Who wants to party up for some G Rank stuff? Wanted to record a few hunts.
I'll be on in 20 mins.

Dude you got the worst luck. You DC'd no more than 1 or 2mins before we finished it. I'm taking a break for dinner, I'll be back in a few.
I know. I decided not to abandon the quest and managed to finish it myself. Got a Dragonsphire out of it too!
Up to play online if there's a room.
HR 5 quest: Jump the Sharq!
You have to slay 30 Sharq(and a Ludroth).
It's the quickest way to collect it.

I took the plunge and opened one aside from Andrin's.
Sorry about that, my glasses fell apart on me and I had to fix them.

So is there a G-Rank or High Rank for all armors?

I think so. At least there is for HR - I'm not G yet.
Yes, there is. Some armors are only HR and G, and there are a few G only ones.

Sorry Toshi, but I'm not really sure what are you asking?

When I was looking into the armor sets I saw like Barroth U. So I was wondering if all armor has a + or U set.
Edit: LOL I was asking because I was making Low Rank armor just to collect it all.

Don't bother collecting low or high rank armors, just make few that will help you go through those ranks. Once you hit G you won't use them at all.

The U and Z armours are for subspecies sets in HR and G-Rank, like Jade Barroth.

Ah thank you.
B-but they all look different
I need to make a character of the opposite gender soon too.H3rTz DoNuT

Ah thank you.

Then good luck to you, I hope you have a lot of free time
If you want to make all low, high and g rank armors you should also go for all the weapons too NekoToshiro
Member
Then good luck to you
I'm trying but the weapon chart. . . . Its just so daunting to look at.
kill, cut off tail, check all shinies. Maybe eat for felyne carver too.

So is the percentages different for items depending on if you cap or kill?

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
It's "Yo Jho", thank you very much.
I might hop on this afternoon to play. Probably going to farm Zinogre for armor. My Wroggi S is getting long in the tooth. Anyone up for that?
I'll join you. I need a Brachy gem to upgrade my slicers.

Yes, and capturing always gives you 3 rewards (unless you have Capture Pro/Expert), while you can sometimes carve more than 3 times. Nevertheless, I prefer capturing myself because you usually get a higher chance at the rarer items and you can end the quest faster.
Use Monster Hunter Dex to determine if it's better to kill or capture.
NekoToshiro

Thank you. Don't forget the nice bonus for breaks and cuts though. Well it always seems to give more when I break and cut their special parts more.
I'm eating Buffalo wings and this piece reminded me of barroth's scalp, coverd in fertile ranch.

Fun hunts with Arveene, Setveen, Khory, Finn and Beje!
Special shoutout to Setveen's quest for a simple Nightmarish Maw while everyone else got like 10 of them. The densire sensor is a cruel mistress. ;_;
I think I have enough Gigginox stuff to make most of its equipment now. >_>

I hate everything about gigginox
Never mind, you were right, I need a 2 week break after all that farming I think.

It's not like I want to poison you or anything....baka hunter!
I'm cooking dinner for the week right now, but I'll be on later for Zinogre farmi. Looking forward to making that sweet looking set.
Well, it's a toss up between Rath Soul and Zinogre. What say you, GAF?
Haunted
Member
Told you!
Either really take a break or do some fun casual stuff with other GAFers to rekindle your love. Tediousness coupled with frequent failure is a killer for any sort of motivation or enjoyment.
If you go for looks, Zinogre all the way. I've just made the Stygian set and it looks great.
My favourite looking sets in the game are Joe and Bari G-Rank, so classy.
thetrin
Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Yeah, for me, it's a split between looks and useful skills. Gloves off seems useful, and I can upgrade the def to make me not completely fall apart heading into G Rank.
Or should I be doing early G Rank farming for armor?
My Wroggi S armor upgraded is equivalent to base Zinogre def, so it would be stupid for me not to make a set and outfit it with new gems and upgrades.
I also got a Goldbeard gem when I defeated him the other day. Is that used in his armor or his weapons?
Haunted

Well, like you're saying, early G-Rank and late High Rank armours are on similar defense levels, but you should be looking out for G-Rank armour that interests you heading into HR6 and beyond. Upgraded Zinogre should do nicely for those 6* quests, though.
He drops both Deep and Dark Dragongems, so depending which you got they're used for different armour pieces and his weapon [upgrades]. Kiranico has expanded to include most of the item and monster info now, so that's a great resource to look this stuff up.
Talking about things that make you want to stop playing, I just learned I need some High Rank Jhen Mohran materials for a certain Longsword because the goddamn Joe Sword doesn't have Dragon Element without Awaken. ;_;

Yeah. I just want some armor that will serve me well for HR6 and farming armor I will be going onward with. If Zinogre lasts me up until whatever G Rank armor I want to make, that would be perfect.Well, like you're saying, early G-Rank and late High Rank armours are on similar defense levels, but you should be looking out for G-Rank armour that interests you heading into HR6 and beyond.

For hammer users, do you find it difficult to do a pound to the head? Seems like very little opportunity. I only KO him once during my first fight with him.
Some monsters can be a pain because of their height, but usually, no I don't have any issues. Even in a large party, most people will know to let the hammer / hunting horn users at the head. You don't always have to super pound, although you should be trying to get plenty of those in. The golf swing at the end of the basic combo will deal a lot of KO damage too.
Which one were you specifically having trouble with?

Sorry... Forgot to mention it was Stygian Zinogre. Fine with the rest so far.
Oh man, unlocked Mark of a Hero and it just obliterated me. To be fair I wasn't playing great and forgot to eat any food before taking it, but I didn't even make it past the Ivory Lagi. Even his little walk cycle hit was taking about a third to half of my life. Ugh. So yeah, I guess I'll grind for some better armor before trying to finish off the single player.
Also, at about 75 hours in, I have finally discovered that I can do the Hunters for Hire thing. To be fair, it doesn't seem to have great payoff, but any extra source of G rank monster parts is a plus.

I like sending the hunters for hire to do G rank gathering at the volcano, 50% of the time i'll get a tru armor sphere
