Today I hunted a few Jhen for some cash, then went and did some Moga freehunts, Hoping to top 100K res today, ugh it's such a grind

I think it would be faster to farm High plesioth online for fangs+

regarding the resource farming I've been going with Lava Nuggets (worth the same as fangs+ I think)... by concentrating on KOing the Ura I was able to mine 8 off one monster

After checking out bows in MHFU, I'm kinda mad that they didn't include the Rathalos bow in MH3U! There aren't very many bows in this game as it is... why the heck would they take it out? Easy as pie to include, since its model is just a palette swap of the Queen Blaster!

So..... yeah. Forged the last couple bits of Glacial Agnaktor armor so I could Gunlance Goldbeard Sea-Douche and get into HR 6 (because I move slow as fuck) ON TO G-RANK!

Roon: Reminds me of the pyscho in borderlands 2 "I am the conductor of the POOP TRAIN!!!
At leaset you can use their surprise to fertilise your farm.


Sai: yeah... t hink ill skip that one in that case.

Did the new super dire event, got 3 gems from my first successful one. Have yet to have a successful one since.

I've been going through early G-Rank kicking and screaming. On the bright side, I got the three Lrg. Wyvern stones I need to upgrade my Plesioth LS, so I have those for when the time comes. Also vaguely considering starting to use bowgun. To bad I have no idea which ones are really good at this point and what armor to use with 'em.

Unocked the 8* village brachydios quest. Plan on farming him for his armor tomorrow.

Derped around online joining random rooms and trying out my LBGs, which, by and by, I have one for each element, one for explosions, one for pierce, and one for status effects, when all of a sudden: BAM... I got a crown award!

That was an unexpected and very welcome surprise... I wasn't even going for monsters where I was still missing crowns for :-P Was a good day.

LBG pierce? How does that work?

Light bow guns usually have specific rapid shot capabilities. Blossommayham has rapid pierce and normal shots, and it is the highest damage pierce LBG I have access to atm. Going for the Éclair Thundercris & Stygian Invidia later.

Seems to work very well, specially since I have the H-Jhen gunner armor, which has natural bonus shot and recoil down +1, which I gem to recoil down +3, attack up Medium, and health +50. Really good pierce LBG set. That being said, I didn't use it at all yesterday. Was just adjusting to whatever was being hunted, and the last monster crown I needed was the Green Plessy, which I took down with the Nether Pho.... something or other. It was the A-Lagi LGB with rapid shot lightning.

Rapid fire pierce on LBG is awful. It have huge recoil and locks you in one place, which makes you vulnerable to monster hits. Recoil+3 does not nagate recoil from rapid fire so it's kinda pointless. Same goes with pellet. I've seen so many people using Crown of Taurus or Arctica Cannon RF pellets... don't really understand their mind process. LBG shines on elemental and status. Stop using pellets and pierce on them lol

For pierce i use Griffon Blazooka or Eclipse Gambit. For pellet i use Precision Pico Peco. With power barrel and limiter removed it goes over 500. I also have peek performance, evade extender, pellet up on set and Critical Eye+3, which gives me 45% aff. Zins are dead in no time.

Today everything went pretty good. Got brach pallium while farming pouders+ for Eisenfaust. Use it to finally upgrade dios hammer. Than i got Eisenfaust. Killed blos the same way as Sai mention earlier. Beast died underground by some miracle and arise from the ground. It looked like is was traped inside pitfall lol.

Let me guess the quest... Cold Day in Hell? I have no idea how one can replicate this glitch.

No dude i mean blos not dios :)I hunt Diablos after Brachy, it was HR version in port (carpace needed for GS). It went underground. I got with me cha-cha and kayamba (both got slime attacks equiped). They went apeshit and i heard some explosions. Or maybe kayamba throw bummerang? Anyway after this blos emerged and he was dead bro.

Oh I read that as dios lol
I was using slime but I never saw any splosions or heard anything. It still is funny seeing plop out the ground ded.

Thanks antari. I just learned to time my pierce shots in a way that I was not left vulnerable after it was done.

So: rapid fire recoil is not reduced by the recoil down ability? If that is the case, then I have a lot of regemming to do... Element plus for whatever element I am rapid firing, and status att up for the status ones.

@Seph: Yeah sorry if it sounds a little harsh, it wasn't my intention. Basically all you need in terms of LBG is Willuminator (RF dragon+fire), Nether Ploxion (RF Thunder). For status - God gun or Kettleblower if you're into it. LBG compared to HBG lacks in raw so using normal/pierce/pellets is not very good idea. Of course you can use whatever you feel like but usually HBG will do the job better. Also Stygian Invidia is totally not worth it for RF dragon.

Mopped up the rest of 5* guild key quests, the worst being the Deviljho quest taking me half an hour and 2 carts... But Ima chalk that down to not playing much recently. xP I tweaked my A.Los set, maxing out the jewel space and equipping a new talisman allowing me to keep Razor Sharp, Crit Eye+2 and HGE; gemming out Health Down and also gemming in Bombardier, which considering I've been using nothing but Brachy duals for the last forever, is pretty osserm for me. The keys after that I breezed through pretty quickly, leaving me with 'ole Goldbeard left to do before I hit G-Rank.

Think I'ma get some peeps together for that though

Haven't played in a few weeks, but when I do..I'm going to go hard and get my last 3 awards ^.^ Then off to do some normal hunting! Hope to play with a bunch of forumers then ^.^

Been fruitful week of hunting.

Finally found some decent teammates for the Hades event, so got my last three skulls. I'm now a decent archer from that experience, but not quite a pro yet.

Would jump into rooms that looked decent (mantle/sky farming). Been getting mantles like crazy now - one 2x ivory quest dropped 3 mantles on me.

Still have a few awards to go. Handful of quests left to clear, the artisan's award, and two of the crown awards.

made it to HR100 last night

Finished off all of the Dire Miralis weapons last night and worked on the last 4 upgrades to complete all of the Brachy weapons. Also finished some of the old event quest weapons like the tiny Ura and Baleful nox.

Last night MetaMarx and I buffed him over 2800 raw attack...next step..3200 O.O

1440 raw +Food, +Might Pill, +HH Song, +Cool Felyne +Charm +Talon +Cat buffs

Am I missing something? How can that take the Blos GS, or Jho GS to 2800 raw? That is about double the regular damage. A Critical lvl 3 Charged GS attack with that would be deadly for sure...
