*looks at Gore Magala* Buddy, all I want are three more of your feelers. I appreciate you giving me two plates, but I have two more glaives that want your stupid horns. The deal is, I break your horns, you drop your feelers. Stop rescinding on your end of the arrangement.

I feel bad whenever somebody mentions Kushala being a pushover (which he is) since one of my earliest formative memories of Monster Hunter was tackling one in MHFU completely undergeared and unprepared and just barely pulling off the repel within the time limit

If you didn't have poison or a dragon weapon to break its head, you were probably hosed. It's still something to be proud of for your first try!

Hey folks, So upfront; first monster hunter ever. Holy poo poo, there is so much depth in a portable game! I've gone from Charge Blade to Insect Glaive and now I'm settling on Heavy Bowgun (Eyes on hunting horn) for now, my question is how do you guys keep up with well done steaks? I feel like I'd have to plop down 3 mins every hunt to fill up and there's not really any time for that during a hunt, especially online! What do you veterans do?

Rations are usually enough early on and after a bit more you can unlock the ability to have the chefs prepare them for you

Amazing Member posted:Hey folks, Once you advance far enough in the single player you get a service with the chef cats to cook multiples at a time for Wycademy Points, at least you did in 4U, think it's carried over. Basically don't really bother about stocking up on them now, horde raw meats you get from random sources then just cook them in big lots at once.

Amazing Member posted:Hey folks, You will eventually unlock the rife roast feature at the bistro that will allow you to hand over 10 raw meat or fish for cooking by the end of your next mission. Eventually your food options will allow you to enter most hunts with nearly max stamina bar size, which cuts down the rate of necessary meat consumption to where rations will usually carry you through the hunt, even in high rank. If your meat supply fails, make energy drinks until some harvest tour runs remeat you with mission rewards. Or you could meat dupe, if you're online. e:f,b

Amazing Member posted:Hey folks, As stated, rations and hoarding early, having the bistro cook it for you later. Also some meals, eating before hunts is important, both for stats (health and whatever other thing you boost, I prefer attack most of the time) and the skills they give. Also if you go back to the glaive, I wrote some advice on it earlier in the thread for another person new to it. It's a great weapon that's actually pretty easy to play, but there are a few things you need to know, plus a lot of lesser things that help.

Oh, I watched every weapon tutorial by Gaijin Hunter and learned as much as I could about the kinsect, and how the buff mechanic works. I built an Altair(sp?) and went full speed bug upgraded into the white buff + speed. Basically, I try digesting so much info before jumping on the next thing. HBG just has so many ammo variants, though mostly I've boiled down my ammo decisions to "If I use pierce 3 can I get 3+ hits off? Yes? Pierce 3. Out of Pierce 3 or can't hit 3+? Pierce 2...Etc" Now I just need a recoil down and reload speed up armor set! Also, thanks Mortimer! Amazing Member fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Aug 4, 2016 |

Instead of meat you can also use energy drinks which double as a counter to sleep.

Amazing Member posted:Hey folks, Been addressed a bunch, but I'll add - Rascyc posted:Instead of meat you can also use energy drinks which double as a counter to sleep. Dammit, beaten. But seriously. -Rations are usually enough to cover an entire hunt. If you're having serious problems with stamina, maybe you're forgetting hot drinks in cold environments? A lot of hunts can drag on while you're still learning the ropes. It'll even out. -Check the cook options at the fondue table. Should be an option at the bottom to cook meat/fish for you. -Need meat? A lot of the cat kill X# quests seem to reward raw meat. Give those a whirl? Kill and carve Bullfango is dumb, but it's meat. -Energy Drinks - they resort as much as rare meat, half as much as well-done. Bonus, they counter sleep if you hit them before the sleep finally takes effect. Relatively cheap, Nitroshroom+Honey. -Dash Juice. Although this doesn't really help with the meats (it uses them), Dash and Mega Dash Juice are loving rad. Dash Juice is cheap and helps you get rid of the Rare Steaks you might otherwise not use. EDIT: - Halve Hunger/Negate Hunger armor skills can mitigate or eliminate the need to eat at all. It isn't very recommended, but if for some odd reason you just find not having max stamina really frustrating, as is usually the case with things that annoy people in Monster Hunter - there is an armor skill for that. Personally, just stick with Energy Drinks. I prefer to use meats for tainted/tinged/drugged bait for the odd monsters that are hungry hippos.

