The Question Hotline

First topic message reminder :

ceadeus tail.... been farming for them and only got two (from the repel only quest)

in the decisive battle, I've broken his tail numerous times and never got a tail.... (do i actually have to go to the tail and carve????)

(got deep dragon gem almost very time..... and 2 elderdragon blood in one run too...)

or does the repel only quest (save moga village) have a higher drop rate???

MAJOR BAD LUCK?

Hey, here's another bowgunning question: what's a practical way to use Normal S LV3?

Aim at a monster, hope it bounces at it, instead of away?

I think you're better off with 2, you oughta be able to get more shots=more dps. If you have to use it, try and shoot at a monsters bigger parts. More chance of it bouncing the right direction than when you aim for the horns or the tail.

when you send the fishhing fleet to 4 and 3 star areas, they bring back eggs and stuff, but is it worth it compared to farming for fish?

Thats because u have to make the furnishings from the cat at the entrance of the city

im trying to make money on tri cuz i was really poor. (only 5000z)
well tonight, i decided to start farming for money, so i did the luddy cap quest a ton, sold unneeded monster parts, and low rank equipment (barroth, gigginox, and rathian) that i didnt think i would need anymore.
this got me around 70,000z
i couldnt really do the stormsender seed farming, because i needed to restock on gunpowder, toadstools, dragon toadstools, godbugs, bitterbugs, etc.
i then went to the woods to get 4 star commodities and wyvern gold(which i sold 3 for 16500z) for chacha's felyne mask and a fleet upgrade.
so afterwards i just did a TON of ludroth cap quests, and i ended up earning a total of 200,000z (with everything else), but it took me 3-4 hours.
so is the aanyway to get money more efficiently?
(i'll pprobably just lose it all on HR armor and weapons)

The way most people make money is by doing the stormseed farming in conjunction with the ludroth cap quest offline, they do this because you can convert the materials from R.lud into resources to continue farming when you are low, and because you can cap ludroth quickly and easily(my record is 50 seconds, and there are alot better ones) and sell any of his materials that you dont need. So i would suggest just continuing to farm while doing that quest until you have the all materials you need, then switching to stormsender seeds. It is the time proven strategy.

if you want actual numbers, its 4000 for each quest you do (not counting subs), plus an average of 3510 per cycle of stormsender seeds, plus the money you get from selling all the ludroth parts. add them together to get an average of 7510 per cycle. multiply this by 10 (the max number of farming cycles) and you get an average of 75100 in about 20 minutes, not counting the money you get from selling the ludroth parts.

I hope you enjoyed this wasnt too much info lol.

sorry if this is a stupid question but is there a difference between over forge and high rank?

Yes there is a difference. Overforging refers to using HR parts to upgrade you LR gear. This way keeps the slots and skills of the LR armor but give you HR defense. HR armor will have different slots and skill points but the same defense when fully upgraded.

this set is... possible?
I think... maybe

adren+2
AuL
fortify
evade+1/2
sharp+1

leave off teh fortify if it doesnt work @.@

Ive got this work in progress set from when i was trying to make a similar set http://divinewh.im/s/3.I_1f.H.1U_1h_1a_1g_1p_1A.j.1S

I havnt really had time to finish it but i hope it will help, and i will keep working at it when i have time.

Best I came up with... No fortify, Attack Up S only, uses a god tali, uses a two slot weapon D:

http://divinewh.im/s/2.s.H_1b_1l_19.u_1g_1p_1A.j.1S

Stupid question:

Are God Talis just Dragon talis that are particularly awesome or is there something called a God Tali in-game?

god-tali is a nickname for stupidly rare charms with "perfect" distribution of points and slots. the "evade god-tali" (or god-charm) is an evade +7 tali with 2 slots, meaning it can get you 10 points in evade whitout any aid from the armor. another one is the crit draw+7 tali with 2 slot and so on...

any one know where i can get a list of the weapon paths?

With this, you'll need 7 points from your charm, but after slots.

Hey guys, a pretty noobie question coming... which element is better against Barroth: Fire or Water? Assuming that you have A Water SnS and Fire SnS with the exact same elemental power.

EDIT: also, is it worth it to make the Bloodguilty Maw barrel? I got one Fearsome Maw left over after upgrading my Gobuluku Muraaka and for the life of me, I don't know what to do with it (The Gigginox armor are only good against Gigginox, so no thank you)

It's probably better to use water against barroth. Fire only works when the mud is off, and by that point, Barroth is probably almost dead. And there's the danger that he'll just go and roll, restoring it. Barroth's weakness to water is also 5 higher on every hitzone.

It's not bad to use fire, but i reccomend using it with a weapon that you'll use to aim at one exact point throughout the fight, like the Hammer.

Regarding the bloodguilty maw, i say make it. It's not too good, but i'm fairly sure it's usable in some Bowgun setups, and it's funzy for rapidfire status. Gaan hates it /versad/. You'll need some maws for stuff in high rank, but high rank Giggle drops them quite easily.

Thanks for the answer. There isn't anything I want that requires Fearsome Maw (the Gigginox+ Armor is even crappier than in term of default skill pool than the LR one) so I guess i'll go ahead with the Bloodguilty Maw.

Once again, Thank You

EDIT: Another question (Sorry). Should I go ahead trying to get High Seigmund? I mean, High Seiglinde (P) has identical Raw to High Seigmund, more slot, and higher Blue Sharpness without Sharpness +1 (Which I'm not going to get on any GS sets I made until I get Vangis). The only thing H. Seigmund do better is Affinity, which doesn't matter since I'm using Crit Draw skill anyway and I'm seriously tempted to just go on and leave it gathering dust.

go for high sieglinde, real win over siegmund if you have crit draw

now a super noob question.. wait for it.. what does "DPS" stand for?

Damage Per Second.

It basically shows your 'realistic' damage, compared how things may seem. It's like this: The GS does amazing damage per hit, but it hits VERY slowly. Let's say, a GS hits every second for 100 damage. An Sns does 25 damage, so it seems that the GS is better. But the SnS hits 5 times a second, so 25x5=125>100.

Get it?
