That's kinda where I was leaning. Thanks.
Good thing in this game is that you can't really screw up. You just craft and re craft until you have anything and everything you want
I'd say grab Tetsu S or Velociprey S as an early HR armor set. Velociprey is less defensive, but has Attack Up M which is easily upgraded further, and 8 points in Psychic which you could upgrade to get Autotracker. Tetsu is Tetsu.

You can defintely solo with guns. I've used heavy bowguns almost exclusively in both single and multiplayer, into high rank in 4U, and through G rank in 3U. I tend to use light bowguns as an infrequent change of pace, usually only online as a support gunner. Bows never clicked with me, so I have little experience with them.
At least between the guns, you can sort of think of them like the difference between sword and shield and great swords. Light bowguns rely a lot on exploiting elemental weaknesses and statuses, and allow for easy movement, while heavy bowguns rely on raw damage and are extremely powerful, but are slow and clunky, requiring careful positioning and proper timing to know when to shoot, and when to start packing up.
I just received from this morning Expedition. You wanted it? Just popped into this room 42-0392-1057-0664
Would be great. What's the password on it?
Just changed it to 1234
The Powderstone one is amazing. Got most of my money from that quest.

You must have Loc Lac armor, or Dash Juice. They are very easy with those.
It'll certainly make life easier in high rank. I kept my sets upgraded as I went. Helps a lot, so your not constantly chugging pots the whole time and can focus on hunting.

I know this is minor as all hell, but I really wish the Ace palico wasn't assumed to be male. I named mine after my female cat, and it grates me every time my Ace refers to itself in the masculine.
On the bright side, the game seems to be doing well beyond expectations in Australia. Some stores in Sydney were sold out in a couple days of release, got new stock and was promptly sold out again.

What's wrong with Blackguard? I'm using it currently.

Wow this game just keeps getting better and better. This is my first Monster Hunter, I just killed Gravios on my first try. This time I did my research and made a pair of water element dual blades, my main, and he went down easier than I thought he would. Easier than Gore Magala. I thought it would just get harder after Gore but the knowledge of elements and weaknesses and all that really pays off.
I tried all the weapons in the tutorial missions and honestly I don't know how you guys use anything other than dual blades. They just seem much easier and more intuitive to use than any other weapon. The dodging is just so much better than any other weapon, as far as I could tell. Makes a lack of shield moot imo.

No, didn't have those, although dash juice sounds awesome for these types of quests! Thanks for the tip.
Ha! Lost track of that red light I guess. Gonna be back on? I'd join again.
It's got decent raw but that's about it. It's a good weapon, but pales in comparison to other CB's of the same level.
SnS barely uses its shield, instead making use of its ability to dodge out of pretty much any attack. It's mobile and aggressive, being able to dodge at any point in your combo means you can stick to the target like glue. It can also do jump attacks up ledges letting it mount from more positions.
Evade Lancing is also a thing, where you actually utilize the lance's triple backhop to close distance, and rather than guard, evade through pretty much any attack through the use of Evade+ and Evade Distance. Also lets you stick to the monster and harass them =p
I like DS, but I don't like how rooted they make me feel in comparison to say SnS.
I figured high raw would be the way to go with the Charge Blade. I'll look into the others you mentioned then.
Cool, I'll keep an eye out. That was fun.
Probably not today but definitely will be on again in the near future.

Yeah they vastly improve the experience with those, but really I don't mind them until they start getting crazy. Don't ask about the Heaven's Mount quest. Ugh.
Anyway, I want to hunt a a Brachydios or two, and then move on to High Rank Guild! Anyone want to help me do that?

Take a break and try other monster before you do Shagaru again. That'll keep the frustation out, at least a bit.
But that Charge Blade is so beautiful
The 3 egg one? I just ate for the egg buffs and wore a +10 transportr charm since I have it, though loc lac would've worked fine. Didn't touch the monsters, just ran for the nest, grabbed the egg, waited for them to come then jumped down and had a pretty easy, if lengthy for the last route, run.

Mount and a couple of level 3 charges to the tail, plus another 2 during a shock trap should do it. GS has always been my weapon of choice for tail cutting.
Might as well put this here for future reference if anyone is interested: Teostra has a <30% health threshold before you can cut the tail and break its horns. Not sure if there are any other monsters like that in this game with a threshold before breaking parts.
Made a new set with G rank Rajang and Rusted Kushala parts. Grinding Rajang was a painful experience. That guy is most definitely the toughest monster. Getting two 'Rajang Hearts' almost made me cry, haha. This set has cool skills:
Honed Blade
Razor Sharp
HG Earplugs
Latent Power +1
Purple sharpness now stays with me for quite a long time. I love it. I just wish I could get latent power to +2 or replace it with challenger +2.

That's an awesome set.
Can't wait to hit G Rank and farm for my GS set:
Critical Draw
Fast Charge
Honed Blade
High Grade Earplugs
Gonna be head flinching monsters almost all the time with one level 3 charge using the highest raw powered GS the game has to offer >=D

What's Dual Blades' most-damaging attack? Is it Devil's Dance or is there something more efficient?

That will most definitely need an excavated GS with EdgeMaster +5 and a charm with Earplugs +7 or something like that. Better get on those Lv135+ Guildquests.
too late heh. made the full set like an hour ago. I need one more tail for my fire lance but I'm just gonna suicide run for it on a village quest
Sorry Beats, got disconnected
Yeah, the blade is indeed beautiful
Magala lance on the other hand.....lol
