Ciaphas posted:What's the moneymaker thing to sell from trading? I'm going adept style for CB; you lose yellow charge, which is fine because it sucks, and instead you get a fast red shield after an adept guard. (It also helps me because my 4U muscle memory keeps making me try to shield thrust into super burst, which normally leads to crappy yellow shield). The option to do an insta-charge slash is also awesome. And then you even get adept evade in axe mode! I might try aerial at some point, but adept feels best for me right now.

I can't figure out for myself if the Charisma cat is worth bringing along to give the other cat a kick or not. Everyone in the community just talks about the max dps build for prowler mode.

I decided i'm going to try a new weapon this time around, and so I've been doing SnS this playthru. The problem is i'm super torn on what style to use. I've played around with Guild and Aerial, and I really prefer Guild unless there is a "mount and topple" requirement. How does Striker and Adept hold up? I'm a little wary of Adept as i'm still not fantastic at reading attacks, and I'd really miss having 2+ arts.

I might try the pilfer skill next. The healing cat is always nice just for curing poison spam.

Everyone in the community just talks about the max dps build for prowler mode. The Palico Rally/Slackproof skill isn't bad, but yeah, generally you don't bring along the palicoes for damage purposes. Bring Collector types either for gathering out on the field, or in the hope they'll grab a bonus part off a large monster, or bring along a support type for backup. The Vitality Vase is especially good, and the Cheer Horn is fun for Art meter. If you yourself are going as a Prowler, Go Fight Win is great to have on a sidekick, since it shaves off a point cost for your abilities.

I've gone with no palicos this time round. I honestly don't really miss them because holy gently caress are they twice as annoying in MHG. In 4U you sort of tuned out the meows but now they loving dance and whistle in a never ending cacophony of noise.

Just done all of the level 1 quests, slowly but surely clicking with this game. I think the game's actual biggest enemy is the 3DS' total lack of ergonomics, my hands are loving killing me. Time to buy some grips methinks.

I used the healing cats almost exclusively in MH4U, to the point where I kind of felt like I was using them as a crutch but it didn't stop me. They heal often enough that it pretty much entirely negates those little hits that build up over a fight, and more often than not when I got knocked down to a danger zone they'd heal me back to half, at best saving my skin and at worse letting me top up with only one potion instead of two.

And Jaggis are everywhere! In fact, I think you can get both from that 2* story quest where you gotta kill 8 or 10 Jaggia.

Jaggis and Jaggia spawn reliably in the middle area with the river. As for Disc Stones, harvest them in the middle rocky areas of the Verdant Hills Harvest Tour. As always, prowl away, prowl all day.

I was under the impression that the styles and arts were nice and it has a few QoL tweaks but 4U is still really solid, and it's more that I'd feel silly for having bought 4U and not played much at all of it. If it's an amazing step up I might trade it in, I guess.

King Chicken posted:Hit the brontosaurus things while they're in a tree eating animation and it drops as a shiny. I have no loving clue how they imagined players would guess this without looking it up. Actually, it's right in the quest summary: "I heard Larinoths drop them if you 'interrupt' them while they eat." The only difficult part there is knowing what a "Larinoth" is, and you learn that from being a true Monster Hunter and murdering everything you see!  EDIT: Bonus advice: The "Water Lily Roots" drop the same way, but only in the small area with the river. Which is annoying since you have to wait for them to lay down, then get back up, then eat before you can nab one. Then run around and come back for another.

It's not an ~amazing~ step up, but it's the most "different" MH has been if you don't play the Frontier MMO. If you aren't a jaded vet, stick with 4U and pick up Gens later.

I never got to Gold Crown rank in MH4U so if anyone wants to do endgame multiplayer stuff at some point I'd be down. In Gen, how do you unlock new Prowler abilities? Is it through regular level-ups or are there quests you need to do?

Moves are a prerequisite but will unlock for all cAts when you do. Just select a locked move and it'll tell you if you have encountered the monster I think. Gotta bring the cat with the skill though when you do it to unlock for everyone. Passive skills are all levels.
