Do they ever actually explain trapping in MH4U? I know how it goes but buggered if I've ever seen anyone mention it.

While I'm asking daft questions, do I just want to go on Expeditions to gather poo poo or just walk out the door or what?

If you tell them you need tutorials, they explain trapping during the first required trap quest offline (gendrome? I think it's Gendrome)

And expeditions are nice for certain things (insect nectar, rust gear), but otherwise you're probably better off with the gathering quests if you just need a bunch of random mats. They're more predictable, and you'll know where all the gathering points are, which speeds things up.

Good, gently caress those.

Relics are really cool. I found a lightning gunlance and switched over from gunner to use it and it's loving kickin' rad. I guess you can't craft them into new poo poo, just upgrade them with armor spheres? Still, a rare 3 with elemental damage when I'm just crafting lovely rare 2s is pretty handy.

Oh? Do you know for sure that we can't upgrade rusted items along a path?

edit: also is slime/blast still outrageously powerful? I just saw the kelbi slingshot on the wiki.

Yes. A lot better. They explain almost everything this time while in 3U, it was mostly "Here's the quest, have fun."

The new attacks on the greatsword are amazing. Everything drops so fast. :allears:

Can the Seltas Queen just summon an infinite number of Seltas? Seems like a pretty good way to farm them up. Also, I've saved the Rath couple until now. It's gonna be super satisfying knocking Rathalos out of the god drat air via Glaive jumping, isn't it?

The names don't line up (and some don't even have English) but from what I've seen the quests all match. If the wiki says I need to kill a Tesucabra, the fact that the name of the quest is 鬼蛙テツカブラの狩猟 isn't going to throw me off the trail.

Nope, tried that, just get first aids because I guess the arena likes to gently caress with you by stuffing their monsters with lovely items instead.

Talk to Wycoon, he'll trade them to you for other monster materials. There's a lot of gear in MH4U that you can only get this way since the associated monsters didn't make it in.

They're animatronic monster replicas, they use first aid drinks instead of oil. That's why you flex after you drink them, they're literally robot fuel and so you feel like a champion.

For that excavated stuff that's the only way you can power them up. Most will give you a flat attack boost per armor sphere upgrade, a few rarity levels raise crit chance instead IIRC. No matter how much you power them up sharpness levels, elemental levels, bullet types for guns, etc will never change. Generally only excavated weapons with the highest rarity levels are worth bothering with for this reason--you can never really drastically improve any of them past the state you first find them in.

Quropeco isn't a thing anymore, but if you progress in the story you can trade another monsters parts for his. I don't remember which part it is that becomes feathers, though.

You need Kecha Pelts, all of Qurupeco's parts require Kecha Wacha parts with the exception of Crimson Peco Fellwings which require Purple Gypceros Fellwings.

There will be (assuming they don't change it from the JPN version) a DLC quest against two congalalas. One's red, one's green, they have mushrooms held in their tails.

After enough time, they use with the mushroom, becoming gigantic and playing the mario mushroom sound.

How do you upgrade Meat at the kitchen? All my other ingredients are at 1 or 2 stars, but meat is still at base level. I found some guide that said it was a HR2 quest for popo tongues, but I don't seem to have it. Is that the right quest and if-so, what's the pre-requisite?

I'm curious about this as well. I'm comparing my quest list to the one on the wiki and I just don't have that quest.

Any bug monster drops fluids like other monsters drop tears, just beat the poo poo out of a big bug and scoop their fluids.

Using a bowgun that can shoot poison shots and bringing some poison bombs (toadstool + bomb casing) is the best way.

They can, but I want to say that bananaramas have a better drop rate? That might be anecdotal, though.
