You find rust shards and ancient shards, but the gear you get from them is either going to be really shitty level 1 or 2 weapons, or they'll be the rusted and worn weapons.
At the endgame (level 140 guild quests) you can find gear better than the gear you craft.
You can use as many types as you want, I got at least one of each except for Staff, Heavy Bow Gun and Light Bow Gun. However is a good idea to focus on a couple of weapons until the mid-late game if this is your first game.
You can find gear (armor/weapons), but its really rare to find any. And even rarer for it to even be remotely better than anything you currently own/can make/upgrade.
Matter of opinion. I know people who strictly specialize. I myself jump around between a lot of types (CB, LS, SnS, Lance, Bow, DS). If you're going for multiple weapons early, pick one to be a main, and the others to complement what you lack (aka, if you pick a weapon that makes it hard to cut tails/dizzy monsters/status effects, get other weapons to make up for the deficiency)

In all the previous games, I've traditionally switched between 3-4 on the way up, but this time, I STILL feel like I'm mastering the CB nearly 200 hours in, so I'm not branching out until I'm done "progressing".
Definitely feasible to use multiple types though.

What's the best GS route that people recommend?
I have Teo del Sol, wondering if it's even worth the time to make the Light break blade.
Has it slightly higher raw, which equates to about 10 extra damage but much lower blast and less purple with sharpness +1.
10 damage isn't a lot. But it's bugging me. Raw is king is hard to erase from my mind. Feel like I won't be making out my damage output with the Teo GS.
I went with the metal series, the ones you make most from various ore via mining, devistator blade, ect. Used that until high rank where I made the red pincer from hermitar and used that through most of high rank. Then got the Cheda blade from seregios at the end of high rank and haven't stopped using it, upgraded it as I went in to G Rank and it's been awesome.
It has white sharpness and really high raw for a high rank GS. In G Rank it's easy to farm Seregios and get mats to nearly fully upgrade it. Just hold onto at least 1 lens from the final upgrade were you'll need a conqueror's seal as well.

There are several. So far, I've used Santoku Reaver > Funayuki Reaver, then Tiger Jawblade > Tigrex Great Sword. Dios Blade, Executioner (-> Cera), Red Pincer and the Magala path are interesting too.
Earv lets kill double diablos at 3pm?

I want to do it again but I don't remember, was it high rank or low?

Alright, thanks!
I forgot Ren was one of the event quests. Might run that for all the EX weapons just as an excuse to fight him over and over. Fighting Ren with a full team of hunters is one of my favorite Monster Hunter experiences.

Just got God's Isle... is it time to start gunning?!
No, it's hardhorn farming time! In 30 :d

Nope, I did it too, and an extra one just for fun.
What are some good armor skills for status gunning besdies status atk +2?
(help I have no idea what I'm doing)
Reposting
For the God's Archipelago, Recoil Down +1, or maybe +2. Attach a silencer to bring recoil down another step. That should be enough to fire off the status 2 shots without recoil. Take the limiter off so you can load all the shots at once. Then once status is applied, fire off all the levels of crag and/or clust for a massive barrage of explosions.
Just a tup, posting "farming XYZ" isn't enough information. Is it high rank, low rank, G rank? Is it a guild quest?
This kind of stuff would be helpful to know. For example I have no desire to farm G rank chem, but I would love to do 120+ guild quests of him!
(but not right now, I'm going to the store)
Edit: thx for the fun advice!

You mean stones? I got two stacks (You get two in every stack) after eight runs.
When you consider how mind boring Dah'ren is it's not really a good way to farm them.

It's a shame that the Cera Cymmetry beats out the Enforcer's Axe in pure raw, I really like the look of the Executioner GS line.

Still need to beat him up?
*quick edit: I don't understand the armor skills on gunner Black Gravios armor. In what dimension will guard up ever be useful for gunning?
You can attach a Shield to a Heavy Bowgun and guard with it.

It wasn't even for me but I was curious to see what would happen if I eventually beat him and I was the only one left in the room, ah ah.
Still need to beat him for myself but it will probably wait another day. Thanks !

Can anyone please help with my HR7 urgent?
How the hell are people 'too weak' to fight LR Tetsu?

That I knew but I mean I thought guard skills didn't apply to that shield.
I'm around there as well, I'll be on in a bit if you wanna group up.