I just saw a glaive user with Blunt, Mind's Eye and Knockout King. Blunt doesn't make bladed weapons do KO damage does it? I guess he could be using a blunt insect and knocking monster out that way but hahaha no.SilverGryphon posted:Eh. Kiran glaive tops out at 170 raw, 42 Thunder, +23 defense, and a sliver of white over a decent chunk of blue. Astalos glaive tops out at 180 raw, 26 Thunder, and a 20% affinity boost with a pretty long chunk of white over a slightly shorter chunk of blue, though, so unless you reeaaaally want to push the elemental damage and boost your defense I would say your better option is the Astalos glaive. You can also fight Astalos much earlier than Kiran. The Kirin glaive looks so awesome though! Roland Jones posted:Oh yeah, I really wish Clockwork returned. It and the Poogie horn were both amazing and deserve to be in a game where they can actually be endgame-worthy. Poogie horn broke my heart. It wasn't even late-low rank-worthy.

Blunt gives extra attack based on your weapon sharpness (about 15 for green, 20 for yellow, 30 for orange) Depends what glaive he was using - if it was one with a good long green, it was probably just a cheaper attack up M kind of boost.

I guess he could be using a blunt insect and knocking monster out that way but hahaha no. Blunt/Bludgeoner does extra damage for low-sharpness weapons. It has nothing to do with cutting/blunt damage and Knockout King is not at all useful for a glaive, but it's a good skill if you want to use something like the Ukanlos or first Nakarkos glaive. Mind's Eye is necessary (or, you know, at least really useful) with it, though, since the glaive's myriad buffs do not include that particular ability. So, yeah. First two make sense and are good, last one is baffling.

Sniping Kusha with Super Pounds as hammer was extremely my poo poo, ever since MHFU. I remember I managed to kill a G rank Kusha solo before it ran in FU simply because I was bonking it on the head so hard. One of the tricks with hammer though is it makes you immune to his wind bullshit (well, at least when he's not got his black wind up but that's when you flashbomb him out of the sky or poison him)

FYI, the award for filling out your combo list only requires you make "a majority" of all possible combinations aka you don't have to do the armor stone or slick axe combos.

I'm also interested in doing lower level stuff because I'm trying to learn how to use bows after using LS through HR50. It's my first MonHun, so every weapon is totally new to me.

Maybe make a decent LR armor set first, although the one you start with is good enough for 1 star quests at least.

Is it just me or are the deviant armours way more trouble than they are worth? I'm working on Silverwind right now, and the process is like: you have to beat each step three times in order to get 5 tickets, by the end you will have fought the same loving monster like 50+ times, it's pretty ridiculous.

I will say that jump after finishing the story and immediately the game gives you all the old flagship monsters for you to hunt somewhat astounded me. MHGen's progression isn't exactly the best, where it frontloads all the gathering quests. Nice that V5 and V6 essentially have no gathering at all though.

What's ridiculous is that we have no deviant Nibelsnarf. In all honesty I get what you're saying, and it's a pain in the rear end to get a lobby going because randoms will just pop in and post their own quest. And if you do their quest instead, most of the time they log off immediately afterwards. I don't think the armor sets are worth it (I'm pining for Crystalbeard though), but I think each deviant monster has at least one good weapon to go for.

i've gone through 2 deviants and i don't think i've ever seen pubs just run in and post. in fact i regularly have to prompt them to do it. just put the level of the quest you're on in the name of the room and things usually work out in my experience.
