Legends of Equestria - Forum

Well i started playing on the 3 DS if anybody wants to join the fun the game has to offer, just say so :3

Let's group here and exchange friendcodes for questing together!

No talking about the weapons here!

Ps.: What's your favourite monster? Mine's still Rathalos

Let's just make this a general Monster Hunter thread.

Just pay attention to rule 7 of this forum board, we can't mention some of the weapon types. You might already know them. The last thread got canned for this.

Yeah, I'am aware. Just searching for some good people for the game.
I keep it simple so that nothing happens.

Though my first game in this series was MH3U, Zinogre is still my all-time favorite.

Anyway, I don't really have any decent stuff at the moment, but I would like to play with you all at one point.

I remember that guy. I didn't think he'd be as quick as he was. I stepped out of the area and just sat there stunned.

My favorite monster is probably Gigginox or Rathalos.

Zinogre isn't that quick, honestly (unless you got caught up in the triple punch combo).

Spoiler: show

Tigrex is a lot worse... Not only does it hit hard, but you can easily be comboed by anything it does since it hardly lets you have any breathing room, especially if you're alone in the area.

I always have my Shakalaka companions. Does that count as not being alone?

You're mixing up games...

We aren't talking about 3?

Sorry. I haven't played 4 yet. Not enough space on my memory card. I'm picking up a bigger one tomorrow.

Zinogre IS in 3 and 4, but Tigrex is only in 4 (when you disregard the past games, anyway; for the record, I know both are returning monsters from even before 3/3U/3G).

Did they return Gigginox? I really like him.

They didn't, but there's an equally scary (if not, worse-looking) monster that replaces it.

I'll give it a chance. But I don't think it'll be as special as Gigginox.

It's not, honestly. In fact, it's a lot easier compared to Gigginox.

Who is it? I'll see if I actually like it.

Nah, it's not looking as great as Gigginox. Maybe the fight will be better, and I could chalk it up to that at least.

Okay, I learned my lesson, not talking about the weapons.
My favourite monster (for now)...Agnaktor!
But I'm looking forward to a particular Elder Dragon.

Something called the Kirin. According to my friend, it's a lightning unicorn!

What I want to know is how does Gigginox drop Wyvern Tears? It has no eyes, how can it cry?  :s

The same reason why Khezu can drop them, too: because videogame logic :P

I hate those two so much. Gigginox I hate when it's laying its gross egg-things, and Khezu because SO MUCH THUNDER. (Also those teeth. "shudder")

That's not good enough for me! I didn't think I'd have to do this in a video game! But I must apply


SCIENCE!

Naaaah, too lazy, just want to play some good ol' Monster Hunter.

Just a heads up: the first (free) DLC aside from the Starter Pack will be available on March 6 which will contain The Legend of Zelda (rather, Link) stuff plus more.

Personally, I'm waiting for the Metroid one :P (Sorry, you'll have to look up a list of all the crossover DLC yourself.)

Ooh, I'd been waiting for this thread to show up! I have no favorite monsters yet, but I'm really enjoying my first MH game! Nerscylla's armor set is quite lovely, and the weapon with the Kinsects makes me feel like a Dragoon from Final Fantasy! :3

Wait, so the Master Sword in Cheeko Sands is LITERALLY going to sit there and troll me for six more days untill I can get it?!
But yeah, I want the Metroid DLC. Ironically, the two I'm looking forward to the most are from games I haven't even played, which is the Mega Man and Dante Palicoes.

Oh yeah about the Kirin^^ I'm a veterian in MH games. He had appearances in the games before already. For his size he can quite take away some hits

Edit: YOO Nerscylla-Set i have it too^^

Ugh... Playing with randoms is horrible... Like 10 times I've went on HR3 Urgent Quests... and each time everyone left when it was my turn ._.

This is rather foolish, and I'm surprised I forgot this. But my absolute favorite monster is the Brachydios, it's just such a fascinating monster. Does it appear in the 4th?

It does, though (obviously) they made him a bit harder. (Frenzy version is definitely not beginner-friendly...)

I like Brachydios too. Also on a slightly differant topic, does anyone have a favourite character from the game? Like, say, the Caravaneer or The Guildmarm?

Marmy, for sure! 0:)

I honestly don't pay enough attention to the NPCs.

Guild Sweetheart, the Village Chief, or his son.

Could not care less for these npcs. Just speed through their endless talking...

I actually don't have one either...

You know i hate those random players that kill the monster when you have the quest to capture it.

btw my friendcode is 3582-9778-4052 if you want to add me for playing currently on jr3 with quest to jr4

I finally hunted the Kirin.
It was awesome.
But now me and my friend have a problem; I hunted it and unlocked a bunch of Kirin weapons. My friend did it, and only unlocked the Insect Glaive. What's with that?

You need the required items for them; if even one particular item wasn't obtained (this even applies to ores, bugs, and other stuff you can gather, including drops from other monsters), it won't show up. Same principle applies for all the other equipment.

AHHHH! Thank you! That's why I'm missing so much Seregios stuff!

I found my favorite monster... Zinogre! :3

I just hunted the Stygian Zinogre (is that even a real word?).
Sometimes I wish we could save replays; I was hunting a Purple Gypseros online, and it started limping. It jumped and started to fly away, but one vault with the glaive finished it off before it could get away :)

Apparently it is. It means very dark. Huh, I learn something new every day.

Lol Imagine if they went with that.
Hunt a Very Dark Zinogre.
Nowhere near as threatening.
Anyway...spoiler for the final boss of the solo quests. And this is a rant, so beware, lots of caps.

Something similer happened in 3U: My friend has maybe more than THREE BRACH PALLIUMS, AND NOTHING TO USE THEM ON!!!

