All apex monsters are immune to traps while in apex state; they'll just break them instead. Though as you may know, Rajang is very susceptible to pitfall traps while in golden rage mode once he's been knocked out of apex.

Rajang has more than one level of rage now?!
He goes super saiyan first which makes him more aggressive and then his real rage makes him hit harder and his arms become rock solid.

Do you guys ever feel like when you wear a certain monsters armor that you should be able to wipe the floor with em even if they still give ya a hard time?

Hey this is kinda dumb, but I never did the sootstone delivery quest for the drink upgrade. If there's anyone who's wiling to help, it would make it go much faster.
I'm getting a bunch of people joining and picking their own quest... That's getting real annoying real quick.
Thanks whoever Bearface is!

What a cockblock
Should've been Handicraft+7 with three slots
Not that would be glorious
I got this from reddit:
skill multiplier flat
Small 1x +15
Medium 1.03x +20
Large 1.05x +25
XL 1.08x +30
So unlike Attack skill that gives you only a fixed amount, Defense have 8% multiplier.
Fought two Teostra last night before Splatoon. I ended up with 3 Lrg Elder Dragon Gems. One from a tear the first fight, another two from the body carve on the second.
The RNG gods will surely demand a blood sacrifice soon. And I need a Gravios Pallium right now. Gulp..

Wait, what? Are you going to skill out the defense down it has?
Edit: Oh wow, I see. You're just going to use the chest piece. Whoops.
At least it's Gravios Pallium, not Black Gravios Pallium
Thats crazy! I could end up with about 943-944 defense! So my question now is, should I stay with divine protection and speed sharpening with 846 defense (861 after eating) or should I go for defense up L or XL to get around over 900 defense (even more because glaive buffs)?
-Alternis
Edit: Also, what's better, Miraculous luck or carving God?
-Alternis
I prefer Divine Protection since 100 extra defense against end game monster doesn't mean a bunch. Meanwhile Divine Protection reduced incoming damage by 30%, which is much bigger. Yes it's chance based but at least you could gem in another skill with the extra slot.
It depends on what you want: relic weapon and armor spheres? Miraculous Luck. Lashes, and carve materials? Carving God.

Is he as tough as the Golden Rajang from Freedom Unite? I never beat that one.
The question is: can you consistently capture a monster with randoms and/or without capture guru?
Hmm.... What would you say are the best skills to have add on to Star Knight armor (besides it's Sharpness +1)?
-Alternis
Bleh, actually I was referring to the full armor >.< I don't know why I call it wrothhide. Anyways, what if you gummed out the defense down?

You have a -15 on defense (Defense Down M) with 4 gem slots total. You'd need to have a hell of a talisman to get it out.
So honing for defense, does that Divine blessing stack with the armor skill divine blessing, and therefore also stacks with Felyne Defender when you eat for it? Because if so, holy crap.
Yes they do. Divine blessing, Defender (Hi), and honing stack. SO MUCH LESS DAMAGE

Alternis and i in this room. 2 more. just hunting for fun.

Doing runs for the Ghoulish Gold Gorer and i broke the horns faster using crit draw vs part breaker. How is that a thing I ask you?

Get rid of poison only if you're going up against something that has poison. Otherwise it's probably a nonissue.

Well don't take it to a cham fight that's for sure
*edit: GDI TEOSTRA! Just need them horns but nope, he gives me damn manes.

Think about wanting to get manes instead of horns. You might be able to trick the desire sensor.
Attack up or evasion. Also tremor resist or bio researcher depending on the monster.
What reasoning do you have behind your statement? Would those skills be better than day speed sharpening or divine protection? (I use glaive)

Going through the caravan quests (right now at end of level 4 quests) doing a few guild quests here n there with no failure so far (yes I know caravan quests are easier).
Primarily just trying to unlock all the villager/merchant bonus upgrades before guilding.
Still maining long sword and getting a better hang on the new abilities/combos since MHFU

I am not at home this week-end.
This is tearing my heart apart. Impressions from the gaf thread seem so good.
As much as I like speed sharpening, it's hardly a "necessary" skill, especially since the Star Knight set has steady hand built in. I tend to only sharpen when the monster is moving to another area, even if I have purple sharpness still; that way I don't lose sharpness in the heat of battle. I often finish hunts without seeing my sharpness degrade once.
Bio researcher and tremor res are far more useful, depending on the monster. Evasion is just the best for everything (better than divine protection, in my opinion, because avoiding attacks altogether is preferable to being hit slighty less hard). With fully upgraded Star Knight armor, and a defense-honed glaive you should have more than enough defense for even the strongest monsters.
I don't have a Wii U.

It was pretty good although the sniper rifle was kind wack.

I'm guessing evasion is preferred over bio researcher and Tremor res?
