That's probably what it's best for. Just add Load Up, Element Atk Up, etc. But there's not a lot of those quests with wildly different weaknesses to take advantage of it, which is a little disappointing.
Carving while crouched is the only way to get all 9 carves from a Fatalis without speed gathering (provided you roll to the next carving spot and immediately crouch afterwards to carve again).
-Alternis
I'd recommend building the transporter set from this link.
Helped me a ton and I think I made the set very early on.

"Blade" Bow + Aerial Style. Can you just imagine. That's it folks, I'm giving up my blades. I've used the bow mostly in MP, but not being able to sever tails (only with that really weak melee attack) was a major bummer. With this, all my issues are gone.
Then you'd miss out on one of the most fun fights though!
Probably my favourite solo fight in the whole game with an Elder Dragon.
Does load up effect the amounts of shots you do in Rapid Fire as well? I'm pretty new to Gunning and never tested out the skill myself.
Edit:
And OH. MY. GODDESS.
That looks so awesome. *w*

Looks like a new Najarala subspecies.

The early egg quests will be needed for the coveted rainbow pigment too. They're more bearable with a good supply of Mega Dash Juices and/or Pro Transporter, at least.
Bonus Shot adds another bullet to your rapid fire volleys. Load Up just adds a single bullet to each clip of loadable ammo. In the case of the Absolute Bowgun, going from 3 shots per clip to 4 shots cuts out 5 reloads for every 60 shots, which is a lot less time standing around over the course of a hunt.
Aerial style. With aerial style, you have no invulnerability frames. He did say you can sidestep with the aerial style, but didn't emphasize if the sidesteps have invulnerability. It was the video where people were playing the demo, hunting the Great Makow.

Back awake and still need low rank zinogre pieces. Let me know if you're free 
I'll make a room if there's interest.

think that's the aerial style. They get the jumps on exchange.
They're trying to make this game look like God of War or what?

Aerial style with HBG is something else. Looks like you can hop, shoot down at the monster on the way over, then land and roll directly into crouching fire. Not much new other than the big nuke shot, though.
Yep, every egg quest up to the Rathalos/Rathian one if I remember that correctly.
They were so easy to do with my G-Rank gear. I'll never attempt to do them starting out with the game, way too much of a hassle.
Thanks! I see. I use Reload Speed +2 to compensate for all the times I have to stand around and reload.
Now, should I switch sets and get something that gives me the skills you mentioned instead or is the skill I use okay too?
Sure, I'll help.Back awake and still need low rank zinogre pieces. Let me know if you're free

In my experience, faster reload speed is better for ammo types that naturally reload slow, like pierce or dragon shots. But for normal or elemental shots that reload pretty fast, it doesn't seem to make any difference once the speed gets down to "Average". Cutting out reloads entirely by upping clip sizes seems more advantageous.
Unfortunately, the Load Up skill itself is annoyingly expensive to gem in and Bonus Shot only slightly less so.

So white fatty is pretty awesome. His weapons don't seem like anything special though. Armor looks cool at least. Might try to make the set.
So it would actually be more useful for HBGs then who use Pierce shots more. I'll remember that for future armor making decisions. ^^
And yes, a lot of skills for Gunners seem to be hard to get.
Oh, were you one of those two hunters I was with? I was Shi-Hanz.

These are all sick, but the most important thing I noticed is he did a powershot AND an arc shot with the same bow. Every bow confirmed to have both then?
Horrible luck, honed blade, constitution +1, critical eye +3, with only 2 O (single) slots. Not the best set. Though when fully upgraded each armor piece has 156 defense.
Some of his weapons are superior to other thunder weapons.

Zinogre for sure with dahren's second phase right behind it. They're both such awesome tracks.

The wonders of playing with randoms <3
If you want to do more later I'll join you. Need a wyvern gem and rathalos seems like a good way to do it.

Or not. Why does rathalos not drop these? capcom, pls.
Chameleos and Teostra

Wyvern gems are from monsters with no specific stone, ruby, gem, sphire, etc. of their own. Examples include Khenzu, Diablos, and Najarala.
-Alternis
I can't decide between both halves of the Jhen/Dah'ren Mohran theme, the Ceadeus suite, and Teostra's.

That just isn't fair. Los is a king. He deserves all the gems he can get.

Ugh I give up. 2 days trying and this random got it after 2 tries. I need some air. I've fought him so much I'm just so over this guy. And why does he always go for me with his poisonous claws. I hate you Rathalos.

I'm gonna say white fatalis, most themes I forget till I fight that monster again. W. Fatalis' stays with me though, kinda haunting track.
Brachy or Zinogre
Hm a few to choose from, but I really love listening Phase 2 of Dah'ren Mohran. Give kind of a epic last stand.
lol Should I go back and finish up the major 1-4* quests or just keep trucking? I want to farm Gore now for the armor set, but people keep talking about this Ceneataur Crab thing has a really good set too.
It's a mix of Gore and Ceneataur (whose parts you can only get from trading, not any actual quest) armor that gives you sharpness +1 (either gives you more sharpness, but more MUCH more often than not upgrades your sharpness bar. For example, green becomes blue, blue becomes white, and white becomes purple). You can search up the set online.
I'd say it's your choice, but I'm leaning towards keep going.
Although completing all low rank quests earn you with rainbow pigment.

does "all low rank quests" include the 6* elder dragons?
