IIRC the Gunner version of the Lobster set has claws for arm guards (don't have the book with me).

Nice armor... Diablos/Rathalos mix, right? I'm not even close to putting together something like that.
BTW, what's this GMR event all about? The strategy guide says creating that sword requires: Chrome Voucher x5, Machalite Ore x5, Iron Ore x35, and Unknown Skull x1. Didn't Capcom do a similar thing with one of the JPN gaming magazines too?

I found a clearer explaination on killing Lao-Shan.
As for info on GMR events, since I can't post scane I will just post the descriptions:
Required Material for GMR.
Chrome Voucher (Event Quest item): 5
Machalite Ore: 5
Iron Ore: 35
Unknown Skull: 1
Attack Power + Sharpness
Attack: 816
Sharpness: (see image)
([---RED---][-O-][----Yellow----][-G-]--------)
This weapon cannot be upgraded.
Cost: 499z
This weapon is pretty great for people below HR13.

Doing a Diablos run right now. What are the odds of killing diablos 6 times and getting no blos fangs, then getting 3 fangs straight the last two times?
I don't want to make Siegmund anymore since I found out that Divine Slasher has some awesome skill. Going to need like 20 fangs to make it.
Edit: What are blos jaw for?

Looks great! I hope it has some new guns for me to try out

That does look great, battling 2 dragons at the same time should be fun.
After reaching HR13 and getting 4* missions, the only difference I see is that all the monsters had like twice the HP and hit twice as hard. I had trouble soloing Kut Ku..... but I manage to defeat it. Mach ores are a lot easier to mined, and I am starting to get dragonite ores, anyone know where I can get union ores? I know firestone can be gotten in volcano level, but I don't see any volcano missions in 4*.
After getting dragonite ore, I see the option to create Bone Katana, Yian Kut Ku Cannon, Grenade Launcher, Dual Tomahawks..... I can create all of them except for grenade launcher(need union ore), which should I go for? I am thinking I should get better guns, but I don't know which one to get.

Full Dragon armour, and Double dragon ultimas at rank 12. Not only that, but he a health bar the stretched almost halfway across the screen and was going on about how "pimp" he was. How he could handle the boss by himself and such.
When accused of cheating -because of the abnormal health bar- he had the gall to claim it was because of mega nutrients. Mega nutrients?! Yes, they do improve your health by 20 points, but your health caps at 150.
If you are going to cheat at least do it within reason. C'mon, Dragon armour requires you fight the final boss MULTIPLE times and each piece of armour is 198k. Not to mention that you can't fight the final boss at rank 12. Sheesh, in a game that's all about getting equipment, you have to wonder why people bother. I mean, once you have the uber gear why continue playing? besides, this isn't PSO, where you can play 2000 hours and only get 1 real rare. You can actually earn everything you want if you put in a little time (little being relative to PSO).
Thank god you can't trade equipment, so these hacked items don't spread everywhere, and also thank god there aren't any malicious cheats ... yet.
Thus ends my mini-rant.

Ps. Cheaters suck. =D

I finally beat the Rathalos solo offline this weekend. Thank god for Flash Bombs, they're a big help; toss one in his face to stun him, then run in and plant some bombs, rinse, repeat. However, I fail to understand why Capcom only allowed you to carry x5 at any time, when all of the other bombs allow you to carry x10.
So after opening up the 5-star quests I played through a few of them (Basarios = super-easy, but booooring) and decided to give "Slay the Rathian" a try... what sadistic F*CK at Capcom came up with this bullsh*t? Killing a wyvern is hard enough, but now I've got to do it in a swamp infested with Bullfangos, Genprey, and Ioprey? And to top it off, the Rathian sleeps in Area 5, which respawns infinite Genprey and Ioprey? I damn near broke my controller in disgust.
Since then, I've been killing Yian Kut-Ku to fill my coffers and earn Med Monster Bones. O_O
Actually, that brings up an aspect of this game I've got a problem with. This is something that in my mind has gone from a "hunh, that's weird" nuisance in the early game, to a "sh*t f*cking hell c*cksucker" torment in the latter half...
Why don't these wild animals behave like wild animals?
Why is it that when a giant, fire-breathing, carnivorous wyvern enters their territory, a herd of Bullfango will completely ignore this enormous predator to attack the tiny hunter instead? Why don't they, oh, I don't know, RUN FROM THE DRAGON THAT COULD SWALLOW THEM WHOLE?!? The same thing applies to those damn black/white cats... they're obviously intelligent enough to build a civilization, so why don't they run at the first sign of danger, instead of trying to steal from you or blow you up with bombs?
Worst of all are the raptors. You'd think that when a bigger predator invades their turf, they'd either run off or try to drive it away somehow, attacking it with their superior numbers. But no - they're stupid video game dinosaurs, so they're going to kill the little hunter instead. And the same thing applies to the wyverns; what in god's name would cause a Rathalos to tolerate a raptor's presence IN ITS OWN NEST?!? Those things eat eggs and hatchlings too, you know. That's like hiring a child molester to babysit your kids.
Capcom had better do something about this if there's a Monster Hunter sequel; I'm getting sick of my character getting gang- FUTA by every wild animal in creation.

Okay, I need some advice peoples. Since I've heard that Hammers aren't very effective against wyverns (true?), I've decided that my 2nd character (and any character I make from now on) should have at least 1 Great Sword - just in case. Problem is, I don't know which GS I should pursue.
Metal seems to work better than bone, so that helps to narrow down my options to just a few. The Eager Cleaver's out, because it's a serious resource hog. Same thing goes for the Tactical Blade; trying to earn that many Rathalos/Rathian Claws would be a real pain in the ass. So that leaves me with just two options: the Lacerator Blade+ and the Sentinel. Here's how they stack up against each other:
Lacerator Blade+
Atk 720, Def +2
+ Higher attack power
+ Better sharpness
- More resource-intensive
- Requires slaying of multiple Rathalos/Rathian
Sentinel
Atk 672, Def +5
+ Less resource-intensive
+ Faster development path
- Lower attack power
- Worse sharpness
So... any thoughts? I could go either way.

