Anyone doing the DLC quests in the Hunting Hall right now online?

I would, but I'm only HR5. If you think that's good enough for me to join, then I will though.

EDIT: I'm probably going to try and upgrade my weapons first though... Don't want to be a hinderance. I'm still only at green sharpness for most of my elements.

Sorry, I did a quick edit... thank you anyways! :)

just saw it. are the barrage piercings not in the game yet? i saw them in athena's a.s.s. but haven't looked into them yet.

also for all bow users here, take a look at this beauty.
it's a really nice support bow for groups, high raw and no element so it works well on anything. it also makes paralyze coatings better. i currently use Quartzlight until i get my Kushala X set and really dig it.

You probably need to finish EVERY arena quest in the game, at least that was the way to get them in MH3U, afair. :lol
 
Is there a way to fast travel from the gathering hall to your house in MP? I know its not far but its annoying if you want to change weapons for each quest to match the monsters elemental weakness.

Any GS users that can recommend what they went to after the Tetsu sword?

That one lasted me to the start of high rank, at which point I crafted the hermitaur one. It consistently had the best raw I could find. I got super tired of using it by the time I got to high rank, but it did its job up until that point.

i really don't understand why we can't change equipment in the gathering hall. so dumb.
 
If I ditch Focus, I could go for:

Marathon Runner
Load Up
Normal/Rapid Up
Evasion +1

edit: nevermind, barrage piercings are a no go for now...
edit2: Marathon Runner is gimping me hard... maybe I just drink Dash Juice or only play with MuchiMuchiPink and tell him to play the Horn. :lol

Edith 3: My horn (Onyx Terpsichore) has no stamina juice. better drink the kool-aid, mate.

Are the arena things doable in single player, or should you just do them in multi?
Depends. Some are easily doable in single. Others are a hassle.

Oh there are low rank quests? I'll probably check those out for sure.
The poogie horn looks so cool but the stats are low...

It has to do with preventing player's appearances from updating while in the gathering hall. I'd imagine there's some major problem with it, like if your game misses some of the update he'll be wearing half new, half old stuff.

High rank?

Deviljho: Do the HR7 Deviljho quest in the frozen sea.
Brachydios: Do the HR6 Brachydios capture quest.

Oh, do you happen to know which quests unlock HR Pink Rath + Azure Rath and Black Gravios + Normal Gravios? I've been doing rank 6 advanced quests a lot, but no success.

I really want that Black Belt armor. :(

You can beat them solo, but the S ranks are actually designed for co-op unlike 3U and P3rd.

I think (I'm around 50% sure) I got the Gravios + Black Gravios quest after the HR6 frenzied Black Gravios quest.
Sorry, but I can't remember when I unlocked Pink + Azure.
 
agree! if we two want to go bow you have to adjust, it's a team game! :>

You lose Attack Up (L) then. And have to settle for Attack up (S) if you want the juice. Also why the fuck are you two going bow now?

Thanks. What kind of rewards can you get from it? I'm just not sure what the difference is between those and regular hunts in the maps.
Arena coins for arena exclusive gear.

I always assumed the game might struggle to load in lots of different armor sets on every ones screen if they are all switching. There must be some reason for it.


Any tips for capturing a Seltas? Apparently I need to do it to unlock the Daora quest in 6* Caravan but I can't imagine it's easy with all the flying around and sleeping on walls.

Press World Map on the touchscreen, hit Dundorma/any other town and warp to your house like you would offline.

Tap world map on bottom screen -> select one of the town hubs -> Your house? Unless I am misunderstanding something.

Edit: beaten

All right, I've done that quest already so I'll just try to finish more rank 6 advanced quests.

I'd imagine using a flash bomb would knock it out of the sky no?

To reiterate on this, I was also wondering how to get the barrage piercing. According to what information I could find, the requirement for obtaining it is to complete all G rank arena quests with every weapon. Anyone who has better information or has obtained it them self, please correct me on this if this is wrong.

Just started playing last night. I'm currently working my way through 2 Star Quests.

Quick question, the eggs I find out while doing missions; Do I carry them back to the delivery box and what benefits do they give? So far I've dropped 5 or 6 trying to get them back.

You do not need to do egg delivery quests (or most non giant monster hunt quests period) to rank up, so don't feel that you have to do every quest. The gather type quests are generally there to help you easily get specific materials faster.

Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2KSrVqNo70

If you do decide to do them, be sure to eat for Felyne Supercat and Lander. The first prevents your egg from breaking from small hits, the latter from long falls.

Drink a Dash Juice and you can sprint the whole way with infinite stamina, makes them a snap.

Kushala Daora sucks ass with ranged weapons too. If you don't shoot him right in the nose or tail when the wind is up, your shit bounces right back at you.
 
I just got done with my monstrosity set that gives

Sharpness +1
HG Earplugs
Evasion +2
Challenger +1

I seriously can't look at this. Worst part is all my charge blades clip through the cape of the Garuga chest

What have I done with my day? ;_;
 
Haven't gotten back home yet to download, can someone kind of explain the DLC: are they single player or multi quests? Combination?

Do I need to have room for the special palico? And what's bout the armor for a light bow gunner?

Hate the fact that you can't name rooms in this game. Really wanna farm for Rusted Kushala armour but getting a group together that can even just join the quest (minimum is G-Crown) is tedious.

Think I saw a similar set like that last week with the Garuga cape and Rajang waist.

Monster skillset but one of the most hideous things I've ever seen in the game lol.

any time I get the genius idea to mix Gravios armor with anything I immediately regret my decision.

Yup. With Helios helm and boots. Oh and Gore arms which actually matches the chest pretty nicely.

On the whole though, vile lol
