So part  can be damage by certain damage like slash/impact, like tail cannot be cut by impact damage.
Yes , some material you will need to break in order to get them.

Break all part and then capture them seem to obtained more items in mh3u I think would be the same in mh4u

Some of the rare items only occurs 1 or 2% like brachy gems

I'm currently at 9 star Caravan quest.

Don't have to rank up your HR. But you'll need awesome gears to survive to solo.
So you'll probably end up in multiplayer or something to get better gears to advance in the story.
If you are a veteran probably could survive with normal gears 

Pretty easy to advance in the story, just see what the important people wants you to hunt/capture. Just do the main one which is highlighted most of the time in a dialogue box.
Can always ignore the other minor characters quest like the cook, seller and etc.. But of course food other items might not be unlocked.

Damn son.. First time got carted ever in MH4U by Molten Tigrex.
That combo..

wah , everyone so pro o, im very stingy with my max potion, always waiting my duo pelico to blow their horn to max my health n stamina.

You'll need to join the rooms which have "looking to raise HR"
Make sure the one who created it is same HR as well.

it's quite hard to find randoms to do urgents with you.  so far i've been soloing the urgents just completed the seregios urgent for G1, he hits hard but it wasn't too tough to solo him.

Come la. Add my fc in sig
