Ah, didn't know that. Only the village ones? Already did all of those but don't feel like doing the online ones.
Yeah, just the village ones.

Also, is there a village or gathering hall HR Yian Garuga? I want to make his HR armor but haven't found any quest yet. I got the low rank urgent and he can turn up in expedition, but that's it.

LS is for slicing off tails, you won't be breaking too much with it.
Expedition is the only way. It's a pain in the ass, I gave up on it after he finally turned up and then ran away right before I could kill him. Ain't no HR armor worth that trouble.
Expedition and guild quest only.

Guess I'll try to get a guild quest to pop up. That's so random though... Anyone got a Yian Garuga guild quest they can share?
You also need to complete part of the quest line to unlock a dairy canteen upgrade (the quest itself is one of the six-star quests).

Jeez, how many monsters are expedition and guild quest only? That's horrible. It'd be okay if Guild Quests didn't level but still =\.
Actually, there's a high rank village quest called "Hunting Vicariously" to hunt a high rank Yian Garuga. To unlock it, you need to progress to the story in the Dundoroma (might not be correct spelling) city and when you've progressed enough you need to talk to the lance user who prevents you from going up the stairs because you're not of sufficient skill.
That"s good then, looking forward to that.
For now it's Basarios, Ruby Basarios, Yian Kut-Ku, Kirin, Oroshi Kirin, and Yian Garuga. Some of them will be made available in DLC quests though.
That's awesome.

How do you unlock the six star Rajang quest? Need its parts for one of my charge blades.

Friendly tip for all hunters that want to hunt like a pro: farming stuff at wycoon will make things easier for the whole team. I'm not talking about Mega Potions.
Pitfall traps. Buy hundreds of spider webs from the Wycoon store (his inventory changes after every quest). Replicate Ivy to combine with the spider web for hundreds of nets. Boom, infinite pitfall traps.
Why pitfall traps are amazing:
Everyone uses shock traps to capture monsters, which is fine because they are easy to make, but you should use pitfall traps because of their damage potential. With the right tools you can stunlock monsters while they are half buried! I put one down on a Diablos. Then we quickly stunned him while he was trapped (which makes him stop struggling). Then our gunner KO'd him with craig shots. In the meantime we got enough hits in to get a second paralysis. After that he finally got out of the trap, only to get mounted right away. By the time it was over he was limping away. Use them right at the start of the quest, before the monster is enraged.
Lifepowders.
No one online uses lifepowders and it's terrible. Especially because they are so easy to make. Just use the farm to replicate hundreds of Godbugs. That's it. You should have plenty of wyvern fangs and claws.
Why lifepoweders are amazing:
Ever hear someone complain how they couldn't avoid getting killed after getting stunned and them stomped? It's true he couldn't have done anything, but you and your teammates could have. Lifepowders will save lives over and over. They're essential. Carting is terrible not only because you lose a faint, but also because the guy that fainted now has low health/stamina/defense, making a second faint that much more likely.
Extra pro tip: You can also buy stones from the Wycoon. Then replicate sap plants to make infinite tranquilizers.

And there's no way to keep your guildquests from leveling up, right? Like, if I want to farm Basarios in high rank, if I fuck him up enough eventually he'll turn into G-rank and I gotta get a new Basarios quest?
Crimson Fatalis actually! Regular Fatalis is online only and you unlock him when you make it to HR60 or 70 (can't remember).

One thing I like about the way MH is doing this stuff, is that while I get all obsessive and particular about what kind of gear I want and what kind of things I want to harvest to make, what kind of distraction I may want from the game in the moment, and however many sidequests I want to complete, as that takes fucktons of gameplay hours and monster runs, I'm not uncontrollably leveling up to become a god that could sneeze anything to death. In this way, the meaning of the things I enjoy doing is given all value instead of being completely devalued aside from pure vanity of preference. It remains a pure experience of gameplay.

Online is not as infested with hackers as you seem to think. You can also just not play with randoms and stick to playing with friends or GAFers.
I am guessing you can only have 2 Palico out at a time? I have 3 now in my house and it really is nice to have a Healer one out in the field.
Also, where do I get Humble Scraps from? Is that the fishing net thing?
Later on you can send your Palico's out on hunts. The more monsters they successfully hunt the more scraps they come back with.
G rank is kinda infested though. I kicked someone today with a White Fatalis set. Yesterday someone was wearing a talisman with +10 Edgemaster and +10 Ferocity. Hopefully they'll be more uncommon once more people get into G rank.
Hah! That's really cool. I am guessing their equip list fills out a bit as well right?

Any bow users? I want to try it out but there is a serious lack of good armor for it so far. What are you guys using?
I have been using velociprey until I could get to the gore set.

Not true there is a village quest for him in 9 star and 5 star.
You are sick
Any quests that is high rank and you find Kelbi' in. They live in many places that aren't too hot or cold.

I think I can get the Gore set now but the stats are whatever for a bow user, I think. Might just make that though.

I've seen Khelbi in the dunes.
The 5 star quest disappears when you beat it and never returns. I don't think that really counts.

I did the 9 star quest about 5 times to get the stuff I needed from HR Garuga
At low end it seems to be more about the weapon than the gear. Until I can kill something well and evade and recover in crappy gear, I don't deserve the good stuff.
Hardest part of the bow is making sure you can damage your enemy frequently, as fights can drag out for ages since bows generally have lower damage.
Attack up, status up etc is great for gear. Elemental attacks that match your weapon are also great if you plan on hunting monsters weak to your bow element. This means collecting plenty of bows.
Yeah. I didn't know about that one because it's a new addition to 4G and I haven;t reached the 9* quests yet. Someone already corrected me earlier.

YOU CAN GO UP TO HR 60?!
Rapid fire guns that match what shot you plan to use is the way to cut down on ammo usage. Also light bowgun for inflicting status effects. Sleep bombing is a great way to speed up your kills.
Yeah. HR works like MH3U.
