Hitting them with tranq reduces their tranq "resist," I believe, it works like a status effect. If you hit them with two before the trap, it'll only take one more once you hit them with the trap. I do that because, well, like I mentioned earlier, there are circumstances where you can run out of trap time (Shock Trap duration is pretty short).

Actually, ever since I got thunderbugs from the trade dude (and farmed a round) I've capped everything I come across. Since I have Perception jewels it's way quicker than killing.

OH - one thing I just realized as of writing this. It takes me 3 tranqs to capture things because I'm using freaking Lag armor. Damnit. I figured that -status didn't effect me since I don't use any, guess I need to jewel that out of -10

Yea your incredibly far man. Me and enix were like DAMN!!!! lol. thanks for the help yesterday as well.

This is good to learn before I craft that final Lagiacrus piece. :o

I got more and more behind you guys. Over easter I was traveling to my family, so only little time for MH on 3DS. But I'm interesting in Online, so Cone: when will be the next european hunt? Or should I start one?




How is Saturday 7PM BST for you? I still don't have the game, but I know there's plenty of people in the OP from Europe!

i can do any time once the update is in... hard to predict access to tv... update for pad play a necessity

That's cool, but if you could make this meet on Sunday it'd be great!

Ended up in an online group with Rathalos...

wasn't too bad. Came close to fainting a couple times, but it was the bow-user who went down twice. Didn't contribute much, sadly, but all the more reason to refocus on farming Rathian.

I'd like to get together with some of y'all this weekend, if you're willing to help me farm for a Rathian Plate, then i can start moving ahead quickly again.

I might be interested

is it just a HR rank 1 mission?

Started a new game as a gunner (partly due to being in a cursed charm table), and did the solo Duramboros urgent quest with a fire bow. If you spend 90% of the time targeting his humps with arrow rain then it's a piece of cake. Not only are his humps weak spots once broken, but the constant barrage keeps his stamina down, and also keeps you at a safe distance.

He was limping in 18 minutes, so I leisurely broke his horns and tail off and the whole thing was over in under 30 minutes. That was with a basic Peco bow, presumably it would go even better with the Arko Nulo R (which I couldn't afford).

gonna go hunting if anyone wants too party up
