Armors with "S" and "U" next to them are generally high-rank armors (though not always; the Rath Heart set for instance is high-rank for Pink Rathian, but without S and U as... there's no Pink Rathian in low rank.)

I had a fun time helping my brother to raise his HR to 3.
As for myself, I had my sweet revenge on Plesioth and Pink Rathian. Both gave me a hard time in the past.

So this is a good SA? I've got one on that line and the next upgrade is Soul Crusher. Need a few more relics and large wyvern stones though, is it worth going for?

Going back after a while and easily beating monsters you really struggled with earlier is one of the most satisfying things you can do in gaming, real talk.
I just fucked up Dire Miralis (with GAF help) using it so I'd say yea it's pretty good. Gonna use the 3 slot to gem in some sharpness but till I can make that I'm getting sharpener +6 from it.

High rank is so hard. It takes me half an hour to kill things instead of 5-10 minutes. I'm not ready for Plesioth. Deep sigh.
I thought the Plesioth was pretty manageable in high rank, and I was still using my low rank weapon. It didn't give me much trouble compared to, say, the HR or Pink Rathian. Just get a decent armor set so you can take more than a few hits without fainting.
Great, might head down that line then. Dios line is pretty boring and that's what I've been using so far. Ceadeus line is tempting since it just looks so damn cool but no slots is a turn off.
that doesn't make him leave that day, it just sets his destinations for his next scheduled trip

Check out Zinogre Z
I'm in G Rank and I cannot solo regular Ceadeus the first time. It's infuriating. There's just not enough time. I know what I'm doing since I farmed Goldenbeard so much. I'm overpowered for the fight. I use every Ballista and Dragonnater twice. But he just won't die that first time. It's such a pain because I want to farm him but doing it twice is such a right pain in the ass

Hoping I get the chance to play with some of you tomorrow.
Oooh, just had a look at its skills. I like it, thank you! Even better, I can already make three of the pieces

Aelucanth X has +5 Dragon defense, plus High Grade Earplugs and I think 5-6 slots to mess around with. It's easy to make too - just send out your hunters to G Rank small monster hunts to Flooded Forest (Bug Hunt). You'll get Maiden Butterflies and Bnahabra parts.

Need a few S. Zinogre stuff too, so if you're on in about one hour we can farm it for a bit.
Awesome, I'll be on in an hour, then.
Seems pretty good compared to most other options for Dragon attack:
-Jho Axe: Doesn't get above Blue sharpness until G-Rank upgrades, and requires Black Blood for the last two upgrades.
Has a good chunk of Purple Sharpness with Sharpness +1, but very little White or Blue. -5% Affinity kinda sucks as well.
-S.Zinogre Axe: As far as attack goes, it's pretty good. Sharpness isn't totally great though, which is what holds it back for me.
-Helios Crusher: Lower attack than the above axes, but has MUCH better sharpness compared to the above options, especially with S+1.
Get Awakening and you get a decent chunk of Dragon Atk in Axe Mode. Also has +15% Affinity and not terribly hard to make.
I'm tempted to make it myself honestly.
No slots suck, but it's apparently one of the best SA's from what I've read.
Huge attack and it's a got a Power Vial attached on top of that.
Ludroth Armor with the Barioth bow is pretty good. That bow will let you sleep/para/exhaust, and has the focus arc shot which is wonderful for knock outs.

I wish I could take this Kelbi "bow" and make it look like an actual bow. Thats my only problem with it, I feel ridiculous with it haha.
Only slightly less ridiculous is my Chakra armor... running around raining death looking like Im out for a jog. 15 slots is awesome though, and as a gunner its right in line with all my other options, while being a good budget armor for blademaster purposes.
Btw guys, the Kelbi bow is likely the best raw bow, ever. Has access to every coating type, is rapid type shots at full charge while giving You spread for when you want to lay on some statuses.
And if you want Giggi X armor will give it some hefty innate slime, making for some explosion magic.

I don't know if I should feel bad or good for breaking the info about charm tables to those who just started the game, specially if they're not new to the series.
Capcom, don't do this again in the future. Locking people out of Rusted Fragments needed for some armor sets is just awful.

A friend and I were woefully undergeared for the Brachy fight, so we recruited a wandering random.
Who promptly disconnected about 5 minutes into the battle.
What followed was 40 minutes of diving like a maniac through explosions, somehow managing to cut off his tail, break an arm and his horn, and kill him with less than 5 minutes remaining.
Dem moments of insane hunting testicular fortitude.
(Now I gotta beat on him a few more times so I can make the weapon. Gah)

Huh, I do get rusted fragment fro,the fishing crew.
Does that mean I got a good charms table?

Oh, also, is there or isn't there a rusted long sword?
I'm finding conflicting information all over the place.
Ancient Shard maybe (That's G-Rank only, right?)

There's a 3DS app for free on the e-store. Get it. After that it's self explanatory. Takes less than a few minutes, you can do it while putting your shoes on.

I think you may need to read my posts again. I don't have any problems at all using the Longsword or Lance. I have MEGA problems using the Great Sword. I can't get charges off on anything. I have no problems killing with it, but I simply cannot get charges, and I feel like I'm spending more time healing or chasing something than actually hitting it.
This is how the typical scenario has been going:
1. Run up at the start and try to position myself for a charge, or even just a normal attack on the tail: monster instantly charges one of the Shaka partners, or instantly does a 180. SWISH
2. It's standing there, focused on a Shaka partners, so I run up, line up a shot, then it charges all the way across the screen. SWISH
3. It keeps charging back and forth, back and forth until finally it drains itself of stamina, and it's taking a break. I run all the way up to it, line up a chage and then it's tail just so happens to idle animation just out of range as soon as I get a level 3 charge and let go. SWISH
4. Finally get a decent attack in, but then I'm bounced into the wall directly after, set on fire, then dizzied. I finally recover with 1/4 of my life, then run away while on fire trying to heal. I finally heal and then it's time to do this slow ass process all over again.
Or, I can simply run under it and mash X, A, X+A, A, X+A, A, X+A until it goes out of range again. So much for finesse.
By comparison, the Longsword is fucking elegant and even though each attack might hit for less damage initially, I spend a hell of a lot more time actually hitting enemies than I do hitting air. The Lance on the other hand, is like baby-mode and you're practically invincible. It's pretty damn annoying too, considering I just upgraded to a Sieglinde.

There's an app on the 3DS; search data transfer on the eShop and it should show up. Then on the Wii U version select data transfer, while on the 3DS app select Wii U to 3DS.
I used this guide the first time I did it:

Sweet, you can play with us next Saturday!
When it's done updating
If it's strong against that element as in it takes no extra damage from that element across all hitzones, you'll only be doing the weapon's raw damage to it.

Only the elemental attack part of your stats will get nerfed. The raw damage will stay the same.

It depends on how long you take to do things, or if you're trying to forge every armor set and upgrade every weapon. I'm currently about to unlock rank 6 and I've only been really focusing on two weapons. I also only use the Worggi and Barroth armor sets right now, because there hasn't been anything better yet. Also right at 57 hours.
