You need HR; they appear in Caravan 7 or Guild 4.
Yeah the + version of parts comes from HR monsters. You'll basically fight tougher versions of the same monster and get newer/upgraded materials.
You will unlock HR expeditions when you reach HR4 as well, they will show up as an extra option on the world map.
HR G.Jaggi don't have a quest in the caravan I believe, but there is one with two to hunt in HR4.

Thanks for the help everyone! Made it up to HR6.
Did not expect Black Gravios to one shot me with his fire!

He appears in the HR A. Steppes harvest tour in caravan I believe. One of the harvest tours if nothing else.

Forgot about those, yeah, a subquest should indicate that you can hunt a G.Jaggi in one of the harvest tours.
I used Barroth to get me Tigrex S.

Question. I'm trying to farm ruby basarios but I'm kinda worried I'll do it too much and get locked out of the quest too soon so my question is when will I be given the boot?

If you're talking about a G-rank one and you being G3 you'll get locked out around 125
Just finished the HR6 Brachidyos key. That dude almost broke me. He was like my second triple cart in 120 hours but holy shit he almost took me out. If it weren't for a felyne defender proc I'd have been toast. He's definitely one of my weaker hunts and I had a hard time feeling safe enough to attack, especially towards the end of the fight.
Got my S. Magala urgent to move on to HR7. I'll probably crack at it solo to see if I can, but I have my reservations. I feel like I'm a decent player, but I'm not sure how much more I'll be able to do solo.

What does it mean when an element is grayed out? How do I get it to activate?
You need the armor skill called awaken.

The armor skill called awaken. You need 10 points in it.

I don't know if Sameon was someone from Gaf, but thanks a lot for all the help!

I dont have a new 3ds so obviously I've been using the digital dpad but oh my god I never realized you could resize the digital dpad to a size where it was actually usable!!
This is so much better.

Nope. Going to have to go grind some. It drops more often in low rank.
You guys still farming ? I should be able to join in about 20 minutes if you guys are still farming.

Those players probably concluded that that under-geared player will probably get triple carted before they finish the quest so they'll cut their losses instead.
Soloing in some cases is easier, because you have more control of the monsters. I don't reccomend it though. Boring as hell.

This makes a huuuuuge difference. My LBG game just got twice as good.

Getting one-shot? I'd probably leave, too. Undergeared to that extreme is a liability.

Not having too much an issue with the default size on my XL but I still went ahead and ordered an LL CPP last week.

Actually I was talking about high rank but that number seems high regardless.
It's alright, currently on one now though

Indeed. I'm burning out on solo. I'm looking at HR3 like... but I fought all those so much already... I think all my guild will be online from here on out.
Overall though I'm also kind of burning out on playing on shitty 3DS. I made the mistake of watching Wii U videos and I'm like oh man it would be so nice using a real controller and having a decent resolution.
Came in overprepared for the HR6 B.Gravios, made tetsu armour and the speartuna bow ( 96 raw/360 water!), gemmed in Reload speed and Evade dist+ thanks to a charm I had. Cleared it in 12 mins.
I actually made mine as big as I could when I was using it hah.

Its strange seeing Gravios get dominated by GS users.
Yeah, I'm guilty of playing 100s of hours of this series and never playing with anyone. Really hoping to change that this time though.
That being said I smoked S. Magala pretty hard and managed to hit HR7. I'm so close to G I can taste it.

If I was a braver man I'd use my phone as a hot spot to jump online but I can't imagine the potential lag.
I'm available again Kyzon, and joining him
finally unlocked caravan Daora and beat him twice, he's still an asshole. Never knew his wind could bat your bullets back at you.
Sped up my clear times significantly on the second run but I got a plan for the third - it gives you throwing knives when you complete the subquest, so I can combine for sleep knives and sleep bomb his head. Once it's broken the wind isn't as strong and it should knock a nice chunk of his hp off. This would be a lot easier if my gun had poison shots, but the whole reason I'm fighting him is to make a more versatile weapon.
I can't complain because I already got a daora gem on my second kill. Only need a couple carapaces and elder dragon bloods and I'll have my Daora Grande. That should be more than enough to deal with HR7.

Any tips on soloing Gore Magala? He's been enraged for the past 10 minutes. I can't get close to him and it's starting to get un-fun.
enraged as in his feelers are out and he's in that different stance? You need to damage his head to knock him out of that. Mounting or a trap is how I usually do it.
If he's got his feelers out, smash his head a couple times, even if you can't manage it straight away it gets easier to knock him out of that mode the longer it gets.
If he's enraged out of that, try mounting.

Feelers are out. I keep trying to get close, but he shot that fire blast 3 times in a row. Other times, he just insta-jump slams me. Online, it wasn't nearly this bad. But solo is just blah.
That monster is the goddamn devil, Shugaru is even worse though. Use a trap to get him in one place then wail away until he leaves rage mode. Sadly that won't work on his upgraded form because fuck you, that's why.
Breaking his feelers (the horns on his head) will bring him out of enrage. Not sure what weapon you're using but you might consider trapping him and wailing on his head. Also trying to get him near ledges so you can mount/topple him is good too. He'll come to you if you aren't chasing him all over the place.
General tips would be to stay near his ass once you have his movement down more. It's reasonably safe and you can get some good hits on him. Also punish when he usues his breath attacks. If you aren't directly in front of him the time should at least let you close the gap.
