A) So it only matters if they are actively weak to the element? (As in: Only monsters WEAK to Water will be hurt by it; not any monster other than ones STRONG to Water.)
B) I thought there was something about status ailment proc-rate or threshold. How does that work? (A link to a guide would be fine, or I'll just look for one later when I have more time; I'm just not sure what the terms are in this game.) My guess on this is that elemental is purely a damage thing, and status effects (poison, para, ???) are a proc or threshold thing?
Ah indeed!there's also a skill for carve one more time too.I don't know the name in english,Pro carver maybe?the Lucent Narga armor has this skill activated.

Anyone have any quick resource point gathering tips?
I'm a little bored killing R. Ludroth over and over again.

A. Correct; it gets ignored otherwise
B. Status works in the way that you think it does; rather than applying additional damage to a monster, it puts points towards their threshold for that particular status. Once you go past it, the status is inflicted, but then the counter resets once it hits it, and in most cases will require even more points to inflict it again.
Yes, we did a good job.
I'll send you a list of useful links Andrex, for OT2. I've procrastinated on putting it in the second post lol
Even though I feel like i'm progressing slowly compared to you guys, I am happy to be in a nice community.
I've had good runs from people in here and it's always been a positive experience.
Life finds a way...
Lol I realized that half way through and didn't bother changing the first half.

Awesome. I love systems.
So unless I am fighting something weak to an element, the only thing that matters is raw damage (for ele purposes).
Are poison, para, sleep, KO, (and are there others?) basically effective against everyone?
Hmm, yeah I just looked at the weakness chart, there's actually a bunch weak to fire so I guess I'll keep. Will make i. Lagi quicker.
Exhaust kinda counts as a status effect, even though it merely helps to make their stamina deplete faster.
As for the question at hand, monsters are typically susceptible to every status effect, barring the giant elder dragons.

The Argosy Captain's been sticking around for a really long time? Will he not leave until I beat Brachydios? I'm not ready yet
He's doing the same thing in my game and he has *not* left after defeating Brachydios.
I don't know what to do to get him to leave - I've even advanced onto the 8 star village quests but he still just sticks around. Means I can't get bizzy bees to finish upgrading my farm's honey production or get other stuff I'd like (like some new masks) because he won't ever change his inventory.
Feels like a bug to me and from the little bit of research I could find online it seems like it is a bug that apparently may work itself out eventually but it just continues to frustrate me...

It's not a bug. He'll leave eventually. I think he gets stuck in port again at a later phase so maybe you progressed into that one already?
But yeah I made the mistake of having him skip a bunch of ports right before that happened.

Kill or Capture Uragaan to get lava nuggets. You get about 1500 I think per nugget and I usually get at least 2 per run. The most I've ever gotten from him was 8.

New to G-rank, I grinded the 2x Jaggi + 2x Volvidon quest to get the materials for Jaggi X, did a bit of harvesting and checked the blacksmith to see what new armor sets I could make. Suddenly I understood the whole new world of grinding that opened up before me like a dark sinkhole from hell, inviting me to throw the rest of my life away. The 160 hours spent so far feel like practice. I feel small and meaningless and my controller is starting to talk to me.

This post gets a 11/10.
I'm a fan of Monster Hunter, so I am a bit biased, but I think the 3DS version is totally worth it. I think of Monster Hunter like the Smash Bros series. It is really fun alone and worth it, but multiplayer is where the game shines.
I have nearly 200 hours and am still not done and having a blast.
Nope. There is a sort of an "ad-hoc like" solution.
:lol

There isn't online in the 3DS?

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
So, beat Caedus.. and went to do the first HR village quest (3DS)... holy shit did thinks ramp up quick.
I beat him pretty easily.. but it took FOREVER.. and I was out of potions.. I was fighting reckless though as I thought since cutting his tail was so easy that he'd fall quick.
I was so wrong.

I thought bows could take off tails? Or is it just a super pain in the ass?

The bow's melee can cut off tails, but I don't recommend doing this.

Just beat my first Deviljho!!! I gotta say, I'm pretty proud of myself. Ran away the first four times he sneaked in my quest and finally decided today was the day to hunt back!
He actually was... not that bad. I remember Rajang being worse, God I hate Rajang...

Better or worse at tail cutting than SNS?

Man, it's weird. I *hope* this game really hooks me, but I'm just not quite there. I can see correlations to Diablo 2 in a lot of it, but it isn't infecting my brain in the same way. It might just be that I haven't found a weapon or tactic that I am married to yet.

Wait, is the "use your Wii U to play the 3DS version online" thing out in the US? I was under the impression that the packet relay tool hadn't been released yet.
It's been out since the week of release.

Wait, I can't play MH online if I only have it on 3DS? =O
you can, but not without a wiiu.
Nope, gotta buy a Wii U if you want the good version. Join us!
About to hop on to hopefully get to G-Rank. Just have Jho and Gold Caedeus left.

So long winded. Probably use 50 mins up trying to slice it off. Need some Razor Coating added or something. Really annoying having to make another set just to chop bits off.
Oh well. Made a LS and will chop enough bits to make my gear. Unfortunately I know tail cuts are a thing all through the game.
What weapon are you using? I thin the draw for me is trying to progress. Sometimes the path is not really clear unless you do some research as to what path you want to go. Huge gear time-sink in MH, mainly due to having to make everything.

Join this game peoples!!!! We got room for two more
I just left and you already want to replace me? I thought we had something special :'(
Were some nice hunts, but you need to practice laying traps lol
Finally arrived in G-rank! Goldbeard Ceadeus was easier than i thought, he was down in 30 minutes on my first-ish try. Even though the fight is a lot more bearable than the regular Ceadeus, i'm not sure if i want to farm him for his set. But luckily (i really have had too much luck in this game) both a dark and a deep dragongem dropped, i might as well do it..
Also tried Mark of a Hero. The Ivory Lagiacrus was super HUGE and was doable with my Lagiacrus U set, but the Brachy A.Los combo brought me to my knees :f

Right now I'm jumping back and forth between SNS and GS.
I'm interested in bow too, but haven't had much success with it. I might build the best one I can, and just go hunt g. jaggies until I get the hang of it. Aiming is a pain in the arse.
(I'm totally new to the series, only about 20 hours, and just beat Royal Ludroth. Have yet to attempt the poison jaggie thing or the barroth.)

Yeah, you need to run a "Packet Relay Tool" app that is a free download for the Wii U in order to take the 3DS version of the game online. You do NOT need to own the Wii U version of the game itself in order to do this, but you do need to have a Wii U console. Think PSP -> PS3 Ad-Hoc Party, except this is specifically for MH3U.
