Huzzah! I didn't want to bug anybody to get my drive so I did it myself. Didn't go too bad except for the 3 cart rides I took. 2 from Tiger Zam (fuck that guy) and 1 to Brach which was my own fault for not bringing more mopeshrooms to keep my stamina up.

 

[Highwind]

Edit: nvm.

 

[Enigmatic Rainbow]

I really wish the "Alloy Stomach" skill was available on more armors, or able to be gemmed in.

Such an awesome fun skill to have.

 

[Faiz]

Just finished Dalamadur for the first time. Really not crazy about that fight. I know people say you should avoid getting hit easily because his windups are so long but I still had issues. Getting meteor spammed in supposedly safe fighting locations, climbing up out of the ravine to a super breath in my face, super breath through his own body on the small platform which there was no way to see coming... Etc. I'm sure after. Few more runs it would get smoother but no thanks.

In the end it was 1 cart and too damn many potions before he fell two hits after the 10 minute warning. Nothing I want from him NOW, and I hope it stays that way.

In the Frozen Seaway, where can I find Spearhead Tunas?

If you use blademaster weapons then you'll probably want to build the chest piece for that rebellion up mixed set which gives you Sharp+1, AuL, Razor Sharp and Speed sharpening

Area2 around the bottom left corner.

Area2 around the bottom left corner.

Thanks.

EDIT: Do I need any special stuff to catch Spearhead tunas?

 

[Beats]

Thanks.

EDIT: Do I need any special stuff to catch Spearhead tunas?

I don't think so. I just used the default bait.

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I don't think so. I just used the default bait.

Then I am so unlucky. During the Speartuna Fishing caravan quest, I must of spent 30 min simply fishing, and I didn't catch as single speartuna. Ho hum.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I wish I never took that break, the skill gap is so wide now that I have yet to finish the Damaladur quest for myself and when I do finish it if people don't keep fainting they just leave and don't assist me in return. Some guy was wearing Rhenoplos armour and fainted THREE times either this is a troll or people are legit that bad at the game.

You can use Worms and Mega Fly Fish to help out.

I don't think i've seen anybody wearing Rheno armor in this game so far.

How do I reliably get a quest with Yian Kut Ku? He occasionally shows up in expeditions but I don't have any other quests with him. Trying to get to blast weapons, but they are upgraded from kut ku weapons.

If you keep doing expeditions, you'll eventually unlock a guild quest that has him in it. That's the only real way to fight him whenever you want. Just about every monster that you fight in Expedition has a chance to drop a Kut Ku, Basarios, or Velocidrome guild quest.

Have to keep doing expeditions. Same for stuff like Yian Garuga, the Basarios variants, some other stuff I can't recall. https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/wiki/guild_quest_monsters This list will tell you when you should enter the Everwood for a chance to get whatever GQ you want. Kut Ku is pretty common. You'll be drowning in Velocidrome and Kut-Ku quests.

Take Goldenfish bait, throw it in and then take it straight out until you see a Speartuna spawn. Fish it and repeat.

 

[Pierate]

That feeling when you find a competent group doing a quest you want to do and you disconnect mid hunt :/ Thanks game.

Well I've had 3 groups triple cart quests today... I have yet to die. So far 1 quest completed today......

 

[Jeff Vader]

welp I gotta do a lot of farming soon to make another mix set. I need parts from Gravios, fragments from expeditions and more fire claws from Teostra. Yay.

Made a status SnS set using Chameleos set + Grand Hyuga Legs and Status+4/Expert+11 Charm I found the other day:

Critical Eye+2
Status Atk+2
Windproof (Hi)
Sharpness+1
Earplugs
Status Crit

Not really the biggest fan of the look, but whatever lol. I think it's just the helm that bothers me. Also, I can get Crit Eye+3 if I drop Windproof to (Lo), but I'm not sure if the 5% increase is worth it. What monsters would need Windproof (Hi)?

I want that charm for my status LS set D:

No HG earplugs tho?

Oh yeah I guess that would be more useful. I can drop Windproof to Lo and just get HG Earplugs.

Do different weapons have different mounting power, or does place and time of hitting the only factors that matter?

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Here is a silly question that I guess doesn't matter so much in the long run.

Say you have 1 point of purple sharpness, so your next attack no matter what is gonna drop you to white. Does that attack count as a purple sharpness attack or a white sharpness attack?

Do different weapons have different mounting power, or does place and time of hitting the only factors that matter?

I think like everything else the only thing that matters is how much of a direct hit the blow has and whether or not you have any armor skills that modify mounting. I think having more damage might increase mounting but I'm not sure. I do know however that my dual blades "dash off a ledge" attack seems to guarantee mounting but that's because it hit likes 50 times.

