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

Is it any good? I have it fully uprgraded and used it against ala.... And I managed to take it down with it.....are there any other GS dragon weapons?

It's okay. It had great white sharpness in Tri so I was hoping for purple in this game but NO... the best dragon weapon for GS is Altheos Evolutia

Still didn't get any Jho crowns D:

I slew another Jho over lunch! Got the Fangdemonium Gunlance and wrecked him no problem

I'm goin to start hunting on port quests solo now. I need more of a challenge and I reckon I can face it I've also decided to stop abusing slime and use 'real' weapons ;)

so for a bit of good timing, not long after I started using LBG I picked up God's Isle... 'sweet' I think to myself, 'let's go upgrade this baby'.... only 40 odd earth crystals short... then another 99 earth crystals... sigh

but all done now, took it for a test run last night and had fun watching all the melee guys getting blown away from the monster now I just need to make up a decent clust / crag armor set then go give Ala what for

Dear Hunting Journal,
 
Wow when the veterans said that Tri was very narrow in its' quantity of content, they were serious. I get the impression that all MH's start very slow, and I'm glad that I'm finally picking up steam.
 
Over the weekend I made Volvi S armor and have managed to mix it well enough to have AUL, Evade+1, Tremor Res, and Trapmaster. Very soon Trapmaster will be switched for Sheathing due to an awesome tali I picked up while farming ores. I will, also, very soon have all basic element lances (Li, Fi, Wa, Ice) upgraded to blue sharpness. Being so used to Purp sharp from Tri, I never thought I'd be so happy to see blue sharp.
 
Also, had a run in with jho on a C Peco Quest. Broke away to remind him who he's dealing with. Despite Lancing having a very different rhythm in this MH, especially Evade Lancing, I laid it to him pretty well. As soon as I have his quest available, Jho armor will be easy to aquire. Definitely looking forward to that.
 
I'm pretty amazed at how aggressive Cha-Cha and Halelujah are with their False Felyne and False Melynx masks, respectively. They're actually somewhat violently useful.
 
Hope to see more of you guys online eventually.

I still haven't got to G rank... but if this video is a preface of things to come... then I'm still happy in High Rank.

The fangdemonium gunlance is awesome. I have been destroying monsters all over the place with it!

The shots on it seem really powerful. Is that to do with the level of the shot? (Level 4 normal)

I think the shot lvl refers to the Wyvern Fire?

No, I believe it refers to the gunlance shelling system. You have normal, Narrow, and Wide, Wide is generally the most favored and a higher number means a more potent shot. I could be wrong, I haven't gunlanced since Unite.

FINALLY, I was able to get my 3 Long Fragments last night. I made the Artisan Greaves X which finally let me make a Bushido set, and a Rising Tempest set. Also, made an Adrenaline set for The Willuminator xD I tested it on a poor Low-Rank Village Uragaan with ADR+2/Heroics activated..died in 7 shots ^.^

Yeah, shot level goes for the shelling.
And for Wyvern Fire, too.

Got 2 of those rare comodities that the Ivory Lagi drops.

From a post on Miiverse, it seems like the next event quest is the last event quest.

;_; Already?

Still farming through High Rank right now. Always have a silly fear of facing the new monster but will pick up the courage eventually. Looking at you baleful..

Dear Hunting Journal,

Today was very fun and productive. Jho decided to come and die on a C. Peco quest, delivering two talons. I was formally introduced to Brchydios, Zinogre, and Nargacuga in the village. Cussed at the TV a little during those hunts, especially Zinogre.

Got the mats from Blos that I needed to add Sheathing to my Volvi S set, and fought an I. Lagi for the first time, which I loved,!! He had some tricky moves, but we dealt with him.

Finished the morning off with HR Port Boros for a food upgrade.

Good Times!!

Please no... God please NO!

I hunted online last night with a few cool guys. One of them was a guy called Justin, who I will try and hunt with again, and JHunger, who was pretty cool too Now I just have to work out the friend system on WiiU, after friend requesting them.

We killed a steel Uragaan, Jhen Moran, Black Diablos and we tried to kill a Goldbeard but one of the guys carted thrice due to his eerily accurate waterbeam... That Ceadeus has a homing sensor!

Really, really loving my GL at the moment :') The dead monsters... So beautiful!

Oh my god cycling for rusted fragments with that one kelbi horn delivery quest is soooooo boring, and why are rusted fragments sooooooo rare.

also...

I KNOW THIS IS THE 3U SECTION BUT I JUST KILLED VILLAGE LAO SHAN WITH THE UN-UPGRADED BLACK BOW WITH 3 MINUTES LEFT ON THE CLOCK AND WITHOUT HEROICS. I AM NOW YOUR BOW GOD. BOW (pun intended) TO ME.

I didn't play too much today, but when I did I decided I'm going to start doing Adrenaline runs. Which means a lot of set changing. So far I have a set for Normal gunning, (let me know what you think) Adrenaline+2, Critical Eye+3, Normal Up, Earplugs.

Though i should stay on task and go for my last 3 awards....im getting sidetracked as always ^.^

Finally got the Argosy License award last night, found the list of all the rare trade items a few days ago so had just been waiting for Rathalos and Barroth to show in the village... los finally showed then 2 'days' later barroth did

Now I'm all stocked with trade items I'll just have to wait for the capt to show again so I can get the 'all masks / dances', 'poogie outfits' and 'furnishings' awards

Dear Hunting Journal,

Today I decided that Cha-Cha's False Felyne Mask was designed to temper one's temper for on-line play. While I do appreciate the good chunk of damage he usually does using this mask's particular abilities, he never fails at detonating his bombs and sending me flying at the precise moments that I am laying good aggro to a mob.

Likewise, during on-line play, I always seem to take it in the ass from a LS or DS player or take a flight from a GS or SwAx just as I start to lay good aggro in. It is aggravating, but thanks to FF Cha-Cha, I get through it better.

They always decide to choose the spot on a downed monster where I am already lancing ._.

Exactly!! Honestly, how hard is it to move 2 feet further down on the Mob to not serial interrupt. If they thought it through, and/or understood damage mechanics, I doubt that they would do it. Lance has extremely good dps!
