Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
And here we are.


THE WORLD AS YOU KNEW IT CHANGED ON MARCH 19TH

Game IS NOT Region Locked: NA + SA CAN PLAY with Europe + Australia + Africa(?)

Sorry,
Asia!


*THE DEMO IS A DEMON, JUST GET THE GAME!!*




Welcome to the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate thread! This will be our headquarters for coordinating our Hunts, sharing stories of war, and helpful hints for our brothers-in-arms, compatriots, friends, and neighbors. Please be mindful of folks' different definitions of "spoilers," and remember that not EVERYBODY played Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, though everybody totally should've.


The "burden" of running this thread has been placed upon me but...I can't do it alone. I will lean on Maxi and others to help with the heavy lifting occasionally, both in planning things and also in feeding this thread. Please keep it bumped (once we get going). If you could, let us know if you're getting this game, WHEN you're getting this game, and what your aspirations are so we can get us situated in groups with likeminded people. Do you want to barely play this game? Is this going to be your new #1? The most fun with this game is had when you get to go out with a group of guys week in week out, so if we can find someone with a schedule similar to yours, you'll have the most fun with it.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
I'll probably be on today-ish. When's everyone jumping on?

... I wanna eat.

Let's run with the Devil today!

@ludist210
I spent SO LONG trying to get Rath Rubies last time. So long...
05/08/13, 03:57   
@Anand

Run the Devil? TERRIBLE idea. What is your fascination with Monster Hunter death?

--Rath Rubies: I think they'll give them up easier this time (as with W.Stones). Though I've seen none yet....

EDIT- I need an upgraded Lightning Weapon before I even think about Jho; Zinogre to start?

I'll be on in just over 1 hour.

Loggin' out now, see ya soon!

*ahem* Lagombi. 2:59.
05/08/13, 05:15   
Yeah... 3x disconnects has blown my mood. Gonna stay offline for the night. >:(
05/08/13, 06:19   
I did the even quest last night for an hour or so. The one where you hunt the Tiny Uragaan. I got the nifty event weapon and I'm close to completing my g rank Uragaan set.
05/08/13, 15:26   
Edited: 05/08/13, 15:27
@Scrawnton

Tiny Uragaan? So faster and more ridiculous?

Still no Lagia plate after ten captures last night (all horn busts, and all but one tail carve too). I would like to finish this weapon sometime soon...
05/08/13, 15:46   
Edited: 05/08/13, 15:46
@ludist210 he's actually really tiny (smaller than cha cha), really slow, but does tons of damage.
05/08/13, 16:58   
@Scrawnton

So he's like the rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Interesting...
05/08/13, 16:59   
The weapon you make off this event quest is a sword and shield that does 280 raw damage but 500 lightning. It is amazing. It's not the best weapon I have because I completely maxed out the Brachydios long sword tree, but man does it hit. It's nice to have a great SnS weapon at this point in the game when I went solely Long Sword.
05/08/13, 17:08   
@Scrawnton

I'm not a Sword & Shield kinda guy (but Mustache is), but I do have a Brachydios Axe that I'm working on maximizing. As it is, it's pretty amazing. 874 power and 220 slime...I can straight up kill lower-tier large monsters before they flee the room. I've done that several times with the Lagiacrus.
05/08/13, 17:11   
I'm rockin' a Brachydios Gunlance. I almost upgraded it yesterday. (Just one more goddamned Pounder!)

Haha, Brachydios stuff is so overpowered. Slime 4-evar!

@Cryojin
Dude, your internet was the LVP yesterday.

For various reasons, Robbo and I abandoned about 10 quests total.
05/08/13, 19:09   
@Anand

Problem is to upgrade what I have to the Dios Axe+, I need a Brachydios Gem, another Brachydios Pounder, and five Azure Rathian Carapaces (this component shouldn't be too hard to get, but I have to go capture a couple first).
05/08/13, 19:17   
@ludist210
Why are you capturing everything? Do you have Tranquilizer, or something?
05/08/13, 19:30   
@Anand

You get better stuff for captures...don't you?
05/08/13, 19:31   
@ludist210
Hmm... I don't want to say definitively one way or the other. I think certain items might be more likely with certain methods. Plus, you can get Carve-increasing bonuses sometimes.

What I CAN say is that the more you break a monster up, the better. Every additional injury increases your parts and chances for gems, and such.
05/08/13, 19:35   
@Cryojin

I saw that you stinkin' snake! Get to work on Plesioth while I challenge your time!

@Scrawnton

Spoilerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

@Scrawnton

Agh, what are you doing to me!? ...

We don't have access to those Quests at all. You gotta be HR6 or higher to do them, and as you can see from our list..
05/08/13, 19:45   
Blahhh I'm sorry. I'm gonna try to keep my Friday open incase anyone wants to play. I can help.
05/08/13, 20:06   
@Scrawnton

I'll be on Friday. I wanna do those 3x Plesioth and Uragaan Quests. Spoiler tags, Scrawn, spoiler tags!

I'd like to get that 4p HR3+ Arena in the books, too.
05/08/13, 20:09   
oh sorry for spoilers. I forgot you dont like to know anything that is ahead of you. I don't ever do Arena quests. For some reason it is something i dont do. I like using my own character and my own progression.
05/08/13, 22:11   
Edited: 05/08/13, 22:12
5 Star(?) Offline Quest: The Herd Mentality (G-Jag/P.Rath) Quest is one of those ones where you might as well Capture everything as you can only carve Mega Potions. Rewards a Commendation though, too. Mixed emotions with that one since I -need- Commendations. Perhaps I'll finish off my Plesioth gear for Tranquilizer before heading back in numerous times. Experiments forthcoming (might be able to use my Torso Up pants w/o issue..).

@Scrawnton

Its still you in the Arena, just with other armor. I know what you mean..but you can only get some stuff that way.
Are you saying you WON'T help me at all with that?

Just getting it straight before I half-expect something that isn't going to happen.


And yeah, I've been waiting for a Sword & Shield reward to pop up..and I guess I know where it is now. *sigh*
