Hunter armor only challenge

My topic title is "Hunter armor only challenge."

What it is is to go as far as you can go, wearing only Hunter armor (and the auto-guard talisman if you have it.)

Also, I will allow you to upgrade the armor via Armor Spheres, but do not change into other armor.

It's actually a great challenge - the game IS called "Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, after all!

I'll try this tonight.

I just thought of two changes to the rules of this challenge:

When you reach High Rank, I will let you wear the High-Rank Hunter armor set, but again, only the Auto-Guard talisman.

I forgot to mention that you will be allowed to gem the Hunter armor.

Maybe I propose that with the set you should specify what skills to gem in? to add to the challenge, as when you say gemming, you don't have a particular skill you want to use, just thought it may prove more of a challenge specifying a particular skill to gem.

I didn't upgrade the armor but used Myxo Demolisher GS, and beat G-Rank Rathalos, Rathian, Nargacuga, Green Nargacuga, and Agnaktor. Then I got destroyed by Black Diablos and rage quit xD

Wow!

I just restarted, hoping to spice up the game with this challenge - and I have!

Currently, I am on Trial of the Sea Dragon (level 5 urgent - repel the Lagiacrus.)

Yes, I am still wearing my Hunter's Armor set - upgraded to level 4 (I said you could upgrade it.)

However, my chosen weapon is still my good ol' hammer - gotta love knockouts. However, when I get to HR, I plan to make the HR Hunter's Armor set, also - it is still Hunter's Armor, isn't it?

It was pretty fun. Naked runs are more challenging though. /ok/

Well I have a spare file and a fair amount of time to kill, I need to get better at evading anyway so this will give more risk to my actions, a great way to hone evasiveness, next to doing naked runs anyway.
I guess that I'll probably get to fighting the Lagiacrus before getting electrocuted to death.

I am currently to:

The four-star Rathian hunt
and
The four-star Gigginox hunt

I'm currently up to the Gobul fight but I've been getting my main character up to HR 4 and trying to get him to HR 5.

I didn't know we were supposed to restart. I just bought the armor and did some G-Rank quests.

Subject: Re: Hunter armor only challenge Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:21 pm

I'm not sure if it is but I just restarted as I had a spare file in need of usage, ask Jake when he comes back if restarting is needed or not.
Considering your doing G-rank quests with Hunter armour I'm pretty sure you'd get further than us anyway.

Sorry about the long disappearance.

(I've been replaying Skyrim.)

Restarting would not be necessary - just make the best version of the Hunter's Armor you can and go for it.

BTW, you can upgrade to the High Rank and G-Rank versions when they become available. Plus, gemming is allowed.
