You can set which quests will be available for your HfH using the gong settings if you're offline.
If you're online you can change the room settings there yeah.

It's basically an ice version of Akantor.
So an ice punching bag, nice.

2 spots left, doing HR brachy and G1 stuff.
Just did the Tetsu with the Insect Glaive. I'm still so bad at it, I got him to sleep and then I ran out of potions. I thought I'm dead, threw the insect at him... and he died. Phew! Haha.
If this is happening now, I really don't know how far I will last with this challenge. I'll try going as far as I can, but holy crap the stone smash did like 80% to me.
I guess I would have had a much easier time if I didn't use the Glaive... I really need to get used to the power+ combos, they're hard to use. I'll stick to using my trusty lance for first time monsters though.
This really livened up the music at the volcano, I wonder if the previous music will show up again.

Question guys. I'm trying to unlock the whale hammer and I already did the huntathon for zinogre but I didn't see the two black gravios which according to Kiranico is the next hunt in the chain. Did I forget something?

Did you talk to everyone with a speech bubble / did you do the other quests?

Maybe you have to do a quest in the meantime for their next quest to pop up?

Ok great, that helps thanks.
So is there any benefit to joining someone else's room rather than completing my own quests in a room of my own making? I'm keen to progress and I'm also wary of jumping in to someones high level quest.

Sound good I guess. On my way.

After I talked to the armory girl the bubble went away.
I'm trying that now with regular Gravios. We'll see if it works.
So on Dahren Mohran, he only has two breakable parts on his back right? One in each 'section'? With those parts being the equivalent of Jhen's back scales, where you want to break them with your weapon and move on.
I'm not sure what to do with the anti dragon bombs in that case. Is there some way to get up on his horn and place them? The one time I fought him, I broke it with the dragonator in the final phase.

Love knocking those two out with my hammer.
More than once I've been happily crafting decorations then suddenly everything's greyed-out and I'm broke as a joke. Don't remember that happening in other games.

I'm almost certain you can break through the crown/wall like portion near the front blowhole and access the horn. There are a couple of mining spots behind it as well.
5 star Caravan quests, I believe. They're in Heaven's Mount and even have a quest to kill a bunch of them.
Caravan 5* and HR3 at the hall both have remobra slaying quests.
I love it for single and online. It's just as good as anything else.

For you MH pros, how many potions do you go through in a fight that you consider "went well".
Also, if I'm not bouncing my attacks, is the number of times I have to sharpen a good rough way to gauge how much damage I've done to a monster?

I see a lot of comments about soloing in HR. Perhaps I'm the only person who never goes for monsters in HR alone. It takes too long and is wayyyyyyyy more fun with other people. If you have the option, play with other people! Even if you have no clue what to do. I got carried on a few monsters that I had never seen before, but I will pass that knowledge along by helping someone else next time. It's all part of the experience.
What rank? In low rank I only use the three first-aid meds. In high rank I consider a no cart run where I only use 3-5 regular potions a good run. I haven't made it to G rank yet.
between 10 and 15 minutes (my average time for the HR6 and 7 high rank monsters) isn't a long time. Even HP tanks like Gravios and Black Gravios go down in under 15.
If you only used a couple of megas you're probably doing fine.
Not really, because WHERE you hit the monster makes a huge difference in damage. I'd use the monster flinches if anything.
Diablo's minions do not grow stronger with more players, so it's always beneficial to have people along when doing guild stuff. The randoms online tend to be a) Hispanic and b) pretty good at the game.
Against something like Rathian that I've really got down, I won't use any potions at all. If I'm really in the zone, I don't even get hit at all. But against monsters I'm still working on, 2-3 mega potions seems more typical. Stuff I've just met takes more but that's natural.

Still no whale quest but I did get 3 Gravios medullas so it was a good run.

It really depends. I always feel really good if I didn't use any healing at all except my palico's in low rank. Only 1-2 mega pots in High and not carting in G rank.
However there are times when I am willing to take an extra hit or two if I think its going to cut down the total time of the hunt like going for a risky KO or being extra aggressive to prevent a monster from zoning. I guess what I am trying to say is I am way more interested in how long the hunt takes vs how much healing. To me its no great challenge to play extra cautiously and not get hit but getting sub 10 min runs is my marker if I am on target or not.

Finally beat that stupid dragon on the boat. Annoying fucker. I cheesed him when I realized I could peg him with arrows from the top deck
I'm better now and feel dirty wasting too many potions, but when I first got into MH through Tri I basically considered any no-cart hunt successful, unless it took forever. Multiplayer is sometimes messier though, you end up going for things you shouldn't and at least I, personally, don't play as cleanly and well as in singleplayer.
thanks, Lazy and Ellie

Its much harder to predict the AI when its multiplayer so this is pretty normal I think. Some times you expect the monster to do something because it would normally do it when you are soloing but then it decides to charge a player on the other side of the map behind you.
Also sometimes a charging monster like diablos will go after a player running just in front of you so when you try to dodge it the normal way he just plows through you
They act as a shield and force you to bounce when you hit them.
So GAF, any tips for gathering sets? I just got to caravan 8* and thought about doing some farming so any advice on farming sets is welcome
Leather armour is pretty dece and cheap if you're just gathering. Both the LR and HR vers give you gathering +1 and speed gathering, LR version has Whim but you should be able to gem that in pretty easily on the HR ver. Either that or boost gathering all the way up really.
Also crouch to gather faster, saves you from going through the animation of it. With speedgather you can gather twice as fast as someone standing w/o speed gather. I've got it as a chat thing for when I do d. mohran lol, our fastest clear time on the LR ver is 7-8 mins I think
Maaan they really do a ton of damage. Still not enough to make me upgrade my armor but I'm thinking about just using mega potions already.
The new Lance jump is so fun to use that I keep spamming it and getting hurt :lol

Agreed on everything, though if it's a new monster or I haven't used the weapon in a while (I'm pretty rusty with the lance), I'll cut myself some slack

Getting charms is a lot of fun, and then disappointment settles in when you get nothing good.
I don't know how you are managing without mega potions, may be you are really good, but for me I always carry 10 of each.. even herbs.. one does never know when they are needed
Are you going to hunt today, earv?
