@stratos they do but I've gotten more than enough people swarming over how they want my GQ who are unaware of how it will reset to its base level when I give it to them.



Also what are these 'paintballs' of which you speak? I don't understand... Do you not get these fancy little icons to help you tell which monster is which and even change color based on whether the monster is or has recently been aggroed by a player?

How can you people live your lives not knowing what direction a monster is facing before you go into the zone where you'll fight them? This is madness.

Oh you and your auto tracker! In my day, we hunter monsters based off of their scent, tracking, and with only sticks and rocks! You and your fancy skills...

Funny how many people don't realize it resets to it's base level. You should just give it to them anyways and let them find out the hard way.

So I couldn't sleep last night and decided to get the DLC and hunt some G-Rath. Walked away with two mantles, two rubies, and almost enough materials to upgrade my bow and build a complete gunner silver rath set. It was a good night.

@stratos Oh, and it marks Dalamander's head and tail as separate entities which is nice, although i don't plan on repeating that fight very often.

I'll take on the subspecies for palico gear and I'll be done with it.

As much as I love autotracker I still say they could throw in a map... Maybe the ability to beam monster locations to other players once every few minutes would be nice...

Oof, apparently Velocidrome sucks at getting divine armor spheres, that's annoying.

Guess I'll have to try and farm out a new set of guild quests. In a dual monster quest the reward quality is determined based on what monster is on the right so if I get something like a Deviljho or Rajang on the right with something easy like a velocidrome on the left we'll be golden.

The best way to get dual monster quests is to go through the everwood killing everything in sight (a maximum of 5 monsters can appear and killing all of them will ensure you get at least one.) I find that this is relatively simple (note: I did not say easy or painless) with the food skill Felyne Foodie helping you keep your stat boosts. (although that black diablos still managed to cause me to cart like 8 times while I was fighting him,)

Basically, this means I'll be save scumming for foodie and felyne defender (hi) and going through some mad dash in the g-rank everwood with my Palicos to kill everything and snatch anything they drop.

Yeah the harder the monster the easier it is to get the spheres.

It is possible to get the spheres from easier monsters you just have to level up more.

LV136-140: Velocidrome/Yian Kut-Ku/Blue Yian Kut-Ku/Basarios/Ruby Basarios
LV126-140: Tigrex family/Zinogre family/Diablos family/Plum Daimyo/Yian Garuga/Gore and Shagaru/Seregios/Bracchy/Kirin family/Kushala/Teostra/Chameleos/Rajang/Deviljho

@NinTemple_Maxi Which is redundant when you realize that the 136 set drops them nowhere near as often as the ones who start dropping them at 126.

You're lucky to get one sphere from double drome, never mind the three I got from a Chameleos.

Meanwhile, in the Everwood:

Hey everyone today is Monday! We will be playing at 5:00 pm PST today. hope to see you all there.
07/07/15, 00:53   
Got a room open for those that would like to play. 49-0486-3257-2741 is the room ID.
07/07/15, 03:00   
I can join in for a bit!
07/07/15, 03:39   
Bumping for great justice!

So we missed last week but is anyone able to play on Monday?
07/19/15, 15:54   
I plan to plan tomorrow. Also playing tonight if anyone wants to help me level my level 136 QC starring an apex Zinogre. I named him Zinny. He is NOT tamed.
07/20/15, 03:15   
I might be out this week. My wife has a late meeting tonight, so I'll have to take care of the kids by myself. I'll hop on if I can, but I can't promise that I will be there for sure.
07/20/15, 17:03   
I will make a room in a little bit. I lost track of time and I am in the middle of a quest but will make one once I am done.
07/21/15, 03:22   
Made a room.
07/21/15, 03:34   
Yeah, that didn't quite turn out how I hoped. Life hits us though and we continue on. Better luck next time!
07/22/15, 04:42   
Holy smokes this game is popular. Monster Hunter 4 ULTIMATE has sold over 3.9 million units!

That's a lot of monster hunting going on. That reminds me, I should get back to it soon. I keep getting distracted by Super Smash Bros.

@GameDadGrant
Yayyyy.

Monster Hunter might be the only third-party series that I genuinely care about.

Edited: 07/31/15, 06:46
@GameDadGrant To elaborate, that's the worldwide figure, so Japan makes up the majority of it with over 2.5 million sold there. Still, selling over one million outside of Japan is a good number for this series.
07/31/15, 23:54   
@Anand

The only third party series you care about? C'mon man! What about Mega Ma...oh wait. Well, there's still Castlevan...er...hang on. What about Final Fanta...um.

Hmm. You might be on to something here.

@Mop it up

Agreed!
