Actually in the whole entire game:

1. Only 3 armor sets activate sharpness +1, and 2 sets are actually the same except low and high rank
2. Only 2 sets of armor nets you HGE, and both again the same, except 1 is low and the other high rank
3. Technically you only need 1 GS (end game) for the entire game for a GS user
4. GS damage has been nerfed, but added ability to KO monsters

yeah and you need to "grind" to get special charms if u want to further customize ur armor set.

the 2nd last boss armor has only 3 slots if not mistaken...

using hammy on rathlos is a constant cycle of repitition... i wonder if i could even stomach killing 20 more rathalos solo with hammy.. rather used GS for a change.. heck i even tried using DS.. LoL~

but using HBG on rajang, nagacuga and kirin is the best/easiest... u just have to let go of the melee mentality and holster that HBG if you are not using it.. its all about the timing, aim....and PATIENCE!

Progressed to Nekoth's (Felyne Elder's) quests now...

Wonder if I should clear more guild quests? HR3

i d recommend ranking up till you're hr 9 then going back down to finish all the quests. it ll be much easier that way coz u ll have better armor n weapons

so basically, only 2 armor with artisan in high rank for mh tri?

Some info from this week's famitsu taken from 2ch. Will be constantly be updating this post when more info appears on 2ch.

!!Updated the bow section!!
!! Updated the Dual Sword section!!

- There will be 14 types of weapons this time. 11 from MHP2G and inclusion of Slash axe and changes to old weapons. Bowguns will be based on MHP2G's system (no seperate parts) Note: How they come to 14 puzzles me. Unless they will be revealing new weapon types or it's a typo.

- Infrastructure mode will be the same as MHP2G. DLC quests.

- Evil Jaw (t-rex like monster in MH3) looks like it's confirmed, Lagia and Ancient Dragons aren't sure yet.

- Water battles omitted.

- Kanji, Hiragana & Katakana can now be used to name your character (thanks to the Famitsu survey it seems)

- 2 Otomo Ailus can be your companions and there will no longer be Kitchen Ailus.

- Power ups before a mission will be available at the open air hot springs.

- Can't transfer save data from MHP2G but there will be bonuses for having the save data.

- Gathering spots will be fixed unlike MH3 which was random.

- Some monsters has a stamina gauge, just like MH3.

- Big monsters will eat small ones to recover stamina.

- Slash axe will have poison element and stamina attack (KO attacks)

- Dual swords now has an upgraded power up mode (Kijin mode). The new upgrade for Dual Swords is an additional Kijin gauge. You can charge the gauge when you attack in the regular Kijin mode. When the gauge is full, you can unleash the powered up Kijin mode and your attacks will be stronger and movements faster. Looks like you also get new attacks while in the new powered up mode.

- Hunting horn can now play music while attacking and an inclusion of a new front and back slash attack (cutting damage). As you attack enemies, music notes are built up and you will get the bonuses when the correct combination of notes are collected.

- Gunlance has quick reload that can be chained to a full burst attack.

- Light bowgun can step like a lance after firing a shot (MH3)

- Heavy bowgun can fire while crouching. In that mode, multiple shots can be fired at once and you can't move.

- Bows will have a new shot type, "High angle shot" basically lets you shoot the arrow upwards and the volley of shots will hit the enemy when they land. This "high angle shot" will have spread, concentrated and burst shot types. When you're aiming, a circle will appear on the ground indicating where the arrows will land. Think of this as an arrow shower type of shot. It can also drain monster stamina.

- No changes to great sword but damage might be improved.

- Tachi (not taichi!) aka Samurai Sword, has the left/right step and slash attack like MH3 depending on which direction you are pressing. There will be 4 levels of gauge which can be strengthened by using the final 360 slash in the special attack (r button).

14 weapons..

1. GS
2. LS
3. SnS
4. DS
5. Lance
6. GL
7. SA
8. Hammer
9. HH
10. Bow
11. LBG
12. MBG
13. HBG

Missing 1

Just one month + left. Gotta finish fatalis fast...!!!!!

Why left 1 month?

Well that's because you still not have Narga X set yet I assume. Just wait til' you have one and HBG is really gay with Evade+2 & Evade Distance Up, if you dare, you can use Adrenaline+2 for fast kill.

There's a lot set you can mixed up and I give 1 example like Narga X set just replace the helm to Blango Z (recomended to Female character) and gemmed for Auto Reload, you will get Evade+2, Evade Distance Up & Auto Reload. Buy HBG/LBG that got many type element bullets you can shoot.

Good Luck

Lol forget it, too much of a hassle posting the scans here with the image limit.
