I complained about farming Rathalos for 2 or 3 hours the other day then earlier I looked for a Rathalos room on a whim. First hunt I got 2 plates then I got rubies back to back
What the hell lol. You must be the luckiest hunter in the world

Gyp has stronger poison, I know that, but what's the difference between the other two? I can't tell any at all other than a general increase in toughness.
Nothing as far as I can tell. They're just relics from the past when subspecies were just recolors with higher attack, speed, and a more potent status ailment.

I got 3 Shagura Magala Phosgems in one run yet no regular horn. I just 2 more, damn.

Also, wait. Where can you fight Basarios? Kiranico has nothing.
Expeditions and guild quests.
Once you finish the optional 3* urgent to fight it you have to hope it shows up on expeditions or you get a guild quest for it.

That's it?! Seriously?!
EDIT: Doesn't that mean that you can get a basarios guild quest and you need high rank, you can level out of it and gotta go get a new one?
A system transfer will bring your old 3ds' friendlist over.
Not sure what you mean, but guild quest level up each time you do them. Low rank guild quests turn high rank at lv31 and those turn G-rank at lv76. So for example, if you're low rank and you level the quest over lv31, you can't do it anymore until you turn high rank yourself or find a lower level quest. Did that answer your question?
RNG sucks when it doesn't favour you :/
Hard to choose.
- Khezu is some sort of fat featherless chicken-looking garbage, not nearly as cool as Gigginox, much more slow and boring, yet equally annoying. Extremely easy and yet easy to die to because of its propensity for paralysis comboing you, making it extra frustrating.
- Cephadrome is completely worthless. Exactly the same as the small monster Cephalos. Also possibly the most aggravating monster to fight besides Plesioth.
- Velocidrome/Iodrome/Gendrome basically have two attacks: hop on you and scratch you. At least the Great Jaggi family has tail spins and hip checks that are somewhat different, yet they brought back the dromes for some reason.
- Gravios is a slow, boring punching bag with nothing unique about it. It's as generic a rock type monster as you could make in this series.
- Gypceros tends to do nothing but charge back and forth especially in rage mode, and flash you once in a while. It also animates terribly, going straight from idle to charge animations and charge to tail swing animations with no animation connecting them. This is kind of shared with a lot of old monsters I think though.
- Yian Kut-Ku is a worse Qurupeco, although it is kind of cute I guess.

We did the Pink Rathian like three times last night and I got rubies from two of the hunts
Feels good to be blessed
Got 2 Rathian Rubys in ONE quest last night, friend had to farm for 3h lol
Zinogre, Brachy, and Queen Seltas are really fun. The music in the first two is fantastic as well. I really never get tired of fighting Brachy.
Yep, easily one of the best designs and fights out there.
Shagaru Magala
Seltas Queen
Brachydios
Zamtrios
Kirin
Zinogre
Yian Garuga
I'm also guessing I'll love the subspecies of the monsters on that list, Akantor, Ukanlos, and Seregios.

Zamtrios and Zinogre.
Zamtrios has a cool design and the twist is absolutely hilarious.
Zinogre is another great design and just a really fun fight. I farmed it the most in 3U and I still don't get tired of it. I love how aggressive it is.
?!
Yeah, we were farming Rathian for armor in HR5 since we badly lost against HR5 Gore Magala and then first quest - BAM
Dat 3%*3% chance
Edit: fave monster is Rathian&Rathalos. Know their moveset by heart, love it
I haven't gone too far in Multiplayer, but can you fight the Shagaru Magala in another stage? I feel like I'd like the fight a lot more if the map was a bit different.
Yeah. You can get a guild quest for it that doesn't take place in the sanctuary.

Ah plates and rubies, so much fun to farm when you don't need em. But once you do... LOL! Oh and forget mantles >_>;;
So far it's the Najarala. It's a really fun fight as a bow user.

Hey everyone.
I've been playing since Monday and I am loving MH4U. My first game was MH3U, so I've made better decisions here than in that game (but I'm still not pro). So far, I have killed Basarios in an Urgent Caravan Quest (took place in the Expedition area though) and I am loving the Charge Blade. That weapon is my main alongside the Hammer, and I'm going to try the Insect Glaive soon and maybe the Light Bow.
I have never done online in MH3U and doing it now with my friends in MH4U resulted in me being tossed around by the Seltas Queen since I'm way behind in progress compared to my friends (one of them is already at HR4). Right now I'm just doing Caravan Quests until I feel that I'm ready to do more hunting online.
Any tips before I get into online hunting?

I was thinking the same thing. The dromes are so primitive that I have no idea why they didn't just bring back the whole Jaggi-class family which had a lot more personality.
The Rathians are always fun, but perhaps a little too easy. The Rathaloses are a little better for keeping me on my toes - and shooting them out of the sky never gets old.

Keep hunting till your luck runs dry lol
Don't attack a monster when someone is mounting it.
Don't attack your teammates unless they are running straight for a part of the monster you've been attacking.
When you join a room don't rush and post a quest. Let the person that created the room, or the people that have been there a while post a couple quests first.
It actually had dried out before, when I needed 2 Rath.-Marrow to upgrade my weapon I was the one who had to farm for hours. Despite ~15% drop chance lol
I've been insanely lucky with drops. So much so I first though drop rates had been increased.
Low rank Gore, 3 plates. 1 from tail, 1 from shiny. 1 from rewards.
High rank Rathalos, 2 rubies. 1 from tail, 1 from carving.
High rank Deviljho, 2 gems. Both from rewards.
G rank Rathalos, 2 mantles. Both from rewards.
G rank Shagaru, Ukanlos, Akantor, Rathian. Only fought them once and got gem/mantle from them right away.
Chameleos, quit the fight via subquest and got large elder dragon gem as a reward (2%, lol).
The list goes on and on. The only thing I've farmed so far is the Gore mantle, and that only took about 4 kills. The only monster I don't have rare stuff from is Brachy. All my MonHun friends hate me. This makes up for 3U though, where I was always very unlucky.

It's the high rank Stygian Zinogre rare drop. No clue about the other questions.
I was thinking about buying this but kept talking myself out of it, but found myself at a Target that actually had a copy left in stock so I figured what the heck and bought it. I played the Wii release of MH3 and enjoyed it but never really got too deep in.
So far I've cleared the first encounter with the Gore Magala and I'm using full Tetsucabra armor and a Lupine Katana long sword. Haven't had much trouble so far defeating monsters, but I do seem to have trouble breaking parts for the sub-objectives. I mount a few times and try my best to hit the part, but can never seem to break it before the monster is killed.
Also, I've been mostly playing the offline story quests, only jumping online to farm the last few monster parts to make armor/weapons. I'm not really sure when I should start working on guild quests to increase my rank.

I see. I saw him limping so I thought I would be able to capture it. At least I cut its tail.
