Monster Hunter 4 |OT| Slay 'em, Skin 'em, Wear 'em

I read a thread on gamefaq's where people mentioned the game did not come with the Goa Magara bundle. The game was not on the included SD card nor was there a physical cartridge. Be careful, it seems those who ordered from Nippon Yassan were the ones without the game.

*edit* - So actually it was the Goa bundle that had this problem, I'm sorry for that mistake.

I am looking at that Nippon site..what is the difference between the model numbers for the regular LL?

Example is the all white one and this pink one

Is it just for color?
Just the color.

I read a thread on gamefaq's where people mentioned the game did not come with this package. The game was not on the included SD card nor was there a physical cartridge. Be careful, it seems those who ordered from Nippon Yassan were the ones without the game. I think
The physical game is included in both bundle.

I understand that but some were saying it did not come with it as in it was not in the package. They mentioned that they ordered from NY so thought I'd mention it.
That's weird. I guess they can just contact Nippon Yasan to resend the game. Most that received do have the game inside.
 
Yeah, I'm not sure what happened with that, hope no one here has that problem. Edited my first post about this since I got the bundles mixed up.

Really hoping I don't have this issue, mine should probably be here by Wednesday?

Just cleared all 3* guild quests including that pesky powderstone delivery mission. I found it MUCH worse than the 6* village egg delivery quest. Ugh. Not looking forward to any more delivery quests in high rank... >.<

Got my Goa MH4 bundle from Nippon Yasan, and while they were a bit slow to ship it, the game was included.

Only a few hours into the game. I've been a longtime lance user, and at first I was going to try to learn one of the new weapons, but just not getting the hang of them.

1) Press the blue button, bottom left on touch screen (world map),
2) Press the middle rectangle in the line on top of bottom screen,
3) Following menu is like: (top) offline, (middle) local, (bottom) online, choose online,
4) Next menu is (top) make a room, (middle) find a room, (bottom) play monhun4 with based gaf friends.

thanks! managed to get online and do a few hunts :D

To buy the regular white one for 186+MH4 or the MH4 bundle..big price difference for just...one game.
Facing the same situation, went for the cheaper solution myself, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. The regular LL feels and looks much nicer than my old vanilla 3DS. So much so that I'm not too distraught over not having one of the nicer looking limited editions. Besides, aren't those kinda sold out-ish by now?

is there any way to influence your trading options?
no narga stuff to trade for yet. do I just need certain parts for it to pop up? do I need to progress until a certain point in the game? something entirely different?

Ah somehow I knew this was going to happen. I had even read what you have to do but somehow it escaped me to add it to the post. I'll go back and edit it in for future reference.
Trading options are indeed increased by doing certain quests, I'll assume all that do increase are ones issued by the the old guy himself. I'll list the quests and their prerequisites starting with the one that gives the Narga Mail:

All normal village 5&#9733; quests:
&#22825;&#31354;&#23665;&#12398;&#25903;&#37197;&#32773;&#12383;&#12385; - Rathalos + Zinogre - get from talking to old guy
^
&#28961;&#21452;&#12398;&#29417;&#20154; - Zinogre - get from talking to Shinato Village elder
^
&#39640;&#38627;&#24230;&#65306;&#19981;&#31311;&#12398;&#24149;&#38283;&#12369; - Babakonga - get after arriving at Shinato Village for the first time and talking to village elder

Just cleared all 3* guild quests including that pesky powderstone delivery mission. I found it MUCH worse than the 6* village egg delivery quest. Ugh. Not looking forward to any more delivery quests in high rank... >.<

Make sure to eat healthy before doing such a thing! Fish&Milk give all the utility skills.&#12288;(first two are pretty much gathering buffs, fourth fishing) The third option has transporter (less stamina used, don't lose egg if attacked), running away from big monster and not using hands when jumping from high place.

Black MH4 Bundle and white bundle


This is the non-bundle white one

186+53+12=251 (round to 252)

Where as the bundle is 328+12=340ish.

MH4 as standalone cart

After going through this post..the best option is the white stand alone. Its not worth the premium for the bundles.

[...][even more stuff].

did the quests, traded in the mats... but there is something I can't trade.
doesn't sound like a narga part...
anyone ever seen one of these? -> &#30495;&#29664;&#33394;&#12398;&#26580;&#30382;
can't think of any grey soft monsters

what differentiates expeditions from normal quests besides having to run to end of map and not starting out with supplies?

You can mine random gear, you dont necessarily have to fight monsters, monsters might escape, new monsters can spawn, you can find poogie outfits, I think some monsters you can only find on expeditions (kut ku?).
That's all I got.

You can recruit felynes too!
Yep, as can you on some regular quests. =)
You playing online tonight by any chance?

Also, Ken, planning on getting online yet?

I will, but I'm only HR2 so I can't help you get higher HRs for the moment ^^;
If you want to boost me up however, feel free to do it =D

I planned on going further into solo before stepping into online for real, but I'm always up for some hunting action with people. Just don't expect me going into High Rank right now with my current armor set nor my once-upgraded Charge Axe.

edit : I'll be playing tonight from the moment I finish eating...so I guess from 8/8.30PM GMT+1
 
Are they also resting if they are not on page 1? Because you cant change their status there.

To be honest I don't really know, I moved them all into my regulars (I don't have many of them yet).
I'd guess they "freeze" when you let them there, and that only regulars can "change status"

I tested it a bit. It seems that they rest if not on page 1. I have nearly maxed out my slots.

Hey it's all good, more fun just hanging out and hunting with known people rather than trying to make progress with randoms. I also have a patchwork gunner set I wanna mess with, so HR2 stuff sounds fine.

The Azure Rathalos armor set is cruel. You need two Rath jewels. :(
Similar situation on the pink ian set. Thought I could craft it after running it for (roughly) a 100 billion times with randoms. Except I got zero gems / two necessary. ;(

Look what I picked up via StreetPass... a Shagal Magala Guild Quest. :O Whoever got this is a damn beast!

This should make farming the monster A LOT easier since you can actually capture it now (I hope)

Such a thing exists? How do you even get that :eek:
Doubt you can capture though.
The highest I have is something 3x, stopped going on expeditions a while ago. Might actually go now because the things I can do solo have narrowed down extremely.

I had
Shagaru
SO fucking close to finishing in that 3 monster quest but no...lame 2 shot death.

Damn I need to sort out my cats, would really have to use streetpass for this but alas. Need one more Heal and more Guard cats, but can't seem to get them.)

questions

how do i get to village 3*? I completed all the quests with (...) in the name as well as the expedition quest? Or, I think I competed the EQ (killed the blue raptor and made it to the end with the item dude and cart thing). Do I need to complete the final 2 (kill jaggia and collect bones) as well?

Is there any benefit to over charging the charge axe to the point where the game puts on the blinking CHARGE icon and your SnS bounces off of everything? I'd like to think it gives you some kind of buff when switching to axe mode but maybe I'm just being optimistic. :x

I'm now HR3, and I got to Goa Magara in solo as well but haven't tried the fight alone yet.

just bring those virus reduce berries and you'll be fine.
think around 100def is good enough. I did it with velociprey set. only upgraded them twice before I need to use orange upgrade armor balls
 
Is something similar to this possible in MH4?
