You can't post screens. I just drew it. Poorly.
It has a bit of a learning curve, but every weapon in this game does.
Just checked and it's not.

Ok guys! I just had my first 1 1/2 hrs into MH and I have some obnoxious noob questions i'd love answered if you don't mind 
1.) is it really worth spending money on armor/weapons or is it better spent on resources and gear, like pickaxes?
2) Do you automatically leanr new combinations for items or do you have to purchase those combo books to get new recipes?
3) is there a way to see what drops what resource? So, for example, I really want 'bone' to make a bone kris, but I can't seem to find that yet.
4) Is it worth selling stuff you loot? It seems to me that honey is super valuable (to make large pots), but are these other things, like this fish thing i got, just trash to sell? How do i know what's trash to sell?
I think that's it!

I like it. 3ds version. I wish the resolution was sharper but its a upgrade from the Wii one. Is the Wii U version much sharper like a night and day difference?
I love how you can transfer saves. And playing without 2nd analog isn't so bad. The lock on makes up for it. And wish circle pad pro for xl came to the states.

1.) Invest more in armor and weapons (mostly forging unless you see something really good in the store to use as a base, or you cant make it yet). You can mostly combine things to make pickaxes and so on.
2.) You only learn a combo by experimenting. Books only help the success rate go up.
4.) Most of the sell only items will say for trading in bulk or have little notes about pocket change. After awhile you'll have your SP farm in Moga Village up and running, so alot of this stuff will flow freely in no time.

1)Spend money and time on armor/weapons when you feel like you need it or hit a wall. Pickaxes and nets are pretty cheap so don't fret about them.
2)You don't need books, just make stuff. You can find combination lists on the MH Wiki.
3) Wiki or the Brady guide.
4. Keep your loot. Everything has a use. A lot of the fishes are used to make ammo for bowguns. IIRC money isn't a big problem later in the game with a little farm manipulation.

1. You can make any weapon or armor that is in the shop. So it comes down to would you rather hoard the components or the money.
2. You learn combinations by doing them. The books make the combos less likely to turn into junk.
3. Nope, just explore or I guess use a guide. Bones are in bone piles.
4. Money is an issue early on but generally try to keep monster parts for armor and weapons later. Stuff like honey, well if you found it once, you can find it usually at the same place. When you get your farm and boats really moving money can become a non-issue. You know what you don't need after testing the combinations and seeing what you don't use.

This is just how I play...and I'm an idiot. Use money for gathering resources. Use bits to make gear.
In the past...you had to discover them. I believe some are pre-loaded with this game however. Experiment. I usually go through a combo-discovery session each time I go up a new tier of quests.
Monster Hunter wikis will help with that but I don't like using them. Monster Hunter is really rewarding for those that want to experience a sense of discovery. So...discover.
I don't sell anything until I know what it combos into and even then I wait until I have around forty or fifty of something before I consider selling a few.
SOME things are meant for selling however. It's pretty obvious however once you find them.

1) Always have resources and gear. Armor is all about the skills it offers, the defense is much less important. Personally, I probably won't swap out of Leather until the midway. I like my fast resource gathering and whim, haha. It saves me money!Ok guys! I just had my first 1 1/2 hrs into MH and I have some obnoxious noob questions i'd love answered if you don't mind

2) You learn them. Combo books enhance your combination rate, they don't teach you combos.
3) No. It's usually pretty easy to figure out where things come from, though. Bones, for example, come from the piles of bones you see around on the ground.
4) Unless the game specifically says the item is only worth selling, it has a use somewhere. That doesn't mean you want to use it, but that's how you know. I keep everything and only sell when I'm desperate.
I know how that feels - my sympathies.
Why would anyone here know the answer to that? All I can say is that many people hopes Tri would get ported, and it didn't.

Can you elaborate on this? I've kind of just been going off defense for my first set.

