The proest!
I now have every Chargeblade fully upgraded as far as I currently can : Blackguard , Guardsqual+, Axelion Blade and I'm short one Gore Feeler for the Elendskraft.
So it's really "hard" to decide if I want to spend ressources on another one right now. But on the other had , why should I keep it?

It's definitely a good idea to make all available charge blades, but you may want to make the Dear Lutemis alongside that Axelion Blade. Here's why:

It's a good idea to read through the whole article.
Edit: And that's another reason Permanence is so good. Great sharpness for quests around its level, and it's element phial. (Schildsect is element also though).

Why no Ultra? Placed well it normally clinches a ko for me and it I stay aggressive charging the shield isn't a problem.
Anyone know where you can get this chill kitty outfit?

The damage potential of multiple supers with red shield's 20% damage boost is greater than an ultra, plus you get to keep the improved guard of red shield, and you stack more damage with each guard point with red shield. If you're using impact, nothing is more satisfying than KO'ing a monster midcharge because they crashed headfirst into a red shield guard point. I've KO'ed Shagaru out of the air when it did its aerial charge doing this.

So I finished all 4 * quests. Can't find any yellow quest bubbles. Was told to due expeditions. I did about 10 expeditions. A guild quest to kill kut ku. I can't figure out how to get the 5 * quests . Bunch of people said do expeditions and I spent the time playing yesterday doing a lot. I got nothing. Helpppppp
. Bunch of people said do expeditions and I spent the time playing yesterday doing a lot. I got nothing. HelppppppJust a preference. I could fire off more of it than spend it all in one shot. KO'ing the monster I could roughly do two(?) more bursts before it comes to.
Edit: @AmethystEnd explained it in better detail.
when's the exact moment to hold back+X, sometimes I seem to miss it and blow an ultra
Somebody keep me away from Gaijin Hunter's videos, every time I watch another tutorial of his out of curiosity I want to try a new weapon.
There are a million HBG shot types out there, how do I know which to use and when? Can anyone tell me some rules of thumb or know a good starting guide?

So you've checked every town you have access to for yellow quest bubbles?
It's not precise. I literally hold back on the control stick and spam X until the super goes off from the moment I trigger the ultra.
What might be happening to you is that the motion is relative to your camera position. So if you're facing the camera, instead of back and X, you'd need forward and X. Or facing diagonally forward to the right, you'd need diagonally back and to the left, etc.
Edit: Note that this camera relativity thing is secondhand information. I'm not sure about it. What I am sure about is that I never HOLD back and X. I hold back, and mash X.
that should not happen with orientation type 2, right?
anyone up for some G-rank 3?

Try visiting the Grand Guru in Cathar, he's in a cave which has an entrance near the melder guy.

That's not until the end of 6* offline. He's in 4* trying to unlock 5*.

From what I've tested, it's definitely relative to the direction the character is facing. I still accidentally use the ultra instead of the super sometimes, even though I'm pretty sure I'm moving the circle pad in the correct direction. Maybe I should start mashing X instead of holding it, as you said.
*edit* Ok, with orientation type 2 simply holding back and mashing X seems to work perfectly.

You can't? Does OG 3DS not have access to miiverse?
It has but you can't play the game and connect to Miiverse, like Smash Bros 3DS.
AmethystEnd
Member
Ah, I wouldn't know. This MH4U n3dsXL is the first time I've ever owned a DS, period.
MH4U and Smash take up the OS's reserved CPU power, so it can't access Miiverse or a few other functions while those games are active. The system even reboots when you exit the game to free the memory again.

Ah, interesting. Sorry I can't help with your HBG question. I haven't gunned since MHF1, and even then it was only during Fatalis farms with Chronos Grenade since it was easy mode.
Right, that it is.

Even regular Tigrex's roar deals damage if you're close enough and to the front/under it. Brute's just takes it one step further.
You better never try to taste Akantor's roar lol

I got killed by that after you left. I was at full health, but I was standing on lava whacking its tail, and I guess the lava got my health low enough that the roar finished me off all at once.
Was embarrassing.
Edit: Welp. Looks like all my classes are canceled due to a ridiculous amount of snow. Let's go for 24 straight hours of Monster Hunter.