Okay, I played a GMR event and got a Chrome Voucher. Basically, the event is identical to "Runaway Diablos" with the exception that if anyone in your group die once, then game over. You also get 600 HR points, so its a quick way to boost your HR ranking(hint hint, Gunstar and Defensor).
I will be on tonight. Probably an hour early.
You should go with the lacerator+ that eventually goes to Tactical blade.

Spike, I have Siegmund and it rocks. Of course it was pretty much useless until the final version. Honestly, I'd recommend Eager Cleaver if you were online. Coal runs make Machalite reasonable to get, but since you aren't online I'd go with Lacerator +.
Ps. Make dung bombs. I'm not sure if they are effective against Rathian, but if they are, you can drive her out of the crappy zones aka Bullfango spots. Or you could wait till she simply leaves that spot.

That's what I was afraid of. Lacerator Blade+ it is, then.DCharlie said:
I haven't been playing in the last couple of days, damn schoolwork, but there is usually 1-3 people playing on weekdays. On the weekends is mostly when we all get together.sefskillz said:
Now that I am done with offiline missions, and that I have my titan launcher still, I'm almost done gathering materials for my dual swords: prototype saucers. Refresh my memory again to where I can get goldtickets? I have 1 for somereason in my inventory and I don't remember how I got it
Since I wanted to take a break from being a gunner in the group to using a sword; why not start off with the dual blades....
I finished the luck gear that compose of:
Velociprey Mask(need velociprey head from 4* velocidrome quest)
Moss Breastplate(need mosswine hide from 4* Party Time quest)
Bone Coat(easy to make)
Skills: Knockout Negated, Luck Booster
I tried it out on the 4* Panning the Goldfish mission and I have to say it really works!!!
I went to 11 in the swamp and the first thing i mine is Union ore, followed by Ruststone, followed by Union ore again!!! Then I went to 7(the upmost mine?) and mined there, I mined another ruststone, but I can only hold one of them at a time.
I just tried it out on one mission and this is what I got from mining:
2 Union Ore
4 Earth Crystal
3 Iron Ore
5 Machilite
3 Dragonite
2 Ruststone(can only carry one at a time).
Anyway, I polished the stone and got demonlock, a RARE5 bowgun.
does lvl1/2/3 for NormalS, CragS, ClustS; Lvl1 for PierceS and PelletS; lvl2 for RecS, Poision S, StunS, SleepS; DemonS, ArmorS, TranqS, PaintS.
Edit: done the panning mission 3 times and got 3 ruststone in my chest now.
As for tickets, the silver tickets can be gotten from that inn guy after you stay at the Rook/Bishop a certain amount of time. Golden tickets are given when you stay at the Queens/Kings room a certain amount of time.
edit 2: Doh!!! I should have saved when I got demonlock because I thought I could get it again, ugh. Now all I am getting is crap weapons from rust stone no matter which combincation I tried.

What other "Luck Booster" armor sets are there? I wonder how well they work offline...

Checked the strategy guide... Moss Breastplate and Velociprey Mask = online, HR13 only. Can't make them offline, so no "Luck Booster" for me I guess.
Spent last night getting the parts I need to make a Cutlass+. All I need do now is collect enough materials to make the Mega Demondrugs.

I spend around 4-5 hours yesterday just collecting stuff to complete my pre-HR13 weapons and completing offline missions. I'm already done with cutlass+, ultimus gradios, plesioth watersword, cyclone, and siegmund. I am thinking of starting a lance and hammer weapon, anyone knows what's the best hammer/lance I can create for a HR13?
I just need to complete a couple of mission offline before I am completely done. I cleared all the 1-5 star quest, slayed monoblos, diablos(create a monoblos armor), and khezu(create a vespoid armor). All i need to do left is unlock gravios(create a cephalos armor) and do the slay two wyvern mission(rathian and rathalos I think).
Hey Defensor, what parts do you need for Titan Launcher? I could create maestrom, injector, and kut ku cannon, grenade launcher, but titan launcher doesn't show up.
I just spend the last couple of days collecting materials for my "Good Luck" gear:
Monoblos Helm
Hornet Mail +
Rathian Vambraces
High Metal Tasset +
Rathalos Greaves
Skill: Good Luck
The hardest material to get is Union Ore, Hornetaur Head/Bladefin, and Dragonite ores, but I manage to collect them all. Anyone know the difference between the skill "Good Luck" from this armor and the skill "Luck Booster" from:
Velociprey Mask
Moss Breastplate
Bone Coat
Skill: Knockout Negated, Luck Booster

Rrrrrg...
I've got about a 10% success ratio against Rathalos so far. I've been keeping track. It'll take forever at this rate to earn enough parts for my Lac Blade+ and some Rathalos armor. Every time I fight him, it's like a war; a full inventory of Lg Bombs, Sm Bombs, Pitfall Traps, Flash Bombs, Potions, and Mega Potions used, and it still ends up coming down to the wire. And I still haven't tried beating the Rathian again...
On a more positive note, I fashioned a full set of Plesioth armor this weekend. Looks cool.

...I did it.
I don't know how it happened, or why it happened, or what god of luck smiled down upon me from the heavens and allowed it to happen in the first place. All I know is, I did it, and after doing it I couldn't help but stare blankly at the screen, slackjawed and unmoving.
I captured a Rathalos... on the first try.