OK, so we hunt a S. Zinogre. I need umbrage from it. WHAT DOES MY FRIEND, WHO DOESN'T NEED AN UMBRAGE, GET?!
Ok, then we fight Shagaru Megala to boost my friend's rank. We demolish it, so now it's my turn to do the quest.
WE'VE FAILED THREE TIMES NOW. Oh, but at least I get a plate. AND MY FRIEND GETS A PHOSGEM.
He then proceeds to tell me he's hunted 7 High Rank Gore Megala, and got THREE NIXGEMS WHEN HE ONLY NEEDED ONE!!

I need a Beach Pallium and 5 more glowing slimes to upgrade my weapon, to it's last stage. But it's not giving me a Pallium!!

Should I get this game? The demo was fun, but I want some opinions from people who have played the full game.

DEFINITELY buy it, but only if you have a bit of patience.

Farming at the beginning is much easier but later ingame it gets more difficult as everything you build mostly needs a lot of other materials too that you can't only farm from one monster or area

Quote from: Sakura_Blossom on 2015 Mar 06, 06:53:51
Should I get this game? The demo was fun, but I want some opinions from people who have played the full game.

The series is a massive "grind this monster this many times" fest when going after materials for equipment since there isn't a level up system (at least for you; your companions on the singleplayer side level up in the traditional RPG sense, though) which IS very repetitive, but if you set goals for yourself, it's actually not that bad. And there are some monsters that you probably might like for one reason or another (looks, being challenging, etc.). Although playing solo will help you learn how to play, the biggest highlight is being able to play with friends (of course).

Speaking of which, when my friend introduced me to Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U/3DS, though I got the Wii U one first since that version was the only one with online play out of the two), it was kinda a bland solo experience for me at first... That completely changed when I started playing with others online. Granted, it's not exactly a MMORPG experience, it still definitely changed my opinion about the game.

So... yeah. Although this series isn't for everyone, the online experience definitely makes it worthwhile (or at least, gives you a reason to keep playing). If you're truly dedicated, you can easily put over 300 hours into a save file.

EDIT: The Link DLC is now out! Be warned that it's a 7 Star Quest (equivalent to G Rank) even despite the minimal requirement being HR4.

Well, I've decided that I've done enough in 3, so I'm replacing it with 4 by backing up it's saves to make space. Now I'm just waiting until it's downloaded.

The moment when you want to farm a certain ingredient, you get even rarer loot that you dont need right now...

want the rathalos plate...

no game gives ya the ruby >.<

Does anyone know where to get Novacrystal? I NEED that Clockwork Glaive.

High and G Rank Frozen Seaway have the most opportunities (Areas 3, 4, 5, and 6 as well as the secret area if you start at it either by luck or via the Felyne Explorer food skill).

Thank you. The Glaive will be mine!

So, does that farm mechanic from the previous game return? It's going to be extremely tedious to keep going out to get materials.

Yes, it's a person this time. And it's much more helpful this time.

There's one catch: the items used to get more out of the item you want to duplicate are completely different.

Well, I'm up to the point where I've hunted the Tetsucabra. Great game so far. Much better beginning than MH3U.

For those who care about your Palicoes, DON'T DISMISS ONE AT THE PALICO BOARD :(

Why? Is there a glitch or something?

No, it's just (what I thought as) a sad scene ;~; (Well... if you choose Yes, anyway. If you choose No, it's actually more lighthearted.)

Joy. I hate it when games have dismiss/leaveing scenes...

Urgh... frenzied B.Tigrex is horrible... Even worse than the raged "endgame" boss...

The endboss was pretty easy, I was kinda surprised that I didnt got hit as often as I thought I would

I just started playing this, with no prior experience with any of the previous games. Is there anything I should know for late in the game, or game mechanics that I should know?

Not really. The game gives you all the info you need to know possibly more in depth than the last game.

Anyways. I'm just about to start the mission to hunt the 5-star Frenzied Tigrex. It's not going to be pretty, is it?

Will my usual tactic of jumping and attacking with my Glaive that I always use ( It's surprisingly effective for every other large monster I fought) work?

Not sure, honestly. It kept moving a lot for me and only rested when it got hungry.

I think I will save up money for this game.

Well, I beat Frenzied Tigrex.

To be honest, it wasn't as difficult as the first Gore Magala fight. I didn't even get knocked out once....

Just wait till you have to fight Tigrex's subspecies frenzied...

And down goes Shagaru.

I loved this fight more than Ceadeus, but Ceadeus had some awesome pre-battle moments. Sure Shagaru had some too, but I felt Ceadeus had a more awesome build up.

The game doesn't end here^^

I know. Just like Ceadeus, Shagaru was the final boss of the low level missions.

I feel Shagaru didn't have as much build-up, but an AWESOME fight. Ceadeus, on the other hand, had a load more build up, then lead into a fight that had (in my opinion) one of the most BORING first phases of a boss fight I've ever seen. Kinda killed the whole fight for me.
I wish Dire Miralis was back...

YOU GET IT!

I never fought Miralus myself. Honestly, I didn't see it as worth it. I'm not going to fight that Green Narcagagua again. I'm just not doing it.

Dire Miralis is one of those gigaaaaaaaaaanitc boss fights where although it looks like the monster is moving slowly, it's actually doing tons of (possible) damage. The music that plays during its fight is pretty epic, though :D

I'm hoping the end multiplayer boss has epic music. My friend's fought it.

What's everyone's HR? I want to know what I should raise it to if we ever hunt together.

I'm G Rank. :P

Would've been G Rank, but real life problems happened. That, and I've been too focused on upgrading my equipment instead of trying to advance AND helping friends raise their HR as well.

