Nerscylla and Gore IGs are pretty much the only ones worth using in all of LR and most of HR. Gore has some nasty material requirements at some point (plate, gem, two different mantles) but has dragon damage which comes very in handy as a lot of monsters in HR are weak to it. Nerscylla has the advantage of having fairly cheap materials and native purple sharpness at max rank. Unless you got really lucky with your Gore drops I'd say craft and upgrade the Nerscylla glaive.

Well I completed my extremely long and super safe preparations for Gore Magala and they worked. He still almost carted me in the beginning because I'm not used to great sword, but the guard really really helped me out, especially with the mega dash juice going. Also thanks to whoever suggested getting Defender Hi because that saved my ass several times as I fumbled with the huge sword and camera. My cats also held up hella long at the crucial start, no doubt with the help of the armor horn I used. I even got a magala plate at the end.
I hope the game doesn't have too many of these walls out of nowhere that require so much upgrading all of the sudden compared to what was before.

As long as you're keeping up red shield for the 20% damage buff in axe mode, then no, that's the fastest way.
LS draw attack and its downward slash is pretty good for cutting hyper-aggressive monster with high tail like Brachydios. Mounting and paralyzing is a good option, but unless there is skilled IG user in your team or two abnormal status attacked, those option wouldn't be reliable.

Question about Felyne Pyro: I know it improves Barrel Bomb L's, turning them into Barrel Bomb L+, but... does it affect Barrel Bomb L+'s? Or is it pointless to do L+'s if you are going to use Felyne Pyro?

Any screens of the game on the New 3DS yet? All I've seen so far is off-screen captures showing the upgraded graphics shot from a potato.
You'd think direct-feed screens would be all over the place.

I don't think N3DS capture cards exist just yet.
Bought full Diablos set but I'm really missing the extra weapon sharpness on my old set. Now I'm trying to gem in handicraft but I need 6 gems to do it, each gem requiring agnaktor carapace, which I need brute tigrex parts for... But I don't have brute tigrex unlocked yet. So frustrating.
Anyone mind helping me with some HR 2 quests? I'm getting tired of randoms who can't do simple things. Send me a PM or respond to this post if interested.
I know right? I'm sporting an afro which I dig when I can see it coming through my armor lol.

Go to Miiverse, those are all direct captures. Keep in mind a lot of them will be in 3D, and thus won't have AA when you view them on a web browser. Even on New3DS, there is no AA when in 3D. (I'm not sure if old 3DS ever has AA).
EDIT: Also I answered my own question, it looks like "Felyne Bombadier" is in fact non-applicable to any sort of actual bombs, it's only the Armor skill Bombadier that affects bombs, and Felyne Pyro only upgrades BBL to BBL+.
There's definitely some sort of AA going on with 3D off with my old 3DS.

Like I said, I didn't know.
I know the main advantages are better shadows, better textures, and better framerate. Also, 3D being useful and amazing and stuff.I was just clarifyingLike I said, I didn't know.
I've got to try that head-tracking 3D sometime, sounds cool.

Yeah. More like Kitty Tigrex.
Some are better than others but they can all get the job done in a timely manner.

Does anybody want to help me farm a couple low rank Gore feelers? It's a pain in the ass to break 'em with SnS, and I need 2 for an upgrade.
Well balanced enough that you can pick whatever you like best and not have to worry about screwing yourself with your choice. There's no tier list. I don't think there was even any agreement on whether most weapons were "good" or "bad" in 3U.
I didn't really find G. Magala a wall, in fact the thing I love about MonHun games is that there usually aren't many walls you come across that can't be climbed with simple preparation and learning the way the monster works. Didn't need to make any upgrades for G. Magala specifically at all, although that is in part because I fought him in the demo so many times I suppose.
There are definitely harder monsters to fight once you get to High Rank and G Rank, and Urgent quests will likely be a bit of a difficulty spike since they're monsters from the next rank up (Specifically those to get into High Rank and G Rank).
But that's all part of the fun! You'll go back to G. Magala later on and destroy him because you've gotten that much better.

