to expand...

I made the set back when I was at the Goldbeard urgent, i'd say it's worth making for the early G rank stuff, its defence is pretty high, enough that it outmatches some early G rank armours if i'm not mistaken and it has some nice skills.

When I made my G Rank Crimson Qurupeco armour I was surprised that defensively speaking it was barely ahead of the Yamato set, i'd actually probably be better served sticking with the Yamato set right now (I already miss fast charge) but I simply must wear my fabulous Peco armour.

It's very useful early on as they usually come back with stuff useful for leveling up the farm like bizzy bees or big dungs. They also bring some ores so if you hire them often you won't have to lose time on farming machalites and stuff like that. They complete a mission every two you do by yourself (either moga, tanzia solo or online)

Haven't posted in forever. I have been playing, but not at the same rate as everyone else. I advance one HR and one Moga star per week. Everyone else is probably G Rank by now...

But, I was at the Nintendo World Event yesterday. Met Shepard/SocialDissonance. If any of you were there and Streetpass'd with a hunter named "Smith", that was me.

GAF, I almost played through Monster Hunter on Wii. In Ultimate I killed my first Rathian and got finally my Bnahabra Armor complete.

I never played a Monster Hunter game online.

What should I do now?

So are Great Swords even worth caring about offline prior to crit draw and possibly fast charge/fast sheathe? I can do "okay" with it on the slower moving enemies, but it doesn't seem like it can do shit against something like Diablos or even a Rathian (who is very easy by comparison). I mean, I can spam combos all day while cowering underneath them and kill them, but trying to go for a tail or face cut? Hah. Maybe I'll get two good swipes in every five minutes. A level 3 charge on a specific body part? No fucking way. They say that to get good with this weapon you have to be "predictive" of the monster's movements, but sometimes they are entirely too random for that on top of simply being way too fast. I'm not sure if having the two Shakalaka partners are worth bringing along either because they constantly reposition the monster right before I'm about to land a hit.

So far I have the most luck using the Longsword, but apparently people hate it online due to the wide swings hitting other players, so I'm trying to find a weapon that is decent for group play.

Offline, Have Taunt on both Cha Cha and Kayamba so the enemy will expose their tail more often. If you don't have a good chance for a tail attack, just get good body shots in until they're tired. While exhausted, they tend to stand still long enough for a charged swing on the tail. Also, shock traps while they're tired. If you care about capping, bring mats to make a second trap to use to cap later in the fight.

It is definitely more difficult offline.
