Killed the pink dino. This game is a bitch.
Pretty much exclusively Longsword since 3U, but I am strongly considering getting into Bow and/or HBG. I almost have all of the top-tier LSes and blade-centric armor I want so I might start devoting resources to learning and upgrading a ranged weapon.
Some of the enemies are a pain in the ass with a melee weapon so I think it'd be a good skill to have.
If I was going to go with another melee I'd probably go Charge Blade or maybe something like Lance or Gunlance.
Yeah, this is my first MH, but it really seems like while melee weapons have mons that can be annoying, ranged can be used on everything without having the same problems. Charge blade is pretty fun. Getting sweet SAED hits is super satisfying. Definitely a fairly complicated weapon to get used to, though. Especially, compared to something like long sword.
I got a bow set going and, I think I like it...a lot. Need to work on my weak spot aiming but the ability to constantly put out damage and not worry too much about being point blank is nice.
Started with the Kadachi bow, but I think I want to farm Legiana for the ice now as well.
What gear are you bow guys using? I'm about to start trying to put a set together for bow, but I can't decide what to use outside of Legiana armor being pretty good for it.
Ugh this double Bazelgeuse hunt is awful. It's super annoying to do as melee, and people love to blow themselves up trying to be heroes. I've failed the hunt probably close to 15 times tonight, and it was only my fault once lol. I've gotten to the point where the second one is almost dead and had 2 people die in a matter of seconds because they got excited and tried to end it. I ended up having to turn it off for the night since I was just getting frustrated. I really think I'm going to make a decent bow tomorrow, and give it a go as ranged. Whatever asshole dev came up with this monster must have really hated melee weapons.
I’d do that one solo then. For the most part let the bazelguese fight it out run around and smack them when you can. They are decently easy to evade. Just wait until you get to Kirin and hr 100

Got the Rainbow pigment tonight, super pain to get. Not even sure its worth all that effort.
I'm pretty sure I did that quest randomly online...it was a cakewalk with 4 people (though I think at least two of them had done it before or knew what they were doing, they had traps/bombs set right at the spawn for the second set of monsters), haven't tried to solo it (I don't think I even have it unlocked yet, technically).
I believe you get the Research Commission ticket which allows you to craft the Commission Armor set and some high-end charms.
Made the Tobi Kadachi bow today and threw together a set for bow. I also got lucky and got a bow charge gem doing a tempered hunt. Bow feels pretty legit. I like being able to basically do constant dps. With CB there can be a lot of waiting for an opening to unleash SAED.
Lucky bastard...I've only gotten a bunch of crap decorations so far.
you can cheese the decoration melding. It takes a bit of work but every time you finish a quest save your data then copy it to a usb drive. Go back into the game and meld your decorations if you dont like it copy the save from the usb back over. The gems you get reset every quest, so thats why I said after every quest.
Yea I get that. I am end game right now so I am looking at exploring multiple builds and need to be really efficient with the decoration melding.Yeah, I am familiar with "save scumming" as they call it. No real issues with it morally, but I'm just too lazy to waste that much time on it.
Plus really, the decoration stuff is just min-maxing at end game. I don't really feel inadequate with my current gear. Though, I would like to have some Earplugs... (or that bow deco mentioned above)
