Depends on the weapon, because some are just available to buy from the shop for zero materials. And just knowing I can buy or forge something from scratch can save me time because then I don't have to level up basic weapons again 2+ levels to get the next weapon.
Yeah, that's what I've been using on my phone, it's a little slow sometimes and doesn't have a big list of what will be for sale, I have to delve into each thing to see. Thanks though!
I was just hoping someone had compiled the list already. Oh well!
If you just want to know what'll be on sale then these are the ones.
Petrified Axe
Iron Axe
Bone Axe
Elite Switch Axe
Power Gasher

Oh, so nothing new will be added? That Power Gasher was the reason I was asking. Haha.
*shakes fist at store*
Know what ones can be forged from scratch too by chance? ;P

Thank you very much!
I just took a closer look and it seems that the list is missing a few like the Aksa Switch, Power Gasher, Bolt Axe, Rex Slasher and Ludroth Axe.
My advice is to find a weapon you like and plan for it. Seriously, download Ping's Dex on your computer. It's very useful.
So I've been taking two Gathering Palicos with Plunderang and Pilfer Boost since around 2* Village and they are insane! Here's a list of what they stole for me yesterday:
1x Rathalos Plate (on second hunt)
1x Astalos Plate (first hunt)
1x Mizutsune Plate (first hunt)
2x Glavenus Plate (first hunt)
1x Gore Plate (first hunt)
The Gore I just fought this morning. They're both level 20 (don't know if that has an effect) and I'm going to continue to bring them to every Village hunt as I haven't even needed to grind monsters with their steals + Meownster Hunter after every quest for basic mats.

I could just be very, very lucky with the Plates but even without those they constantly steal webbing/claws/low drop parts which makes farming less of a chore
Edit: I think Pilfer Boost unlocks as you level them? It's a 3 Memory Skill so I just equip that plus Stam Drain on them both.
I can just share them with you if you want to try them out, just make a room and I'll come on

Yeah, Big Boomerangs and Piercing Boomerang last 3 minutes, that's quite long.

So heavy armor sphere is drop only or can you buy at HR7?
Been getting them as drops in HR7 quests, unable to buy them yet as far as I've seen. Maybe at higher HR.
Velocidrome Head Chances:
Body Carve x1 2%
Low Wound Head x1 10%
Low Capture x1 5%
[Village★4] Hunt-a-thon: Velocidrome x2 50%
[Village★4] Hunt-a-thon: Velocidrome x1 25%
In the TEN times I have tried the quest, I have got only TWO Velocidrome Heads...both from a BODY CARVE (a 2% Chance)...
...fuck this game.
...I need 10 more...
Try wanting ALL the Dual Blades, so needing 7 Vprey Claws...TT_TT

I tried to google the cover art sets but see no result.
Anyone knows what specific weapons and armor sets in the opening CG/cover each hunter wear?
Thanks a lot.

Ok thanks!
Yeah I downloaded it just now. I had tried using the web version, but it was slow or all in Japanese, but when I saw your picture, I assumed it was from the application. Now that Im back at my PC I downloaded it, it seems very nice and clean and most importantly, FAST.
Thanks again for the help!
Hammer's Bherna, GS's Malfestio, LBG's Maccao.

So the weapons and the armors are from the same monsters.
Thank you!
Oh no, Hammer's just the Petrified Hammer, and LBG's the Maccao one. Not sure the GS.

I wasted 50 minutes trying to do the Brocadefish quest and only got two. I think I'll be using Palicos for gathering quests from now on.

Preach my friend.
Bulldrome was actually the first monster to cart me in this entry because I didn't expect its moveset to still be so one note, I was just trying to get some distance and take a swig of health restoration only to be rapidly mugged off by insta-charges, the embarrassment!
It's a shame about monster selection, as good as 4 ultimate was I realised that I still preferred 3U since 4U threw in too many sloppy early gen monsters and generations may be even worse on that front.
Like does anyone in the entire universe actually enjoy Cephadrome?
If theres none in the pond, leave the area and come back to spawn a new batch.
Fishing quests are the worst.
Goldenfish bait is for Goldenfish and Brocadefish
Check their enthusiasm, the icons should tell you right away. Get more cats to cycle them.

The female hunter is wearing basically the starter kit, I count that as a set
I think the material required for male sets should be from the same monsters. Malfestio set is so beautiful...

So I just made the Elite Switch Axe. Currently going through Village chapter 4 (got access to the volcano aka dragonite ore)
Is there anything better I should be shooting for around this level?

Any good switch axes and armor for a beginner? Still rocking the petrified and bherna set.
That thing upgrades into the Seregios axe which is honestly overpowered for low rank.
Other than that the Obsidian axe (upgraded from Petrified) had ridiculously high raw for when it was available. Dragon phial though.
Make Ceanataur when you can, but really early on anything is fine. This is the most popular beginner set atm.
You can, but the later hunts will just take longer than a fully kitted out hunter.
Gonna do some relaxed HR2 hunting for anyone to join.
I'm gonna get round to ticking all the boxes but if you wanna do a specific quest just go ahead. and I'll help. =)

Will also hand out some viable godcats if people want em, including Gaijin Hunter's cat PoogieP if they want.
Don't let it deter you, the Prowler is wonderful to play as.
That Godcat setup people are always looking into is a legit damage dealer that brings them up to Hunter levels.
And Palicos can be shared to reduce some of the setup required, effectively making it another weapon in itself. =)

Ah I see. Thank you.
Maybe I should just stick to a regular hunter!

Uhm, if you're just doing it for OCD/collection's sake, just wait until high rank when the drop rates get better...
I mean I like playing as a cat, hell I am right now. But even with a good boomerang setup their damage output isn't going to match a hunter on most monsters. And before you get a properly built cat, even an Arzuros is going to take a while. But they are godlike for small monster and gathering missions early on.
Their moveset is actually really neat though, there's more combos than you'd think. Pierce Boomerangs feel like some kind of combination of pierce bowgun shots and the Castlevania cross.
The best part about them is with just one monster kill you basically have the entire set and the weapon. It doesn't take many scraps to make anything.

Likely the Assisting forte cats. Does the cat have the purple type icon?
Edit: Forgot Support type was called Assisting now.
Assisting type palicos do that, and they have their base skill which acts like a free auto-detect for a few seconds.
Which reminds me that the overhauled canteen could use some improvement. I spend time paging through dishes looking for the Attack Up food, then need to page through sauces looking for one of the shot up bonuses, and I have to do it again every time. As with the armor sets and item sets, let me save a few favorite food combinations so I can get through that faster.
Oh man, if you can, I'd definately like to get in on the action.I could just be very, very lucky with the Plates but even without those they constantly steal webbing/claws/low drop parts which makes farming less of a chore

Are you using oils? Stamina oil is a huge help in stunning monsters and making it easier to focus on breaking parts.
No and I really need to start. I hear it's all the rage this time around.
I'm such a noob. I need a horn so I assumed it would break off.