At the very least, I'm at the 8 star Urgent Quest on Caravan and HR6.

wow what the "screamer" this tigrex

edit: well now to the zinogre  ovO
edit2: there goes the zinogre

Bleh, can't get a good group to help me finish the HR 2 urgent mission to hunt a Gore Magala. Maybe I'll do it myself, besides, it's just a Gore Magala, can't be THAT difficult.

The Rajang is not a good monster. The Rajang should not exist. It's just a stupid Congalala upgrade (which is already an annoying fight) that tries to rip off Zinogre but FAILS. (I don't know if its a returning monster though) Oh, and it's loaded with a stupidly powerful and cheap laser attack. Forget this thing. >:O

You don't know if Zinogre returned? Wasn't he 1 of 3 targets before the low-rank Frenzied Tigrex?

No, I meant the other monster in the rant. I don't know if that thing is new or not.

Oooohhh. Ok.

Yea, it's a returning monster. It originated from Monster Hunter 2.

Joy. I haven't played any other MH games apart from 3U, so I don't really know what's returning and what's not.

Me neither, I just decided to look it up. Got nothing else to do right now....

I've been alternating between Caravan and Guild, so if anyone needs any help with Urgents, I'm up for it. (Not like I'll be reaching G Rank/Caravan 10 anytime soon, anyway.)

I could help you with ranking up if you want

Maybe after I eat lunch. There's some off-game stuff I need to do first.

I'll handle Gore myself. If it's too difficult I might get some help.

Nah, S. is in one area that's mostly level. Where Gore can fly around and the terrain can be a disadvantage.

I'm G rank level 2

Just got HR 4

Focused on getting stuff upgraded before I advance any further. Kinda annoying when you have to farm an Expedition Treasure Area-only item/Expedition-only monster...

Okay, me and my friend were more than a little bit shocked when we fought a certain powerful Elder Dragon online...

MH3U's was:

• HR 1-2 for Low


• HR 3-5 for High


• HR 6+ for G

MH4U's is:

• HR 1-3 for Low


• HR 4-7 for High


• HR 8-10 is actually G1-G3


• Certain milestones seem to give you a different crown after beating the G3 Urgent

On another note, MH3U's singleplayer (Port) side was 1-5 star quests for Low, 6-9 for High. MH4U (Caravan) goes 1-6 star quests for Low, 7-10 for High. Endgame quests stayed as High Urgents.

Right, I didn't really remember the star ranks in that game.

So I hired four people for Hunters for Hire. They failed the quest, but I get a Large Wyvern Gem anyway (which is very rare, mind you). Victory?

In this little slice of Tartarus, you need to fight a High-Rank Frenzied Zinogre AND FURIOUS RAJANG AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SANCTUARY!!! Oh, and if you managed to survive that? Nothing much, just fight a High-Rank SHAGARU MEGALA!!!!

You are a trooper. I don't have that patience. I almost beat Monsoon on Revengeance without taking damage. O got damaged too much so I just decided to give up.

Made some interesting discoveries:

- Zamtrios can't escape certain areas when it's all bloated. Not sure if its subspecies also is affected by this.
- Brute Tigrex can get stuck in a wall (or at least destroyable pillars) when it's trying to ram you. Dunno if this also applies to the regular one.

Though I know it's extremely obvious, the best part is being able to play online with others. If you ever need help, I'm usually available around noon and later (central USA/GMT -6), but of course you can try asking others here as well. (Hopefully we can get a party of four, though x3)

It's just as it sounds: you capture the monster. The catch (pun intended) is that it needs to reach a certain % first before you can try to do so. The items required for it are (I think) the last two/three items given to you in the Supply Box.

That quest also serves as somewhat of a tutorial in that you can also capture (most) large monsters; the reason why is because the rewards given by doing so can differ depending on the monster.

Well I was able to complete that capture quest but now im stuck on the giant spider thing

I'm stuck on solo Pink Rathian myself. I KEEP HITTING AND HITTING! BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T GO DOWN!

Pink Rathian (and Azure Rathalos, for that matter) are pretty stubborn once they take flight; if you can blind them via a certain Flash item while they're in the air, they'll fall straight down.

I know how to fight those annoying things, it's just that they won't go down, even after 15 minutes of constant fighting.....

Ohhhhhhhh, I think I get what you mean now... Yeah, they have a lot of health, though

Learn the movement of the monster and look for openings. Be patient! Quests give you a long time to finish them. Try to dodge after strikes you will recover faster.

Most of the new players don't know that, when you sprint away from a big monster and hitting the dodge button will let your character jump making him invulnerable for the duration of his jump.

AKA the Superman dive :P Seriously though, this WILL save you if used correctly.

Me and my friend either call that the "Super Dodge" or the "Faceplant" ^-^
But yeah, you have NO IDEA how many times that's saved us.

That thing always saved me in 3U against the Brachydios, Agnakator, and Ivory Lagiacrus. Life saver right there. ^-^

Just a note: unless you have Guard Up and are a shield user, there are some attacks that can't be defended against; although dodgerolling is also an option, you're better off divedodging to not get hit by said attacks. DON'T attempt this if the monster's doing a combo attack (like Rathian's triple charge).

I think my problem is the status effects. I keep getting caught in webs.

The webs are easy to dodge, honestly. Like RainbowDash said, learn the attack patterns before attacking. Though what each monster decides to do is random, they only ever have a handful hoof-full of attacks.

I'm done with my current plan. I'm going with my old MH3U plan. Slash away with some dual blades, no matter how dangerous.