Soloed Gore in LR with the bow first try, no carts Granted I had fought him plenty of times in the demo, but never with the bow, only with the CB. This victory felt so good. And yes I know I am very behind compared to everyone else, but it's midterm season /:

Both the CB and Bow for the Gore Magala look great and have good stats. Should I bother making them in LR, or do I have something better waiting for me in HR?
Make the CB, it's good for the point in LR and the upgrades are worth it later on.
Can't speak for the Bow.
Hunting Horn is definitely not a friendly weapon. I still have no idea what the hell I'm doing when I set out with one.

Thanks gonna work on it starting today! As for the bow, it is so far the only one that comes with Power Shot... That alone really makes me want to forge it too.

I want to get into this game so badly. So few people I know play it currently, and I'm awful at the combat system. I have been watching the Gaijin Hunter youtube channel in hopes of learning. Any tips for noobs?
are you joking?
do you not see the similarities between the three weapons I posted? cute

It's more important to not get hit, than it is to hit.
^This is the most important tip.
EDIT:
No actually I don't lol
Get it, you'll learn as you go and there's enough of a community here on GAF that not knowing people who play has never been an issue for me.
Watching the gaijinhunter and projared tutorial/introduction to MonHun videos will definitely help.

I've been sorting my equipment box since Freedom Unite, and it works for me. Never have trouble finding anything, and honestly, I don't care enough to spend time dicking around manually sorting everything.

I understand.
I think we're actually on the same page here regarding online performance.

There's a demo that let's you try all of the weapons so you can familiarize yourself with the game. As for the multiplayer, I personally am like Gaijin in a sense that I enjoy playing alone, compared to most people here I am behind in rank because of life lol. I can play at my own speed, and when I take a beast down alone it feels great. Don't think that you MUST play this game online, because you don't. The online experience is phenomenal, but all monsters are perfectly soloable.

As I said earlier, if he got a hit in, the next two would come quick and 3 hits was enough to KO. There was almost no observing of patterns because I was dying too quick. I needed upgrades. My sword was also bouncing off of him half the time, which really didn't help at all. He was easily 10x harder than anything prior. I would call that a steep enough jump from what was the natural development curve that it is a wall.
don't u dis the horn, bro i will fite u ლ(｀ー´ლ
It takes 3-4 seconds to move a newly forged weapon over a few pages so it looks nice and neat rather than a clusterfuck all smashed together. It adds a bit to the satisfaction of getting a new weapon IMO. ¯\_(ツ

So I'll take it since I have Leumundsgift, and the plate to go Leumundsbruch, I might as well stick with Gore. That's fine by me.

I got a relic bone staff IG that is 403dmg 120drag affinity 10% at level 1. Expeditions are pretty cool.
Gore could definitely one or two hit me when I fought him too (Especially when he was in his rage/frenzy mode), that's pretty normal. It is definitely something you can overcome - upgrading armour of course is the easiest solution, but there are other workarounds.
If you're bouncing you definitely need to upgrade your weapon though, yeah.
Dunno if I'd say Gore was 10x harder than anything prior.

Having just done Gore again with the CB, I really don't think he's that much harder than a Rathian, he is a lot more aggressive. Once you figure his pattern out though, it's not that tough of a fight.

Does anyone know how to unlock 3 star Caravan Quests? I did all the key quests but no urgent quest is unlocking. I really hate these single player quests but I need to do them anyways to unlock shit I guess? So frustrating I just want to fight the harder monsters in the Guild lol. I wish there was an option to unlock all this stuff immediately.
What does the Caravaneer say?
Do two expeditions.
Expedition time. So I guess I have to fight a Kut-Ku? Oh boy!!!
I'm Dumb everyone, ignore my ridiculousness.
