How do I get stars on my food ? I have two ingredients with a star but I don't know how I got it. Do I have to just carve that monster to get better quality food ?

By doing canteen quests. They have a blue fish symbol on the side.

You have to do certain quests to upgrade your kitchen. See : http://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/2wa344/mh4u_canteen_quests/

I hope a huge fraction of the newcomers come to love the series and stick with it. As far as I'm concerned, Monster Hunter is Capcom's last franchise they haven't fucked up.
Thanks!

TRUTH
If they keep iterating like they have with 4th gen I will continue to be excited for the future.
I do hope the next one blows me away just like this one did

Actually, I think NA is the most in the west. There were some good sales in France, Germany and UK. But I doubt it will surpass NA. Anyway just let's hope Capcom is pleased enough, so the next entry won't see such a huge delay again.

Didn't MH3U sell more in Europe?
I feel like they are a slighlty bigger and more enthusiastic market for Monster Hunter
I could be wrong

I heard people saying shipped was around 350k NA (or US I can't remember) and 300kish for Europe.

That is just effing fantastic
Thats a big jump above MH3U
So pumped for the series future in the West
I blame lack of sleep for misreading your post. Thought it said HR3 Urgent.
Good a time as any to crash out now.
Edit: Oh and a big thanks to Hawthorne Kitty. Helped me out a bunch!

Did some Teostra guild quests around lv130. Main thing that messed me up with that thing is that stupid charge. Got evade + 2 now and I barely had to heal. Didn't even use my own shit, just the pots at the beginning.
Managed to score a 4 edgemaster helm and a 4 readiness (sheath control) 3 slot talisman. Why couldn't it be edgemaster? ;_;

Head GQs are probably the best ones. Wanna share/trade?

Damn, those Caravan 9* quests are hard 
Any tips for 'Omen in the Skies' (the Azure rathalos one) mission ? I've considered crafting a Nerscylla S set with anti-poison and fire-res 10 gemmed in especially for this mission, is it a good idea ?

Well, yes, that's a good idea short term, but you might be annoyed if you use a lot of resources just for one quest and then you never end up using the armor again.
What sort of weapon are you using? When I was farming that quest with an HBG my solution for his homing claw grabs was to install a shield in order to block them outright and that worked out well enough. Anti-poison should be helpful, but avoiding the hit entirely is preferable if you can (Evasion +1/2 perhaps?). I've also seen flash bombs used to good effect in order to bring him down for some easy hits.
Also, if you take too long you're liable to have to deal with the Pinecone Wyvern also, so have dung bombs ready in order to separate them.

Dear guy with dreads on the silver line metro,
I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to interrupt your hunt.

Or just eat for Fire Res up and Firestarter skill and use the slots for something offensive.
Which isn't such a problem for Nerscy S armour, since it's easy to make, has decent defense and can help you with any poisonous monster, if they give you trouble, even at the beginning of G-Rank. I'd say it's a pretty great set, up there with Velo S and Tetsu S for HR to early GR usability.
Welcome to the hunt! This is my first game in the series as well. Don't hesitate to ask questions here. This thread has been very helpful to me as I've settled into the game.Just bought a brand - new - New 3DS with this game and I can't be more excited to start this one! Never played any of the monster hunter games before but I think I'm really going to like it
The only thing I want to ask before starting is if there is anything that I can unknowingly miss in my playthrough? I hate it when stuff can only be obtained at that one point in the game and then disappears or becomes unobtainable (Like the zodiac spear in FF XII T_T) and would like to avoid that if possible.
Also, how much does it matter if I pick male or female?
There is nothing you can miss. It's kind of the opposite actually, in that there are elements of farming/grinding materials.
Regarding male/female, it is purely an aesthetic difference. It doesn't effect the gameplay at all. That said, it is a fairly significant aesthetic difference in that every armor has male/female variants which can be fairly different. My rough estimate is that online is split 80/20 male to female, so female might make you stand out a bit more. I personally went with female (I'm a dude).
To give you a further answer on character creation, some of the superficial features like hair and clothing can be changed in-game but things like gender and face are set forever. Definitely make sure that you are happy with your character before you dive in. It is worth spending 30 minutes up front so you don't regret what your character looks like for the next 100+ hours.
I rarely see IG and DB though, mostly CB or GS somehow. While it's true that SA become unpopular.
Gunners (and HH users) are very rare, which is why I happy to see them when they enter a random lobby.
Gaffers have their fair share of gunner though, mostly HBG and Bow.
lol
I don't know why, but when I'm using lance and below the monster, while it's better to use straight thrust, I keep using diagonal thrust instead, as if it is stronger somehow
Out of all Capcom team, I guess MonHun team have the biggest autonomy.

