I have MH3U now.

Not the most constructive post in the world but as many of you know, I was dying to get a Wii U and play this, finally I have acquired it. After some struggling with long system update downloads (i have amazing internet), and slow installs, and then making a Nintendo net ID thingy so I can have access to the DLC, I am finally up and playing.

Currently just messing about offline mode but I will try it out online soon.

What I could use is some clarification about the Tanzia port choices.

I can understand that Solo means the Tanzia port solo, and Multi means multplayer with other hunters.

My question is this though. What is Network mode?

Also what's the point of the other choices on Tanzia, so far I only have Marina open to me, what's at the Tavern? And is the Multi version of Tanzia got truly harder monsters than the solo version port?

Look forward to hunting with you all soon.

Network Mode is online mode, and Multi is local with a 3DS. The Tavern is where you can eat and initiate quests.

MetaMarx is exactly right.

The difference between monsters from what I under stand is that Solo Tanzai Monsters have slightly more health than the Village monsters and maybe hit harder.

Multi port monsters have much more health and hit harder to level out the possibility of multiple hunters.

Network is online, monsters difficulty equals that of multi port.

If you want company while hunting or help killing stuff, send me a pm or respond to me here. We can meet up and I will help you with what I can. It's what I enjoy doing.

I thought 3U had no health/damage scaling AT ALL for multiplayer.
Can you confirm this? I noticed no difference whatsoever when switching from solo to multi port.

That makes no sense, why would a monsters health and attack stay the same when more hunters are present? Where are you getting your information from?

Um that's the way it is. A reason people complain 3U is so easy is because of that. You kill stuff VERY fast with 3 or 4 people and solo is well doable. I don't remember any prior MH game having scaling to multiple players.

So online mode has monsters that aren't harder than solo tanzia port?

Tanzia = Loc lac + the option to stay offline

Interesting. I took a look at Tanzia for a few moments before logging off, there's no hunter living space like in Loc Lac, at least none I could find, how am I gonna show off all the furniture I get? Unless I overlooked it?

It seems and feels so much smaller than Loc Lac is. It's like one strip and the guild area to sign up for a quest and that's it.

Okay so... the Village is offline solo/Story mode...

Port has 3 modes essentially...

Solo - You can bring Kayamba and Cha-Cha with you alongside your hunts, basically it's like village solo but with quicker access to monsters/ranks

Multi (Local Play) - You can connect with others with a 3DS and the 3DS version on MH3U for a total of four players, if you have 2 people you can bring a shakala companion, but only 4 characters are allowed

Network Mode -  Same as the Multi Mode, but you use the online features... (This mode isn't available on the 3DS version)

as far as I can tell on the HP/Attack Scaling... it isn't evident, Solo/Multi and Network Modes' Monsters all have the same HP and Attack for their corresponding Ranks. - I guess that's a flaw with having the game on a portable console with you soloing it most of the time and only meeting up with friends for your 'urgents' or something like that... and capcom were too lazy to be bothered to change that because of incompatibility  issues between platforms...

Hope this clears up some of the confusion for you.

Yeah, thanks. I appreciate it. Just a bit disappointing news as I adored MHFU difficulty, especially at G Rank which won't take me very long to reach once I reroll, next time I boot the game I'm checking my charm table via fish method, if it's not something good like 10, I'm not wasting time on the character as I'll easily go 150 to 300+ hours on this game if the gameplay is good. Don't wanna waste time on a character that's got a bad selection (Capcom needs to fire whoever designed that charm system vs the Tri version ).

Allow me to correct myself. I did some quick research and best way I can show you is by this youtube video.



This explains that village quest have the lowest health
Where as tanzai solo and multi monsters have the same health.

I am sorry for producing wrongful information about damage and monsters health. It was what I had read before and was informed of. My apologies.

Also I am sorry if posting this youtube video is against the rules, I tried just posting the link so it was not a direct link but I am not that snazzy at such things. If it is against the rules please inform me how to do the link properly and I will fix my post.

I'm also on table 9 and it's pretty good for gunners/bow users. After 600 hours got my first basic Handicraft+5 tali so yeah

I dunno what table I'm on, and I can't really be bothered finding out. I've only just hit G-Rank and I've collected a few fairly decent talismans already; without even looking for them or going on charm runs or whatever. Considering there are tens of thousands of different talismans available on each table (aside from the cursed ones IIRC) I don't think it really matters unless you wanna snipe a particular one.

Also something to add; the Tavern option as opposed to the Marina option when compared to Tri's online rooms is essentially cutting out the run past the various shops and instead warping straight to the quest counter. The Marina is like entering the room the normal way, and is where the forge is and such.

I don't know what table I'm in, and frankly, I don't really care, since pretty much all of them have some good talismans, and I'm not really into uberspecifics anyway.

But so far, my three best are:
Gloves Off +6/Flame Aura +11
Thunder Res +10
Expert+5/Dragon Res+3

But I suppose I'll get better/more ones when I hit G-rank, I guess.

Always just ahead of me, aren't you? Blahhh. I'm in HR Port quests. :V

Crystalis you're in table:

Spoiler:

Maybe you don't wanna know so i put spoiler here.

So where can I go to check the whole table? And I don't mean that table in the sticky with the Handicraft/Sharpness ones, because that only has Handicraft/Sharpness talis. :V

When I downloaded Athene's program, I got like 120 viruses and malicious files that I had to remove, so I'd rather not try that again.

That's odd, you sure you got it from the right place? I downloaded it just fine, and  I ran a malwarebytes (fully updated) and An AVG scan on it before opening and both scans came up 100% clean

I'm in table 4 i think. So far my best charms are guard up+5 000 and evasion+3 edgemaster+2.
It took me over 60 mining runs to get handicraft +4 however.
EDIT: i checked again and i'm in table 1.
