Can someone just travel into the future and tell me if I'll ever get a rustshard so I can get to hunting again instead of getting antsy about being on a cursed table.

edgeman83 posted:I have always found Qurupeco in general a pain to capture. Last night I had him limping so I set a trap down. The fucker started hovering right over the trap. He eventually landed on the other side of the map and then flew off. This will happen if you use pitfall traps with flying monsters. I think burrowing monsters are immune to them also but I don't use pit traps so I can't really remember.

Mine too whilst they're at it. The site keeps crashing on me whenever I try to check my table. I don't really care about getting a perfect table but I don't want to invest time in a save game which will lock me out of certain weapons. My Husband and I started our games at the same time and through sheer luck he got one lot of results back which included table 10. But it would be nice to check with my own fishing hauls. I know people have mentioned that this sort of thing has been in the game before but not so overly obvious to check or fix. Does that mean in previous games some people might have just been locked out of rust shards and would never know?

Charm Tables are new to Ultimate, P3 (the previous game with tables) didn't have horribly awful broken ones without rustshards.

In previous games it changed the rng seed every time you started the game, so while you might not be able to get any great stuff that session, next time you play you'd probably be on a different table and everything would be fine. This game it locks you in when you hit the new game button so it's really dumb and I hate it.

Shock traps will always work assuming you can get him to walk into one, which can be difficult. Just make sure he's at his final destination area before you drop it. If you can catch him sleeping then that's a good indicator that he's in his final area. If you're not sure, beat on him a little and see if he flys off.

Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:All gunlance explosions are raw damage. The element is for the stabby part. Gunlances do differ in the shape of the explosion they spit out, though. Nope. I just was curious if when you picked up an elemental gunlance if it converted the blast/raw damage to the elemental type of the weapon instead of raw.

That's cool, then. Have you looked into the different explosion spreads? They should have different-size clips, if I recall correctly. Unless things have changed, Wide shells (I think) are generally the best bet, but require the most reloading.

I've been chopping it off then carving the separated tail. Guess I just have bad luck is all. Would capping him help?

Some items from the boats are used to craft high rank armor, and some are used just for money (like the crown parts, which you can combine for more money) Also gently caress do I hate Rathalos. It isn't hard, its just sooo annoying and such a tedious fight. But I need this guy down so I can access Brachydios and make my slime SA and start killing everything

Rathalos is a cool guy to fight because you can use almost every trick in the book. Bombs as he's landing, bounce bombs as he's flying, flash bombs as he's shooting fire balls. The only thing that sucks is his nearly instant claw grapple thing, oh, and his World Tour

I'm a total newbie to MH and I can't get past that Bear Trap quest. I smack it around until it limps off until another area, but then when I trap it he doesn't go down to the tranqs at all.

Did he have a chance to sleep or hang out near a honey node?

How do you find out what parts of a monster you can break? Is the information available somewhere in the game? I know you can look it up online but that's obviously not possible when traveling.

Just head back to base camp and grab it. For the later low rank capture quests they only give you one.

I know the gamepad likes to output the menu sound. darkhand posted:Does voice only come out of the gamepad? I saw some people chatting through text seemingly to no one, and I had gamepad sound off. Gamepad sound is the dumbest thing In the third tab of the minus(-) menu, there is an option that's something like "Network Settings". You can set voice to come through your TV there.

Ok so I'm just barely into the game, just finished the first Urgent Quest where you hunt a pack of Ludoths. Using the starter Iron Hammer and Leather Armor set currently. When do I start upgrading my armor/weapon, and what should I be looking for to upgrade to? I don't have many options available yet for weapons--just a Bone Hammer with lower durability than what I have--but Armorcraft at least has a bunch of options listed even if I don't have materials yet. Should I just use my starter Armor Spheres to upgrade my Leather Armor, or save them for something meatier?

Save your spheres for later. Most armor sets will require you to get parts from large monsters. As far as weapons go, make sure you're looking at weapon upgrades, not crafting new ones. I don't know about hammers, but I was able to make a first-tier ludroth lance before fighting my first jaggi.

Make a hunters set, that's a pretty good starter suit due to phychic (shows where the boss is at the start). Upgrading it will take you through the next few ranks easily.

I think I have just hit the stage where my feelings about MH3U have gone from "I'm having reasonable fun" to "Holy poo poo this rules, I want to make everything." What did it for me was trying out the hunting horn for the first time. I just smashed a bug into atoms with a metal bagpipe, and it was the best feeling ever. While I played a tiny bit of the Wii game, i didn't get far and had no one to play with. I'm now midway through the desert area. But I'm not sure about the best way to kill the bugs without breaking them. I know I'm meant to use poison, but not how to get poison attacks. Is it a bowgun thing (I'm awful when it comes to shooters in games and haven't touched guns yet)? The armour from the bugs is beautiful, and I absolutely must be a Fabulous Butterfly Combat Musician.

You want to use poison smoke bombs to kill them if you want to make sure you get a carvable corpse. Which can be made with a bomb casing and either a toadstool or a poison sac. Bomb casings are made from stones and sap plants. That mission mentioned below by RuBisCO also seems to have an increased chance to not explode the bugs with normal attacks. That could just be confirmation bias on my part though... Lexorin fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Mar 22, 2013 |

While I played a tiny bit of the Wii game, i didn't get far and had no one to play with. I'm now midway through the desert area. There's one early mission that involves killing 12 Bananas in the Flooded Forest. It gives you two smoke bombs that you can use (though in terms of attacks, yes, you'd have to use a bowgun) to kill the bugs. The mission also gives you some Banana parts at the end quest screen. I ran it 5~6 times to get my pretty bug princess armour.
