Good day gentlemen. I have been keeping tabs on this thread since i started playing MHFU 3 days back, which is also when i just got my PSP. Currently I'm still at Rank 4 Elder Quest. I hope I can rely on some help if need be.

Why thank you good sir. At the moment i'm progressing slowly. I currently have hermitaur and kut-ku blademaster armor. I mostly use melee weapons. I'm trying to craft Monoblos set but I can't seem to get Blood Red Horn.

I would like to know if there is a Monster Hunter Gathering around Subang and Sunway area, as I do so love hunting in groups. But so far i only rarely hunt with my college mates. Also i have a question concerning Executioner Great Sword. Would it be better to upgrade it to Agito or Sword of Diablos. Currently though I'm using Ravager Blade+ over that because of the sharpness. Although I do keep a large assortment of SnS, Dual Swords and Bows.

Also I would like to know how to acquire thunderbug juice.

Thanks for the info. I'm still learning to fight monoblos so I still have problems attacking his head. I change weapons depending on the monster and what i feel like using, mostly I use great sword though. I haven't encountered any thunderbigs yet.

Well yes i made em get stuck on the wall, but its not like he goes to that area all the time. Cutting off the tail isn't the issue. And i don't really use hammers.

You can't really judge the game by playing 1 mission let alone the 1st training mission.

Indeed, I think it would be worse though. If the camera auto-rotates to view in front. Then you can't keep an eye on it when you're circling and looking out for openings.

I never fought anything stronger than gypceros before this, but im getting the hang of it. I just made my ceanataur armor, took awhile to get the damned pincer.

Does anyone around Sunway or Subang Area wish to have a regular gathering?

Is it possible for me to get Rathian Plate from 2 star gathering Hall?

Heres a story.
There once lived a big bad dragon. He was just chilling. Then i introduced him to the pointy end of my sword. Now I has some sweet pants.

THE END

I also like the idea of killing an Aptonoth and then making a Bone Blade with it, then going back to the same place and kill another one and then say "This use to be your sister"

If anyone is interested in a gathering subang, sunway or PJ area?

Just defeated HR3 Shen Gaoren. I feel cool now.

Why thank you good sir. I'm not awesome enough to kill it yet.

I suggest using fire elemental SnS. Since other than electrical breath, all off his attacks are blockable, and just avoid em when hes enraged.

It really depends on your playstyle. Although all weapons have their pros and cons. You should try each weapon out in the training school.

Me persornally, I like using all the Melee weapons. Maybe with the exception of gunlance.

A short summary of the weapons would be

Sword n' Shield (SnS) -Low Attack Power, but compensates with a wide variety of status ailments and elemental damage. Also allows the user to run and use items with the weapon drawn. Weapon attacks as if it has +1 to sharpness even if it does not appear to be. Has quick draw ability, allowing the user to instantly guard from unsheathed weapon position.

Great Sword - High raw attack power. Slow movement speed when drawn but has fast draw attack. Can charge its vertical slash. Also has quick draw ability and your kicking is slightly faster. I mostly use GS cause of the charge attack and cause i like big sword heh.

Longsword - Also has high attack power. Losses the guard and charge ability but gains the Spirit gauge which when full, increases attack power and sharpness. For me, this took some getting use to. But i'm sure Kazeru could teach you more of the longsword.

Hammer - Highest raw attack power, has less sharpness than GS or LS but does impact damage which is better against certain monster types like Ceanataur and is better at breaking horns, shells and such. Also has knockout ability which can 'stun' a monster if struck on the head, which is one of the main reason people use hammers, in my opinion of course. I use hammers against monsters that i've learned their attack patterns, so I could get some shots at the head and KO them. Also hammers make me feel manly.

Hunting Horn - I'm not sure where HH stand in attack power, but its pretty high I guess. Allows you to use the 'recital' ability to play notes and 'buff' yourself and the party. each HH have sets of 3 notes, each of a different combination. really useful for party play. Some Horns are even guitars, so you can skill monsters with the Power of Rock!

I don't really have much to say about lances and gunlance as I rarely use them. But I like big shields . _.
You could find out more at monster hunter wikia, and watch weapon video tutorials. You could also go to Minegarde forums and read the guides they have there.

I think its all about the skills that the armor gives.

I mean like Guard: +1
or Attack: +2

I don't really care for element resistance since enough defence would megitate more than the res the armor gives, but i've just only reached high rank quest so I won't be able to say much about res usefulness deeper into the game.

You gotta break the ears on the kutku. Attack its head until you see the ears become all torn.

I like to switch weapons according to what i'm fighting and what i feel like using. But I mostly favor the GS, Hammer and LS.
