Loooool, an Apex Rajang just showed up on a Desert Seltas G1 hunt.
...I'm still in Tetsucabra S.

It's less good once you've done hunts enough that you know exactly where monsters are going to spawn and what zones they move between.
What it's really nice for is for spotting intruder monsters before they barge in on your fight.

The best one I've found so far is a Handicraft + 4 w/ 2 slots. I haven't actively searched/farmed for any yet. Still hoping to get a decent Evade Dist or Wide-Range talisman.
Nah, I was still in High Rank lol. There's one urgent that unlocks your HR cap then another that lets you get into G-Rank I think.
Ah, I see. I would help but I'm stuck at work for another 7 hours.
Anyone want a Yian Garuga guild quest?
If a monster has less than 100 HP left when you mount it, you'll drop them down to 1HP instead of killing them. I knew she was almost dead when I mounted her so I took the chance and kicked her after the mount.

That's true for Tetsucabra. But I've seen Rathians fly off to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in Ancestral Steppe.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...
Speaking of which, is there any logic to which area they label which number? It seems close to random.
It wrecked me though. First time fighting it

I wouldn't focus on reload and recoil primarily, as you can reduce recoil through silencers, and reload on lbg isn't that bad. Evasion and evade distance are incredibly useful. Rapid fire and status increases are also really good to make the most out of your status shots (poison, para, etc) if you decide to go the route of more support gunning.
But I tend to prioritize status shots myself when using the lbg, since I usually only use it when grouping. If I'm solo or want to do mostly damage, I tend towards the heavy bowgun.
Edit: If you are going the damage route, also consider the appropriate elemental up and shot up skills for whatever gun you are using.
I want the guild quest. What level?
Ah I wanted a high rank one.

Rathian and Rathalos go all over the place in Ancestral Steppe, I made the mistake of thinking I need not paintball either in a quest there with both and somehow I managed to completely lose track of them both for well over five minutes when they both ditched area 8.I swear this happens to me infinitely more in this entry like the monsters can't sit still for more than 30 seconds in an area unless you're in there with them.
Still those odds of not running into either in that timespan, it was driving me slowly insane!

Check all three of these links:

Edit: My bad, I should've specified. Those links are to show you long term skills to aim for.
For short term long swords, I'm just gonna say try to make one of every element. Element is important for most weapons (hammer and greatsword, not so much) so there isn't really one single weapon that you'd want to stick with at low ranks.

Every time I have to fight a Gypceros I die a little on the inside. Fuck that monster. The one I just fought stole around ~10 items (including my fucking map) in one go. FUCK. THAT.

Hahaha I hate him so much. I want his head but he refuses to allow me to carve it off.

Eventually I'll hit G Rank, and actually start having the funds to power my Bomberman gameplay style...
Sucks being poor as shit. And constantly needing more Caravan Points.

Most efficient way to craft bombs? I can't seem to get many scatterfish with the felyne fishing and it's frustrating...
Yeah I'm too lazy to get caravan points. Same with village requests in MH3, always put them off, sometimes indefinitely

The strangest thing for me is that I don't remember finding Gypceros that irritating at all back on the PSP, yet here I am now having had to recently tackle the high rank varieties for their goods and am strongly considering one of my most hated foes to fight in the entire series, dude has now mastered erratic annoyance to a fine trolling art whilst also boring with its limited move selection.
And yet I still need more Toxin sacs, euuurgh.

Maybe not the answer you were looking for but...use wycoon to make godbugs, sell godbugs for gobs of cash, buy barrel bombs when they are half price at the vendor.
Save the scatterfish for upgrading the store bought bombs to L+ when you really want that extra damage.

I've been playing for the past 18 hours, but if I'm still awake and not with another group when you're ready, then yeah, I'm down.

That is, indeed, a good choice.

Depends very heavily on your weapon. You don't want Guard if you're not using Lance, no point in Combo Rate on battle armor, etc. That said, Tetsucabra is good all-around armor. Kut-Ku is also a solid choice.
E: Also, the very easy to craft mixed set:
Kut-Ku Gunner Head
Kut-Ku Chest
Velociprey Arms
Velociprey Waist
Kut-Ku Legs

Until i memorize the maps better paintballs are my friend.
I don't think B.Gravios is that hard from my experience with it in P3rd. I didn't have much problems taking him down with my water gunlance. I hugged his stomach as close as possible and just shelled and poked away.

Yeah. Kushal got a bunch of new stuff, but Teo felt mostly the same. And yet, Kushal is still pathetic compared to Teo. Go figure.
Managed to solo the Ukanlos urgent on my first try. It took 30 minutes though with my fire SnS, but it wasn't too hard. It toppled over a lot when I kept hitting the back leg. Only thing that kept hitting me was the roar. > . <
My Palicoes were super helpful during that fight.

Going after my Ukanlos urgent once I finish this quest. Anyone want to join up?
That was the first time i faced them and it showed.
Teo seemed like it was gunning for me. Getting one-shotted is crazy too
I will be later tonight after work, like 8 pm est
Thanks!
You need to be HR7 to get the Caravan Teostra quest. Don't remember what else you need to do besides that.
I'll help out.

bad gameplay lol
Hm, I can get the Rustshard dragon element hammer (Breath Core Hammer) right now. Is it worth it? I know the dragon SnS was (still is?) super worth it back in MHFU. Used it to take down Kushala Daora a few times. Not sure how useful the hammer would be against the elder dragons, though. Since elements are usually more of a big deal on weapons that can hit several times quickly.

For hammer, you're worried about sharpness and raw above all else. Don't worry about element, really.
