Again, thanks for the tips. I just did a Tigrex, Gravios, and then Rathian + Rathalos mission as practice. Shot Rathalos out of the sky twice as he tried to limp away, and one of the shinies he dropped was a Plate.Too bad I missed the last shot as he finally flew away, since the first shot at the next area killed him. Would have been a great finish. I think I'm getting the hang of it. Hanging around a Tigrex with a gun, no mobility, and no block is a little hair-raising. lol
I'm pretty sure my favorite (reasonable) way to finish off a flying enemy is by shooting them out of the sky. It's such a good feeling! Particularly a Rathalos that won't freaking land.
Unless you're Kensei, in which you can finish off someone by Kicking them. Seriously, how the heck did you do that Kensei?
I never find good charms. I just run under the assumption that I'll never get one.
On that subject I just got the ability to meld timeworn and 'unknown' charms. Can the latter give me G rank charms? Should I save my vile frenzy crystals or is there a higher version later?
I know this game doesn't have locked charm tables, but I actually hardly ever turn my game completely off. So I'd be interested if someone has found a charm table manipulation guide.
I know you can cheese the melding to lock in one of the skills on the charm.

I just used all my frenzy stones to multiply spider webs ._.
I think poison do the trick
Yeah me too. I rarely turned off my 3DS so MH4U have ridiculous average playtime on the 3DS playlog lol (21:04 at the moment).
I just wait until they are up at the Wymporioum and buy them with points.

Where do you get charms???
Mining, At gathering points at the start of hidden areas, and you can meld 3 talismans for a different one at Cathar.
I use both lance and HH. I use the lance more in single player as it seems just insanely good with Guard or Evasion skills. You can laugh at people running for dear life or getting blown to bits by a huge AOE attack while you just press R+A or B and keep poking the monster to death. It's so safe it lets you stay on the monster constantly and not give a shit about what it's doing. You almost say goodbye to "circle and look for an opening" lol. The downside is it's prone to getting tripped up by small monsters or other hunters' attacks.
The horn is absurdly useful in multiplayer, Attack Up Large alone gives the whole party a ridiculous 20% attack boost. There's also infinite stamina, wind immunity, HG earplugs, and a few other useful songs. It's also actually an very mobile weapon (fastest drawn weapon run speed and moderate attack speed) that never bounces thanks to the two tier Self-Improvement song on every horn. Its range is pretty good as well, the wide swings letting you snipe the head when it would be out of the reach of hammers. It doesn't have through-the-roof damage and KO potential of the hammer though and learning when and how to play recitals and encores is tough especially since monsters will immediately target you next when you start playing. A tricky weapon but very satisfying and your team will love you for using it well:
from where is this graph? I love it, found some very interesting info there
never knew people liked others with HBG

Any advice on which lances to pursue as I rank up through Low rank into HR and eventually G?
Mining or from quest rewards
Most useful charm mined from Volcanic Hollow secret area, where you can only reach in high rank and above with Felyne Explorer skill (or being lucky).
Definitely one of the best designed monster from many aspect. The fight is difficult for the right reason.
I farmed 15 Lucents for Cloudy Moonshard, but ain't bored from those hunts at all.
random, you get them from the end of the quests or mining, however you can trade useless charms for another chance at random ones in Cathar melding
Sick of getting caught in a Wyvern Fire lol
Getting caught in full burst is probably worst, at least wyvern fire does a lot of damage so unless you are knocking out of their charged attack or healing it shouldn't be so bad.

What would you guys say is the most versatile element?
I am thinking either thunder or water. Lots of things weak to water surprisingly.

What time do you plan on hunting tonight? I'm pretty early into HR4 right now and wouldn't mind going through a bunch of quests. I should be home from work around 7pm central and as of right now I don't have any other plans so I should be able to hunt all night.
for me it was fire... lots things are weak to it... but that's very arbitrary to say, I don't know the exact number of elemental weakness from every monster
it's weird that HBG is above LBG, maybe just because everyone knows it does good damage. Status LBG is just so ridiculous with a good group though.
But look at the chart from the perspective of 'what weapon will interfere with my playstyle the least/most'. Ranged weapons generally don't get in anyone's way leaving more room around the monster. Lance might not be infamous for tripping, but other blademasters need to be especially conscious of them since they are easy to interrupt.
Personally I rate SA high on my list because it's the master of tail cutting, typically not something I can do myself as I often use hammer/HH/HBG.

