Or you can use Goldenfish Bait so you're guaranteed to ONLY get Goldenfish.

C'mon, Fabz!! Haha, we did that yesterday![/quote]
LOL! That's how I caught mine![/quote]
you guys KILLED ME!!!! LMFAO!!!!

and you actually told me we had 2 minutes left only.......

I was Running and Running and Running and Sweating LMAO

asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3




Thats what I thought, haha! I kept asking "Goldenfish Bait? Do we have any?" and Fabz kept saying yes..but was saying you guys had to hurry on catching fish. I'm thinking "this guy is going to go sit up there with 3 Goldenfish Bait, GUARANTEED to catch fish, and I gotta worry about getting 12 Monster Guts!?" Haha, it all worked out, and I suspect WiiSpeak had something to do with it. Fun and frantic, though:

Fabz: How much time do we have left?
Mustache: 6 minutes
Fabz: Aww f***
Mustache: What?
Fabz: We're almost out of time!

(Marsh and I were sitting back at camp, all done and ready to leave, haha!!)


We'll have to do it again sometime soon, Fabz. Lets get you those Ripened Mushrooms, eh?[/quote]

@Fabz

Haha, I definitely told you 6 minutes. One thing you don't joke about is Monster Hunter Quest stuff!!

You know, you can always look on your Quest Info thing and see the time ticking down..
Its Page 3, I believe..
04/29/10, 23:19   
I know but I'm generally too busy running around.

Today I got my rathiel armour back!!!

I'm back to level 14 or 15! This game is more demanding than animal crossing. If you stay behind the only way to reach your friends quests is by grinding 5 levels a day...

It still fathoms me that it's so hard to get thunder resistant armours

and I really need to learn other weapons besides the hammer

Questions

traps

where do you get or how do you combine tranq bombs?

How do you create traps? You combine trap tool with what?
04/29/10, 23:40   
@Fabz

Haha, FABZ!!

It absolutely BLOWS my mind that you're like Lv14-15 in online stuff...but simple, 2-Star things offline give you trouble.

Go in your item box and combine things around. I think you should figure it out for yourself personally, but I'll tell you if you really want...
C'mon, man! Back to basics!!

(Again, I REALLY think you should do this on your own):
(What I know/think so far)
Traps. Pitfall trap = Trap Tool + Net (Net = Spider Web + Ivy? Check on that..)
Tranq Bombs. Tranquilizer (I bought mine..) + Bomb Casing (Bomb Casing = Stone + Sap Plant) Check on these..


I might be wrong on those. I don't have the game in front of me.
--I love the Item Box because you can click Combine, and highlight an item, and then it tells you what it CAN be combined with to make something. I'm CONSTANTLY messing around in there. Good stuff!

Which weapons class are you guys using most often? I started out with the sword last night, and I feel pretty comfortable with it. Still, going to give the hammer a shot tonight.
04/30/10, 00:01   
@anon_mastermind

Sword/Shield, out of the box. I've dabbled in Lance, and I've upgraded those just in case I ever decide to go that way.

heres a pic of my guy so far...

Edited: 04/30/10, 02:31
I like using sword and shield because i am used to the playing style. I hate moving around really slow and this lets me free to distract the boss from the heavier guys
04/30/10, 03:30   
@Scrawnton

Good point, man. I dont' mind being a distraction either...especially when Anand is using a Heavy Bowgun, haha!

The satisfaction of landing a full combo with a giant hammer right on any monster bastards is worth its weight in gold.
04/30/10, 06:09   
Hmm, my copy arrived already! Talk about fast. I played it for a few hours tonight. Didn't instantly grab me or anything, but I can see what they are going for. I imagine the ecosystem gets a lot more complex eventually. I think this will be a good game to play while waiting for Super Mario Galaxy. Rune Factory Frontier is on the back burner.

One thing I'm still confused about, how exactly do you meet up with people online? Is there just some massive name list you select from? And is there any way to communicate if you don't have Wii Speak? Text or anything?

I might try to play online this weekend... though I'm not sure if I will be able to.

Oh... and are there any pitfalls I should avoid? I started off with sword and shield, is that an ok weapon combo to use?
04/30/10, 06:30   
@Zero

i use sword and shield exclusively. I like the ability to move easily in fights and protect myself and others.

Rule 1 about Monster Hunter: There's no "best," of anything. Everything has its use. Sword and Shield is great against some monsters, while giant hammers destroy others. Studying the monsters you fight and such will give you an idea. Some have very thick hides that might be more prone to slashing damage, and when you're online it's great because you usually have a good variety of weaponry.

Someone else will answer the rest of your questions. Trust me, you'll be addicted before long. Monster Hunter isn't one of those games that just "grabs" you, because it's a slow burn to learn all the basics before you really start feeling the thrill of a long game of cat and mouse with no supplies left with only 2 minutes on the clock.

04/30/10, 06:54   
I've been neglecting story mode so much... I'm a city boy!!!!!

Ps. I'll be online soon! Just got home and kind of tipsy = a mess.

and then again Maybe not... I should not play like this...

Finally tranq'd that jerk. 1-for-3, I guess..

I played some offline last night and made it to the Sandy Dunes. I found some Ice Crystals there and finished my Hunter's set. Now I'm working on some new weapons.

I played online for the first time too. I found Scrawnton, but he was in a full room. So I played with some strangers (eventually added one and we talked on Wii Speak, which worked well) and went on two quests that some higher levels picked for us. We got pwned both times by a Royal Ludroth. The sad thing is in our second quest (The Fisherman's Tale), I both wounded its mane and severed its tail, but the one guy that didn't have Wii Speak died twice (I died once (second death in the quest), and that was only because the camera got blocked at the worst possible moment) and that ended our quest.
04/30/10, 16:18   
No, it's three knockouts per team. One guy died twice, and I died once. I was the second death, and it could have been avoided...it was just careless.
