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

Today I fought my first Duramboros and it took forever. Seriously, nearly 40 minutes. It certainly seemed like I was doing plenty of damage, but there was a point where I got so bored of hitting him, that I almost gave up.

At least that unlocked some monsters I've never fought before, so that is something.

Slowly grinding my way to 999. Pretty much gave up on crowns and agrosy awards.

have been doing the broken shell method for res points, sitting at 600K res, 2M zenny and HR 220, over all a good day of hunting :3

I'm curious now, but how does this method work? Feel free to pm me about it, 'cause this is starting to sound like a pretty good idea to me ">.>

Going to be Plesioth and Uragaan hunting for materials to convert to resource points. When my brothers get home from school, I may try to get the one with MH to team up with me for Jhen runs for a while, too.

I'll PM you.

on topic: played offline a little bit last night showing my cousin Abyssal and Lucent, for someone that has never seen MH before, he about shat himself when I cut the tails off lol

I think i'm getting used to status gunning. Hope to break HR500 mark today. Agnaktor small crown farming failed again. Killed +/-100 of them. I dunno why i encounter only big ones... got big crown few times but no small one... this is like insult cause it's my last small crown to obtain :| Finding agna city is also rare so I think I focus on grinding.

@TheLaw: Thx for tips but i got it yesterday either way

So right now i have miniature crown award and only left are Agrosy license and King's Crown (only 4 big monsters left - peco, barroth, ian and Jho).

Also hit HR500 yesterday so i'm halfway to 999 i guess.

Man, only 200 people online on G Rank servers yesterday. Ouch. At least Free servers have 600 people in them.

Spent all of Saturday afternoon/evening charm sniping. After awhile, I finally got my Handicaft +5, Free Element +7. Not sure I'll ever be able to not charm snipe when trying to get my charms now that I've tried charm sniping.

Finally got round to making Rheo Agnacorso. I'm truly sick of Glacial now x__x
Up next I guess is farming some G Alatreon, Silver Rathalos, Zinogre and Green Narga.
So much fun ahead..

I just started G Rank :D



Yay!

I am just getting ready to fight the Cadeus for the first time in 3U. I can't decide which weapon to go in with, since I am pretty terrible at fighting Cadeus. Lance just seems like it will be too slow to catch up to him in that long part where he is swimming. Maybe I will just continue along with the hunting horn.

Also, I've been trying out gunning recently. I miss the tri system, where you had to build your guns. Yeah it was expensive and at times time consuming, but it was nice to get the ammo options you wanted. Also, I feel like I'm doing less damage than I used to in tri, but that could be because I'm out of practice.

Anyway, it has been sort of fun going back through the moga village quests. I used to primarily gs and gun in tri, so it is nice to branch out. I was always crap with a hammer, so maybe I will give that a try next.

You know... There are a lot of games out and coming out but regardless.. I always think about MH and keep wanting to play it. So I always make time at least once a week (or more if I can) to do a hunt... And I realize... I don't think any other game ever gets me as excited as Monster Hunter.

You should do fine with the lance. First area focus on his beard, depending on your weapon you should get a break, or very close to one. The next area he is going to swim to fast for you to get any attacks, if your in the right spot u can hit the tail a few times, and if your brave you can hit him as he is preparing to break the wall.

In the final area this is where most of the fight will take place. What I do is use the ballistas to take out a horn. then any remainding shots i shoot the beard if not broken. Use the Dragonator when you get the chance. Constant damage is the key. I used the lance the first time and beat it around 20-25 minutes.

I know what you mean! I keep buying and playing games for a while, and then I get bored and then I think: I wish there was a new monster hunter coming out. I guess that is what sparked me to pick up 3U. It is essentially the same game as tri, but I just really wanted to play Monster Hunter. I have enjoyed playing lots of games, but I love playing monster hunter.

And thanks for the Cadeus tips. I know I've been procrastinating, and trying to finish all of the available hunts before I give it a try. I think I will go with the lance on the first run.

Took a couple months break from MH, Came back to see what was new, and saw the "Greatest Hunter" DLC. Even after being out of practice, beat it on my first try ^_^.

Started a new Character to try out Lancing. Enjoying my second playthrough of the game. Not going online, and will solo everything in town, including the Alatreon. I might then do port quests.

Cadeus is done. It went alot better than I thought it would.

Now on to high rank and the Misty Peaks. I'm excited about seeing a new area!

Fought the Black Diablos fo rthe first time last night. It was FUN!

Well, I feel particularly awesome today. I and two other hunters have beaten the quest called The Greatest Hunter, which I guess is a pretty hard quest for the unskilled and unprepared.

When did this quest come out? Been awhile since I looked at the event quests. What monsters are in the quest?
