Should I be focusing on raw or elemental or both for HH? I want to do some farming and my highest current raw is 874 but I also have Magia Charm with 552 raw + DR360. I'm playing solo right now so buffs don't matter to me at the moment.
HH is weird. Elemental is fine - you hit a lot more often than hammers. But song set actually takes priority.
And yes they do matter. Attack up small is I think 15% raw damage, which is actually pretty huge.
Fun fact: I have 1950 damage with my grongigas hammer when Beats uses his attack up large. With partbreaker I pretty much break sand barioth's tusks in one super pound.

I am into the single player finished the 1 and 2 star quests, looking to play around online, should I start doing online now, or maybe wait, I am super new to playing online, and do not get it at all! Thanks in advance for your patience, and help!

Rathian and Rathalos are by far my least favourite monster to hunt. It's not even the tail whip and incessant need to poison me, it's that damn charge. I'll be running towards them to attack them, be right near them and they'll charge Kayamba or Chacha, knocking me down and running all the way across the field :/
The damage is negligible but it's just so annoying since they use it so often.

Everyone else just emptied out, but I still need four more furs (and 5 luminous organs, which for some reason he will NOT drop! Any better way to get those?)
Anyway, still room if anyone wants to help out.

Ah that was fun. Went back to Ceadeus to complete the last uncompleted LR quest I had, slashed him up bad, and got two Deep Dragongems - didn't even know I wanted them 
Of course, this would've been handy had I been just starting out on HR, rather than after I had 'completed' it...

No better way than killing Goldbeard. Organs actually drop really often for me, stockpiled way too many :/ furs are the pain.
Man the home stretch in the village quests are all the monsters I hate haha. B.Diablos, G.Agna and S.Uragaan all one after another... 1 down 2 to go.
I've beaten like 6 or 7 Goldbeards today and not a single organ. Funny thing is, I got the gems pretty much right off the bat. Oh well, guess I'll just use the skills that optimize the rewards screen and hope I get lucky. Still need a few more furs anyway.

Dang, I didn't know that. Okay. I was just wondering because I was getting ready to farm some things for materials and was wondering if Elemental weaknesses made a huge difference. Okay, thanks

Solo Tanzia monsters have the same HP as their Moga counterparts, but the same attack (double) as Tanzia Multi.
I think.
So I just killed I.lagi in the village quests, I wanted to cap him and saw him try to limp off back to area 7, so I went first and lay my trap. He didn't come so I went back and he was stuck limping in the gap between the wall and a rock in the Jaggi area lol. He couldn't move out at all and just kept trying to limp forward so I had to kill it
But oh man that ending movie with Chacha and Kayamba LOL

Volvidon went down like a little bitch, it seems like the only tough 5-star fight is Lagi. Of course the fight to open up more quests is the capture of Lagi in the goddamn swamp. Luckily I crafted up some Durambos armor, it has water, lightning and dragon resist so it should make the fight a lot easier. Plus it heals the red portion of damage so fast it makes me feel immortal. Gonna make some Lagi armor after the catch for the fire guys that I have no doubt will be coming up next, since the Duram armor isn't resistant to it.

Epic story within.
I finally killed Alatreon. I've tried a few times before and today I attempted it four times. Final fight I went in with healing potions, max potions, and an ancient potion; mega dash, demon, and armor; honey, mushrooms, herbs, and had my Brachy longsword boosted with pyro. By the end of it I'd carted twice, cut the tail, and used up every potion but one mega potion. I hope Alatreon becomes available online because I swear that's the only way I'll ever fight it again.

No.
Though you can leglock Chameleos in MHFU but it requires 4 people with specific equipment and he'll die in 4-5 mins.

So for the OT2, what should I add? I know a beginner's section has been requested but I'm unsure what to put there.
I'd also like to add a section listing all the DLC and denoting this week's releases.
I break out of it with Giggi and Ian quite quickly. I mash A and rotate the left stick as fast as possible.

