I've been hearing points are pretty plentiful in this game while zenny is not so much. I've thought about switching to paying for pre hunt meals with points. Is anyone doing that?
I do. I burn a lot of money by upgrading gear and there isn't an equivalent for points. Not even farming dragon toadstools. I managed to end up with 8 zenny once and I'm constantly sub 1000zenny
I have way more zenny than points. I'm currently sitting on over 200k zenny and about 100k points.
I've been doing that the whole game. Though after doing a ton of Village quests I had a small fortune in zenny by the time I hit the credits. So money isn't as scarce as I'd feared and I've had no trouble topping off my physical shots on a regular basis.
I ran out of money last night but I had just finished buying a powercharm/armorcharm, buying thousands of pierce 2/3 and normal 2/3, making a ton of cat gear and upgrading a few weapons. I sold a bunch of monster bone M/L to stay in the black but I'm concerned about selling 'real' monster parts. The new upgrade system (use X amount of any parts of a monster type) combined with being able to trade for cat gear scraps makes me hesitate to sell extra parts.
edit: I compulsively collect wyvern tears, dragon treasures etc which I think is why I have an excess of points. I spend them willy nilly on the Meownster Hunters, cat training, and the trader and never make a dent. Maybe now that I have 3 carts and some higher tier Meownster locations I'll start running out.

I've been having the opposite problem. I get tons of money CRAZY fast while I feel my points are accumulating slowly. Granted, I have like 70,000 (or maybe 700,000), but I don't really see it go up much. How do you even get points?

Yeah, the game doesn't give you enough money.

So, who has your favorite musical theme?
There's a bath towel set.
I want it just for the hilarity of fighting monsters in a bath towel.
Pokke Village is the bestest.

Also, which monster has the best fighting theme?
The Fated Four soundtracks are soooooooo good, I love them all. But if I had to pick one it would probably be Tamamizunes https://youtu.be/Xxa0XFryibg
Everything about him is perfect anyway. Elegant design, swift gameplay, mainly resides in Misty Peaks.

I love this theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrffY2gmkNQ
When I hear it I think of Gypceros, but it's the boss theme for some of the Swamp monsters.

Also, does anyone have a list of the quests that unlock deviants?
By the way, Zinogre's and Deviljho's theme have always impacted me, especially the later. He has gotten easier to kill with these latest versions, but back in Tri his theme went perfect since he was alongside Alatreon as the hardest monster, so the music was fitting for an unkillable ravenous dinosaur.

Oh wow. I saw someone else say something like this, but I didn't realize what they meant. That's awesome.
Great Maccao. Discussion over.

I was a staunch hammer user in 4U. I liked the strategic feel. I liked the KOs. But quick, spazzy monsters like Kut-Ku were the bane of my existence.
So when the first Kut-Ku hunt came up in Generations, I gave Sword and Shield a go. Dang, it's really good now. Exhaust Oil gives me the KOs I crave and the arts are really solid. I really like just laying a monster out on its ass with a solid Shoryugeki.
I don't know if it'll replace my hammer full time, but I'll definitely be pulling it out for the smaller monsters.

So I pre-ordered the 3DS XL Monster Hunter Bundle, and Nintendo UK won't offer me the free HOME theme because I didn't order it 'via the eShop'. I bought it from the Nintendo online store and downloaded the 'pre-installed' game from the eShop as soon as I transferred my NNID.
What a bunch of jerks. Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest..

Area fight themes
Misty Peak Battle
Deserted Island Battle
Monster specific theme
Brachydios (bonus jazzy remix)
Zinogre and Deviljho are solid runner ups, man Gen 3 of MH had some tunes.
Man I need to battle the new chaps from this one, they've got some good themes going on it seems

So I played last night with some headphones on, and wow the music in this game is really fantastic. Not even sure which theme is my favorite yet, but it's just really great.
Also, finally upgraded my Kinsect on my Hidden Scythe to the speed variant, and it kicks ass. It's so nice to be able to be able to shoot the kinsect at medium distances and be almost certain it's going to hit where you want it to. Really opens up maneuverability options.
Did a ratio of 3 gathering/small monsters to 1 hunting quest last night, still have way more gathering quests to do. I cannot wait to be done with them though. I wouldn't even bother except I still haven't found a list of quest unlocks, so I still have to do them all. At least Prowlers make it way faster (particularly the egg carry quests).
I asked a few pages ago, but didn't get an answer: is there a way to mass produce well done steaks like in 4U?

Anyone down for some HR3 hunts in about 20-30 minutes? Planning on making a weapon from each of the Fated Four and Gore, and then going to HR4.

35 hours for me. It hasn't even felt like I've been playing it that long... Game's got it's fangs in me.

I'm sitting on and unhealthy 51 hours. I'm in too deep.
54 hours.
If you want Mega Dash Juice easily couldn't you just give all that you have to your friend, exit without saving so you don't lose it, have him give you his, he exits without saving, etc. etc.? It's rare 3.
Oh, I'm at 42h here, but you seem much further ahead than me. Where are you up to in Village/Hub?
Wait, you can give items? How? How did I not know about this?
TheGoreMagala

It has to be lower than rare 4, but yes. You click on an item, press give, and choose somebody.
His idea sounds perfect and flawless, though time consuming. However, only one friend would be able to give and quit at a time. Once finished, the one with more reciprocates.
Edit: Neveemind, just save when they're given to you and give them back once they return, thus leaving and not saving yourself.
Edit 2: Theoretically you can do that with any consumable rare 3 or lower.
It's one of the options when you select an item in your inventory. Nice to know if someone forgot hot drinks or max potions, or if you want to carry some extra ammo for a gunner in your party for those long multi-monster quests.

The amount of times I've had to give out hot and cold drinks to my local mp buddies, I just always pack them with me, these days space is much less of an issue.
Makes me feel like a god damn hero, of thirst quenching beverages.

Can the deviants you unlock in low rank be slaughtered in low rank?
Yup, they'll eventually get upgraded to HR later
Yes, but be warned that some of them will not be easy even in their low rank version.

Someone start making a lobby please, I'm walking home.
Now I'm also interested in taking down all the possible LR deviants, though I'm still missing Azurous and Hernitaur.

Has anyone here obtained a Mizutsune Plate yet? I've picked up every shiny drop, carved tail and body, captured it twice, and prayed yet have still not gotten one within the 10 times I just fought it.
