Is it worth getting? I've got a couple of Dragongems but I put off getting the CB since it's an Elemental phial.
6% low rank drop is basically a free item!Oh looks like I've got most of the mats for my next CB! I just need some s.queen extract! Let's see-

It's too early in the game for this
Elemental phials > impact phials and it's also the only low rank water CB. I plan on using it for Brachydios.
I'm down. Maybe I'll find some Kelbi so I can finally finish off my first HR set lol.
Oh really? I've been sticking to Impact so far, I guess it would be nice to have a variety of elemental ones to switch up for certain hunts.
Awesome thanks
first time on HR 4, I hear it gets tougher from here Which are the necessary quests?
Anyone else feel free to join

Man, the single player in MH4 is SOOOOOO improved from MH3U. It's constantly adding more stuff for you to grab and improve your farming/gathering, and actually feels like there's a story half worth paying attention to.
Things start really flowing once you get around that second required expedition.

That's practically giving it away compared to what comes later.
Need at least someone else
everything under 5% is the same to me when it comes to grinding, what miffs me here is that it's required for the guardsquall+ upgrade which is pretty early on. Not to mention the paltry selection of CB's.

I've played a bit of Freedom Unite and liked it, but I'm OBSESSED with this game now. Love the hammer, but the insect glaive is a ton of fun too-- but I'm confused about which nectars to give the kinsect. Anyone have any general tips for that?

I have no idea how Meowster Hunters work.
Gore Insect Glaive rips through Magala! Farming is much easier.
Also read the Palico guide. Interesting stuff. I also had something weird happen, my protection Palico has Last Stand, but when I was fighting a boss he was reviving multiple times. Doesn't Last Stand power up your cat at the cost of no revives?
If your talking about the mini game, red attacks are strong against blue, blue attacks are strong against yellow, yellow is strong against red.

It's a game of rock paper scissors. Make sure you take cats that the monsters are weak to and then use the super effective attacks. The color triangle is in the lower right when you're choosing what you want them to fight.

GaijinHunter on YouTube has a good video about the Insect Glaive
I'm on mobile so can't link but just type in "gaijin hunter insect Glaive" or "gaijin hunter kinsect" and the tutorial should be the first hit. Seductivpancakes

These egg-delivering missions are awful and I'm pretty sure would qualify as genuine torture.

Is it possible to duplicate hercudrome bugs? They aren't showing up for some reason
I'm nearing 30 hours. In fact I probably surpassed it in my last play session.
Try 37 hours.
I enjoyed the story. It was cool going around places and the npcs are funny.
:O You already beat Rusty?

collect a billion (more than 5) palicos (every solo quest, go to the cat area and find the one recruitable cat and recruit it)
make sure they aren't 1st string and are stringers (aka not on your main team)
start meowster hunter. all you care about (for my explanation) is the red, blue, and yellow icons next to each cat. look at the monsters you're facing.
red: bring yellow icons
blue: bring red icons
yellow: bring blue icons
some cats have two icons per. great! take them. try to have an even distribution and I suggest having one green cat (healer)
each round you're randomly given a choice of icons to pick. Pick the correct color to fight against the monster, as shown above. R->B->Y->R (think R(W)BY ;_
the end. you get one provision each quest. so do three random quests then do a full meowster hunter run.

I like em. in the old games I'd have loc lac armor with me and it's easy peasy. this time around I"m just getting felyne supercat and lander from food orders and it's easy.

Or just skip all that and send them from the cat in your house. No need to do the minigame that way

It just two of us, but it was fun nonetheless
And yeah, Gypceros is immune to shock trap
All of its weapon looks promising

So I just did a "catch four goldenfish" quest, and got an upgrade to my casting machine saying I can "catch more fish"... Does that mean more VARIETIES of fish, or number of fish per haul?

Yep, good hunts! I forgot about that though. I even had a pitfall trap with me. > . <

I think it just adds a star to the fish ingredient when eating a meal, which means meals with fish in it gives more stats than before

Just spent a long time looking at my equipment and trying to figure out a combination that would allow me to use both Pellet Up and Fast Charge. It's just not happening this early.
Deciding to slot Speed Gather into my poop-tier Pellet Up armor instead. Or, I may just try and get the Mosgharl armor, as time consuming as that may be.

Huh? I'm not talking about a cook upgrade, I'm talking about the casting machine.
Regardless, a cat seemed to have cleared it up -- it's more varieties. I was hoping for more quantity!

Edit: nevermind
No. 7* and up is high rank and the 6* quests are low rank.
