I just got the 3DS version (even though I stopped playing the Wii version at the second tier). How do I check what charm table I have? e: Oh nice, I start with each of the intro weapons? Evil Mastermind fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 20, 2013 |

I can also finish the great jaggi and bear dude in under 5 minutes with only the metal bagpipes +?? I was just going to ask this myself; I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be taking out Jaggis in three shots with the starting sword & shield. (Yes I use S&S because I'm a button tapper)

Are bows viable when you're playing solo? I'm having a hard time getting the "feel" of the bow's strength, and R-aiming is kind of rough on the 3DS.

I just captured my first Arzuros and got Cha-Cha. Look who's a real monster hunter now.  Question: is there a trick or something to breaking Great Jaggi's head? I need two frills because I want the full Jaggi biker armor but I don't seem to be able to do enough damage to the head to get the carve. At least, I don't think I am; I did get a head off my first G. Jaggi kill but I can't tell if I'm breaking the head or not.

Bussamove posted:If you break his head, his frill will get all ragged and full of holes, it's pretty obvious once you know what to look for. If you've been getting a reward in the lower half of the reward list that's colored teal, you've been breaking it. Sometimes bad luck just happens with drops. Ah, then I have been breaking the head, I've just been "lucky" and getting the rare drops. Got it. Is there a list of what monsters you can get which items off of? I think I'm at the point where I need to start doing some weapon upgrades because the bone gear dulls way too quickly.

e: ^ ^ ^ Thanks for the confirmation.pixaal posted:Its not listed under carve its listed under a break. You don't get a break unless you get a rewards screen. If you free hunt (moga woods, where you probably are running into them) you don't get a rewards screen. You do get one if you capture then talk to that guy though. I killed about 15 of them and got none. (they die easily so its not like a huge waste of time). Every time I have broken that stupid mane then captured them I've gotten it. Get 5 perception gems and shove them into your gear then paintball him. He dies too fast to see the limp half the time. Gah, dangit, so I have to keep doing the "Hunt the G.Jaggi" quest to get the frill? That's annoying. Although I suppose it's good practice for later.

Is it worth grinding the Bnahabra set for a gunner? Trying to get the carapices and such seems to be a bit of a pain in the rear end. Also I wish I'd know getting Sap Plants was such a pain or I would've thrown them in the farm instead of just using the one I had for a bomb casing.

Is it better to use slashing or impact weapons on Qurupeco? Because I was bouncing a lot with DS, and I don't know if that was because it was too touch, or because my weapon wasn't powerful enough (Chief's Scythes).

Ignimbrite posted:Slime is applied similar to how statuses are applied. Every few hits the slime effect will trigger and a green, yellow or red (depends on how much slime has been applied to the monster cumulatively since the last explosion) splooge of slime will pop up. After a certain amount of slime has been applied to a monster, all the parts which have been slimed (you can slime each seperate hitbox of a monster - eg for brachydios, his head, body, arms, each leg and tail) will explode, dealing a set amount of damage to the parts previously slimed. The rate at which monsters get slimed is only affected by the monsters' resistance to slime, and the amount of damage is only affected by the Bombardier skill. Jeez, that sounds like it'd be pretty nasty on Dual Swords.

Good lord Royal Ludroth is a loving slog. It felt like it took a lot longer than it should have, although I'm pretty sure part of that is because I was using S&S. I also realize that I need to start using more of the tools I have available like Might Seeds and traps/bombs even on hunts, because right now I just get in there and start slicing until the monster stops moving. Still, progress!

The mask description says that Cha-Cha won't attack when he's wearing it; will he still distract monsters? I just found these two "Beginners Guide to Monster Hunter" videos which are really good. The second video really breaks down everything you wanted to know about captures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6iYOHaGGKk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LN570LBJOY

Hey, did you know you can capture monsters when on a hunt mission? I didn't!  So anyway I gave Longsword a whirl since I was compelled to make the chainsword, and I still feel like I'm missing something. I like DS/S&S because they're faster and give me better maneuverability, but the problem I have with the Longsword is the same one I have with Lances; I feel like if I'm not lined up exactly I'm going to always miss. At least with the small blades I get the horizontal slashes so I have a little leeway. I get that I can swing the longsword with the R button, but I don't know if I'm using it right with the normal combos. I think I just need to play with it more, but is there a decent LS guide floating around? I don't know if I'm ready to swap the faster attacks and Auto-Guard charm for the big-rear end chainsaw katana.

ChibiSoma posted:Found something pretty great. I dare you guys to sit through even half of this Zinogre fight. quote:I've never seen someone just walk up to a monster's face and start attacking it. Especially with a Long Sword. Or completely ignore monster tells. Dude will just stand in front of a monster that's not doing an attack animation and quaff a potion. 9 times out of 10 he gets charged into, negating all the healing he just did. He never learns from any of his mistakes. I mean, at the point that guy's at, I'm assuming he went through the village quests so he's fought Wroggi and Qurupeco, the two monsters whose job it is to teach you the hard way not to fight things head-on.

Wow, Lagisarius doesn't like it when you slam the Peco fire hammer in his face. Start of the fight: "Holy poo poo that thing is huge! This is gonna suck!" Five minutes into the fight: "Yeah you better run!"  Now to choose between grinding Gigginox or Rathian...

I think the rathian fight was when I finally started to really enjoy the hunts. All of the 1 star through 3 star monsters died really quickly, and their gimmicks weren't very interesting. I had no idea that the rathian poisons the first time you fight it, and it took all of my potions to stay alive. And, yeah, I felt incredibly badass when I finally took it down. I'm on the 3DS, so I can only imagine how fun it must be to play with 3 other people