Caught in the webs? Button Mash.
Paralysed aka. Flying stars? Button Mash.
Sleepy? Button Mash.
Burning? Yeah guess
Blastblight aka. TNT? Same as above
Smelly? Go get a shower  0:) or a deodorant
Caught in snow? You're screwd unless someone helps.  :c
Bleeding? You learn what to do ingame :3

Yeah iam missing some but those are the most common in my opinion

Making corrections:

• For Snow, you can just keep mashing buttons to attempt to break out faster if you don't wanna wait on someone (or something) to hit you.


• For all Elemental Blights including Blastblight, you can roll to get rid of them quicker (Fireblight can be removed immediately if you roll into water; other Blights--especially Dragon--take longer, though). Of course, you can always use a Nullberry.


• For Sleep(y), have your Palicoes or other Hunters (in multiplayer) hit you before a monster does; whatever damage you take when you fall asleep is (I think) 3x as much as a normal hit; the same applies to sleeping monsters.


• Stunned (stars around your head) can be removed quicker if you rotate the Circle Pad quickly.

Also, Paralysis (you're on the ground and can't move) can probably be removed quicker via button mashing, but I haven't fully tested that yet. What I know for sure is that if a Palico hits you, you'll be sent flying, but you're invincible during that animation which also gets rid of the Paralysis.

OMG.

Congrats :D

...Have fun with G Rank, heh.

I dont really know...

Try knocking it down with aerial attacks. Leaves it open for more attacks.

How do you aerial attacks

Run off a ledge and attack while you're falling. Insect Glaives also have the ability to launch you into the air.

Ok...

Wow.

That Teostra is really small. But wow, it's quite the heavy hitter.

It took forever, but I finaly beat it.

This is something that kinda bugs me since I still don't know what it means. But what does it mean if an element is grayed out? I've noticed this on Hurricane, it's Ice Element is grayed out.

Does that mean it doesn't work as well as it should?

You need the FreeElemnt (Awaken) skill to unlock it. Certain equipment have this, though you can also make Decorations to gem it in.

So, turns out the Sonic DLC wasn't fake after all.

All the announced DLC (save the Taiko one, most likely) will be released here.

Just when I thought it would be almost over, bam.

Reintroduced frenzy....

Oh yes frenzy will hit you even in g

Oh, I meant as a plot point. I didn't think THAT would come back after the S. Zinogre.

I knew something bad would happen. But I didn't think that would happen again.

Anyways, why is it so difficult to find a good party? I still can't get a team to do my urgent quest for Dalamadur...

Because players usually want to only do THEIR Urgents then leave. It's annoying, but until Capcom decides to change it to where Urgent Quests count for everyone and not just the quest poster, you'll probably have to rely on friends to get it done. *countless victim*

But @Rikaria did you forget? You're the one to get it done! ;)

It's still annoying that it doesn't count for everyone, though... It'd make things much faster (AKA having to complete it just once as opposed to four times... if you all trust each other).

Yeah, I know... I could help you out if you wanted. ^-^

Me too. Seriously, if anyone wants to play/needs help, just PM me.

I'm at my G3 Urgent. The monster I have to go against... well...

One of the High Rank ones involves you fight two of a certain monster in the Arena... without any armor and talismans. Another one is two Rajang (thankfully not in the Arena, but still).

What are the two arena monsters?

Oh... I'm high rank so I don't think I can help much... :c

Hmm? As in Relics or... what?

nono last low rank karawan quest

I'm still confused...

Hunt a Zingogre, Rajang and a Shagaru Mala. In the same place. Zinogre and Rajang at once. already frenzied

The Caravaneer's Challange. AKA one of the most stupidly unfair quests in any video game ever made.

Oh that... Someone I know managed to beat it, but I have no idea how. (Rather, I doubt I'd be able to copy what they did...)

Somehow I managed to beat it without fainting once. I even made a Miiverse post as proof.
Here's my tactic; bring B-casings and exiteshrooms. Then you'll have a bunch of Farcasters to bail to the bed with.

Sure, if you even use those in the first place...

I ALWAYS take farcasters. They've saved both my time and my hide on more than one occasion.

Sis, those things saved me in A Mark of a Hero in MH3U. I always bring them for quests like that now.

Taking a break from story quests to work on HR. Im at HR2 now.

DUUUUUDE! I just got two Gore Magala Nyctgems in a single hunt!

Now if only I knew what I could craft with them....

Check Kiranico. That site is my turn-to for everything Monster Hunter.

I used Kiranico for material locations and stuff. I never really thought of using it for that.

If you're really into the endgame stuff, there's even an Armor Builder on that site.

.... So I decided to take on Dalamadur by myself, considering I can't find a group, and the Wi-fi at the hotel I'm at isn't good enough to hold a connection.

I got about 35 minutes of straight attacking with my Le Traquer, thinking I was going to win soon. I get hit by a meteor and lose my3rd life....

Hmffff, I guess I'll just go back to my strategy of going all out with dual blades. Except I'll actually get a good pair.

Eee, we all need to play together at one point...

...Anyone know where we could like... group up? Checking back here when everyone else is gone is not a good... err... yeah...

Blah, I couldn't anyways.... My 3DS can't keep a Wi-Fi signal at this hotel for more than 10 minutes.... It's not a great place for this.

I'll probably be back tomorrow.... Maybe....


EDIT: Should I get Silver Rathalos armor? The defense boost is huge compared to every other armor piece I can make. Right now I have full Rath Soul armor, and I feel like I should upgrade.

I always wanted to make S. Rath armour. Don't know what the skills are, but if the def. is good, then go for it.
That reminds me, I have this...grudge or something against S. Rathalos. When me and my friend first fought it in 3U, I was getting hit left and right...but I never felt like I was in danger. I just can't take the thing seriously for some reason.
And now for good news...
Me and my friend managed to beat a quest on our own.
Fighting two Deviljho with no armour.
WITH ONLY TWO PEOPLE.
I'm on a huge adrenalin rush right now.