You're missing the Nescylla one, which is pretty awesome and gives the most sharpness and some pretty handy poison. I find status attacks with the CB really helpful, since you will charge up your phials with fast sword attacks early on and by the time you switch to axe mode you'll likely have inflicted the ailment already.
I think I have around 10 different CBs in my inventory at the moment and I'm not even at G-Rank yet.
On the other hand the game seems to want me to play GS, since I got several Vulcanes, time-worn and rusted Ones sitting in my armoury from mining.

I visited every city. Even the cat one. I see no yellow bubbles and I've done s ton of expeditions. I didn't complete all quests in 1-2-3 * but I did finish every single 4*

I'm looking into this further, but for now, tell us what the Caravaneer says when you talk to him.

I'm here. I'll hunt whatever for however long, since all classes are canceled today. I've got the Dalamadur urgent up, but I'm down for anything.
Edit: I need about 10 minutes though. I'm unpacking (I moved into this apartment 2 months ago and I'm just now finishing unpacking).
I was like "wtf just happened" when I saw the damage. Always raise my shield whenever Akantor stand up lol
Let's find more people and whack Dalamadur's head together then.

I'm not really sure about this, but have you checked villager request on Wycoon's menu? What I remember is that the urgent 4 Star to 5 Star Caravan quest is defeating Gore Magala. This quest began with a special mission where you have to rescue Ace Cadet and Ace Lancer from the disastrous mission on hunting the Gore Magala.
Haha no worries, I know that feeling. I'm still partly living out of a suitcase here and I'll soon be packing it all up to head back home anyway haha.
Let me know when you're good to go, anyone else keen?

Oof, just spent some odd hours farming a G rank Gore Magala for a mantle; never got it, but at least I got the quest myself now.
Full already? D:
Guess that's mean I have more time to decide which LS I should made lol
Does G rank Gore have new trick?

You never took my hot pots, Karn.
Physical shots break down into normal shots, pellet shots and pierce shots.
Normal shots are a standard shot that hits the target and does damage to that hitzone. You can carry an infinite number of normal lv. 1 but they're only half-strength, so they're pretty much worthless outside of small monster hunting. Normal lv. 2 is your standard full-strength shot. Normal lv. 3 hits the target and fragments, possibly ricocheting along the monster for more damage. It out-damages normal lv. 2 if even one ricochet hits, but using normal lv. 3 well requires looking for good ricochet zones (like under Rathian's wings). All the normal shots are recoil-less and should be fired from as close as you can get.
Pellet shots fire out like a shotgun blast with pellet lv. 2 and 3 achieving more hits. They're especially good for small bouncy targets like Great Jaggi, or for targets with "pellet magnet" hitzones like Zinogre's horn. Higher levels of pellet pack more recoil and should be fired from slightly farther back to ensure you get a lot of pellet hits. Pellet is also liable to flinch any blademaster folks in its cone of damage, so use with caution in multiplayer.
Pierce shots fire straight through the target and out the other side. Pierce lv. 2 and 3 damage more hitzones as they pass through but do less damage per hitzone, so they're best suited to progressively larger (or longer) targets. Pierce shots pack a lot of recoil and should be fired from 2-3 rolls back to be in optimal range.
Element shots do elemental damage to a single hitzone. They're recoil-less and as long as you hit the target at all, they'll do full damage no matter the range. Dragon shot is a bit of a special case, though. That works like a pierce shot and packs a big recoil.
Crag shots hit the target, stick to it, and then explode a moment later like a barrel bomb. Enough crag shots can KO the monster, but LBGers are a bit better at that. Damage is independent of your weapon's attack power, is range-independent and packs a big recoil.
Clust shots hit the target, rain down several little bomblets, and then all those bomblets explode like little barrel bombs. Damage is also independent of your weapon's attack power. These are also liable to blast any of your blademaster pals all around the map if they're anywhere near the target.
The various status shots inflict status on the monster, with status 2 shots packing more status (and also more recoil) than status 1. Best suited to LBGers who can rapid-fire them at an incredible rate.
Paint shots and tranq shots work like paintballs and tranq bombs, but have an enormous effective range.
Anyway, hopefully that's a decent-enough overview. It's early and I'm just going by memory, but I think that just about covers it.
