Two brute tigrex runs, three mantles.
Well game I was looking for just a single one but it's cool thanks ^^ now I'm afraid that desire sensor will balance my karma someday. ( ._.)
I should stop making a lot of sets and focus on upgrading them, I've got terrible defense on everything...

The last DaRen I did I got 4 earth dragonsphires
the game is acknowledging how awful that fight is
Heh, I'm in the middle of finishing 2 of the 3 weapons I wanted with Dahren parts. I just do a few of those G rank event quest hunts every now and then when I feel like zoning out for an hour but it's still so annoying. The rares (dragonsphires) aren't even the problem, I just needed something like 12 allbraces, and you only get 1-2 of those per run.
When I needed G rank Dah'ren parts I just did the 10 star Caravan quest. His health is so low I'd often finish him off before using the Dragonator at all. He rides alongside the ship often so it's pretty easy to get both his arms broken before the final showdown.

Thanks for answering the question I was about to ask. Does he start right up next to the ship during the final showdown like in the event quest?
Definitely. Though he starts right outside Dragonator range, I can usually drive him back and kill him with a steady barrage of crouched pierce lv. 3 shot.

...and that answers my question. you just HBG? Seems like the easiest way to do it.
He's a perfect HBG target because most of the time he's just sitting around so maneuverability isn't important. I just go into crouch-fire, unload all my shots, then roll back into crouch-fire to unload some more. The Gravios Gigacannon is ideal. I'll stick with pierce lv. 2 in the first phase because the Bird Wyvern Fangs to combine for more can be bought in bulk from the Wycoon. I've never needed pierce lv. 3 combines for the second phase so long as I concentrate on shooting him down his mouth where he's especially weak.

I gotta get back to the game and get my last gigacannon upgrade. need a b. grav mantle or whatever.
O think I've fallen in love with Excello Z, all over again.
It has nearly everything I want in a GS set. And I can add crit draw and focus. It's almost like how the Lagiacrus X set is so good right out of the box, except - this has HG ears. Which is huge for me.
I've mostly been running a personal mix that has most of what then Excello Z set has, but losing quick sheathe for atk m and speed eating +2 is really nice. Speed eating in particular is so so good. I always eat seeds and come to most hunts fully loaded, and it feels so good to be able to pull an item at a moments notice. Also keys you get back to the fight sooner.

I wanted to do that but I did it once as an urgent quest and it has yet to come back as a regular 10 star quest. I'll try refreshing a couple of times.

Pretty sure that ones always an urgent in the same way that the masters test and bad hair rajang are as well.
@Zet: that's one of the things I like about the Jho armors, and I always forget it's there until I eat something and them I'm like oh yeah, that's rad!
Yep, that's it. Thanks Tuffy.

SO CLOSE!!! I started killing Ultra G-Rank Shagaru Magalas (level 136 and 137) and found that they drop Graven charms like crazy. I got an Edge Lore ooo talisman from the second one. If only it were an Edgemaster talisman! I wonder how long it would take to get that talisman.

I still want Edgemaster. I found an amazing setup on a Youtube video using the Edgemaster talisman. I think Honed Blade is better for most of the weapons I'm planning to use.edge lore's way better for certain weapons. Not the biggest loss

Do Ultra G-Rank GQ monsters have more health than Super G-Rank GQ monsters?

He drops Bolt for champion, Dragonseal for venerable/beshackled.
I always use this doc as it's easy to figure out what drops what and at which levels: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...IZuX0b-_tyy7_TIe8Wv8jkfZE/edit#gid=1520165799
I've got him at 140, and I'm seeing nothing but Bolt. I don't even pick up any relics unless they are beshackled. Weird.

new famitsu has a shitton of monhun stuff. like 10 pages across multiple games.
Highlights:
new green wyvern uses electricity, it's apparently super fast and aggressive.
Lagiacrus is back without underwater combat. Fuck the naysayers and all that.
Also the blue grab with a horn.
Llama pets confirmed
All 4 styles detailed. 'Bout time tbh. Bushido style sounds slick though possibly OP
More area details as well. I'm really excited for the variety, since I feel 4 is a bit lacking in this regard. Oh yeah, here's the ludroth. and Agnaktors.
Big surprise in the next issue, too. No idea what that might be.
Will edit as I get to the rest of it. GH already has a video up.

Yeah, I sure hope so. I really enjoyed those in 3U.
I think he also mentioned that Ludroth - and presumably Royal Ludroth - are also coming back along with the Deserted Island. The Agnaktors, Lagiacrus and Royal Ludroth all have a similar body type, so if the developers updated them to work with elevation it makes sense to bring them all back.

This is unexpected.
Well, I beat my first lvl. 140 Shagaru Magala! Took almost 40 minutes, though. Seriously, do Ultra G-Rank monsters have higher defense than normal and Super G-Rank ones? How can I kill it more quickly?
NormalFish

they have like 300% standard health. So... they're pretty beefy.

Alternatively, here's a 6 minute level 140 Shagaru run. It shows off how handy the Seregios HBG can be.

For solos both the seregios guns seem pretty nice. I gotta make a set for slicing S LBG
Slicing S can also be used in amusing ways. It's not just for tails anymore!

Can anybody translate the set/skills used here? This just might make me consider trying this myself.
Challenger +2, Attack Up (M), Evade Extender, Recoil Reduction +2, and Pierce Up. Looking into the pieces but I feel like you can come up with something.
The charm is Attack +14, Pierce +5. I'm kind of blind today...
NormalFish

I'd wager load up, ruthlessness, pierce up core and then whatever else they fit on with charms and such (evasion, AuX, etc.)
this makes more sense but I don't think it's normal up? looked like pierce shot but it's not easy to decipher. And I thought AuX and Challenger didn't stack?
NormalFish

and I just realized they actually show the armor at the end. Guess I'm not 100% either lol.
Okay, they're (with 100% certainty):
Recoil Reduction +2
Challenger +2
Attack Up Medium
Pierce Up
in order. Nothing else.

Hit me up if you wanna play
Definitely duder, do we have each other on friends? I don't even know how playing games with other 3DS folk works. I still thought we had to have friend codes up until the MH4U Demo came out.

These games function with a room system. You can make a room for online play, post the associated numerical code, and we can join it. There's also a built in friends system but it essentially just streamlines the room joining process a bit.

Well, welcome aboard ^^ it's a great game, ask GAF for any help.

Cool. So, I'm assuming the ammo used in the video was Pierce lvls 2 and then 1. What are the pieces of armor used? Well, I guess I can just put it into Athena's Armor Set Search, but I'm curious.
