Fought Stigyan zinogre for the first time tonight.
I'd prefer to be dropped alone into an arena with a Tigrex, a Nargacuga and a raging rathalos than to fight that thing again.

The final high rank quest doesn't get unlocked until you reach HR100. I was hoping you could post the quest so I could start G rank before I reached 100.

Went to sleep after I posted. The armor pieces are Dire Miralis head and boots, Furious Rajang chest and waist and Rusted Kushala Daora gloves.
I found it amusing that he shows up HR instead of G, like he did in 3U. He was G-rank-exclusive for good reason in that game.
Completed my ultimate guard lance set.
Guard +2
Guard Boost
Sharpness +1
Weakness Exploiter
Mind's Eye
Tremor Res (extra skill)
It looks like donkey ass though so I'm not even gonna bother posting a pic.
I love the killtimes, speed and mobility of evade lancing, but if you don't have dash juice you can get 1 shot at those super fast elder dragons. This guard is just rock solid and withstands anything.

Hey man, share some of those gems ok?
He's the only monster I've had that kind of trouble with. I was busting some rhymes with the horn a good distance away from him while he was walking by and I suddenly died. Now I stay faaarrrr away.
Teostra's Horns are the real gem

How do I get Gravios Carapace? There isn't a high rank mission for regular Gravios that I can find.

There are multiple high rank quests for regular Gravios. Check the HR5 and 8-9* caravan quests.

In 8* caravan, you should get a Gravios Hunt-a-thon. Just have to keep playing and you'll unlock it.

Frenzy Crystals - I like the sound of these, I can basically multiply items like Frost Sac etc with those?
I just find it immensely amusing that I would get four of an item with, at best, a 5% drop rate. The odds of that happening must be exponential.
I'm still in high rank.

What's a good Fire SnS for HR? Everything I find either need G-Rank materials or has Negative Affinity.
Also, how much does affinity impact a Fast weapon such as SnS or DB, in both Raw damage and elemental damage?

What's the set if you don't mind sharing?

Basically the same as positive infinity, but reverse. You have [affinity]% chance to do 75% damage instead of 125% damage.

A man said to the Desire Sensor, "I want a Rathalos Mantle." The Desire Sensor said, first remove "I", that's ego, then remove "want", that's desire. See now you are left with only a Rathalos Mantle.
I did a charm run yesterday where you break his back and end via subquest, got a mantle as a reward. :lol

The desire sensor knows even your desire for the game. I wanted my hands to not hurt, but neither gamestop in town had a circle pad pro, so now I will not have comfort until friday.

I searched for it all week, and even asked for it before the release date. The day before, I went to the local equivalent of GameStop to ask if they were going to have it the day after, but they told me it was delayed and they would get it on the first days of March!
I finally bought it on digital for about 15 USD less than a physical copy.
Here in my city, those who don't like Digital Versions are still waiting for the game...

That explains everything
On the other hand, is it me or is Brute Tigrex... really easy ? ^^

Brute Tigrex was introduced in P3rd, of course it's easy.
Stygian being G rank only in 3U had nothing to do with its difficulty.
Your DC really had the worst possible timing, juuuust as we were doing your urgent :/
Good hunts tho!
....... Of course I carve it. The drop rate is like 50% on tail which is why i'm angry. I ended up with like 15 Rath Medulla 3 tails and 2 rubies.
I got them now, guess its time to grinding Shagaru Magala for his gem so I can upgrade my dragon hammer.
Just bought this today since I've been interested in trying it for a while, it'll be my first MH experience. I'm already aware I'll have to spend like 60 hours before I even get the hang of the game, but I think I'm ready. lol
Unfortunately I don't have the money to spare on a N3DS, so I'll just be playing this on my lowly 3DS XL.
Anyway, time for the most cliche question ever: what's a good weapon for a beginner?
I'm currently leaning towards Dual Blades, Greatsword or Longsword. Maaaaybe Sword and Shield. Damn I hate having so many options.

Sorry for the DC guys, and THANKS! Wasn't expecting that ending so unexpectedly.

LS was the first weapon that clicked for me. SnS is also good. GS forces you to learn the monsters, but IMO isn't a great starting weapon. But now I'm all about the insect glaive. Once you master gathering monster nectar, it's a beast in DPS, incredibly mobile, and super easy to use.
I recommend greatsword.
I'd say Greatsword is beginner friendly. Super easy to use, not a whole lot of moves, but plenty of satisfaction for nailing those charge attacks. Just be prepared to roll/sheath a lot with it because you walk like a snail with it out.
Sword and Shield, Hammer, and Long Sword are pretty good beginner weapons. Once you finish the tutorial quests you unlock optional tutorials for every weapon.

That's surprising! You're one of the most knowledgeable people in here so I figured you'd also be one of the furthest.

Had my worst run with Teo just now, got a gem from carves though so it was worth it.
It's cause I do every quest available before moving on to my next urgent. I could be G rank right now (I have my Ukanlos urgent), but I want to finish up all of the 7* guild hall quests first.
Very similar to the LN set I ran in 3U. Just exchange weakness exploit and tremor res for crit eye +3.
