I absolutely loved the Mewonster Hunters mini-game. Sure it was really simple (rock-paper-scissors), but it was so adorable xD
Gumpy
Wish it would come to more consoles.

Jeez... As if Baleful Gigginox wasn't enough, apparently it had an offspring with the Rath family...

I hope I never have to fight Khezus again. On the other hand, got access to Urgent marked with 7* now, finally getting my old GS consistency back too and don't cart anymore \o/

Holy crap, you're fast... or have you been skipping the non-key quests?
Ciunek
Nope, pretty much doing anything (skipped 3 or 4 quests, doing them right now, turns out they upgade caravan) but I'm a NEET right now so just played the game too much. I didn't touch any Guild quests though, waiting for friend to get his copy.
Also good luck on last egg quest... took me around 35 minutes.

So far I'm on HR5 caravan quests and HR2 for the gathering hall. I've gone on a few expeditions and the like, but I wonder when I'll see anything OTHER than Velocidrome and Yian Kut-Ku in Guild quests.

At the moment I'm using Nerscylla Blademaster gear with Sharpening and a Hunger jewel to slot out the debuff. I've got a Stealth Glaive+ Insect Glaive. I'm half-tempted to farm Gore Magala for a while to get his IG and perhaps armour, but I'm really not sure I can be stuffed.

I'm basically where you are right now, except I've been grinding Rathalos (OH BOY, RE-EXPERIENCING THE JOY THAT IS THE PLATE). I want to move on, but I at least want sets for four of the five elements. Sure, I have to redo it again when I hit High and G Rank, but I haven't really made any other armor sets, so... (And I most certainly do NOT wanna fight the first "endgame" boss with nooby gear.)
Azure_Kite
Just had an "Aw yeah" moment when I cleared the Frenzied Tigrex mission without once getting infected. \:D/

Gimme some of your luck D= Anyway, anyone tried doing this yet? (Video isn't mine, btw.)

Azure_Kite
No! But that is amazing.

I just love how I can get tails now just from capturing.

EDIT: Note to self: don't place a Barrel Bomb L+ when one of your Palicoes is in mid-attack...

EDIT 2: Still can't really find a monster that tops this one for me
(via in-game screenshot)



Zinogre is life~ Zinogre is love~
Ciunek
Zinogre is my fav since the moment I fought him in p3rd first time, he's even more fun here. Never had problems with his (or about anything's) tails since it's basically my main job as GS. Also lol at that hunter tennis, it'll be fun launching people in the air or possibly on monsters' backs.
Also unlocked 8* now, finally got my first white sharpness too, so far blue was good enough though. Now I have to upgrade more swords, possibly elementals and focus on clearing everything.

Seriously though, do you play nonstop?!
Ciunek
I think I clocked 40+ hours by now so yeah, I suppose so :P Got nothing much to do either way and quests take between 10 and 20 minutes most of time.
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I don't even have 30... lol.

Anyway, we all need to play together at one point. I know it's still kinda early to ask this, so maybe in like one more week or so?
Ciunek
One week sounds pretty good, but I might not have anything good unlocked in online mode. I'd be hunting online already if my friend had his new 3ds/game... for some reason shipping stuff to Panama takes forever, ETA for that is around one week as well.

So I just beat Tigrex... I feel sorry for any newcomers who haven't gotten used to the mechanics yet.
Azure_Kite
I know I'm not exactly a newcomer, but as long as you're prepared (it's a pseudo urgent quest, why wouldn't you be) you're not going to really run into any hassles. I like that the first Tigrex you take out (storyline-wise) is made to be one of the "harder" ones.

I say "harder" because I feel as if the frenzy virus is more a veiled buff than anything to be particularly concerned about. If you're doing your job as a hunter (dealing damage) you should never need to worry about the frenzy virus because it will be converted to the buff before you get anywhere near the debuff state. The fact that Nulberries reduce the Viral gauge by about 50% also helps ensure you are in the clear.

Which is probably why he was made to be viral in the first place.
Ciunek
For some reason few Frienzed monsters feel easier than regular ones. Khezu was giving me way more breathing space for example. Also pretty much what Azure said, if you can play well and score enough hits you get nice affinity (crit chance) buff.

Just now finished the final egg quest... Never again (unless it's also an online one)...
Critical Dude
Sorry for my inactivity but, this game...
So much time put into it from the day it came out >_<

I'm already on G-Rank 1
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I would've been that far if drop rates weren't so discouraging...
Ciunek
Desire Sensor at its finest... I've played bit online, but only unlocked HR3 with some people I know - for now. I really need to craft a better set, probably going to mix some armors for Sharpness+1 and Focus for now, 9* Village hurts a bit and I need my faster charging times.
Topic Starter

So... turns out there's one more Egg Delivery Quest at 10*, and it unlocks Fatty urgent
Easy as hell though, both of those.