But other than that it seems like everyone weapon is 2 jump attacks for the first mount, beyond that I don't know.

 

[Faiz]

I kinda thought once I hit G1 the heavy armor sphere drought would end. But nope :/. 5 gathering runs at A. Steppes and only 1 to show for my troubles.

*sigh* I'd kinda forgotten about that being a Dalamadur item. Balls.

I know you're G1 but if you can find rooms doing runs at the volcano or mountain you'll get those spheres easily.

You posting this reminded me I have all the mats to make the Chameleos set, so I turned on my game to do so and see what I could do with the skills.


...Then I remembered I used my only large elder dragon gem to make the Chameleos bow.

Oh well, something to do when I come back to the game after Bloodborne.

 

[Leezard]

I played a few hunts after taking a break for a couple of days.

I learned I should stay away from lvl 140 GQ when I'm tired.

Lol yeahhh, trying to do things like that while tired / unfocused is either going to wake you up hard, or rage you into total exhaustion.

 

[PrankT]

Speaking of 140 guild quests, which 140 quests do people find the easiest and most difficult? Double rajang is pretty bad since they don't leave with dung bombs. Apex deviljo is rough. Sneaky difficult is double apex seregios with those large quick swoops. Most annoying is kirin with the constant bouncing and small hit box.

Easiest I've found is shagaru magala. He's great for farming divine spheres. Easiest apex is black diablos, easiest apex with great rewards is velocidrome and rajang.

ya pretty much my thoughts as well.

Although I think apex zinogre is easier than apex diablos.

 

[Enigmatic Rainbow]

I find 140 Yian Garuga to be the hardest.

. Easiest apex is black diablos, easiest apex with great rewards is velocidrome and rajang.

This is the one I see posted the most online, and yeah it's definitely the easiest to me concerning Apex monsters.

 

[Prototype]

Black Diablos is really easy at 140. So is Jho.


But I attribute most of this to the fact that I've been hinting them for years

Since I can't make Grand Mizuha arms at the moment, I went with this:

Grand Mizuha everything except arms, Grand Adamance Braces, Creator Talisman (+5 Guard Up, +9 Expert, 3 slots for a total of +14 Expert)

Critical Eye+3
HG Earplugs

Windproof (Lo)

Do I have to fight D. Mohran twice in a row for the Caravan Quests? I just beat him and it looks like I have to do it again for "Shipping Out". Any advice for a longsword player? I beat him but I had no idea what I was supposed to do so I mostly just stabbed his hand, then got on his back and hit the...I think horn?

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I wanted an ukanlos gem so I went online.

I joined a farm room with 3 dudes and proudly said OKAY GEM TIME

They all laughed at me.

Kill Ukanlos

Get gem

WHOSE LAUGHING NOW?

I would kill triple Rajang for that charm alone, completing my Empress X set.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Oh man...Blossomayhem or Azureling Sunsear...I like the rapidfire capabilites of the Azureling line way better. But Blossomayhem just looks infinitely cooler (Don't much care for how the los line gun looks with long barrel or silencer). A gold and silver m249? Badass. I mean, I guess I could take off the limiter on the blossomayhem.

 

[tuffy]

Oh man...Blossomayhem or Azureling Sunsear...

Clearly the solution is to forge both.

I've always enjoyed how the Rathalos line eventually rapid-fires 4 normal lv. 2 shots instead of the usual 3. Bump that up to 5 with Bonus Shot and it can turn into a stream of 35 bullets before reloading. It may not be easy to find a safe window to fire that many shots at once per volley, but it sure is fun.

Finally reached G-rank today, feels good

 

[shadow2810]

Anyone wants to do some G-rank hunts?

Where is my Caravaneer's Challenge? I've done all 1-9star village quests, gold check, all urgent, with only the option powderstone quest in 8star undone. What am I missing?

Nevermind, I just didn't realize what all of the parts of the ship do. Weird that they have you fight him twice in a row. Beat him twice then fought Kirin who was easy but really annoying.

Now I don't have a new quest though. Do I have to go to a different town or something?

Edit: looks like I just had to select Dundorma on the map. Strange since they usually automatically take you to the new town.

Woo, finally HR caravan quests!

I'm G2 lol. It's why I'm confused

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I'm G2 lol. It's why I'm confused

Lol wtf? And you did literally every single quest in 6star and all the urgents?

 

[Unicorn]

Lol wtf? And you did literally every single quest in 6star and all the urgents?

Yes. Gold checks

 

[Wanderer5]

Well, didn't take long for that berserker tetsucbra hunt to fail lol. Definitely quite something.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Yes. Gold checks

Even on 6*? You sure it's not a silver check? Because all that's required for caravaneers challenge as far as I know (since this is how I got it) is full clear 6* and all the urgents.
