Honestly if they didn't give her that near insta turnaround I wouldn't have so many problems with her. As it is as long as I got some space I can turn fast enough to block but I was under the impression that those charges were homing no?

They track but not fast enough to hit if you keep sprinting the entire time.

I mean, it kind of has to or else people without guard would be screwed.

You know, the elements are pretty unbalanced. Why would I want water resistance? Tidal Najarala is the only threatening water monster that comes to mind at this point in G1. Who else? Hermitaur/Plum, Cephadrome, Seltas, and Kecha Wacha? lol

Meanwhile you want fire resistance for

Rathian/Pink/Gold
Rathalos/Azure/Silver
YKK/Blue
Garuga
Gravios/Black
Basarios/Ruby
Ash Kechum
Akantor
Teostra
Fatalis?/Crimson?

Off the top of my head.

Can I say that I'm loving my Sergio gunlance? I forged that baby yesterday and poor monsters just die at first sight, tried brute tigrex challenge and that little bastard was limping after a few minutes, jeez. I've been playing with shitty weapons for too long, I mean, it's good to have a challenge but I was overdoing it ^^ I guess it's a good time to learn some evade lancing (I get sharpness by doing it with sergio stuff, right?) I've always been a lazy lancer and I love pressing that R button.

I'll be there in the caravan while I'm signing up with my new ISP. Miss you guys.

Oddly enough, there are many enemy weak to fire YET, so few weapon have fire element
I swear that MH3U have fewer monster but somehow better sense of elemental balance

Zam gives ice blight though, so it might be more ice than water
You forgot its fatter cousin

Teach me the way of the gunlance. I think I've been spoiled rotten by the lance's counter with guard+2 because the gunlance shots feel so unsafe. I end up basically guard poking, full bursting and wyvern firing things to death. It's like when I first started playing the MH3U demo and tried lance. I pick up this weapon and suddenly have no idea what I'm doing. lol

My guild cards have 100 gunlance fights in 3U and maybe 40 here, I'm no expert on the subject here's what I do: I only play long GL because my first priority is wyvern firing (I really love it) and I use it whenever I see a solid opening, you got an attack that makes a big move forward and that's pretty good for getting closer to the monster, never do that when you're under it. I avoid charged shots because they say it's not your best move with long gunlances.

TL; DR I'm a noob gunlancer ^^ we have people who main the beast here, they probably could be a better senpai!

 

[Leezard]

You can cart 9 times in arena? Not bad. I've only ever seen people cart 2 times and I was scared of failing the quest.

I'd be up for playing some arena, but I need to get some work done. I'd be on in two hours if you're still playing/looking for other players.

Monster Hunter: where you can fight 140 times with the same weapon and still not have mastered it.

Is there a way to tell whether you hit the monster with a shot, or am I just blind?

I want to go Long shot type as well but I happened upon a level 5 Normal type gunlance with Edgemaster points so I've been using that. Hopefully I can get a good long shot level 5 gunlance soon.

Online was pretty weak, but I got a lot accomplished today. Finished my horn/hammer armor with skills I like and finally got the earth dragonsphire (3, in fact) to compete my greatsword set. I even got a couple large elder dragon gems from one fight against teostra. Excellent!

Yeah I love how MH is always fresh, you can't master all of this stuff.

Here's my second fav thing about long GL (WF being the first): shells have a very long reach, your weapon touches the monster all the time, it's kinda hard to miss a shot. Give long GL a chance, they've never been one of my main weapons but things just die when I use them, you can combo pretty much all the attacks doing things as you like, parts break like I was nuking the sucker from a plane, it's just lovely. <3

 

[Spiritreaver]

Unless I'm not understanding your question properly, if you hit with a shot the area hit will have a fire effect around it. If you don't see that it's a miss.

It can be kinda hard to see if you're firing right on top of the monster though.

Sure, I'll be waiting!

Just got done with one where I was lancing and the other person was longswording, fucking tripping me the entire time with spirit combo after I knocked the monster down. Fuck longsworders, those greedy bastards.

 

[redcrayon]

What are the Lances I should be building toward? Got a plesioth one I've been quietly upgrading lol

The ones I use and am actively upgrading are Harmah (seregios/tigrex, auto-sharpens when you dodge and has high sharpness) and bone claw (crab, offers a meaty defence bonus). There's quite a few good elemental ones though, I switch it up a lot and have quite a few! I think i have about fifteen lances now as every time the upgrade tree splits I make/buy a fresh one. Then I've just upgraded everything as soon as I have the bits, I've only really farmed one creature (seregios) for parts so far. It's nice for me to be able to tailor them to a hunt though.

