Topic: Monster Hunter 3

@Slapshot82 The off line only goes up to 5 rank and it gets really hard at that. I got there last week i thought i would beat the game in a a day or two. Ended up taking a week as there is a lot to do You are going to have to collect hard to find items to finish the game. The end boss isnt that hard he just has an insane amount of hit points and you only get a half an hour to hunt him. Also it all under water to. No land fights!

To answer your other question. The plus means it is a more advanced item for stronger forging. For example the grt jaggi+ armor has a starting defence of 38. Thats stronger than anything you can get off line and rank 3 or lower online even at its weekiest state. However i noticed before rank 4 you cant upgrade your armor past 6 now you can go all the way to 10 if you have the right items after rank 4. I only have one piece of armor at 6 and checked what it would go to at 7 and it jumped 20 plus points. So have fun offline nd come back online much stronger. The last boss will give you helious armor and you will be given a long sword near the games end. Just talk to everyone near the end. Think i got it from the ships trademan.

@slapshot: I have Divine Blessing and I always bring 5 mega pickaxes with me. Thanks for the tips on where to find it. Also, I checked the MH wiki and the strongest LS has 693 damage, which is stronger than the lance (506 dmg - my weapon of choice).

Pah! My sexy Lagia Lightning (R) dishes out 768 damage. _{when it hits D:}

Funny story Lurch. I'll add you to my 'attempt list' as I call it.

@Machu.... that is what Im using. I just got my Lagia Lightning last night. Im also going to upgrade it to (R) as well

Hello fellow hunters. I`m getting into the great sword a lot, and I`m torn between these 3 upgrades for jawblade sword, 1. Golem blade, 2. Red wing( I already have 2 fire weapons), or 3. Wyvern jawblade? Thanks!

@Chucko.... Im about to forge the jawblade as well. I really though I was going Switch Axe, but man I love my Great Swords so much

I actually took down a Barroth today with my Great Sword, AND managed to cut his tail off. I was pretty proud of myself, considering that was the first time I've ever tried beating a monster with one. Almost forged my first LS too - just need some more machalite ore and baggi hides!

Anyone want to farm High Gigginox? Trying to make the set, but people sure aren't quick to chase this one down it seems.

anyone know a good router to use, i have a Belkin router and i always get disconected online and it gets really annoying.

@Bloodysaber Are you in NA or EU? I want to forge the Gigginox+ set too, not to mention fully upgrade my Poison Stinger. I need to do some major Nox grinding.

@NintenFreak My old Belkin kept disconnecting me as well. Every 5 minutes or so when using the Wii browser I'd get a "Network disconnected" message and then a "You have a working network connection" message, clearing whatever page I had loaded. It even caused connection problems on my computers.

I got a new router a little before MH Tri was released and it works stupendously. The range is far larger (it goes all the way downstairs to my Wii which is on the other side of the house) and never disconnects. I even get faster internet speeds for some reason. It's a Linksys WRT610N - looks snazzy, and the tech is high-grade with dual-band B/G and N networks. Don't know if that's within your budget though, but it definitely works well.

EDIT: Actually before writing off your router for good, check your router settings and make sure you have your Wii's ports correctly forwarded. If that fails to make a difference, set your Wii's address to DMZ on your router. That cleared up any connection and crashing problems I had with MH Tri.

NA. I'm usually on around midnight (EST). Managed to get a group going and killed a single gigginox before someone had a breakdown and left. It was... strange.

Alright, I can be on at midnight EST tomorrow.

Just a reminder to people haven't posted their friend codes already - the NintendoLife NA MH3 Friend List is in the Online Gaming forum. Go there and post your character name, hunter ID, and whether you have a keyboard and/or Wii Speak. I'll add you to the list.

Hey all, Agent here. I've been having a blast offline (finishing up my 4star quests now), however I know that I've been missing out on a good part of what MH is. So...I'll be sure to add my name/ID (if I haven't done so already) and look forward to teaming with you all!

What's Ceadus's secondary weakness? If it doesn't have one then oh well, I'll just take my weapon with the highest attack. XD

Holy crap, baggi hides are such a pain to find. I did the 20 baggi quest and I only got one in the rewards box. Any special trick to getting them or do you just have to get lucky? I need five more for my long sword.

Just had a quick look for you dude, and it's a 10% carve-rate on that one. You must kill many! :/ Good luck!

Bah. I wouldn't mind so much if I could free-hunt them and if that f***ing gigginox wasn't patrolling the Tundra.

Annoyance. Anyway, thanks 'chu. :3

Do the Great Baggi Quest instead, perhaps. Unlimited Baggi spawnage, and in theory, you'll get more goodies in the item box at the end.

The best advice though? Stop hunting for specific items. The Desire Sensor is strong.

His secondary weakness is lightning.

I'm HR31 now! Jhen was epic, my friend and I owned him.
