I use the switch axe and never ever mount. even when on higher ground because my weapon takes time sheathing and unsheathing. I prefer whacking more. I am done for today trying to kill him. Made me really sleepy. I might ask for some party members here since randoms just leave.

Look around the towns to unlock the 6*s.
It's a rare drop. Breaking its head is your best chance but it's still a low chance. If you're on low rank you might wanna try capturing it, on high rank you're better of killing it.

Reached HR7, one more to go!
Even if it's kinda sad that my Nerscylla armor is showing it's age, I love it so much.

OH MY GOD I GOT AN UMBRAGE ON MY 3RD STYGIAN. IZANAMI, HERE I FUCKING COME.
Edit: Make that 2 Umbrages. Got one in the reward.

oh man. I think I'm in love. I use to gun so much in Tri, I remember me and a friend could down Jho in <12 mins(I don't even think that's impressive, is it?) and I forgot all about it until I decided to try HBG. Shit is hella tight. I just wish my CPP would hurry up and come in the mail

Question. If you're fighting brachy and you haven't broken his arms but he's limping should you go for the cap to get them hammers? (Or pounders)
Believe me when I say I'm not a fan of mounting either. Even though I use the IG regularly I barely use it to mount unless I'm trying to get certain monsters out of their rage mode, I rather stay on the ground and whack them just like you. I'm just making an exception for Gravios (and basarios) to adapt that spammy playstyle just because they're so obviously weak to it and aren't fun to fight either way. I've tried a bunch of weapons on Gravios and the fight stays boring with all of them, so I'd just rather opt to kill him quickly so I can get to the fun monsters again than waste my time on him because I want to play in a particular way.
Don't mind me though, I just hate Gravios a lot.

Anyone up to do some HR1 quests? My first time playing online.
Just go into the hunt pretending that you don't need one and you will get it. Trust me on this
desire sensor be real.

You don't need his plate. That's what I say every rath fight and sometimes it works.
Turn off the game
Set the date about a week or so ahead
when you start the game, do not go look at any Zingore armors or weapons- in fact don't go to the armoury at all
Go online and join someone elses Zinogre party (so you don't have to post the quest)
hug poogie
slay zinogre
get plate
100% desire sensor free.
I don't ever spend hours fighting the same monster even if I need a certain plate/gem for something. I fight it a few times, fight something else that drops parts I want, then take a break. Right now I could use some Shagaru, Seltas, Tigrex, Rathian, Rathalos, E. Congalala, Garuga, Kecha, or Zamtrios parts to upgrade various weapons I have.
btw i have 3 zinogre plates in 3 kills and 1 cap :^)
I hunted my first HR Zinogre in the caravan right now. I get a Jasper on the first carve and I didn't even want it. Your method should work perfectly.
edit: and a plate in the quest rewards, god bless the desire sensor
This is how I have always felt like I should play MonHun, but never how it ends up working out for me in reality.

Darn I was really feeling this G G. Magala fight; didn't get hit once and then everyone else died.

Ah finally built my azure rathalos set.
I got 4 plates and 4 rubies before I saw the last tail, seriously weird stuff.
I love this set because it lets me play around with basically any weapon I feel like using. Gonna go try out the seltas dual blades for a bit, they look like such a good time.
Then later i'll probably try and gem in artillery with one of these talismans I have and try out a gun lance.
Then I'll finally use that switch axe I put together that's jut been collecting dust
So many possibilities!

Personally after the third time hunting the same monster in a row it just gets really really boring and the last thing I want to do is fight it again.

So i've always wondered, what are the books in the shop for? I know the Book of Combos increases your combination rate but what about the monster books like Bird Wyverns Vol 1. or Gore Magala book. Are they used for anything?
As far as I know, they fill up the monster info in your hunter's notes (menu)

So they're pretty much useless if you don't even look at that stuff huh
Some of it's worth looking at, unless you're using the wiki to learn about monsters or something. I didn't know Gypceros was immune to shock traps before, for instance

I'll start the real high rank quests later, just so preoccupied trying to get weapons because I realized that I don't have enough of them.
Sure, if you're still up for it. I could try out a new weapon. Maybe the HBG.

Aight. I'll make a room soon.
If you guys are still playing in say..50 mins let me know, I'm in a dota match but I'd love to party up since I've yet to do so.
edit: also i have no idea how to join a room or anything, so if someone would be nice enough to explain that would be awesome

Room Made. Passcode is 4371
Tap World Map, then hit Solo/Multiplayer, Online Multiplayer, Find a Gathering Hall, then enter the Gathering Hall ID. Or you can leave that blank to search random groups.If you guys are still playing in say..50 mins let me know, I'm in a dota match but I'd love to party up since I've yet to do so.

Seems legit.
I get heads pretty reg and I use a hammer on those coked out bird like monsters cause they're just asking for a head pounding.
Anyone ever break off all the rocks from the hr spider? I did the quest where you have to kill 2 of them and after a pounding it ran off. I followed it and ... WOOOHH! That damn thing was naked and looked like a reg spider!
Had to go ham and kill it asap cause that thing was creeping me OUT!
You can break that? It actually looks like Gypceros hide or something.
According to the lore stuff, that's what it does. Wears the skin of the things it eats.
different drops rates. Gypceros head has a 30% chance to drop if you break it's head.

And yeah, it's actually white underneath it all. Explains the colour of the armour and weapons.

If you have an evasion talisman or handicraft talisman, maybe that. I have a 3 socket stun+12, so I went with AuM (3x3soc Atk deco) and negate stun. When I use a weapon with a socket I'll gem out slow sharpener.
In the process of doing Seregios 4 times for everyone's urgent, I got 4 dissenters and 3 lenses so I figured I'd make the armor.
I like it. Not bouncing is awesome, I like the extended wyvern dodge, and it's just all around better than my old Velociprey X.

Awesome string hunts, Shengar, Scher, and Jockey.
We all have our Dalamadur urgents up now, but unfortunately, we had to quit for the moment.
However, I do have this sexy, sexy thing to show for all our work.
NO MORE "PERMANENCE". FUCKING FINALLY.

If it's like the previous games, then high rank armor, you only get set colors, but absolute endgame tier armor will have like a color slider like the game had when you were picking hair color, and you can basically do whatever color you want.
I see, thank you!

No prob, but keep in mind my answer is based on MHFU on psp, so I'm not sure if they kept this feature in (dunno why they'd take it out though).

Was the weapon that bad?
I have got one Earthgem to spend but can't decide what on :-(
Ok, reached HR7 solo! That S. Magala fight is crazy but good! Carting twice is not too bad:
When I got out of basecamp the second time it took one draw slash and a shield thrust! :/
So some mental notes:
- Really need to stop trading blows with (any) monster.
- Find a better spot to blow my CB load (that two-handed slam hurt!)
- Always remember to use Back+X (Super, Super, Super NEVER Ultra!)
Basically spend some time re-learning CB and actually use GP intentionally.

It wasn't bad at the time you could first make it. (EDIT: Let me rephrase this. It was actually fucking amazing if you made it as soon as it became available. It was my favorite weapon for a long time.) The problem is it fell WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY behind and couldn't be upgraded until HR7. The only other water charge blade at this point is Schildsect (Seltas Queen), which I upgraded into Schildsect+, but it pales in comparison to Izanami. It feels good to have an amazing water charge blade along with the awesome rare 6 Rathian one for fire.
Congrats! And yeah, GP is love, GP is life. So many free Supers because of it.
