Hunting Journal

First topic message reminder :

well, first day of hunting. got a lot done.

fought my way all the way to lagiacrus, on the port I just defeated rathian

finished all the advanced quests, nao i gotta finish the 8* stuff and done the normal missions /ok/ /ok/ 

and I now have only a couple of adv quests left to do, managed to clear hr8 before 6 and 7. Now I'm having to wait for the few quests I'm missing to be available, am often getting those two levels green ticked :/

Most of the advance quest seem a bit redundant.

finished all the arena quests and 8* quests /rock/ 

dont think i can put up with getting the other awards, some are too dumb for me to worry about. anyone know the HR level around which you get the 1mil HR award?

It's around HR125, I think.

Got my earrings today.

k nice, im at around 110 so should be reasonable

also want to grab some status SnSes and try out hunting horn, so i still have more to do in the game :D

Got dark dragongem and cloudy moonshard pretty easy today Now all i need is a. lagi dynamo, to finish set. Killed 8 A. lagi so far, no sign of it j__j But i'm grateful for that bloody cloudy moonshard.

What does one do when you have to go to a family reunion in North Carolina and you live in upstate New York? Well, it's a 13-hour drive, so...

It's been a while already, and I hardly remember where I started, which was the village HR Rathalos urgent. Did that, and then I decided I needed better armor, because grinding would be hard with just LR Wroggi. So, I went and made the HR Wroggi set.

That's cool, but it still takes me a decent amount of time to kill stuff. Well, I went to go upgrading my weapons. So, with the 8* quests open, I went through the key quests and then started grinding a lot of materials that I would need, including the rest of the LR ones. Then Brachydios comes along, and he hurts. I wasn't really in the mood for doing (rather difficult) 30-minute runs with my lovely Barbarian Blade to get the Slime weapons, so I just bided my time. And the 9* quests. Finally, the place where I could farm the large monsters and really start working on my weapons. Zinogre hunts are actually really fun to me, and I had no problem doing several runs for materials. Nargacuga is also manageable, but not as fun and more concentration-intensive, but I did get a lot of materials from that as well. At this point, I have a lot of weapons that are finally up to par, but I still need more. I just went through the rest of the key quests, enraging as they might be (I'm looking at you, Black Diablos). As of right now I'm sitting on an Ivory Lagiacrus urgent and missing only a couple of items for a few upgrades to weapons, and I still have my HR Wroggi armor set maxed out up to the Hvy Armor Spheres.

I also now have 8 Wyvern Stones, wtf? Can't complain, though I do wish the one Stone I got from Nargacuga was a second Medulla.

^Wyvern Stones are so common in this game.

As for my hunts - i really love cha-cha in Mock Melynx mask. Yesterday he gave me Dark Dragongem, Cloudy Moonshard and two A. Lagi Dynamo! Fisnished my Honed Blade set easily and than focus on getting hardhorns for Nether Lance. Got 2 hardhorns in 1 quest and made that lance, so overall it was great day. Also finished my Turban Shell (water Hunting Horn) awakening set.

Than i solo Savage. With evade+1 it is so easy that it's a bit of shame... the only problem is his belly which reflects white sharpness :/ I need to upgrade nether lance to it's final form, or just replace guard+1 on my set with Mind's Eye...

Finished all quests yay! Now for those dang rewards.

Tried more clashing fists. No bueno. Absolutely hate this quest with randumbs =/ considering they had problems with cruel king/hades this shouldn't surprise me but ehhhhhh it's still disheartening seeing nubs cart left and right.

Just hunted the heck out of barioth for some spike, got amber tusks (8) left and right but spikes were elluding me (dang you desire sensor!)

Made the Icicle Fang, an am about to start huntin ght heck out of C. Peco for Peco U armor.

Welp, I did one Nargacuga run, and I ended up getting the Medulla I needed from the tail carve.

Then in the rewards I got a second from the head break and then 2 Wyvern Stones. ._.

Hoo boy, I had a terrible time with Nargacuga. I had my trusty Earplugs gunner armor set (Selene Helm, Selene Vest, Selene Guards, Selene Coat, Alloy Leggings S) it served me well....except for the fact that Nargacuga is one fast mofo. Holy crap, I kept getting off guard.

I ran out of most of my ammo, and just when I thought I was gonna die and lose the quest, Kayamba killed the sucker! A sigh of relief was had

Getting tired of hunting C-Peco.

dont get me wrong I like fighting the monster. Im tired of the fact that the only thin ghe summons is Jho... which can kill me in three-five hits. /mad/ summon a rath, or g jaggi. Guess that jus the way that misison is set up.  

Still need 2 more volt stones to upgrade the lagi GS.

farming slickaxes to finish the combination list is such a waste of time -_-

Firpi, do the 2 C-Peco Arena. They can't summon there (I think...).

Slickaxes are a pain, specially if you are not used to doing "Explorer" food combinations before going on hunts. I had the habit of always doing these, because I liked picking up extra stuff on my hunts. Having a lot of slickaxes to show was just a bonus in my case.

hmm didint think of that since I never go to the port.
Ill have to try it. Thanks.

Umm... just in case, I didn't mean "Arena Quest"... I meant, there are quests at the port that send you to hunt 2 C-Peco... I don't remember if it's available for high-rank, or if there is an equivalent.

If you have never been to the port, it will take you forever to get to that rank anyways...

Actually, three of them, not two. [Advanced] Crimson Crisis, hunt 3 Crimson Qurupeco in the Volcano (unstable, Stygian Zinogre). It's a 7* Port quest.

The arena quest and the DLC quest are for one regular Qurupeco and one Crimson Qurupeco.

bring slickaxe and stuff to quest, combine, abandon; bring other stuff, repeat; abandon doesnt reset the combo list

Oooooh good idea bro

7* port... yeah.... Iguess ill just stick to bye bye bloom.

thanks anyways guys.

I just hit 8* villiga quests last night.
HOLY MOLEY! I did not remember plesioth being that hard in the earlierl games. The tail spin was   cause it could hit me no matter shere I was.

I might be overreacting but I am thrilled and happy to have finished my Gold Rathian blademaster set today.

Lol, it's a decent set. If you want a capture/good luck set, I'd recommend the Gold Ian waist with Plessi X armor and a Fate gem will get you some great skills.
