Not rarer, but I do think different colours denote different ores to mine. And they don't actually change colours, the node vanishes and is replaced with another. So you should always mine every node you see immediately.

edit: at least that's how I play it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I do believe they are different based on rarity or maybe the better word would be quality. Like in the volcano, you'll get better results from the bluish colored ones vs red ones. But the places they appear are fixed.

Three minions? Hot!

It's pretty funny. I let her use my retail disk on her Wii U while I'm in the living room with my Wii U, and I just hear her screaming "Nooooooooooooooooo it's trying to kill me!!" I really wish I had capture equipment so I could record this. It cracks me up.

Monsters she hates so far: Agnactor, Gobul, R. Ludroth in water, Uragaan Leno, Gigginox, and The Rath Spouses.

Monsters she likes: DURAMBOROS (wat?), G. Jaggi, Azuros, Lagombi, Niblesnarf, Peco, and somewhat Diablos.

Her tastes sure are different than mine.

 

[Liethe]

How much of the status effect is applied (including KO) while the monster is suffering from it?

None. After the monster recovers from a knock-out, poison, paralysis or what have you, you can then begin re-applying the status towards the refreshed tolerance of the monster.

 

[explodet]

This game needs a giant list of "I didn't know that!!" Like the respawning nodes, hitting + to stop the Objective Complete camera jumping, stuff like that.

Hell, someone I know has over 100 hours clocked in and just discovered equipment sets.

 

[NervousXtian]

I haven't found a great "advanced tips & tricks" guide yet.

 

[Chuckpebble]

My personal pro tips-

-In the combo list, select an item, press Y to re-order it, putting the combinations you'll use most on the front page of the quick access menu of the touch screen. This is amazing for gunners.

-When cooking meat, stare at the bone, it visibly changes brown when its well done. Use this in conjunction with the musical cues.

-Buy all of the monster guides from the shop lady on the left of the village.

-On 3DS, multitask out to the notes app to keep track of the parts you need for crafting. Be careful not to accidentally hit X too many times and close your game though.

As an aside, am I completely crazy that I actually prefer to fight Plessy in the water, on 3DS, with no CPP? I guess its a gunlance thing, but I just have such a hard time hitting anything on him when he's on land, but feel like I'm constantly shattering parts of him in the water.

 

[Ridley327]

Plesioth is definitely more challenging to fight on land than he is in the water. He takes so many breaks underwater that he's a wimp.

This fish is ridiculously weak to status ailments. Seriously, I can paralyse it up to 4 times with ease per combat (it's quite easy to aim it too). It's arguably the easiest monster online for me: I just have to keep it paralysed while the other hunters beat the crap out of it (and with some explosive ammos, I can even stun it).

 

[NeoRausch]

great shit!

didn't reach HR8 as planned today but was able to upgrade 4 hammers!

thanks for the ride guys!


btw.:

German GAF, I need "Mischpaterz". where to get and what is it called on English?

 

[SnakeswithLasers]

So I just started this on 3DS. It's my first MH game and I've always been pseudo-interested in the series.

Is there a good 'guide' of sorts on the philosophy of playing MH? Just more of an in-depth text article on the game and what it's about and how to think approach it.

What about guides for the weapon types, how to use them effectively, and what sort of play type you'll get with each? I'm futzing around a bit with the different types but since everything is obtuse, I don't feel that I'm really learning much by just wandering around mashing buttons on the different weapon types. I need some text to guide me. =)

It's an ore called "Meldspar Ore" in English. supposedly found in G-rank Volcano or Sandy Plains.

BTW: This is an awkward German word.

It's there, but it's the rare one. It'll take a few trips to get a couple of them.

 

[Nohar]

Because the RNG Goddess doesn't favor you.

FEAR HER WRATH!

All over the place in G rank. Uncommon, not totally balls-deep rare.

Skill/learning has a large bearing on how well you will proceed. So far I don't find the game very hard, but your IRL learning will have as much of an impact on how fast you're killing a monster as your gear. You may struggle at first on the first big monster you're fighting ever, but in a few days you'll dispatch him in a matter of moments.

Without using any potions!

You will learn how to use your weapon better, upgrade your weapon, learn how the monsters move, their behavior, where they head to rest. In every sense of the word, you will become a hunter. For now, you do have the starter set of every weapon available. I say roll with the one that looks the coolest to you.

If you're looking for an alternative, the Jhen Morhan DLC quest is a great source for Meldspar Ore and Purecrystals.

You really should be able to send messages to friends playing in Moga. Normally when you get online you're in a group fairly quickly; what's the point of being able to send messages then? I need to be able to say, "Dude, quit free hunting and get your ass over here!"

I don't get it either. Worse, if someone were to send you a message on miiverse, you'd never know unless you actually opened the app every time the pad flashed. Why on earth couldn't it be like ps3/vita/360/ etc and give you an onscreen message?

 

[explodet]

We recently fought 2 Baleful Gigginox. My partner got 3 Fearsome Maws, and was elated.

I then said "You know one of those maws came from a Giggi butt, right?"
The mood quickly soured.

 

[blackflag]

Been doing G-Rank solo for the most part. Soloed all of 7 star so far but man I hit the wall hard on the kill Rathalos & Steel Uragaan quest. I can kill one or the other but haven't done so well at getting them both yet. I'm basically depleted after 1. Gonna have to hop online to complete these harder multi monster fights.

How much are you saving by buying it used? If it's $5 or so, just spend the extra cash so that we can hopefully get MH4!

I'll be saving $10. And I'm still not sure about it even after the demo. But after trying Soul Sacrifice I much preferred the look and monsters of MH.

Buy used, try it within return period, return and get the new if you like it, return and keep the cash if you don't?

Buy the game new to support MH4 localization!

Once it's open I can't return it for the same value.

I want to fool around with bows. From reading this thread and comments, etc. i have the impression that the Kelbi Slingshot is pretty good. True?

Also, being a blademaster for my whole MH career, what are good gunner skills/armor sets to look out for?

 

[Porcile]

How do I get the map to display in Off-TV mode? Ive just got a question mark in the top right corner.

Kelbi Bow is pretty overpowered. You will need to make a set with awaken, though.