Monster Hunter-related:



I'm actually really looking forward to this (if it comes over here, anyway).

My grudge monster (everyone has one.) is the Green Narga. I hate that thing, moves too fast and has too much help.

Im at HR3 now : 3

So, the Silver Solarmor's bonuses are:
Fire Attack 2
Weakness Exploit
Razor Sharp
And Recovery Down

Not bad, the defense bonus is also pretty good. Also, the suit has wings! They look so cool!  :3

You should see my butterfly armor :D

How do I make them? I always like a goal. I'm just about to complete mine. I just need one more Shagaru Magala Caress + to upgrade my Gore Magala Dual Blades. I really feel like calling them claws. They really look like claws.

Quote from: Sunshine Smash on 2015 Apr 13, 23:20:43

Requires various kinds of bugs as well as other materials. Go on Kiranico and search for either the Aelucanth set (which is for males) or Rhopessa set (which is for females).

... So Dalamadur still wouldn't go down. After 50 minutes of slicing from my new Shagaru Magala Dual Blades. I'm pretty sure this guy is unsoloable at my current position....

In celebration of MH4U selling over 1 million copies overseas, we're getting a free Monster Hunter 3DS HOME Menu Theme in May!

There are solo G-Rank quests. My friend has them.
Anyway on another note...

Please watch this. These guys need more attention.

According to someone I know, Monoblos is traditionally (emphasis on traditionally) meant to be a solo fight in all the games it's been in.

Heh. That's hilarious!

I'm gonna try to get a group for Dalamadur now. Wish me luck!

EDIT:..... I have no idea what just happened.... A bunch of people came in, got the quest, then got rid of the quest.... Then left..... What!?

The server isn't entirely stable; that'll happen occasionally. What's worse is when the whole room disconnects during a hunt.

No, they left of their own accord.

EDIT: Perfect! I got a hunt with people who thought they could take a hyperbeam. We lost.... And we were so close! Ugh!

What I said still can happen, though.

Yeah. Hilariously enough, that actually happened to me minutes after you said it.

Anyways. I finally got a good team, and we did it! And my HR just shot up to 40. What just happened?

Once you complete the FIRST High Rank Urgent, your HR uncaps to what it should be (basically, it totals up all the quests you did--Caravan and Gathering Hall/Online, and it can continue to raise all the way up to 999). You don't become G Rank until you complete the SECOND High Rank Urgent.

Yea.... And just like Dalama.... No people are joining.... Pshhhh

I'd help, but I've been really busy lately with other stuff.

It's cool. I've got one guy in my group. Hope others show up before he leaves.

EDIT: I just found this awesome fan-made theme for the Rathalos! Check it out! (Uhhhh, how do I post YT links again? It's been so long since the last time...)

https://youtu.be/LdM6hHzs4vo

the waiting for someone to join your urgent quest...

You need help? I can come join.

my hall id (changed) 08-4139-3037-1646

help would be appreciated :3

dc happens to me in worst cases

i will change the id as long as i need to do the urgent

You still looking? I don't think you have the same ID.

What are you other guys up to by the way? I'm quite bored waiting for a room, and feel like knowing what you're doing.

no ill change the edit the id when its different

Also if you need help let me know its very difficult to find a skilled team :3

Really sorry... I would've joined, but I recently got a new laptop, so I've been busy transferring stuff from my old one.

We REALLY need to organize something one day...

i broke my loading cable... T.T

now where did i put my string and dowel...

I'm up for organizing something. I'm close to G3 rank.

Hmm... How about this Friday or Saturday?

Sure, I got nothing going on then, and I should have G3 by then.

In about 35 minutes, me and my friend Sam are gonna make a room for anyone here to join.
I'll post the ID then, and the passcode will be 7777.
Hope to see you there. ^-^

Sorry... busy at the moment.

Thanks to Chroma and his buddy Sam, I got G3 rank and Rathalos X armor! I love it!

I also stuck it to the desire sensor by getting a rarity 9 drop from a Dah'Ren Morhan on the first try, and upgraded my equipment!

yo i have time friday and saturday :3

and iam finished with g3 ^^

Actually... Friday's now a no-go for me, but I'll at least try to make it this Saturday (at least, before nighttime my time).

What is your time zone? If it's behind me, we could probably hunt together, I'm a night owl, up a lot of the night.

Central/CDT (GMT/UTC -6).

So after finally getting my dream claws, Le-Shangri-La, I went to low ranks to help out the lower levels. It was actually pretty fun.

Also I didn't want to finish any more solo high ranks at the time.

I mean come on, (Spoilers for an egg mission)

I actually didn't fight them. Sure, they got in my way at times, but I still ignored them. Now... if we were talking about the Rathian/Rathalos egg mission... well... it was pretty much impossible to get away from them while carrying an egg.

Also, I found out my time zone: it's London GMT. Normally, me and my friend usually go online from 8 PM to 10 or 11 PM, so I'll probably be able to play then.

So that makes you... 6 (or 7?) hours ahead of me. I suppose I could get on around that time.

So what should I hone my Eternal Leavetakers in? I'm not planning on defense, so Attack or Life?

I actually forgot about Honing. Anyway, I guess it depends if you think you get hit often (Life) or not (Attack).

how about event questing?

It depends. There are some sets I don't even want (mostly because they're High Rank).

What's the difference between the Quagmire Quarrel mission and the Act of Gog mission besides the subquest? Act of Gog gives you drastically higher Zenny rewards? Is Gog stronger in the latter?

Usually. That, or more attack patterns. Maybe both. I dunno.