Ok, I checked my fishing haul in the table, and got redirected to the japanese version wherein I see a table in which the row marked 1 has an x in all columns. Does this mean I landed on table 1? If so, is it a good table? (I know it's not cursed, I just want to know how good it is).
Thanks

Gah, how do I save my game? I'm so sleepy. :<
Ok, guess either no one is ready to jump in or they're all already playing. Closing my room down.
Start off with a jaggi set since it has good attack bonuses. Iit doesn't do a whole lot to take 45 damage instead of 50 -- you're going to want to heal when you get the chance either way.

It means you dun goofed. Double check to make sure that you put in the correct fish and the quantity. You should get circles in possible tables within the row. I had one circle in T10 and X's in the rest, so I know I'm on table 10.

Monster Hunter is a lot like old action games. You aren't supposed to be tanking hits and trying to "out DPS" the boss. You're supposed to be smart and tactical in your approach, minimizing the damage you take while optimizing what you put out. If you're new to the game, you're getting hit a lot: that's normal. When you get good at the game, though, you will get hit 2-3 times per hunt at max. So what is your defense doing for you there? Nothing.
Instead, you could focus on an armor set that boosts your damage output. Maybe this set also has good defense (it usually does), but the point is that defense is not your end goal. It's gravy. If you get armor skills that let you do your job better, you get hit less.
Example 1:
My Hammer set in Tri had:
HG Earplugs
Sharpness +1
Evasion +2
HG Earplugs make me immune to monster roars. That's a free pound on the head. Sharpness +1 adds not just to damage, but KO damage (faster knockout times). Evasion +2 lets me roll through pretty much anything, which means I can be more aggressive and "in the monster's face" than I would be able to otherwise. Less time positioning, etc. All of these skills help me maximize my ability to KO the monster faster and more often.
Example 2:
My Great Sword set in Tri had:
Attack Up (L)
Critical Draw
Sharpness +1
Great Swords are hit-and-run weapons. You pull it out, WHAM, sheathe, and then look for another good pot shot. They are not about sustained DPS, like Long Swords. Critical Draw makes all attacks that come out of a sheathed stance auto-critical. This damage adds up. Sharpness +1 and Attack Up (L) further maximize damage; basically, every snipe with a Great Sword hurts the monster like hell. This makes the monster topple more often, which lets teammates break parts and KO/paralyze it, which means more big hits for you and more topples. It's a wonderful train that keeps on giving once the monster goes down once.
I hope that helps explain why armor skills are so important in this game. Whether I have 300 or 400 defense on my Great Sword doesn't matter, because I'm not getting hit as long as I play the game right. The damage always makes a difference, though.

This one specifically was only on Wii (original version, anyway), Wii U, and 3DS.
I suspect Nintendo has this game pretty locked down.
Ah ok, I got this now. How do I narrow it down?
EDIT: ok, I have to do more fishing trips and report the results.

Portable 3rd was also based on Tri and was released on PSP and PS3 (HD Ver.) It had new monsters and areas and removed water combat, but it was still Tri-based.

You send your ship out to another run, and then you put in the results in the second row after your first set. Continue until you identify your table.
Luckily got Table 10 on my first attempt.

Is Portable 3rd completely different? I assumed it was the half step between Tri and 3G U.
yeah that's what I thought

Once in a lifetime event occurred on the subway just now.
So I'm playing MH3U on my way back from work and I just capturing R.Lud. When this guy taps my shoulder and he's holding his 3DS sayng, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I just got that game. I'm creating my character right now."
So after he is done creating his character, we sit on the subway questing together for a little while. It was awesome. I hope it happens again, but I doubt it will.

It's a completely different game I think.
I've always been under the impression that the portable series and the numbered series were different.
Did anyone get a Club Nintendo code for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U retail ? Mine did not have one... but my Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate 3DS has one. Also in Canada if it makes a difference..

But 3G is a portable game?
Regardless, if it turns out it is significantly different I might get Portable 3rd for PSP later on.
It'll either auto register when you play on Wii U while online, or you're not getting anything. No one reported one with the Wii U version.
Maybe he really means the PSP games.
