Just kill him, I'm fairly sure that horn isn't included in the cap rewards.
Edit: Wiki says it's a 64% chance of getting horns from breaking so you'll get them soon
Okay, that is great to hear. I would like to get the deluxe for the bigger hard drive built in and the little extras it comes with. Is there enough of a lower-level GAF community to go on hunts with?
High/G Gaf will help ya with the lower hunts if you want. Yesterday a couple Gaffers actually helped me run my GF (She was Leelee) through some of her first High Rank quests. It was pretty funny since we put both of our TV's and Wii U's next to each other. I would be fighting a monster while telling her which way to go since she didn't have a map.

IMO, very much yes. This entirely justifies my Wii U's existence.

Anyone up for HR3/4 Brachy farming? Just a couple times for me to get some Mystery Slimes and other things.
I'd be down, just let me know where.
Are you going on right now? I could give you a hand.
Meeee tooo.

OK, I'll be on after I transfer. Someone can make a room if they're on already.

So we'll play Wednesday when your download and install is finished?
Jokes aside, congrats. I recommend doing the village until you kill the first big monster, or first couple. That will help you get the basis of how everything works. Now you can start watching your gametime counter soar. I think I may have hit 200 hours last night.
FP3 > L9 > ePen-GAF > . See you out there.

he's got two types of trades.
1. regular commodities
2. rare trades
The former includes items like fertilizer for your farm, sonic bombs, pitfall traps etc. You trade for these items with commodities, which you generally find in free hunting (exit the village from the right) or are retrieved by the fishing fleet (certain types of fish are valuable). You trade by selecting your commodities and offering them for trade which fills your top bar representing their value, and then you pick his items to fill the bottom bar. He'll only accept trades of equal or greater value than his own offerings. You then complete the trade and can send your stuff to your box. Sometimes certain items are worth more or less, you might get discounts or things you want might be extra expensive that day.
The latter is the important one. You only get rare commodities by hunting large monsters in the moga woods. For example you talk to Junior and check the moga forecast, and it shows a Royal Ludroth in the woods today. So you exit the village from the right, and there will be one of those wandering around the woods. If you kill or capture (capture has higher chance of yielding rewards) you'll get X resources for doing so and when you return to Junior and ask for a hunt report, you'll get some stuff. This might include a rare trade item, its value denoted by stars. For example Royal Ludroth might drop ancient skin oil worth two stars.
This can then be traded with the captain for any two star item or two one star items. You can't get a 4 star item by trading two 2 star items, you need a 4 star item of your own. This is a very important system because it's the only way to upgrade your fishing fleet and get certain masks for your allies. There's also furnishings and such for your house once you have all the important junk.
The last thing to know about is arranging for him to make or skip stops. This is simple - if you know you don't need certain items (like farm fertilizers, or hunting items like traps) you can have him skip that destination and he'll return to the village sooner. Beware because during a few parts of the storyline he'll get stuck in port for a long time and if you skipped a location he won't get that stock back until after you progress past that event.
look at it this way: do you think that a 10% increase in KO damage will allow you to get 3 KOs per quest instead of 2, or 2 instead of 1? Because if it doesn't, the skill did nothing. And if it does, how much extra damage did that even result in? There's way more important skills to have for damage or defense.
Hahahaa! Congrats!First attempt of the day:
Never again!

Got two Brachydios Gems from hunting with you guys! You guys must be good luck.
Great advice, read your post and slept on it, thanks!
Oh my god, why isn't Alatreon available online? Finally an elder dragon that's incredibly fun to battle.
Azure Rathalos has better drop rates on it. Go after him, instead.
I can't get over how awesome Rock Steady is: you get near HG Earplugs (it doesn't work on the Diablos screech and Gigginox, but that's about it!), Knockback resistance, and what appears to be low variants of Current and Wind Res, all in one skill.
yep I opted for rock steady instead of focus in my new GS set. Shame I can't get both along with sharpness+1, crit draw and quick sheathing.

Luckily there is something, but thanks all the same for the kind offer
Cheers!
I searched, but clearly not well enough.
Man..... some of those look pretty rough!
I gotta catch them all though.
It doesn't chop off like most tails, but it has two stages of breaking. One where it chips, another where the casing pops off. Once it's chipped, you can mine it when he falls over for a chance of a Tailbone. Once the case pops off, you can carve that part for another chance of a Tailbone. You'll then have a chance in Wound Rewards too.
Awesome info. Thanks!
Is anyone going to the Monster Hunter event at Capcom HQ tomorrow? I signed up and such but I don't remember receiving any sort of confirmation e-mail (as it seemed like a raffle entry more than a RSVP). I'd just hate to drive there from the south bay and then they say "Oh, you didn't get in."

Failed Plesioth twice last week, did a bunch of online stuff including grinding Pink Rathian and Brachy, and thanks to my Dios Blade and Rath Heart armor took him down in like 15 minutes. He was doing so little damage to me compared to before, guess that's the difference between LR and HR armor!

Did you make an anime emotion pack for that chrome extension?

Holy smokes! The game download is almost finished, phew. Started playing on the 3DS to help the wait.
I was thinking the same thing - gonna get familiar with the game before hoping online. Looking forward to it!

Pretty much that is what i've been doing. I haven't touched Monster Hunter since P2G/FU on the PSP and even that one i didn't grind that much.
I ordered today a CPP for my XL from the NoA store, in case i find people in Houston to play with locally.

Sorry about the delay... 135 hours of playing will do that!
Hi all! Finally wanted to say hello to all of you! My brother and I are proud MonHun 3DS owners, although I play on the XL with CPP and he on my old 3DS (hand me down or not, it is his Monster Hunter player!)
Just wanted to say hello... and also brag about my brother's newest project: Monster Hunter Monsters, starting with The bird wyverns! What is this? Well, my brother makes custom clay things (Megabloks, Lego, ponies, etc...) So far, he made a Gobul! With a removable tail! Pics to share...
(Note, he is aware of the size differentiation... the scale is alright, but some proportions are off.. but based upon a minifig being equal to a 6 foot man, or something)
Sorry to spam pics/links... grinding for Lagi claws.. I swear I have STUPID luck! First Jinorgua I fight? First carve? A Jasper!!!! Sapphire for Lagi? Two already (and three plates), But CLAWS/Claw +'s ? I GET NOTHING!!!
(This is why I killed over 150 in Tri as well... plus.. I like Lagi! ;p )

Wait!...Can you carve at a monster when it falls over stunned?!
I hadn't seen anything about Brach before this game, so the combination of that awesome theme and finding out just how agile he was became a rather memorable mix. Zinogre was the same thing.

Dawwww, I won't be able to play until sunday evening :'-(. And I just finished a new armor set...
Some monsters have some rather unique properties to them when they're knocked over; you can mine off the backs of the Uragaans, you can catch bugs on the back of the Zinogres, and Durambros allows you to mine his tail when it reaches its first break and he on the ground after launching himself from a lariat.