EDIT: In roughly less than 3 hours from now as of this post (which would probably be 3 or 4 PM/15:00 or 16:00 for some of you), I'll be hosting a room and will post its ID here. Don't worry about posting Friend Codes, as we can register each other ingame.

Every time i open a room people come in then leave immediately.

Did a lot of solo quests for the past 2 days. Wow, they keep you on your toes, I can't decide which one I like the most so far, either the White Monoblos, Tigrex/Brute Tigrex duo, or the Dah'Ren that starts absurdly close to your ship in the second phase. I love all of them!

for those who want 39-8144-3840-4888

finishing random quest :3

G3 to G expert

Eh... I'm really bored at the moment, so why not. Just lemme finish up some other stuff first.

EDIT: Getting on now.

Ahhh, just missed you, I went to go pick up more materials for a Dire Miralis set.

That quartet quest... ugh...

Yea, I screwed up. I'm probably not good enough yet.....

i was the one that died horifficly

Woo! Finished my Dire Miralis set, boosting my defense by over 140, giving me better buffs, while granting more gem space and eliminating the need for the gems I used before, giving me more opportunity to fight.

On a side note, anyone know how to make Brachydios dual blades? I haven't looked too far into it, but right now I can only find a start by starting with Yian-Kut-Ku+ dual blades, later upgrading into what I want. Problem is, there are no regular Kut-Ku missions that I know of, only guild quests and that one annoying capture quest, which is hard to do at my level. I'd really like to get those blades, as they were part of my signature set-up from the last game, and I really love their glowing slime designs.  :3

Certain monsters are Guild Quest-/Expedition-only after defeating them in a Caravan-specific Quest; Yian Kut-Ku is one of them. (And obviously, its subspecies.)

Exactly, I don't want to grind expeditions just to get the chance to fight this one monster, I barely see anyone hunting one, and even then, there's no guarantee it's a low-rank. If it's the only option, I will, but I want to know if there's another way.

There isn't, sadly. I guess it's to encourage players to do Expeditions or something. (After all, some endgame stuff can be found that way.)

Ugh, I already have Miralis armor. Thanks game, for making me do this... Ah well, it's worth it for my favorite piece of equipment from my favorite monster.

I want to try to get something happening again this weekend, but I have absolutely no idea what time works for everyone. (Actually, it doesn't even have to be this weekend if everyone's available at one given time.)

Based off of yesterday's..... Event.... I'm gonna try and gear up better, level up my armor, get the Lightbreak Twins and better gems.

EDIT: I got my Kut-Ku+ blades and immediately upgraded it to it's second to last form, the Spectral Demolishers.

Quote from: Sunshine Smash on 2015 Apr 29, 15:56:48
What does Fate do?

Increases rewards from defeating a large monster, NOT capturing it. Consequently, if you have the negative versions of the skill, it lowers rewards.

If you're curious about the capture-based skill, it's called Tranquilzr (that's not a typo, by the way) which actually doesn't have any negative versions.

As far as I know, both skills only apply to you, but I could be wrong.

Unless it's the Hunter's Seal one? Which I bought a while ago.

i just heard the digital owners of mh4u get the themes free but i own a retail copy

MH4U Hunter's Weapon Gallery is the theme that should be Free from the list of themes...

There's also the "Free to Download" section from the Theme Shop's main menu to check it out.


I don't even have the game. Though I'd like to get it some day. Looks fun. ^-^
I have the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Special Demo version, so I at least get to try it out on that.

I have the theme for free. I didn't know themes actually change sound effects and music. It's awesome!

EDIT: By the way, I notice that quite a couple of us are online ATM. Anyone want to hunt together?

I already mentioned the free theme a while back. (http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=14390.msg910784#msg910784)

Anyway, I can't at the moment. I'm helping someone else.

Man, my storage box is more filled than my MH3U box. It's at the 9th section. I need to start selling useless stuff.....

It's a bit of a pain getting by using ranged weapons, particularly when pretty much all the bows and such either have A: Bad stats but able to use pretty much all coatings, or B:Excellent stats, superb even, BUT unable to use almost any kind of coating, especially the ones that actually increase damage, such as Power or C. Range, even worse, they're the ones that have stuff like Pierce 2 and Rapid 3 just to mention an example.

That's why I try to compromise/find a balance before making anything.

Except thus far I simply can't seem to find a good bow that's going to work, right now I'm using the scylla fist I, which works fairly well for me, though there's the annoyance with no damage-enhancing coatings being avalible,the Hunter's Stoutbow seems promising though, I just have to actually get dragonite ore. I'm starting to think I should just grind up ketchubucabra or whatever it's called, get enough for blademaster armor and then go melee instead.

I'm planning on doing the Monster Hunter! Quest, anyone feel like coming?

I think I'll just wait till I get endgame-ish armor for that...

Yeah I've pretty much decided by now, I think I'm gonna farm up the armor that uses gloamberry, can't remember what it's called but it has slightly better defense than tetsucabra and should only take a few merchant trips to multiply the ingredients enough, which is easy when you have harvest tour quests, just spend the time fishing for goldenfish and the like untill the ticket comes.

So I just finished the Master's Test quest.

Well.... I'm intensely disappointed.... For the Caravaneer's Challenge you get rainbow coloration. For this you get.... A Hero's Talisman that gives you +12 to Wide Range with no gem slots.....

Pink Rathian is so op  DD:

Yea, took me a while to finish the plot-essential quest to take her out. I actually got so annoyed I decided to finally start doing multiplayer. So I guess that's good.  X3

Heh... just wait till you fight Azure Rathalos...

Azure Rathalos is nothing to that. Pink Rathian spams her heavy hitting spins which go through antidotes and leaves you open to attacks.

