I want to ask, kill the monsters directly or capture the monsters is better in the guiding lands? Actually for me the answer is both are the same. When you kill it, you just can dig materials from the monsters like 3~4 times with one new monsters(call-out). If you capture it, you will get one new monsters(call-out) and the extra 3~4 extra materials will go into your report.
Last time, I got argue with a noob leader. I am going to capture a rajang, but the leader keep attack me to avoid me to capture it. I was wasted one of my trap. So I use farcaster to go back to camp to refill a new trap into my inventory again. This time, I wear rocksteady mantle then go to capture. The leader try to avoid me but was failed this time. Finally was successfully captured. So later that, after we went back to camp, we argue each other. The leader just simply to scold me with some rude word, I have really no idea what's the different between kill and capture that makes him so unhappy. He just simply give a noob reason to say kill directly will get more reward. What?? Come on, our reward can be get from report too after we capture it. So in the end, I really give up to continue argue with this noob, since he is leader. He want to kill or capture it's up to him. So I quit from his SOS and go to join another group.
Since that time of my bad experience. Every time when I join another player's SOS in guiding land, I never capture the monsters again unless the leader want to do it. So leader want to kill it, then we kill it. Leader want to capture it then we capture it. As long as leader is happy. There still got many strange players outside there, when we meet someone unhappy then I just quit lah. I'm now MR672 and HR999, not too high rank also but at least got higher rank than many players outside there. I also can solo the tempered silver rathalos, tempered gold rathian, tempered rajang, tempered ruiner nergigante too because i got several sets of HBG that can kill them easily by solo. I also can host myself in guiding land to become leader and ask online players come in to hunt monsters together. My home line is unifi 500mbps, fast and never disconnecting.
Actually kill or capture is no different. Besides that, I just want to go in to do my MR leveling only. I do not mind about what kind of materials I get because I got too many completed set of weapons. I can switch to LBG, HBG, switch axe, insect glaive, hammer. Just only HBG, I already got several types of build. My purpose to play in guiding land just need for leveling only.
Here is the best build for HBG to kill tempered silver rathalos, tempered gold rathian, scarred yian garuga easily.