Whoops, forgot to post about this: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/03/monster_hunter_4_ultimate_free_dlc_including_link_equipment_due_6th_march

Also, playing with randoms is a very bad idea when you're trying to do your Urgent ._.
Ciunek
God, randoms in this game are just...
Joined in for some random HR4 Urgent room (Pink Ian), helped them, nobody carted and I got a ruby out of carves. Next one posts his, people triplecart from ONE fireball blast, what the hell. I reached HR6 with friends, I think I'm just going to idle on #videogames if anything if you ever want to try few rounds with me. Maining GS and learning Hammer, not that great with either but at least not random tier.

Also I just checked the info in OP post. Charm tables are now reset everytime you load up the game from main menu, you're not locked at chara creation like in 3U (thank god). I still didn't get any good, I want to get to G-rank so I can actually farm those ;_;

People on 4chan's /mhg/ were posting few sets and methods for charm farming
SPOILER
1) Charm God, Gathering+1
>2 Slot weapon (2 Gathering gems)
>Torso up
>3 slot torso (3 Charmer gems)
>Derring Vambraces S (1 Gathering gem)
>Torso Up
>Torso Up
>+8 Charmer talisman

2)Set:
3 slot weapon
Skull Visage (or anything with Torso Up)
Chakra Necklace (or anything with 3 slots)
Leather Vambraces S
Lagiacrus Faulds X (or anything with 3 slots)
Tetsucabra Greaves X (or anything with Torso Up)
Charmer +7 2-slot charm

Gathering Jewel x6
Charmer Jewel x5 (enjoy farming the Rath Gleams by the way)

Gathering God
Charm Chaser

Charm Chaser being so hard to get due to needing charm and farming those silver/gold faggots, you can instead go for Iron Belt and Speed Gathering if you want.

Now for the quest:
>Eat Drink + Fish for Felyne Explorer
>Pick 10* Caravan Quest titled Puffer Fish
>Start quest, mine and gather everything in the secret area
>Jump down and climb to Area 3
>Kill the 3 Zamites
>Go up the hill and mine whatever's there
>By the time you're done mining them, 2 more Zamites spawned, kill them
>End via subquest
>Repeat

Ah, yeah... I remember reading about the Charm Tables thing but forgot to post about it. Anyway, added to OP.

(I'm getting really forgetful lately... :o)

Solo'd through HR7 Urgents yesterday (if you can count bringing cats as solo, I don't feel too safe without them at elder dragons yet)... Dalamahurrdurr took only about forever to kill, but holy crap I actually made it, the fight isn't even that hard, but it will kill people without proper armors. And then after that it's Ukanlos, but I knew how to fight him so that was way easier.
Azure_Kite
I just reached HR5 myself; I'm still using a Green-sharpness IG. Once I can get Gore Magala's parts I'll be able to upgrade again.

I've also been considering using a Seregios bow, because ranged Seregios mechanics look somewhat useful.
Ciunek
Whoever is All Terrain Venomoth, highlight me on #videogames if you ever join my Hall again, I was in middle of doing Dalamandur with a friend and saw you enter.
Critical Dude
Does anyone else feel that the two new weapons: Charge Blade and Insect Glaive are a little op when you get used to them?

I'm pretty sure that I made Dalam and Akantor cry
Azure_Kite
I'd say so, yes.

Hunters, try to dismiss a Palico that you don't use. The little cutscene made me double think my actions :<
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I usually tend to dismiss them immediately after completing a quest, so I've never seen it. I have a feeling I'll regret it, though...

Also, I saw you on earlier and tried to join, but your room was full =c
Azure_Kite
Ah, sorry D:

I was online for a little bit to try and get some HR Magala parts and went offline pretty much straight afterwards. I wanted to get blue sharpness on my Magala IG, as I was starting to fall off in damage on the Caravan hunts. If you're online at any point I'll try and join in :3

Charge Blade is probably one of the strongest if not the strongest now, with those crazy bursts.

Is it still the same one as in previous games? I ended up never dismissing any, I felt way too bad about it ;_;

Edit: DLCs are up, go to your house and talk to Housekeeper Palico.

Same theme, but different execution. It does that whole fade to black and spotlight thing, but the reactions for the felynes in both decisions (release or keep) is hilarious.