I dunno. I found A.Rath more annoying than P.Rath.

EDIT: The free MH4U Theme is now available in Europe. Sorry for the confusion from before.

Anyone know where to find a regular G-Rank Fatalis? I just need two hardhorns to finish Ultimus Apocalypse.

Is Crimson Fatalis' armor set worth getting? I saw its skills, and though the only negative one was Defense Down, the other three were pretty good... but I hate fighting against it ><

Anyway... if you think it's worth it, that's what I'll be farming for tomorrow (my time). Of course, I'm also willing to help others here (I pretty much have everything I need until more G Rank Event Quests come out).

Personally I really don't bother farming items from a monster that is a pain to kill, generally this is decided by three factors from me: Does it combo constantly? Does it apply poison over and over and over very frequently? Does it hit me so much it goes through all my field supplies? If all three are yes then I'm either not ever again touching the quest, the only exceptions being monsters that feel fair and avoidable, for example the Zinogre.

I hate the monsters that apply poison frequently, the Yian Garuga in particular, and that is me talking with a Palico setup that has my palico set up with 3 support first stringers and 2 defense ones.

Following your three factors:

• The only real combo I've seen is a spin attack in which it hits you with its very long tail. There's some delay before each spin though, so I guess it's not really a combo since you can guard/dodge in time.


• It uses Blastblight clouds which explode, but it doesn't constantly use them. If anything, you're probably gonna get hurt by its fire attacks... or literally by its body (standing near it during certain times will actually damage you due to the extreme heat).


• I'm not sure I can answer that last factor properly since I've only fought it once so far, but I did go through like 15 Mega Potions (10 at start, 5 via Combo List), and you don't start at home base, so...

On an additional note: there seem to be more quests in this game compared to past ones where you don't start at home base, but even then there's not always a bed.

Err what? No, the Yian Garuga's tail is also poisonous, and it has a tendency to use it's tail attack quite a lot, not to mention it moves just a smidge too fast for my liking with it's recovery, it doesn't have any heat AOE attacks either, are you sure you're not thinking of the Gypceros? You might need to go through your monster information list.
And how the heck did you go through so many potions against the Zinogre? I was using a coiled nail najarala longsword and had not too much trouble, I only went through about 6 mega potions, and that was with me being actually fairly agressive, personally I haven't seen much of a use for the bed either frankly, the only times I actually return to base camp is because of fainting, which is pretty rare, or because I am on a mission where I can afford going back to pick up supplies, some of which might even be needed to finish the mission.
And you DO start at home base for the Zinogre mission, the bed is literally behind you at the start of the mission, sure you just didn't read the map right and notice the base camp at heaven's mount is actually closer to the middle this time?

I think she's just using your factors in her question to decide if she should farm Crim Fatalis. She was probably talking about Crimson Fatalis.

^ What Sunshine said. Really sorry for the confusion >.< (Also for the record, I absolutely love Zinogre; I've NEVER had problems against it.)

EDIT: Okay, I'm definitely hunting C.Fatalis tomorrow. I'll set up a room for anyone who feels like joining. Do keep in mind you have to have at least the Bronze G Rank Special Permit in order to... well... join.

I'll see if I can join, although I haven't played MH for a little while. Thank Xenoblade and SHAREfactory for that.

Kinda relevant to this thread.

So someone I know showed me this. I have no idea if/when it comes out overseas, though:

If they're smart then it most likely will be released here.

I've been curious about this for a while, and this video raises my interests. What is Monster Hunter Frontier? Are they like the main series games? Because I find it kind of odd that Zinogre has an after credits scene. Everyone knows what Zinogre is and what it can do. Just seems kind of odd to give it a tense after-credit scene.

Frontier is basically the MMORPG console/PC port of the series, with more quests/monsters/items/etc. being added each patch (NOT DLC like in MH3U/MH4U).

Anyway, after I eat lunch, I'll post a Gathering Hall ID for Crimson Fatalis.

EDIT: Change of plans (kinda): I also need G Rank Black Gravios and G Rank Special Permit Shah Dalamadur. Though C.Fatalis is still top priority, I'll probably cycle between the three since I'll be needing very rare items from the other two. The ID is: 45-9605-3910-5562. The Passcode is: 0511.

Okay that does sound pretty awesome, and most likely won't be ported like many other games that would sell up a storm here, for example 3D fighters, basically dragonball xenoverse but better and with no RPG stuff for example.

Sorry, not able to make it after all, friend came round.

I closed the room, anyway. I guess I'll just hunt with randoms for the time being.

Stupid Raging Brachydios! It's not giving me the reactor! I just need one to finish my Brachudium set! I have 99+ Cortexs and several Palliums. Wow, this game hates me..... D:

Well.. at least you can sell the extra Cortexes.

Speaking of which, for me I try to keep one full stack of each monster material (save certain ones used for combinations) then sell any extras for more Zenny. Then again, you can just farm G Rank Akantor then sell its stuff for literally 100k+ each successful hunt.

(For those wondering why I mentioned the above:

• It's recommended you keep a good amount of any item in case something you're trying to make might require items from a lower Rank.


• Akantor may be powerful, but it's really slow. The only major problem you have to watch out for is when it does a long range roar. Anyway, if you get a really good party together, you can defeat it in less than 5 minutes. Its elemental weaknesses are Thunder and Dragon, by the way.)

Ugh, the only lightning type dual blades I can make require 4 paddock oils. It's terrible, I've gone through about 10 hunts and only got 3.

Paddock oil is a horrible item to farm, so few quests give you that, and you can't even make more with frenzy crystals like you can with frost sac!

