I still need to start the game, but I need an advice guys:
I've heard people say that the Long Sword (the weapon I was planning to use) is not really good in this game, so I should use other weapons...what do you think?

No weapon is bad...people just hate the Long Sword because it messes other people up when playing online. Just try any weapon you want and stick with it.

@221Believer Haven't made that armor set before, but if you want an easy starting set for High Rank then you can make a Great Jaggi set. He's easy to fight solo with low rank armor and easy to farm. Especially if you already reached High Rank in the Gathering Hall since you'll be able to do a quest where you hunt 2 of them at the same time. The skills the set gives is pretty good as well.

@DarthNocturnal: Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that he was just messing with me. >>

@Iggly: Haven't touched the Gathering Hall, since so many of those quests are multi-monster and I'm not that confident yet (also somehow my aim with Dung Bombs is awful). Do I get access to a HR Great Jaggi outside of the Hall?

@221Believer The quest in the Caravan that has a High Rank Great Jaggi is "Dinner Guests", which involves you hunting a Great Jaggi and a Gendrome. You would have to do the "Hermit Grab" quest to unlock it, doing Caravan might be quicker for you since monsters don't get an hp increase unlike the Gathering Hall where their hp rises as the tier you are in rises (Low Rank, High Rank, and G Rank being the highest). Though doing it by the Gathering Hall will get you more rewards since it's two Great Jaggis, take your pick as you will have to hunt two monsters regardless of what place you do this if you want the armor.

@221Believer Don't be afraid to ask for help either. It's nothing to drop a couple hundred hours on this game, so if you can save some time here and there, take advantage of it. Stuff gets outclassed so quickly that it's just a waste of time to grind for most equipment, but if there's something you really need, there's a good group of people here who'd be happy to lend a hand.

Myself being a gunner, I'm used to being in a support role in the first place. I won't do the work for you (although after the second cart, the monster is going down), but I'll make it go a little faster — and try to keep you alive.

@FattyWhale_42: That's super kind of you, but I don't have 3DS-friendly wifi on my campus. ^^; I'm locked into solo for a few weeks til I go home for break. Plus, I'm thinking even if I fail I will be learning from it (I have got to practise my Kinsect work), so it's not a big deal.

@Iggly: Thanks! Yeah, I was hoping for Caravan stuff because I was aware of the HP increase.

This sounds like a good project for this weekend when I'm ignoring all my final projects. xP

Oh my god, Stygian Zinogre is kicking my butt!

@Morpheel: I can barely even get close to it because of all that black lightning stuff that's surrounding it.

...Stygian in 3U was easy after a while...he's a living nightmare in this game. lol

Even Savage is a real pain in this game. xD
Akantor doesn't give me that much trouble, though.

Finally slew the Stygian Zinogre. When he finally went down, I was on my last life, and had exhausted ALL of my healing and stamina recovery items. By this time, he was clearly on his last leg as well, and we spent the last five minutes of our battle dashing around one-another, making quick, desperate attacks, knowing that only one of us was going to survive these next few minutes.

The game really shines during times like these.
I'm not fond of Steve crashing all my parties lately, though. Each time he did, I zoned until the Stygian fled to another area, and by that time he had powered up and was far more ferocious than normal.

Even if I never do anything else in the multiplayer, this game will still have been a GREAT value for the money. I'm not even done with the campaign yet, and I've already logged 100+ hours into this.

There is a cat with an afro in my equipment box.

Wut.

I was like what is he looking for the 1st time I saw him. He just gave me his 1st quest last night after doing a Caravan 10 quest.

This game lured me in with super gorgeous armour, really interesting ecologies (seriously, the Magalas are excellently built and this is coming from a very picky fantasy writer), and heart-pounding battles.

Now there are untold cat puns and afro cats with star shades. And I'm only at 70 hours.

Speaking of gorgeous armour, I just completed Bnahabra S(speed sheathing + speed sharpening + negated paralysis? Love it!) and upgraded every piece a few times, and I absolutely love the design. It's completely impractical, really, considering it's made of Bnahabra bits and should be fragile as spun sugar, as well as the bared thighs...but it's got that weird Victorian-Gothic aesthetic I love in real life. Plus it matches my current Kinsect. How vain is it to say I want to keep the armour just for the looks, and the skills are kind of a bonus?

Also nearly done with Jaggi S, since he felt the need to crash my gathering quest search for Hercudromes. Just a few more hides...

Finished all the Caravan quest last night that I can until I get G. Thinking about upgrading my Monoblos armor to the Silver Rathalos now before I start working on my HR.

Took me all day yesterday to kill Brachydios! What an annoying monster. Delivering the killing blow to him was very satisfying, though.
