I've had headaches before while playing. I just drank more Pepsi :D . How do I get a Crown btw? :/

When we say "crown" or "gold crown", we are talking about the size of monsters (excludes monsters that don't change in size, like the Dire Miralis, or the Abyssal Lagiacrus). Once a monster is big enough (or small enough), it will show a silver crown next to the size at the end of the quest. If it's even larger (or smaller), it will display a gold crown next to the size.

Oh, then I've gotten lots of those. My first Baleful Gigginox was a Gold Crown. :P

I fought bravely for a long time to slay enough Altaroth for the 3 prized stomachs I needed... But I did it in the end! ;) Also got my purecrystals and finished my Duramboros Z Armour! It's dead cool, especially with the slime DS and Bombardier gemmed in ;)

I then fought a Narga in Moga woods to get the Narga Eye. I am trading with the captain to get heftcorn, you see! Awaken, bombardier and I'm hoping to gem in Destroyer as well... Gonna be absolutely devastating!

Anybody have any comment on the set? Full Duramboros Z, 3 slot talisman, +1evade gem (1), +10 bombardier (5). Anything better I could gem in?

Haven't been on here in a while. Hopped online with a friend and managed to farm up a full set of Barioth Z so I can start using Switch Axe again. Tomorrow is likely going to be me derusting.

Few things happened past days. I finished few sets on my 2nd character, got Handicraft+4 tali which i needed to make standard RS, S+1, CD, Focus GS set.

Than I hopped back to my 1st char, took an effort of making my old Tri Hammer set in 3U (Los Helm, Helios Mail & Vambraces, Vangis Coil & Greaves) because i become more and more bored with my current sets. After replacing Los Helm with Rath Soul Helm I acquire Razor Sharp, Partbreaker and Evasion+1. I'm using it with Ala/Narga Hammers which got natural purple so it exclude having S+1 on set. Also Narga hammer got 30% aff so it's like having CE+3 on a set. Although I know there're better sets out there, the look of Helios Mail from Tri is just priceless. And I'm kinda happy this set is still viable thx to natural sharpness of certain weapons.

Finally got my HR 600!

Congrats!  :D  Only 333 to go. While I sit at HR 3. I could've tooken out Brachy, but my first wipe out I got hit as soon as I got up, which is BS to me.. The second one I don't even remember.. The third one this damn Rhenoplos tackled me down and got me killed.(I get careless when they start to limp away.. So I got hit quite a few times). I didn't even get to carve his Tail.. /versad/

Saved da Moga village from Ceadeus with mah mighty Thunderclap! Time to conquer the High rank with mightier Barbrian Sharq

What's so special about the Crowns?

Ooo, interesting.. I think I may partake in this collection of le crowns.

If you do decide to, use G rank missions, and aim for advanced ones; those have a better chance at giving crowns, small and large, than regular missions (obviously regular ones can give them, too, but they tend to be less likely to give crowns). Also, I got some advice here that you may want to look at. It works for both small and large crowns, plus advanced and regular missions.

HAHA! Got my gold crown for Plesi. I hate farming that thing. Now it's time to take on the hardest quest in the game for that giant Green Plesi and my second-to-last gold crown.

^Congrats on the new crown, and good luck with that

Got my large gold crown for Lagia yesterday and finished upgrading a weapon, though I wasn't able to fit in as much hunting as I was hoping. When I counted, I found I have fifteen gold crowns left now, with most of them being large crowns... For the Green Plesioth and Stygian Zinogre both, I know there's a quest that definitely gives their large crowns. I just need to convince my brother to help me with both, among other missions, when I go home, since I've timed out on both said missions when I've tried to solo them >.>
For now, I'll be back to it. With only fifteen left, I'm feeling pretty happy with how this is going.

Did a few hunts today. Got rid of a lot of sets to make room for some Greatsword sets. Right now using a Sharpness +1, Speed Sheathe, Crit Draw, Focus, Tremor Res since I'm farming Savage. I've been doing pretty good evading through his roars so ear protection isn't needed for him these last awards are so boring to work for u_u

Failed Father and Son Outing runs all day. I got pretty far as a duo with one other person, but then they triple carted.

Hunted another Narga and a Brachy in Moga forest at lunch time. Got the Narga Eye and Big Obsidian 5 Star trade items, so I'll have enough to get 2 more Heftcorns and thus the Cornpopper Gunlance :D

Same thing happened last time my brother and I tried that (think we only tried once or twice, though), but, then again, he was refusing to cooperate with me in attacking the large one and carted due to trying to defeat the small one and getting hit by what should've been our target ">.>

Just when I thought it was too late to get any sort of crown, "Nerves of Steel" pulled through and gave me the large gold crown for Steel Uragaan last night... A bit ironic after I had noticed how much larger one of their chins was compared to the other one while they were standing chin-to-chin one moment in area seven, yet had disregarded this as meaning nothing >.>
I had done a good amount of hunting yesterday, reached HR 155, and ended the night well with that one crown for the day. Fourteen left now

You can always do regular G.Plessy to get crowns. It's really a pain to fight them on ground and hitboxes on Father are so broken that it's impossible to pierce-gun this thing. Or even gun/bow. I believe i haven't done this quest yet and my crowns comes from normal g. plessy quests. Taking down Father without good team is uber hard.

I'm probably going to have to farm regular green plesi. My team mates couldn't put out enough damage after I paralyzed it multiple times. I also tried poison and slime without any luck. That thing has too much HP for slime

Agreed. Best backup plan would probably be that double Green Plesioth advanced quest or the one with a green and regular one (if I'm recalling the available advanced quests correctly off the top of my head)... Been debating doing that double green one to try to get the large crown myself if my brother doesn't cooperate the next time we try to take down the "father" Plesioth. I'm sure we could, but I'll just have to either kill the "son" first with him so he'll just leave it be or talk him into just getting the father done with for me, what with him not trying to get the crown awards, anyway ">.>

Didn't get any crowns yesterday, but I did do a good amount of forging and ranked up to 159 before I called it quits for bed. Hoping today will lead to another six ranks and a crown.
