I would if I wasn't about to go to the store. Let's do something when I get back.

Got 3 Shagaru Magala mantles in 1 hunt.
Obviously I dont need it.

Some might remember I made a great Blademaster armor set a while ago. I thought that might be one of the ultimate sets, but then I found out about Rodeo God. As a glaive user Rodeo God has become a must have skill. With it I can mount almost twice as much, which highly increases the damage the whole group does.
So I finally had a new mission: create a set with Honed Blade, Steady Hand and Rodeo God. Not an easy task I assure you. After looking through armor parts for hours on kiranico I finally found a combination that gives me:
Honed Blade
Steady Hand
Rodeo God
Expert +1
Constitution +1
750+ defense
It requires some DLC stuff that I can only access with the help of a reviewer friend, but getting and upgrading this set will keep me busy for the next few weeks.

Athena's A.S.S. could've done that for you in a matter of seconds.
Just noticed I didn't post my response. Honestly other than a few minor changes including hitboxes, I do feel like the gameplay is really solid and the game is really timeless.
I actually feel like some aspects of this one are a step in the wrong direction. But I think just continual AI improvements and keep creating unique monsters would be enough especially getting a larger variety of monsters with each new iteration.
But where's the fun in that? Its much more satisfying when you went through and did all the math yourself.Athena's A.S.S. could've done that for you in a matter of seconds.

Haha, Athena's A.S.S. actually can't find any results for the skills I want.

Athena can't find any results even if you just put in Honed Blade + Steady Hand and nothing else.
Must be due to those pieces from dlc.
The biggest changes throughout the series has been the changes in AI. Go fight gold rathian in MHFU then try fighting her in MH4U. She's so much easier in FU because of her lack of attacks and predictable behavior.
I hope it looks great because it might be my only mixed set.Some might remember I made a great Blademaster armor set a while ago.

I don't believe that this is possible. Would you mind posting your results?

If I can get both Honed Blade and Steady Hand on one set (something I think Gaijin Hunter said was impossible), I don't care if it looks like I'm wearing monster vomit.
This is my current stance as well.
I think the program is still very incomplete when it comes to excavation armor and charms. You can activate those two skills together without too much trouble if you grind a few high level guild quests.
Oh yeah. The AI just keeps on getting better.
On another note: Some recommend me a SnS. Preferably one you use.

Let's rock, baby.
I'm in
Well I just got into a really bad mood with this game heh. After yet another DC issue that cause me to end with sub quest instead of facing Brachydios by myself, the next hunt was even worse after someone left when there was only one fail left, and then the other two players got dc. I went to just end with subquest, but dios pinned me down thus quest failed.<.< So ridiculous.

You didnt see Guild Quest Lv 130+
Guild Quest Weapon with +4 or +5 in Edgemaster (I have a few)
White Fatalis Head
Star Knight Armor
White Fatalis Legs
Talisman with +7 in mounting (I have 1)
For arms and waist you have some flexibility. One of them must be an excavation piece with +4 in Edge Lore (I have a waist) and the other must be Torso up (hopefully a high defense one). The key piece here is the Star Knight armor, with torso up it already gives me +6 in Edge Lore and +8 in mounting. I have most of the stuff I need, but it might be a while before my friend is willing to fight White Fatty.
It's still possible to get those three skills without White Fatty if I manage to get an excavation helmet with at least +2 in edgemaster, but the defense stat will probably suffer. I would then also lose expert and constitution.
Did you see the other set I posted? It's hideous.

Hey, I carted, you didn't. Keep that head held high.
Can't believe I tried to guard with no stamina.
You know, I will upgrade my Rath Soul Z fully with Divine Armor sphere for the looks alone
oh lol
Caravan Fatalis is down, which was a pretty dull fight. But I got an Evade Dist +6 charm with two slots, which is great. I could fit Challenger +2 into my Hermitaur Z set with a 3 slot weapon, which would be great. But my Zinogre HBG only has two slots, which is bad. I could forge one of the Najarala guns that have three slots, which are pretty powerful. But those guns don't have good pierce clips, which makes Hermitaur Z's Recoil Down and Pierce Up skills not useful, which is bad.
Looks like it's time to start mixing sets.

Mind posting pics of the gear and talisman?

Yep. And I forgot cool drinks, lol.
Not posting pics of an incomplete set. Once it's done I'll show you guys.
shit I just died doing the same thing lols
G zinogre one shotted me once, so I eat for moxie now out of fear
and of course that means I never get hit by him
Is the dlc you need the one coming in April?
Probably not. I bet Capcom wants to save White Fatty for a while.

Is it possible to get mantles and other rares like that from the g rank expeditions? Reason I ask is because I'm one blos hardhorn from making his full armor. Crazy how I got almost everything from doing a few of those eh?

Does Diablos ever appear in single player HR quests? I'm at 10* and have yet to encountere one.
Diablos is only G rank in this game, so you'll need to hit a certain G rank online before you can get the Diablos 10* quest for offline.
1 slot open for Shagaru Magala guild quest
Diablos is G Rank, but he indeed appear in Caravan Quest 10* as part of Hell Hunters quest line.

Yay, made some Seltas Faulds. Unfortunately they hit my Stamina Recovery for -2, and none of my other gear makes up for it
When do I start finding runes or whatever it is that fills the gear slots? Still making my way through the Level 1 HR Quests in the Gathering Hall, haven't started on the Level 2 Caravan Quests

The -2 are no biggie, cause the skill is not active (would need like -10). I kind of wonder if you are aware that you have no active skills actually? Those numbers with the armor pieces could mean nothing if you have so little of those points for each skills.
