TOO MUCH RATHIAN RUBIES. NOT ENOUGH RATHIAN PLATES AND RATHALOS RUBIES.

BITCH LIKES ME TOO MUCH.

Also HBG is love.

HBG is Live.

also,GET YOUR ASS TO G RANK!!

I can't. Besides work, which is alot of manual labor, I got lazy being a support HBG and ranking up on riding a 4 man party.

And then when I do urgents, EVERYONE, FUCKING EVERYONE DIES AND LEAVES.

The general rule of thumb is that hard hitting hit-n-run weapons like GS work well with raw damage, whereas weapons that are fast and can inflict lots of hits and damage in a short period of time work well for ailments and blights (though the word "blight" here is somewhat an incorrect thing to say, since Blastblight is the only blight monsters can have, they don't get affected by Fireblight, Waterblight and so on). Dios Blade, being a katana, should be alright. I'm using a lot of the Coiled Nail+ right now, which is paralysis, and as long as I keep a steady stream of hits going, I can get a paralyze up easy. Not surprising if I can do it a second time during a monster's hunt too.

Well basically the value of the elemental damage (dunno how status like para/sleep works) is divided by 10, so 500 is 50, then depending on the monster and the spot u hit, it will deal a % dmg on it. Some monster take no damage from fire for example while other have part where it takes like say the legs is 15% (7.5) or upward to 30% (15) on the head usually (reading on monster weakness is advisable around HR 6 i say).

Does not seem like much but unlike raw damage, motion value has no effect on it, meaning regardless of what kind of swing you do (unless your using greatsword charge moves) the damage is only affected by where you hit. So elemental and raw damage do not interact at all with each other, they are calculated on their own.

Edit: bah if you got like 30+ of an armor sphere, go ahead and use a few, specially if u think ur gonna be wearing that armor for a while. It is likely that the G rank version of the armor will most likely only use once the armor sphere u got, then asking you to have the next tier of sphere to level it. So no need to hold back on upgrading.

If I remembet correctly, Rare 9 armor asks for like 1 set of Hard armor spheres then like 2 sets of Heavy, then a shit ton of Strong before needing Divine spheres. Rare skips the Hard spheres. Also, fuck the Akantor set, needing so many Rare 9 materials.

Hey I got a quick question about Guild Quests.

So I need some Basarios carpace but he only appears in expeditions (there is a low rank caravan but the piece I need only drops from high rank).

I have a Basarios guild quest, but it's Level 1. Does it become high rank once it hits a certain level, or will I have to get the guild quest from high rank expeditions?

I think it does.

Yes, 1-30 low rank, 31-85 Hi rank, 86-125 G rank, 126-135 Super G rank and 136-140 Ultra G rank.

It's such a fucking bitch that high and g rank basarios are only available in expeditions.

Y U DO DIS CAPCOM?

I have a lvl 98 Basarios GQ though.

Most people interchange expeditions and guild quests when talking about them.

Also, definitely hit a wall. The G2 Azure Rathalos/Tigrex quest keeps annihilating me. Can't even get one of them down (been trying to focus fire the Azure Rathalos, but the only way to do that is to stay in that horrid Area 8 that tilts and doesn't have much room to move).

Worst part is all the good stuff is locked behind this quest. Can't get any new weapons or better armor until I pass him and unlock access to more monsters.

Anyone wanna help me level up 2 rajang quests? Currently at 119 or 120.

tempting....
what's the relic weapon & armor piece?

Okay so i got MH4U because of you guys, now i have completely ignored the Fakku forums for like a week now. Really enjoying this one more than the last monster hunter game.

Have fun, also no brakes on the ride.

Be careful of walls, though. Hit those the wrong way and it could make you quite salty.

*edit*

Okay, since Charge Blade is getting me wrecked on the Azure King and Tyrant quest, decided to try out the Lance instead since it's my old go-to. Made myself the stage 1 Stygian Zinogre lance (so the High Rank version) since the next rank is hidden behind this key quest wall, and wanted to test the proof of concept before spending time leveling up an Expedition to get the parts.

Killed the Azure Rathalos with relative ease. I died twice, but both were preventable and just me being rusty with the Lance and getting used to it again. The real problem was that I only had 17 minutes left to kill the Tigrex. I had completed the subquest, and since I had already died twice and didn't see it dying in the remaining time, I ended via subquest once he got me trapped in a corner to prevent failure.

So now the grind happens to get an expedition to G rank, then farm the mats to make the lance. Even tempted to try out the Gun Lance version to see which I like more. Since the stage 2 is about 40% stronger than the stage 1, there is now a light at the end of the tunnel!

I am four quests away from finishing low rank guild and starting my high rank stuff G-Rank has never felt closer my goal is to be there in under 200 hours

Advice here from the laziest funlance user here:

Carry lots of whetstones. Or get sharpness skill (not handicraft which gives +1 sharpness,still great to get).

Gunlance differs greatly on shots and usage:

Single shot:
Wide>Long>Normal
Full Burst:
Normal>Long>Wide
Charged shot:
Wide>Long>Normal
Wyvern's Fire:
Long>Wide>Normal

You can reload after evasion or after every single shot/charged shot.

Destroyer with gunlance breaks alot of monster parts easily. Feels satisfatcion mang.
