Soul Glo posted:When you're out on the map hitting stuff, there's no way of knowing what it is you're hitting if you're basically new to the series like me, though. Those are small monsters and yeah, nobody knows the names of those in the beginning. You just have to look those up in the rare cases you need something like Kelbi Horns, but they almost NEVER matter for anything for the rest of the game. The ones that matter are the big boss monsters and you'll know the names of those for sure.

I forgot about them because I was overlooking them on purpose 'cause they're ~fanged beasts~ now and aren't actually supposed to be on that page. edit: you can get a bullfango (or was it bulldrome?) mask for your palicoes though.

Pierson posted:You should always kill and never capture because that fucker deserves death, as painful as you can make it. You should probably kill almost every monster in the game, HR+. For some reason, it very few of the rarer drops from monsters are ever available from capping in 4u.

Drythe posted:Capping is easier, kill those fuckers for their glorious gems and plates. It's kind of a wash since capturing gives you like a 70% chance for a third reward, and sometimes the drop rates for capturing the rare stuff is like 1-2% higher than the carve rates, so you're left with a choice in that case. Some monsters though have equal chances in which case it's always optimal to go for carves for the guaranteed third shot. The whole thing is kind of annoying, just Wiki the materials you want and decide from there. If you want a general rule then I'd always kill outside of Raths/Savage Deviljho. I might be forgetting something else. I'll admit to capturing very often in online cause people die to the dumbest poo poo and I just want the fight to be over.

Just started monster hunter freedom unite. I've finished all the training quests and have a few questions. What should I spend my money on? What item is best for me? I know hammer greatsword longsword are the top 3 picks I see online, but I'm playing on a keyboard and mouse. This games hit detection is tough, I have trouble consuming items quickly in battle, and the need to also rotate the camera is another thing slowing me down. I need a "slow and steady" playstyle. Would the lance be best? Because of its high block? Or is the hammer and greatsword to good to pass up? Anything I should know as a newbie?

Made the Obituary armor to try out my new bassarios guitar and jumped into online HR hunts to start learning how to horn hunt. Third hunt, host asks if we wanna try something hard and I join without looking. It's Akantor. My first Akantor ever on my third hunting horn sortie.  I was the only one who didn't cart but I also spent half the fight running away and playing sick riffs from a safe distance.

All the books they keep talking about throughout the game? There's a whole section in your pause menu called Hunter's Notes that has every single monster, their name, and a little picture of what they look like made exactly for this kind of question. In the game.

Soul Glo posted:Ok I don't want to dogpile but the quest or expedition info almost always shows a little icon of the monster and its name, on the first page of the info that you literally have to view when you accept the quest. If you look deeper you'll see its name mentioned a few more times as well as an objective like "Hunt a great jaggi".

Unity points give you progressively better VE tickets (until you hit max rarity, then it loops around again), which you trade in to the veggie elder for rare mats.

Does it get progressively better, or does it skip back and forth a bit? I got a bronze, then silver, then bronze again. I now have two of each. Will I get a gold next, or is there something limiting how high a value ticket I can get? HR maybe?

It's tied to the # of unique quests you do. 40 for bronze, 100 for silver, 180 for gold, a whopping 370 for cosmic.

So you got bronze and silver for one person, and bronze for a second person. Play with that first person again, and you'll eventually get gold, etc, etc.

Really annoyed at how difficult multiplayer is to get on a hunt with. 99% of the time, they're already going, so you're just standing around waiting and praying they don't immediately leave.
