I am already on. Wisdom 3 gate 20 city 20. The usual spot. See some of you soon.

Good run, Metal, though even at your HR Rathalos had a bit too much health for just the two of us.

Lightning tickets are items u get from doing the "Sea Power" event quest(hunt 2 Lagiacrus).

well i'm midway through star 2 quests in offline and enjoying this game.  i spend most my time collecting getting money and trying to upgrade all weapons and armor, lol

figured I would ask now that I have a knack of the game and could potentially understand what you say:

So any kind of helpful info to bestow upon a new guy, like hints, secrets, little helpful advice in like what to hunt, harvest ect.  I found doing the fishing quest and just fishing for like 30 minutes nets some great cash and also doing the god bug in the farm is good money.  Is there a monster I should spend most time slaying for their potential drops or what can you guys tell a nooby in offline to do best.  Should i just rush through beginning fast as can and later fighting stronger guys I get all stuff quick?  though seems i got through a few health potions fighting giant jaggi whenever i see him, so doubtful you can rush through in this game.

like how do you get these charms or whatever they are called, only one i have is the one given by blacksmith?  i dont' see a forge them option from him, do monster drop them?

I am doing that Sea Power quest. I need a couple of more shell shockers and tickets before I can get the Rising Soul. People get missing with the dragonator.

The 18 version is an event quest that only triggers during sandstorms.

The 30 version can be accessed at any time.

I will be on tonight if anyone wants to join me. I will be hanging around the recruiting server doing Sea power runs to get that rising soul blade.

ooh another question, where do you see your HR?

i saw online what it is points wise per level, so i can figure mine out, but is there somewhere you can look like hunter info wise or something that mentions your HR?

I'll do what I can to be there.

Check the Status option in your online menu: your HR and To Go are listed there.

I just finished star 3 quests offline, and I agree the game is enjoyable.
I only have two charms, and the second one was a quest reward.
I hope the pros give you some tips so I can learn also.
