"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"
So I guess before I'm at the absolute end-game, I'll probably just stick to Hammer because I'm not about to start making a bunch of Elemental Bows before I know what sucks and what doesn't (lol the tobi bow still seems really good though)

But... I'm getting distracted because i need this Almudron Gunlance. Are elemental gunlances decent in this game?

my friends talked me into playing this I am a monster hunter baby and everything is intimidating and not very tutorialized.

I'm trying to learn longsword but I can't hit for poo poo with it. Meanwhile dual blades and hunting horn both instaclicked and while I'm not what anyone would say "good" I'm at least not totally ineffective when using them. Any tips for properly using the hanzo steel?

Get comfortable with weapons that work for you now until you learn the moves of a monster (mine is barroth). Then switch it up to all the other weapons.

I'd happily drop it - I tried Lance for a bit, ended up hating it - but iaijutsu is cool as gently caress so part of me really wants to make it work

Though I'm tempted to immediately despise you for hating my favorite weapon, Lance is another one that suffers bigtime from lack of tutorializing (it's one of the most mobile and aggressive weapons, but comes off as the opposite of those at first), so I can't fault you for that.

Longsword is overall the series' most popular weapon, so I'm sure somebody will have a good tutorial vid to post. In the meantime, just keep tripping, just keep tripping, just keep tripping tripping tripping.

It's a little sticker for your guild card. Basically just an Achievement/Trophy, since the Switch doesn't come with an out-of-game tracker.

Its not really a thing since shells don't take elements. Element will only matter on your melee attacks.
edit: that is to say element or raw damage doesn't really matter for gunlances, what you are looking for is shell level and sharpness mainly.

Which will likely translate 1:1 to actual Achievements when it hits Steam.

Lance main here, submain Horn. Team Pokebonk.

Speaking of weapon stuff:

:siren: If anybody makes sweet MH weapon gang tags, then we can do the whole gang tag thing. :siren:

So if anybody has any Lance Lance Revolution tags or whatever else (I forget who posted LLR; compliments to them), feel free to post them here (or PM me, since the thread's very fast right now).

I came up with Lance Lance Revolution but graphic design is not my passion

Is there a site or somewhere in the hunters notes that specifies whether or not you can chop off a tail? I’d like to know when I should be concentrating on that.

It’s also a bit annoying in the hunters notes that you can’t see a drop unless you’ve already received one (even if you’ve already hunted the monster several times). I’m trying to get a pale bone off khezu and I never have, I see on Kiranico that it can be a broken part reward but I don’t know which part.

This is good advice. Rathian is my go-to for a new weapon. All of her moves are super telegraphed and easy to avoid, and most have long recoveries, so you have a very nice offense/defense flow when fighting her. She was my first fight with World Hunting Horn, and that was when I discovered the unbridled joy of bonking.

I haven't looked at the Hunter Notes in Rise, but in World the Notes would indicate if a tail was severable.

I think longsword is one of the harder weapons to learn, which makes it weird that every game pushes it as the default weapon. Use what clicks with you - dual blades are a great newbie choice as they are dead simple, and hunting horn is better than ever this game, so go hog wild with them.

At risk of stating the obvious, but usually the small mons appearing on any map will appear on the quest details. Are Jaggi not listed on any? (Still in LR myself).

You can but the option name is kind of confusing. When you're editing the action bar it's communication settings or something like that, it lets you swap out the 4 sticker/pose/shoutout actions they have by default with different ones.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

So I managed to get a set of armor that gives me Guard 5, finally. Now the problem is I don't see any Lances that I feel like are currently worth making. The one that comes closest is the Pukei-Pukei one, so I guess I'll do that, and I'll use the Izuchi one as filler. I'm sad that I can see the endpoints of weapons now and know that the tree isn't worth continuing on, it makes the game feel less magical :( If only this game had Generations' method of upgrading.

I beat Village Magnamalo and what a fun fight but also man they barely tried to have a story in this one didn’t they

I actually kind of liked that World had a bit of a narrative and from what I hear this game even at high rank literally doesn’t have an ending yet

Anyway time to beat him in Hub too lol

I really hope they re-work the Talisman farm. It's 2-3x as efficient to just spam rampages over and over again to get the tickets to meld, and MAN that gets boring after the 20-30th time.

Rest of the game is great, but this easily makes Rise second place behind world for me.
