The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

The mechanic of monsters leaving the area is basically there to keep people from farming them in expeditions.

Which is why he doesnt do it.

Which is why nobody does it, really. Expeditions, from what I can tell, are mostly for farming gatherable materials like bones. If you can get a monster kill out of that, then that’s just lagniappe.

That’s exactly what they’re for. They’re fun for goofing off as well because of the lack of time limit and there are the researcher quests but they’re basically for picking flowers.

Learned this the hard way tonight, as I tried to snag Bazel Goose, while farming Odogaron, for the first time on mysecond play-through account after screwing in the Vale.

Both dipped out after about 20 minutes.

It sucks that the monsters I want to farm for high rank investigations have not been unlocked yet.

A lot of the time they do consistently spawn in low rank quests. You can kill them if you know where they are. There is a Ratholos in the low-rank Kula-ya-kut quest for example. Diablos is in the Barroth one.

Your best bet is to just power through the assigned quests though. If you’re strong enough to kill them you’re strong enough to get through to where you can farm them legitimately.

This is why it’s best to just continue in the story until you at least get to the last boss. Good news is it really doesn’t take long to get to the end once you’re in high rank

Just finish the story. There isn’t any fight there where you’ll really need optimized high rank gear. The first fight where I felt I needed to create a proper anti-xxx set was the HR49 tempered Kirin fight.

Besides, most likely you’ll end up crafting bits of Dober Armor, all of which us materials that you get as rewards from the Elder Dragon assigned hunts.

There is not enough Seregios or Tigrex in this game. I hope Capcom add Monsters regularly.

Game needs more monkeys. When’s Rajang and Blangonga?

@FrostyAU @Gasaraki @d3v
Noted. Thank you for the advice!

Someone I play with said that. He’s like why aren’t there any monkeys or insects. I mentioned Kecha Wacha and Seltas. I hope they do introduce some of those Monsters as it would be great to just show someone Tigrex instead of telling them about him.

Be careful what you wish for. Imagine down the line when we’re all trying to dodge shit being tossed at us by Congalala, as Bazelgeuse looks on and laughs at us getting a taste of our own medicine.

On a different note.

finally got around to getting all of the the Palico gadgets… now onto getting that damn affinity booster and the other mantles. Also farming horns of the black / diablos / nergigante / kushala kind. I wish you could meld those items.

Deviljo is out apparently.

I just updated after just got back on for the night!!
I ain’t ready for “The Pickle” bro!!

:scream:

Just wait for Savage Jho. You don’t know the meaning of pain until those things are barreling at you.

Gear seems to be a mixed bag. Armor seems great if you need Latent Power and Handicraft (but only on alpha). No attack boost.

Some weapons (GS, SA, Hunting Horn, etc.) are great, others (HBG) aren’t. Seems to depend if they can output enough damage to get past the low affinity and the lack of non-elemental boost. Also, none of them have deco slots.

BRAUN Jhoman! IS HERE!

When the PC version comes out, they should mod it so that has it plays the start of Braun’s theme (where it goes BRAAUUUUUUNNN) when Jho appears.

That said, Jho’s own theme is much closer to Samoa Joe’s though… hey, Samoa Jho kinds fits better.
