I must say i now understand the frustration of having to "make" everything. I'm gearing up for my first capture quest which, if i prove i can do it, i figure i'm at least ready for online play (though how in the hell do i determine my hunter rank if i've just been playing offline, is it based on what level star quests i've finished?), and i experienced the great frustrations of making Tranq bombs and a Pitfall Trap, hunting first for stones and sap plants to make the bomb casings, then buying Tranquilizer, then making the bomb, and then finding Spider Web and Ivy and buying Trap Tools to make a Pitfall Trap
I got so much Iron Ore trying to find stones, though. 21 pieces of Ore that i really don't have plans for...
Also: how many Tranq bombs should i need to do this (capture Great Jaggi) properly? I have 5 so far...

I just completed my Great Jaggi Capture Quest. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be (I owe it mostly to having much better armour and weapons, and the experience of killing a Great Jaggi previously). Much easier than the first Great Jaggi Hunt. I didn't need to make any items, there were sufficient items already provided in the blue box for the quest. I essentially just used a sword and hammered on it for a few minutes, then it limped off; I followed. Ran around a bit, placed one of the EZ shock traps I had, and stood on the other side of it; the Great Jaggi cherged right into it; I threw 2 tranqs at it and the quest was over. It was actually one of the shortest times I spent on a quest overall.
My only tip, make sure you have good armour (I think all of my armour pieces are 10 in defense, or 12) and a good weapon; I have a regular sword which has something like 152 or 168 offense - found it really effective. I think I used two heal rations, and that was it. I hope I helped a little. I immediately went out afterwards and killed a third Great Jaggi for resources - but as I was carving it, the small buggers kept hitting me away and I didn't really get anything =P
