I was grinding for claws and killed maybe 15 Mizu's. Got 3 Plates lol.
Whatcha using them for?
I've gotten 1, killed a bunch of them, I'd say 20s+. The mizu LS needs one plate for upgrade.
It's desire sensor, you can't escape it.
My comment is half serious because it's determined by RNG. All you could do is improve the odds by breaking its, cutting tails, and things like that, praying that it gives you the plate word. If you're in no rush of upgrading Mizutsune weapon, you could always try to farm its HR version since it'll have better chance at giving a plate, plus you're gonna farm for its gem anyway.

I'm disappointed they didn't bring back the MH3 Volcano theme. That track was hard as fuck

I've gotten one so far in the 6 times I've fought it. You'll want to break the head and wound the tail to increase your chances. Capturing and carving the tail won't give you a plate.

I can't say I'm using it for something specific, but upon looking through my inventory I realized after having 20+ of every other material, I don't have a single Plate. It's kind of bugging me.
Oh the High Rank version drops Plates too?

Would you mind farming some monsters I need?
Yes, High Rank monster drops their respective low rank rare material.

You're right, just checked Kiranico.
Sweet! In that case I'm going to need to rank up.
I can't tell. are you in the lobby already? don't really care as long as I get that prowler shit done

Is there no low rank Brachydios?
Village 6* is low rank, surely. Pretty sure there's some 3* low rank hub quests with him too.

Ayyy one of my Palico's stole a Mizutsune Plate!
Speaking of cats, does anyone know when playing as a Prowler if you get the same/less quest rewards?

Nah, the true anticlimactic MH final boss is Zingore. I have no clue what they were thinking in P3rd. Glavenus is a step up from that and it's fun to fight unlike things like Lao and Ceadeus.
Shagaru remains the best final village boss.

Mfw I finally get the Regios set and demolish fools with CritDraw:
I was expecting a lot of things after the Glavenus fight... But I did not expect that.

Completely agree, need more monsters that feel like final bosses.

Hub 2 and Village 4.
I'm pretty sure you are ahead of me.
I have been doing a lot of gathering quests and I'm trying not to check the key quests list, I'm just having fun and doing whatever I want, lol.

What's the farm equivalent, how do I mass duplicate ingredients?

I was just going to ask about that.
My main felyne just hit level 20 and I noticed that its level is now being displayed in orange. That's a level cap right?
Is there a way to unlock the level cap in the village?
just following what someone said in this thread. they said no, all Palico level caps are unlocked from the hub quests
Talk to the trader palico in the palico ranch. You can only do herbs at first, but eithe doing palico quests or reaching hr 4 and subsequently hr 5 unlocks the other services

Once you talk to him, you can do the trading from your house palico. You can also unlock the other trade things through a series of village quests, but they are (almost?) all palico only ones.

Yeah, the Magala storyline is the best one yet, and the monster itself (both versions) is memorable.
Ceadeus may be the next best one. The story with it was a little bit lame, but that fight was SO GOOD.
Hub 2 and Village 4.
I'm pretty sure you are ahead of me.

Ah, well I've only just got my HR1 Urgent but I've done nothing other than keys. I'm at 5* Village but I've 100% 1*-4* so I guess we're similar in progress. I always feel like I play MonHun much slower than just about anyone though. I agree just playing and having fun. With 4U I blazed through the keys and then had masses of basic quests to finish to unlock the final mission. I've only done the Hub keys because I joined a room with randoms but I want to try and finish as many other quests before completing my Urgent just to have relaxing fun playing with others.
So Adept allows you to basically evade into AoE attacks to get a free counter? I've tested it with Khezu's lightning body attack and Urugaan's sleep gas attack so I'm guessing it works with things like Volvidon's stink gas and Malfestio's confuse gas as well? It seems kind of OP since it requires no skill or timing. Just roll into the AoE and get a counter...
I see I'm not the only one tackling quests a bit slowly. Though I'm still HR1 on the hub side, I've finally hit the Village 6* last night and things have been going smoothly. Just need Gore to drop some Feelers so I can forge his HBG, then work my way up to Shagaru so I can upgrade Mizutsune's HBG. I always feel better about going online once my weapons and armor are sorted out.
Yeah, fighting something that spends a third of the fight swimming away from you and the second two thirds barely attacking is a lot of fun.
Tigrex was never a final boss. The final boss of MHF2 (the game Tigrex was introduced in) was Shen Gaoren.

I kinda enjoyed it because of it. It feels very different to regular punching monsters non stop. It has a different pacing and feels like a big event. The final stage is huge, vertically. Those underwater ruins, and Ceadeus itself are super unique.
I normally hate slow/giant monsters like Jhen and Lao, but Ceadeus fight is one I remember dearly.

the fuck
I'm gonna focus on Hub quest starting tonight then.
Found the guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/4ttgsq/how_to_unlock_palicoprowler_level_caps/
That music though...
See, I'd be perfectly fine completing Village before heading online but then people would probably complain that I'm overpowered.

Yeah the Hub quests can go too fast in a team of 4 (be it hunters or cats) but village first just feels good.
At least in this case the Village is mostly limited to low rank so it's hard to get too far ahead of the curve - unlike what I've unintentionally done in the past.
Just collect the appropriate amount of items and drop them off with the cat/housekeeper inside your house.
You take the items to the trader at the palico ranch.

Do people really complain about this?
yeah I take my time, but I also try not to ruin it for everyone else. The nice thing about this one is I can just go cat mode as an easy way to gimp myself. I have a good idea for a joke set too.
But right now I'm leisurely finishing off village and will progress when I damn well feel like it. These games don't come often so why rush it?
Well I can understand that people don't want to be carried. I had people complain when I went back to grind LR materials in Tri (and by that point I had no lower rank level weapons).
People also moaned about it on GameFAQs
but that was GameFAQs so...
