Is there a chart for attack/status buff and what stacks?
Say does Attack up buff from food stack with mega demondrug?

They stack. Mega demondrugs are useless, just eat might seeds.

I hope Capcom boots some of those 1st/2nd gen trash monsters like Dromes for superior Jaggis.
They are animated like shit, and still act like their old ass jank from 1st gen. They look especially awful compared to better animated monsters from 3rd gen and up.

Finally started getting more into the game and getting better with the controls and fighting big monsters. Fought the Tetsucabra and he took me to my last life, was so hard to get that Sub Quest where I gotta take out his fangs in front. End of the fight was really cool since he did his jump at the same time I went for mine and basically knocked him dead right in the sky. Loving this game alot, though I should probably not do as many of the gathering and collection stuff. Seems like there is alot and I ended up doing all of them in both 1 and 2 star quests in the village.
Gathering can be a drag but I also love seeing that little checkmark indicating that I completed an entire rank...so yeah. I do them all too.

Same. I try to do all the required quests to open the next rank first, then I take my time cleaning up the leftovers. At least with a Prowler it's pretty easy to do the gathering quests while watching TV. It's actually kind of relaxing.
Ha! This is exactly what Ive been doing.

How do you get Kut Ku ears? I've broken his stupid head in multiple fights but no ears. Stupid desire sensor!
can't get it from body carves or captures, only ear breaking and shiny drops.
is there a quest with a subquest to break ears? That'd be the first thing I try.

Yup. They plain stink. I miss Qurupeko as well and breaking it's stupid big bill. I'm kind of wanting to go back to MH3U but then I stop myself when I remember the underwater fights.

Deviljho talon.
I don't know how you do it. I'm going back and finishing the rest of the village quests right now to get the hayabusa feather and the gathering/fishing quests are boring the pants off of me.
Prowler + podcasts.

6* online, so HR6.
After playing to village 4 and guild 3 solely with the hunting horn I finally decided to try aerial switch axe and I see why Gaijin Hunter was so excited about it. It's insanely fun. SA was my weapon in 4U and I was (and still am, honestly) disappointed that the new charge hunting art basically negates the need to ever use axe mode. I don't really consider playing with it this way to even be the same weapon that I loved so much in 4U to be honest. It's very different, but very fun in its own right. Definitely going to use it more for solo hunts but I think I will stick with the horn online.
It's so strange. This game feels so different, which I didn't expect at all.
I had more trouble with Tetsucabra in Generations than I ever had with him in 4U, but on the other hand I just completely owned Mr giant enemy crab on my first unprepared encounter with him in some gathering quest, even with a hunting horn which I haven't used in for-freaking-ever and no hunting art because I'm a stupid poopyhead that forgot to add one back in after switching weapons. I loathed fighting him in 4U, but here I am, smacking him around like a little bitch. Two quests later, I get my ass handed back to me by freaking Gypceros of all things. Gypceros! What is happening here, help, nothing makes sense anymore!!!111
Still trying to grok Adept style with SnS though. I just seem to run off in a random direction after a successful dodge, and the boosted attack feels rather dangerous with the changed attack timings. I'll get used to it eventually, and it's been really fun with the Hammer, but I think I'll stick with Aerial style. The extended reach, the free monster rides, the ability to just dodge into most attacks with at worst some minor scratch damage. So good.
That 3* fishing quest though. Sitting in area three in the Jungle, hoping for that last farking brocade fish to finally spawn. Why did they only give you two golden fish baits, dammit. Spent like fifteen minutes emptying that tiny pool of all life. Gah.

reload save?
Truth. I can understand grinding to get gear, but grinding to fight the toughest monsters in the game? Nope. Wasted dev time in my opinion because they just created content that only 1% of the player base will see.
For some reason this reminded me of the A-Team introduction: "If you're in trouble... If none else can help... And if you can find them..."
Yeah, I find them far more tedious to fight than Great Jaggi/Bhaggi etc. They are so thin and quick than lining up hits with some weapons is annoying when they are facing you, even if they offer no real threat. My first MH was Tri, and I found Great Jaggi a much better first large creature as it just looked physically more imposing and lethal too.
Why not just take your own goldenfish bait? Once I saw what was in the supply box, I quit the quest, bought some from the trader and went in with five, after eating for felyne fisher to make them bite more quickly. Actually being able to buy it makes it much easier- in previous games I remember farming snakebee larvae to make bait because of the bloody goldenfish quests!It's so strange. This game feels so different, which I didn't expect at all.

Same goes for egg/Boulder delivery quests- I don't even start them without a full set of dash juice, armour tooled for transporting and eating for felyne lander to avoid dropping them if I run over a bump in the ground. I kinda look at it that the proficiency required for those quests is in the prep, rather than enduring the tedium of trying to do them without any.
So I managed to craft and upgrade a full set of Rhopessa armor after enough of those bugs showed up in my trading carts. I also got a +8 stun talisman with a slot available in it, so I was able to use the empty slots on the armor and my weapon to get +15 Expert and +15 Stun, giving me +20% affinity and immunity to stun. The stamina regen skill that comes with the armor set is really useful, stamina regens so fast that it might as well just be infinite.
After I had all that together I took on the *6 "kill all the flagship monsters" mission. I feel like I cheated, it was really easy. It was also really funny watching these big intimidating monsters get killed by a woman in a silly butterfly dress.

Btw....there isnt a mounted monster message like in 4?
Game needs a report function not just a block list
Beat the Fated Four Village Quest. 25 mins, though once you remove the despawn times it's more like 22. Gammoth is actually really... really boring. And annoying. And I will never fight him again without Aerial style where I can just spam mounts while avoiding his numerous Tremor skills.
Other three new Flagships are a blast.
Difficulty
Glavenus>Astalos>Mizutsune=Gammoth
Glavenus is really just most difficult because I've not fought him much, but he also has the most damage output from normal attacks it seems. He's like Jho with those quick forward snapping bites and stepping on you in general. They add up fast.
Astalos is fast and nimble but his hitboxes seem really forgiving and his biggest moves are super telegraphed.
Mizutsune is just easy in general, makes me think of Royal Ludroth and/or an easier Lagiacrus.
Gammoth is really easy to abuse mounting on. Without it I guess he goes above Mizutsune on difficulty.
Fun
Mizutsune>Astalos=/>Glavenus>>>>>Gammoth
Royal Ludroth was my favorite thing to fight in Tri. I fought them like 80+ times in the Moga Woods just because. Mizutsune is like a slightly tougher R. Ludroth. I love 'em.
Astalos is a pretty fun fight because you have like a mini game in trying to take out his charged points. Glavenus is fun in general, it's like a Jho that doesn't want to eat you all the time. Also he has the same mini game aspect with the neck. Can't decide which I like more.
Gammoth sucks because he's just a big dumb bullet (er, Hammer?) sponge. Easy to abuse but annoying to fight.
Yeah, the standard is the blindingly obvious 'I mounted it!' but it's editable like the others (and like MH4).
I thought I was going to be the only horn user I ever saw in this game when I started playing it. I've run into at least 5 other horns in the last 2 days. Somehow I've never overlapped song lists with any of them too, so having 4-6 buffs up on the entire team at the same time has been pretty neat.

Is there a list somewhere of all the weapons (Switch Axe specifically) that I can buy from the store or forge from scratch? I hate upgrading a weapon then getting to a new village rank and find out I could just buy it, such a waste of materials! Haha.
Can you really call it a waste when upgrading requires less materials than creating one when advancing to a different stage?
Also, just download Ping's Dex from the OP.
This list will at least tell you the upgrade path, not exactly what you're looking for, but probably a bit helpful.