One of my lances has an elemental fire property, does anyone know if the Silver Rath skill 'fire attack up' will increase that?

Yep. Fire attack up (and the other specific elemental attack up skills) can go all the way to +3.

I had thunder attack up+3 for awhile in high rank and it just utterly demolished things like Stygian, Los/Ian, Mohran.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting a long shot GL as well as an armor set with Artillery skills so I can spam Wyvern Fire.

It can be kinda hard to see if you're firing right on top of the monster though.

OK, so there is an indication when a shot hits the monster, I was just being unobservant. Or maybe I should switch the blood effects setting to see it better.

You may already know this but just in case, the Elder Babel Spear is one of the weapons that needs the Awaken skill to deal its elemental damage, as indicated by thenumber being grayed out.

I swear, lately almost every time I fight a monster for the first time in a new rank I get the rare drop. Deviljho Gem, Akantor Gem, Rathian Mantle, Daora Gem, Earth Dragongem, Teostra Gem, Brach Gem... what do I even do with all this. Shit, I got 3 Akantor Gems and 3 Teostra Gems, one for each time I've fought them. The desire sensor is real.

This is always the same shitty quests : bring back raw meat, kill rhenoplos or kill banhambras. That's it? No monster hunting quests?

Finished up my Hermitaur armor Z for my gunner. With a halfway-decent charm, I was able to get:

Pierce Up
Recoil +1
Guts
Evade Distance
Attack Up (S)

With no negative skills (since Loading -10 doesn't do anything).
The thing has decent resistances too.

Very very happy.

[J0dy77]

Progressing pretty nicely so far on the early game. I've started to really enjoy the long sword. Are there any early game sets or long swords I should be looking to craft?

I'm currently running the water sword (curvicia or something) and started building the Kecha set with plus water on it. Am I correct in assuming that the +water boosts the water damage that is on the sword?

If anyone has some good guides for the different weapons and what to craft I'd love to see something like that.

Also, where should I be focusing effort on quests? Should I do the Gathering Hall or the girl outside?

 

[tuffy]

I figured out that if I take my Hermitaur Z set and swap the arms for a Torso Up piece (like the Black Belt Guards), the waist for my Brachydios Coat X and use my 2 slot Evade Dist +6 charm, I can have:

• Pierce Up
• Recoil Down +1
• Challenger +2
• Evade Extender

without even using any weapon slots. I'll just need to crank out some arena coins for the arm piece.

I love the long sword! For early game armor sets, I used the Velociprey set for the entirety of Low Rank, and it worked great. Gives you a good attack boost.
For weapons, once you start fighting Rathian/Rathalos, you can make a good one called "Wyvern Blade 'Fall'". It's a great fire weapon with decent base damage that has a solid upgrade path.
The water one is also great, but its base isn't the highest. That's okay, though. As long as you're using it on a monster that's weak to water, you'll be fine. In regards to your question, if you have a Water Atk armor skill, then yes, you'll do a little more damage with water attacks. Same with other elements.

Some long sword tips off the top of my head:
-Don't forget to Fade Slash. That's when you hit X+A at the same time. It's great for repositioning. If you have an opening after fade slash, you can press R and do a golf swing that does a lot of damage.
-Your spirit attacks ignore deflection, so they're great against rock-hard monsters like Basarios and Gravios.
-Your X attack (the over the head one) is a great and terrible attack. It's great because it's HUGE and does decent damage. It's terrible because it's a slow attack that leaves you vulnerable. Don't spam it.

For quests, I'd honestly focus on Caravan quests (the quest lady that calls you Doodle in the offline story) as long as you can. You can go online and play sometimes, but there are big BIG perks to playing offline, such as unlocking important items.

I'm searching for a quick, good looking gunner armor with good skill (basically recoil). I had Diablos Z in mind, but farming 2 Hardhorns would be a pain the ass. Then I see your post and very happy as I didn't know Hermitaur Z have such decent skills, nice!

All it really took was a decent charm. I have an Evade Distance +6 2-slot charm (that came from just a Timeworn charm, so easy-ish to grind for), and the rest were all decorations. Had to fight flippin Purple Gypceros 6 times to get his Wings for the 4 Evade Distance decorations. He did not like dropping them.

Seems tuffy has the same charm as well! It's a good'n.