Yes, it's exactly was I fear - especially as far better armors are right around the corner... if I kick Azure's ass
I main GS, I've yet to diversify into other weapons for the time being (in MHFU I played hammer/GL/LS/GS/LBG). Even with quick-draw, following and reacting to his attacks has been hectic; I will give HBG a try ! A friend seems to work wonder with an IG when pitted against a rathalos, too ^^
You are right ^^
Just to add to this, your hunter's voice is another thing that cannot be changed after character creation. While your face may often be covered by a helmet, you're going to hear all the grunts and cries your hunter makes the whole game. So hit the voice button a few times, cycle through all the sounds your hunter makes, and be extra sure you're happy with it before starting in.

I did the Yukumo DLC quests by myself yesterday. Is the
scaled with Caravan HR health or Gathering Hall health because I killed it in the same time I would take me to kill a Caravan HR
.

Man, why some monster parts in this game so tough to break? Diablos second horn, Basario wing, it's like they want to make Partbreaker more useful.
I think due to the location of the fight, Capcom tune down the health.

The first two diagonal thrusts ARE stronger than straight. The 3rd are equal strength.
It also looks cooler to me. More like Jason and the Argonauts or Sinbad where the adventurers are futilely stabbing at monsters with sticks!
Sadly it doesn't play the full range. I think I chose voice 8, thinking I was satisfied with his battle cries, only to find out that when running he grunts like a 80 year old chain smoker.
I think G. Jaggi is severely weakened in this game, himself and his armor alike.
I actually like the early fast sharpen, so that doesn't mind me. I am glad it's not me. I assume it ramps up to normal levels soonish?

So that 9* Urgent Quest - Is it regular Kusha or Rusted Kusha? They have different weaknesses, and I've never fought either.
On the guides, it says Rusted, but no where in the game does it talk about it being Rusted.

If you got good at MH3U, you'll likely feel like the game is on training wheels until high rank.
TatteredHat

I think it's Rusted, given that it's brown. You don't get any loot from it aside from a single Daora Scale, so I couldn't really say for certain. It's mostly just an event quest anyway though, the NPCs do most of the work.
You lose max stamina over time naturally, if you don't drink hot drinks in cold environments you lose max stamina much faster than you would otherwise.
Ah, that's ok, i guess. I saw some G-rank fights and it seemed like it is harder this time around. So my misconception just sort of shocked me.
I am now doing lvl 3 quests and it still feels easy. It probably because I am used to the game now.
What's a good armor to go for after the G Jaggi one for a gun lancer? I mean something I should be able to attain now.
DrROBschiz

Yeah
This game has the easiest offline campaing of any game in the series... or more like the monsters health is significantly lower. They still hit pretty hard but they go down really fast too.
Dont worry it jumps up at High rank and G Rank

Ohhh gotcha. I was all worried about bringing the right weapon to get his weakness right and everything. If it's no big deal, I won't worry about it.
The maximum size of your stamina bar goes down naturally over time during a hunt. You'll need to chug rations or eat cooked steaks to bring it back up (among other ways). It reflects your hunter getting tired/hungry.
Thanks for the help guys, good to know that I can't miss anything. Also I went with male and doing the training 1 star quests now (so many x_x).
Currently not liking the lance very much, but I think I need to get a hang of aiming my lunges (is there a lock-on in this game? In the intro it said I can L to lock-on but now it opens my inventory o.o) but the dash attack is quite fun!

Thank you.
You can lock on big monster by tapping on them on the touch screen. Then if you tap L it turns the camera towards the monster. There is no real lock on.
Capcom really want to make MH4U newbie friendly as much as possible. The intro is great, there is help button everywhere, and the quest with the goofy story give better sense of progression. As someone who started with MH3U this is very noticeable.
If you play offline extensively, even Capcom ease up the transition from LR to HR.

How the hell do you even complete the new one?
Like the distance seems impossible to cover even at max health and stamina
Any way to mitigate the burn damage?
