Not much harder than Tri, maybe a tiny bit. Some of the nerfs to returning dos monsters are pretty shameless. Khezu's become a fat, harmless, prancing thunder chickin *cries*. Difficulty is pretty soft throughout, gets a little more interesting at the end. Late game monsters can get a little tough, probably a bit more than in 3U. High lvl (guild quest) kush, teo, jang... Even with a decent group, it's never a guaranteed win. Some attacks can 1-shot even a decent blademaster set.
There's no quest that has to be done in multiplayer. Even the crazy super-sized event monsters can be done solo if you're dedicated enough. But it's a good idea to do a lot of the Moga quests first since all the monster health is balanced for a single player. On the Port side, everything has about 25% more health than its Moga counterparts which will make those quests more challenging if you're just starting out, though you'll need to get to them eventually in order to reach G rank.
There's pictures of all the small monsters in the Monster Hunter wiki. Or, you can always check the quest status from the menu to see how many small monsters are left to see if you're making progress.
Yamato/Hyuga Prime from Hallowed Jhen might be a good choice. You get Sharpness +1 and Razor Sharp on the same set and a pretty good slot distribution (2, 3 slot pieces and 1, 2 slot piece).
I learned all the basics from mazereon's bowgun guide and corresponding video. And since I had no idea what I was doing at first either, I also picked up the BradyGames guide which has a ton of info on weapons, armor sets, monster hitzones, drop rates and so on. But these days, sites like Kiranico have a lot of that same info in a convenient hyperlinked format.is there any in depth guide for the game, like game mechanics etc? I need something to play this summer
I'm always glad to help.Sassy that Alatreon was intense, holy shit. And to think someone people can actually solo it... BYE
Thanks for helping me!
Technically that's a G-Rank quest with a G-Rank monster, so congrats!
Grats that's a pretty rare item. And the Dios weapons are very good yeah. They're basically my go-to weapons when I don't have a good elemental weapon which the monster is weak against.I upgraded my Dios Spear and killed gold beard with it. Why I didn't use my lance before I have no idea. >8)
I got a Deep Gem in the rewards. Haven't seen what it is used for yet but I've played enough to know I want all the Gems in the world.
HR6! Yay, finally!
Off the top of my head, giggi maybe? Believe it has awaken and status. If you're feeling particularly cheeky, go for the giggi gunner set (status) with kitty kettle. The only thing more awesome than annoying the shit out of your teammates with non-stop kitty sounds is status whooping a monster for successive para-sleep/bomb-poison over and over again. As long as you don't plan on dealing much dmg at all, you're in for a laugh.
These are both great ideas, thanks. I don't I've ever seen someone use the Kitty Kettle. o_o
Hey, Europe here as well, and I do have one of my alts at around HR6 or 7. Let me know if you want to play some this weekend.
With an Expert +9 charm or better, you can get pretty much the same thing using full Miralis. It's a very popular Mizar's setup, apparently. But I've found Evade Extender to be handy against Alatreon and I'm not sure I'd want to use something quite so weak to dragon attack either.Man, I had been awake for about 30 hours, otherwise I would have stayed to help.
If you're willing to sacrifice Evade Extender, you could go for a set like this.
Latent Power seems like the least useful of the glowing arm skills. But as you say, it's better than nothing!
Escadora X is a great light bowgunning set that's chock full of handy skills. Barioth Z is good for heavy bowgunning since it offers Attack Up (M) and Evade Extender outright with room for one of the Shot Up skills. Though for something truly unusual, there's always Bnahabra X with Status Atk +2, Quick Sheath and 4 points of Loading. That's probably work well with the status-heavy Arken Antiphon heavy bowgun.
Depends... Do you want to be Marked as a Hero™?
Sure. What's your NNID? Mine is Garteal, feel free to add me whoever wants to hunt.
lol no clue, my WiiU aint seeing much use. I think it's Fistwell or Fatass or some such. I'll send you a friend req before the weekend.