How do dung bombs help you from being pinned down?
Edit: took him down anyway, so frustrating when you lay a trap to capture him but he charges and knocks you down, getting trapped but not giving you enough time to get over and tranq him
got a gem and saliva from the kill anyway though.Throw it while you're pinned and you get out immediately.
Oh wow, how did I not know that? Guess I assumed all your items would be unusable.
So now I've completed most of the village, besides Alatreon. Don't really feel like going back and completing all the past quests to unlock all of that though. Maybe at some point. HR38 online so it almost feels like I've done everything at 140 odd hours. Guess from here it's just time to farm more sets and get my skill up in the meantime.
Thank GOD, finally finished a set of Goldbeard armor, so I'll be ready for G rank stuff. That was... a long day. I have like 100 shards, but it took soooooooooooo long to get enough furs. I even have about 10 of the dark gems sitting around. Goddamn those stupid furs so, so hard. Don't think I ever want to fight a Ceadeus again, lol. Thanks to everyone who helped me grind the damn thing over the course of the day.

Does anyone know if there's a list somewhere of the pre-G Rank armor sets that show the stats of each individual piece? It's kind of annoying right now having to wait until you have enough materials to get full sets to show up, and then having to write everything down if you're going after specific skills, instead of just complete sets. The wiki has that for G Rank stuff, but nothing before it.
I know dung bombs work, but I am either too lazy or simply don't want to worry about that extra slot preventing me from grabbing something else, so I rarely take them. I don't mash buttons to get out of being pinned though. You spin the L analog (Wii U anyway) rapidly and you're out in a few seconds. Probably not that much longer than it would take you to scroll through the damn item menu to find the bomb either, although I think being pinned increases your chances at being dizzy. Mashing buttons works for being dizzy, but I've never had it do anything for being pinned.

Is gemming Vitality useless if I always use Mega Nutrients to hit max HP, or will the max threshold raise if I have +10 Vitality?
Doesn't work with Jho for me. I always mash buttons and rotate the stick, it moves very slowly with Jho. And I always have dung bombs since high rank/G rank since unwanted monsters appear really often. Just never even thought of using them like I said above lol thought that item use would be locked when pinned.
Yes. 2 hours isn't really enough to experience all this has to offer. Like I said before I'm at 140+ hours now and I'm still not sick of it.

Depends on the person, and it also depends on the weapons you're using. From personal experience some weapons are simply not worth bothering with offline, or prior to having a high level armor set with skills that remove some of the suckage. It might also take you a while to get used to the terrible camera in this game (it's way too fucking close, even at it's farthest).
You might try jumping straight to online after crafting a few upgrades and ignoring offline. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying the Sword and Shield, Longsword or Lance as your offline weapons. Hammer too if you want a no-range and no tail-cutting weapon that's pretty powerful.
So I can just skip offline altogether?
i farmed it solo before i got to g rank
rustshard lance, b.diablos set. 5 dash juice and materials to make 5 more. guard+2 and know when to counter. the pattern is to last enough until the ballista is recharged, then bring it down from flight.
the fun part is making a lance from it and using it to kill it faster lol
I wouldn't if it's your first MonHun. I found the offline quests the perfect introduction to the game and they got me ready for the online stuff. Once you get up to the high rank stuff in the village you'll be more than good to go and will have some good equipment as well.
you can press y on the smith to bring the skills list and press x on that skill to show you what it does. i do that to check skill description.
i think its intentional that you will cart when jho pins you down. i always bring dung bombs and a lot of items just in case, i usually have 5 free slots left for carve.

You may want to reread my post. I wasn't asking how to view the skills on each piece that's already at the armorsmith. I want a list that shows complete sets with the stats of each piece individually. Otherwise, you have to wait until you have all of the materials required for complete sets (for each piece to appear, not necessarily enough to craft everything at once) before you can see exactly how much of a skill each piece gives. I don't want to have to write down every piece of gear I'm trying to compare for mixing and matching, but that's what I am required to do right now.

Oooh, managed to find a rath ruby in a shiny, with my second fight with him.
Should I save it or just go ahead and make the rath armour s?
Also how do I get the medulla?
