Which gunlance is that? Maybe I'm playing it wrong, but my Jho gunlance lasts quite a bit before needing a sharpening, unlike my dual blades. I tend to play the gunlance defensively though, and I use the wyvernfire only when I feel very sure it won't miss (such as when the monster is knocked down, trapped, etc.).
Grrrrr. That's what I hate about stupid rare drops like that. It's broken as fuck. Also, when you get that rare gem or whatever after you finished your set and don't need it anymore. But you can't bring yourself to sell it, just in case you ever want to make another rare set and such... >_<

Got to the volcano in single player and did most of the quests. The monsters arecstarting to het huuuge. Duremboros(?), was crazy, and it took ages to kill it. And then I ran, unprepaired, into a Volvidon(?, that rolling motherfucker), in a gathering quests. If I hadn't run out of cool drinks I would have had it.
Also, I've already spent 50 hours on this game, and barely feel like I've started probably, grinding notwithstanding, there really is a huge amount of content in this game.

Yup. Just found I can mass combine just by holding A, as opposed to tapping A over and over and over and over and over and over again.
FML. At least it gets better from here eh?

I'm heading online now, any GAF rooms open?
I salute your broken and battered finger. Even holding is a bother when you're making hundreds of Potions and Mega Potions at a time.
oh god you tapped?

Diablos charging into another monster in the same area is extremely satisfying. Once he hit a Volvi in mid-roll, knocked him back and out cold (not seeing stars, but lying face down, tongue hanging out). Oh, how we laughed and laughed.
I have been playing this series almost non-stop for 4 years and have never noticed this...

get in while it's hot!
Filled already! GAF rooms in hot demand.
I love Artian armour.
I love the kushy's armor. I had a mixed set of it for aesthetics and just casual hunting. I don't think I ever made the GRank ceantuar though. I think I had the Hermitaur? for fun though.

I'll probably be starting a GAF room shortly after I get these last two PITA fragments.
ARGH. Because then I need Uragaan SnS.

FUCK YOU DESIRE SENSOR!!!
Spend three hours saving and reloading to try and get the 3 Long Fragments I needed. (And finally succeed)
Move onto "Large" Fragments.
Think, "Oh well this'll be easy, I can send all three ships out and not worry about them being 4 star!"
30 minutes later, nothing. Notice one of my ships is 4 star, send it out.
Brings back 2 Long Fragments. No Large Fragments yet.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

It's the chariot gun, I need some stuff to get the last upgrade. Pretty short white line, it turns blue in a minute.
What's also somewhat obscure is that you can permanently reorder the positions of items in the combination list by grabbing an item with "Y" and slotting it into a new position. I've sorted my list so that the most common shots I use are first in the list, even before using the "combinable" resort.
That's a good tip I need to try. When I need to make more shots I use the touch pad of the 3ds and cycle through pages while running and dodging.
I just found out this recently. Super useful when you forget to synthesize a farcaster during the Arena and Tower quests and need to do so while the monster is in the same area.
Details?

I'll be on in a few.
dat mass exodus
I had to go offline anyway, but picking Jhen is the most surefire way to empty a room (sry Camille).
We killed it. With 2 mins left on the clock though. I'm terrible at Jhens.

YUP.
I should have brought some pierce action though.
Lol, sorry. I really did have to get some breakfast though!

I rate Ceadeus as more dull just because at least if you hit Jhen hard enough he'll skip over long sections of the fight and move directly to the final showdown where you can finish him off as soon as he comes into range. With Ceadeus, that long slog down the tunnel is pretty much guaranteed unless you blow up some of the obstacles in his path to speed things up - which looks like a bit of a pain also.
I was trying to look up some MH3U gameplay footage earlier and does it seem to anyone else like there are only painfully unskilled "WHAT IS A VIDEO GAME? WHICH BUTTON DO I PRESS" and ultra hardcore speedrun videos? I wanted to show someone what it's like for most people playing the game, people who aren't clueless but aren't gods yet either, but it was kind of hard to find any multiplayer videos like that especially with commentary.
You try Twitch? I know there are plenty of people there that stream their hunts and are neither pros nor entirely clueless. I would think there has to be more videos there of the kind that you are looking for, possibly (more likely?) even a livestream.
I have a punish draw/crit draw/speed sheathe/sharp+1/tremor resist set that's a ton of fun to use. It only needs Snaf and Blos parts.
Neato, got a break down?
Nibelsnarf X Greaves, Diablos X everything else gives everything but Punishing Draw with any 3 slot charm.
Looks like I need to fight Gold Rath, Silver Rath, and that thing that begins with an A from Tri to unlock SSJhen.
