Finally hit HR31 last night! I'll play my first high rank mission tonight, can't wait to upgrade my stuff (it's been way too long). I've been on a nice no-death streak recently, I basically never die unless I get cornered on a wall or something, and the camera work gets confusing - with the monster up in your face blocking your view, and having nowhere to run after being stunned, ugh...
By the way, what sort of weapon / skills do you guys use? Currently I'm wearing Baggi armor with Ura boots, for Focus and Capture Expert, and I usually gem Perception (I'm hooked on this skill, immediate capture when low), Attack(M) when it isn't needed. In the end I'll probably go for Crit Draw with Focus, though I've been having trouble getting any Majestic Horns from Diablos. All with a Great Sword of course, the Wyvern Jawblade.
Gah, can't wait to play more later. Looking at my weapon upgrade selection, the upgrades that await me (just from 4* quests) are pretty crazy, though most require pretty rare drops. Not looking forward to that last bit...