It's an absolute nightmare. But it's worth it to get powerful dual blades with every elemental coverage.

And my Lightbreak Twins, cause they're awesome!

So I'm pretty much at the point where I have everything I want for now (at least until more Event Quests come), so if anyone needs help with anything, just post a Gathering Hall ID/create a room (if I have you as a friend) and I'll try to be there. It doesn't matter even if you're HR1.

Anyone know what a good pair of fire dual blades are? I'm leaning towards the final stage of the Melting Wail, forget it's name. It has great attack and mixes high poison with high fire, but also has -10% affinity. Should I stick with it? I could probably add gems to counter that, but I don't know if it's really worth it.....


Also, really, the Twinbane Twilights require G-rank Black Fatalis parts, just like the Ultimus Apocalypse? That's really annoying... I'm kept from two extremely powerful blades just because G- Rank Fatalis doesn't exist yet.....

THE TRAILER FOR MONSTER HUNTER X CROSS.
IT'LL PROBABLY TAKE FOREVER TO BE LOCALIZED, BUT ALL ABORD THE HYPE CARAVAN!!!

Yeah, saw it earlier. Seeing as I've never played any past games before MH3U, I don't know what to make of the "crossovers", but those new attacks (at least, in my point of view) are definitely gonna make hunts A LOT more interesting.

EDIT: New DLC coming out tomorrow (June 5)!

It's about time! If it doesn't have White or Black G-Fatalis, I'm going to flip....

The DLC quests don't look to have that, one of the quests are a pretty nice reference to DMC it looks like, the good one, not the complete garbage reboot which, while admittedly good in it's own way, falls abysmally short of the good ones in pretty much every aspect.

That's.... Not horrible... But I would much prefer G-rank Fatalis. I still really want to make my Twinbane Twilights to boost to purple sharpness with modifications.   X3

Now I'm just imagining you swinging around two Twilight Sparkles, haha.

Also, I recently found I actually do pretty well with hunting horns, again. And I found one with pretty good bonuses too, the shell castanet, can give Health boost(L), Defense boost(L) and Attack boost(L), along with wind pressure nullification, that has a pretty darned good set of bonuses it can give out, keeping them all up is really difficult though.

That Horn would be really nice in (Rusted) Kushala Daora hunts... even though you can't completely negate their black wind, but hey /o/

Probably would be pretty handy, I just never really used the hunting horns before that one for a very simple reason: The bonuses they gave with melodies were freaking useless, pretty much only Small bonuses, not much bonuses at all or element-specific resistances and the like.

They're only small if you use the song once; repeat the same one immediately after to get a better bonus.

Still nowhere near the same as when you do the same with L bonuses, just feels WAY more useful.

Aside from various quests, more USJ (Universal Studios Japan) stuff including the Star Knight set as well as G Rank Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos are all coming out tomorrow! \o/

There's going to be a MH event in London in a few days I might be going to, and the game's Producer and Director are going to be there!

I'll toss my hat into the ring if you still need some teammates.
I have terrible rare item drops, though. I'm in that halfway between noob-and-pro gear cause of it. -.-

I pretty much stopped playing after Episodic Quest 5 came out (July's DLC with the Gold Rathian). I might still be around to help every now and then, but otherwise... well... yeah.

I got a full Gore Magala set.
I think it's a step up from a Wroggi set. -.-
(Yes, I basically just got the game)

Also, my Insect glaive now has a butterfly.

Most annoying part is always getting that 1-2 drops you need to finish making a set.
Grats. I still need Gore just for ma spiffy new dragon lance.

Grrr! Darned Pink Rathian! >:(
I can't beat her for the life of me!

Any ideas? I got some pretty fire resistant armor, but the poison is a pain in the flank.
I don't have time to drink the antidote due to it's speed.

I probably shouldn't take a great-sword due to it's poor speed, so I tried some faster weapons and still got my flank handed to me.
I'm going to hate the Azure and Silver Rathilos...aren't I? -.-

Im doing an Urgent and whenever I get people to do it (after about 10 minutes of waiting) everyone disconnects in the middle of the fight. 

And how so you get better armor without frustration?

Honestly, that's why I love the lance. Quick block, especially if auto block is up, a dodge ability and a "get out of the way charge" attack.

I tried the lance, but it seems so weak on attack that I take too long, plus it's dodge moves aren't as fast.
(Or is it just me?)

Though anything with a shield + Dash juice = awesome.
'Cause when those monster do those mega super duper uber long combo strings you can take them all and still have enough energy to run/dodge.

---

So, something tells me I need better armor, I have a full Gore set, but I don't think that's even close to enough for what I intend to be doing.
I'm trying to get that full set of...

But it's clearly out of my skill/equipment level.

I... am.... finally... G rank...

Lance just takes time to get used to. You can spam jump the dodge in whichever direction you need, on the fly, when you get good at it.
Big swords aren't terrible though. Just have to remember the combo setups for which ones allow getting away easier.

I just got the EX Poise.
(Dah'ren Moran, Sword and shield.)
So I'm using a lot of sword and shield stuff now because all my other gear is really lame.
I want some decent other gear, but it all is sooooo hard to get, in order to be good enough to get it I need the gear I'm trying to get! lol

That...or the stuff is ugly as Diamond Tiara's flank. =P

Great Swords are one of mah favourite weapons in the mh series. Currently I'm so pumped for x cross to come out. EEEEEEEEHHHHH

You know how it has that LeapDodge boost so you fly muuuch farther and so you can do it whenever?

Well, I was trying to find a Azure Rathalos in the Volcanic hollow...
I'm in area 8 on top of that plateau and I leap off it...it's also a downward hill...

I basically flew down half of the area like Nacho Libre at the end of the movie!
