Spoiler:

What armor should I wear if I carry a Red Bludgeon?

BTW, I currently wear full Volvidon Armor.

I am wondering because I am currently losing to Barioth, wearing Volvidon Armor and wielding a Red Bludgeon.

Anyone knows if monsters in double G rank quests were nerfed or not? I need to complete 1 star G rank - barioth and baleful gigginox and i'm not sure if i can deal with them both in 50 min. Also after that comes 2 Brachidios urgent. I can deal with high rank Dios in 10 minutes with Great Inceadeus but it's G rank and there are 2 of them... i'm afraid i run out of time ;(

I'm pretty sure double monster quests have monsters with less health, regardless of rank. I usually deal with high rank Brachy a little slower than you do, and the G rank urgent took me about 30 minutes.

Volvidon armor is a good set to use against barioth, so if you are losing against him it's probably your tactics that are giving you a problem. Try something with a shield if you can't dodge well and get hit alot and see how that works out.

Which Dios weapon should I get?
GS,Hammer,lance,gunlance,or longsword?
I have a dios gem,I don't plan on making his armor right now so meh.

What do the males get for the Dianthus/Campanile and Sailor armors? My little brother has yet to find a Gloamgrassbud (and I have yet to get more than the two I got at the beginning of the week), and we have yet to get to G-Rank for Hunter King Coins

Depends on your preferred weapon.

HOW DOES ONE GET EXQUISITE MEAT FOR CHACHA AND POISON GLANDS

Anyone knows how to make my fleet visit location called Pirate's Tomb? I read that it's randomly appearing but do i need any boat upgrades to have it unlocked?

You need to have your ship at max level (normally seeing 3 options for Fishing and 3 options for Treasure). Then, randomly, the captain will say "We've made an upgrade. We can travel somewhere new!" or something like that. You'll see 4 options then for Fishing and 4 options for Treasure. Pirate's Tomb is the 4th Treasure option.

Exquisite Meat: do the event quest "Wyvern Eggs."

Poison Glands: No such thing. If you mean Poison Sac, G. Wroggi and Gigginox.

I can't believe I am at what might be the very end of the Village quests and now I am stuck.

I beat the last of the five-star quests last night, and then went to bed.

I forgot what to do and/or where to go afterward.

The Guild representative has the first five tiers of quests checked off, and no further quests are available.

Please remind me of where I need to go (possibly to face Lagi again or Ceda for the first time?)

Ok here is my question. something happen visualy to wyvern fire on gunlance? last i saw it was a huge long lazor beam. i saw in MH3U its like a blue sparkle and a bang? how can you tell you did full damage from that? i saw a graph thing that showed its damage based on how much of the "lazor" version did but how can you tell with a blue sparkle and a bang?

Also is wyvern fire changed at all threw what kind of gunlance you have? like longshot and wide shot? i have this as what i have googled so far for understanding the shell types.

Normal:
5 shots, but lowest damage of the 3 types. Full Burst (slam the GL and shoot all shells) is stronger than the other 2

Long:
3 shots, longer reach and stronger than Normal. best Wyvern Fire damage

Spread:
2 shots, great damage. Full Burst is terrible, but Charged Shots get a 45% damage boost

I am about to go after Uragaan.

I just read on the wiki board that he eats rocks to recharge.

Does this mean a good or great way to prepare to fight him would be to mine every rock that I can mine until it disappears?

Or does he eat just any old rock?

He eats a giant boulder in area 4 to build up stamina when exhausted; it's just a boulder, not a mineable node.

I've been looking around and can't find where to get Diablos Medulla? i even google it but since im in the office the proxy blocks most of the web pages.
Can you get this on low rank? and do you have to wound, kill or cap?
Let me know thanks.

Blos Medullas are the high rank version of the Diablos Marrow, and can be gotten from tail carves and capture rewards.

Sauce.

What's the hit zone for the breakable part of the Volvidon's back? Is it only the top section, only the bottom, or both?

Only the top as far as I know.

I am happy to tell you that you are nowhere near the end of the village, of course the quest won't unlock if you hadnt done the Moga request were junior asks for the materials to build a base camp to fight the ceadeus.
or... go to the farm and go all the way inside the waterfall, there is a cave there with a statue and a mask, just click A on the mask, somthing should happen

Depends on your preferred weapon.

The weapons that I said ARE my prefered weapons.
GS,Hammer,Lance,Gunlance,Longsword.

Get the long sword. The rest of the weapons are best with element excluding hammer. Hammer only needs high raw.

Anyone know if you ever unlock more armour pigments other than the default 12 colours?

You unlock the infinite pigment option upon reaching hr8, which is after you complete your hr7 Port Tanzia urgent.
