The Question Hotline

First topic message reminder :

ceadeus tail.... been farming for them and only got two (from the repel only quest)

in the decisive battle, I've broken his tail numerous times and never got a tail.... (do i actually have to go to the tail and carve????)

(got deep dragon gem almost very time..... and 2 elderdragon blood in one run too...)

or does the repel only quest (save moga village) have a higher drop rate???

MAJOR BAD LUCK?

any one have list/link of/to the online titles you get for killing 100 of any given boss monster?

Thanks for the help

just a curiosity but.....i got back into playing MH3 again after taking a 2 week break and noticed that some of the monster moves that were rarely used has become more common...kan anyone answer this?

Well, I took a two month break, and I felt the same way, mostly on Ceadeus & Barioth. But I just dismissed it mostly as having forgotten how the monsters move.

Are these good armor sets? And can you think of anything better to do?

The 2nd and 3rd ones are the best in my opinion.
Also why the uragaan greaves?
I don't like the 4th one; it doesn't have enough good skills, maybe if you had an expert tali...

The Uragaan greaves gives me torso up which doubles the points of all gems and batural points that the chest piece gives. Another thing is that the gem for the 2nd set is supposed to be attack +5. I have an expert +6 OO talisman...

Edit: This is the best I could do. http://divinewh.im/s/2.Q_c.L_l.P_i.R_k.M_f.R.1R_19.Q.1S If I had an expert +7 OO talisman I could probably fit guard up in, but alas, I don't.

Right, but lagi greaves are better in every way than the chestpiece. Both of your lagi mixes are inferior to using the full set, so there's just no point to having them. The rathalos mix is like a really inferior version of vangis. The last one IMO is too defensive, and kinda goes about it the wrong way. Guard boost only really helps against ala, and if you want to be blocking you need guard+2 anyway.

I don't have access to Vangis, and for the Lagi mixes I should just go for the full set and gem in critical eye +1?

I'd gem in attack up over crit eye, unless your best attack up charm is really bad.

My best attack up charm is +5 and no slots, I think I'll go with crit eye for awhile.

The first one seems like a decent status sns set, and i cant think of anything atm to improve on it.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the second set, but you can get higher than AuS if you switch the uragaan legs with lagi ones and use an attack or two slot talisman instead of poison +5. If you do that then it has practically the same skills but with a higher attack bonus.

For the third set you should again switch back to lagiacrus parts. With the charm that you listed you can get crit eye +2 by using 2 master and one expert jewel.

For the fourth part i would suggest getting rid of the lagiacrus parts and putting rathalos parts back in with a rathalos cap and some expert gems. You may give up razor sharp but you get crit eye +3 and AuL instead of just crit eye +1 and AuS. You can also get heat cancel high. If you want a little bit of extra defence you can use the regular helm, but you will have only be able to get 20 points in one of the skills.

For the fifth set it looks like you are trying to make an evade/guard lance set with guard up. I have a set that gives you guard +2, evade +1 and razor sharp, but it requires a godcharm to use it the way i set it up http://divinewh.im/s/1.E_1Z_1f.E_i.E_k.S_1c.S_1A.j.1S

You could also change to agnaktor + armor and get guard +2 and evade +1, and it dosnt require a godcharm, but you would need to give up guard up. Which honestly is only useful against a couple attacks from a couple monsters.

Sorry for the late response, i had to leave for a while in the middle of typing this.

The poison thing was an error, it's meant to be attack +5 charm. And thank you for the feedback.

N.B. I'm still in Low Rank. I'm also a firm believer in using appropriately leveled equipment Online. (Just like how they do it in the Arena.)

I skipped armor sets to get to hr 51 at a reasonable, enjoyable rate. The first armor sets (BLADE MASTER ONLY) that I focused on having were leather armor+/N, quropeco+/N, agnaktar+/N, lagiacrusN(upgrade to high tier), barioth+ (also, get barioth normal if you don't main guard+2 lance), uragaan+, ceadeus+/N, jho+, and jhen+. I didn't upgrade the low tier armors to high tier (except lagiacrus N), till I was rich and got nothing better to make. Baggi seems like a decent set to make for the skill, capture expert. Rathian armor, I didn't make it, but it can be helpful for monsters that deal fire damage. Rathalos seemed useless to me in low tier and high tier. It's difficult to make and it's not worth the time to make it. Uragaan(defense>attack for beginners because of less deaths) and rathian are more efficient to make in terms of cost or time. Also, I like agnaktar armor because I was a main lancer. A armor with good fire resistance is needed for pre-HR51 players.

I know this is bias but, a player with full rathalos+ armor usually isn't strong (in terms of equipment/skill) because they spent so much time making that rathalos armor that they didn't spent enough time on making better weapons because they grew tired/bored. Also, at high tier, if you want more damage, start thinking about getting sharpness+1.

Slightly modified version of the above set http://divinewh.im/s/0_y.M_15.L_w.M_16.L_15.O_Y.R.0

You have double poison but it dosnt mean much since you should be using antidotes anyways. Plus crit eye +3 is totally worth it.

EDIT: the link dosnt want to paste apparently so ill just tell you what i did, Use that expert +6 OO talisman that you have and put a master jewel in it, then swap either the head or arms with 2 grinder jewels and put one more grinder jewel into the chest. You can swap the head or arms with another one of the same armor, only with trapmaster jewels to get trap master as a skill, or you can put 2 trapmaster jewels onto a weapon and have them both.

Thank you, now I have to go hunt some bugs and mine some ores.

I just saw a guy carrying a shark on his back not barbarian blade "sharq" it accually looked like a shark and i cant find it on the wiki does anybody know what i saw?

It's a lance, the sharq attack.



You can get it in the event quest where you kill 30 sharqs naked. You also need some luddy coins.

It's a fairly okay weapon in low rank, especially because you can get it at hr 1 (i think). It doesn't have an upgrade though.

Alright, so I hit rank 40 some time ago, and now I have a new dilemma - which armour should I choose for a gunner? I was thinking about Barioth, but my picks are mostly uninformed and random, so plz halp dis nub xD

Okay, you're gonna want several armours of course, and mixes. I'll give you some regularly used full sets:

Diablos+
Pierce is great for damage against just about everything. Due to it having only 3 pieces, there's a lot of mixing you can do. You can get alloy+ waist and gobul+ legs for crit eye, get barioth+ for evasion. Above HR 51, you can get the Black leather pants for easy adrenaline, you'll want to get evasion on that too, though. For Pre-HR51 Adrenaline, use barroth+.

Note: It's probably the ugliest armour in the game.

Uragaan+
With recoil down and bombardier, this makes a great stat gun. You can gem in stat attack up, but it's not really important. Just try and concentrate on firing as much status 2 shots and trapping/bombing (get trapmaster).

Note: If you don't get stat attack up, randies will often try to convince you that it's the best skill ever and that you should get it.

Lagiacrus+
One of the two endgame elemental guns (the other being escadora), probably the better one. While element is almost never the best choice for damage, it's still fun, and lagi+ can make it somewhat viable. For gemming, almost everything goes, there's not one skill that is completely superior.

Barioth+
While evasion and evade dist up might be nice, i wouldn't reccomend the full set. You'll be able to get evasion another way (or by using only a few parts), and there's no damage boosting properties on the set. You could gem in some of those, but it's likely easier to get the correct set for those and gem in evasion.

Anyone know any good armor sets im using los mixed with event jacket and pants

When asking easy questions like these, try to stick with the question hotline. I'm merging this.

Ontopic: What is your HR? That's pretty important when you want an armour set.