I didn't think I cared much about them until someone was using one the other day and they were amazing with it. I also LOVE seeing a hunting horn.

In rate IG and ranged weapon user up high since they can bring any aerial mofos that just refused to touch the ground to kiss the earth below.
Sounds like a good time to get started. And yeah, I've been raiding in WoW all week so I just want to sit down and pound out some MH all night. I'm in no rush and my current weapons can handle anything in high rank so I'll kill/farm whatever. I actually want to do that in order to start gathering materials for the low/high bowguns I'll need to upgrade later on.
My friend code is in my profile, obviously I'm at work atm though.
My specialty is making Rathalos plummet 100 feet back to the cold hard ground as he tries to flee the area. I have a pretty good sense for when he'll stagger and normal 3 works great.
You can do high rank Tetsucabra first and then use it to farm the others. There are a lot of Tetsucabra quests.

I just went through the list of every boss monster and subspecies and gave each element a tally mark for each monster that is severely weak to that element. If a monster was about equally weak to multiple elements, then those elements got tallies. Here are the results:
Thunder
11111111111111111111111111
Dragon
11111111111111
Fire
111111111111111111111111
Water
11111111111111111111111
Ice
1111111111111111111111111111
As you can see, the spread is pretty equal as far as versatility.
The seed would be a random string of characters that are used to decide the stats of the talisman. Eg: aah2h4bvd828
If you take the talismans BEFORE you order some new ones, the game will generate a different string instead.
If you take the talismans AFTER you order some new talismans, the new talismans will be made with similar stat sets as the string will stay as 'aah2h4bvd828' instead of generating a new one.
I haven't tried it in this game, but hopefully that gives you a general idea of how 'seeds' work.

Is there a good armor that I can make if I'm HR7 for GS/CB? Not sure if I should take my time doing one or just wait till I get to G rank.

Oh wow that's really cool to know.
Also it's interesting because that means statistically you could probably get away with just building and maintaining 2 elemental weapons and you should have all your bases covered for most fights.
Much better explanation, Thanks!
Man, how the hell do you guys get all this good stuff? I haven't gotten anything anywhere near as good.Best charm I've found so far. If only it had evasion.

Got this one from the secret area in Dunes (Day) in G1 rank. We failed the quest, but I wasn't disappointed after appraising that charm.

Sounds good. I'm up for whatever as well. Got a Velociprey S set made the other day so I should be ok on armor for a little bit. Have a hammer for each element started so maybe I'll try to go for some hunts to get some of those upgraded.
My friend code is in my profile as well. I'll add you when I get home from work.

THE ANTI-CHARM. Well, almost. Should've been -5, -9 ;P.

Getting charms in 4U is horribly frustrating.
I haven't gotten any charms I'd say are anywhere near awesome, my best charm is a +5 expert with 2 slots and +3 stam rec.
In fact most of my good charms are just the +10 gathering, +10 psychic, +10 speed setup ones I've found along the way. The one I mainly end up using is this +2 sharpener + 2 hunger with 3 slots.
Because 3 slots is really good.

+10 psychic is insanely convenient. It may not help in any fighting, but man, it's nice to not have to search forever.
It's from a survey from the Monster Hunter reddit board. There are some other interesting responses on there, like apparently only 2% of respondents considered the HBG their #1 main, and same for LBG. That seems very low even for a game with 14 weapons.
http://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/2wkjo2/results_from_the_weapons_survey/
I'm only in early HR myself but Red Tail and Usurper's Coming were very easy to make and had good raw, sharpness and element for the end of low rank to the beginning of high rank. Out of my 9 or so lances I used one of those two 80% of the time.
at the beginning is good, but later on I memorize where the monsters usually are and where they will never go, and then search those specific areas.
for example I know that tetucabra is always in area 8 or 9, it rarely goes to area 2 or 3, so I'll always go to 8 and almost always see it's there...
I thought you were already in g-rank? Unless I played with a different Beats yesterday!
