Let the Monster Hunters Tri-umph! Lets enjoy great huntingu! #MotK-GuildHall

[WHMZakeri]

I can take 2 Barroths offline with ChaCha, but they were only together for a little while. Fighting two Barroths in an arena-like setting seems nightmarish. :ohdear:

Also, I finally took down Gigginox with major difficulty today. I'm still not sure if I'm ready for Lagi, so I'll probably head online to up my HR some more. I'm 9 now, so I could do that easy Gobul event...

I wouldn't worry too much about your first attempts at fighting Azure Royal Ludroth. He's a bit Nasty underwater, but nothing you can't handle with some thunder resistance and learning to down upwards/downwards instead of left or right.

Though I think I remember seeing an event quest that was Diablos + Another Stupidly Annoying Monster in the arena before.

You mean Jay Leno Urugaan.
Actually, to be honest, the Jay Leno joke is tiring. If Capcom decides to recycle monster designs, I Hope they make a Red version of Urugaan, so I can finally fight the Crimson Chin instead :3

[KOA]

Anyone free at the moment? I'll need as much help as I can getting some HR points to get the Lagi urgent. I'll be playing for the next 3 hours or so.

Go my HR to 14-ish today. Gotta do some capture quests online to get the next Urgent... I think I could do Lagi Urgent offline now, but I think I'll wait and get some new gear online first. Completed my Barroth set, going for Gobul now.

Also, I should play with my female gunny character more often. People seem to like support gunners, and I don't blame them. The nice ones with real skill are always nice to have around~<3

If you're on tomorrow I may help you, but I'm going sleep now.

[WHMZakeri]

Yes. That is exactly what I wish for.

[Cadmas]

I saw someone with HR 173. I really hope that it was a bug or something.

~my god HR 30-40 is so boring. I've been doing nothing ians. I'm sick of ians. The armor is ugly and makes you look like a ninja turtle.

[WHMZakeri]

if you're that bored, you should come help me kill Diablos and capture Urugaan. Then I could help you convince others to do something besides Rathian

[Cadmas]

Ashley dies a lot  :]. Anything I could help with make ya little more durable?

Name's Nekomata , ID is JABGMQ

Still haven't found ya yet.

[WHMZakeri]

Hey now, I've only died once

Spoiler:

Per mission

!

I should probably be sticking to Offline right now, but the Siren call of + Materials is rather loud indeed.

[Cadmas]

I still haven't finished the offline quests myself. I kinda want to have + items just so I can breeze through the offline.

I'll be doing the Four 4 urgent quest for tonight.

[KOA]

I'm online at the very moment, so...
EDIT: never mind, no I'm not.

[Cadmas]

I saw you online, but every time I sent a message it said you were in a quest.

Also failed my urgent mission twice, but I forged the hell jacket thing. Still need 3 tickets and 3 r. ludroth coin fro the sharq lance.

[KOA]

Ahah, sorry for making it so hard for you to contact me. If it helps, I'll hop on #MotK-Guildhall next time I go online or something.

[Cadmas]

I now have 7 iron sword+ thanks to rust shards.

[WHMZakeri]

That would go wonderfully with my Hunting Knives.

The only Rust Weapon I got was a GIant Sword. I'd be much more dissapointed if I hadn't been tooling around on a No Offline, Starting Weapons only character. Knowing how the Charge Shot works and that it's the most powerful skill a GS has really improved my opinion of them.

[Jana]

I got a Sharq Lance today, and I used that awesome water damage to start work on my Hellhunter's jacket. I should have it later today or tomorrow, and then get back to regular HR grinding...

Also, I do think the event quests were scheduled with the intent of letting people get the Sharq Lance for usage in the 2 Barroth quest. How nice of them~

[Cadmas]

I almost have the lance. I still need 1 ticket and 4 coins. I'm not looking forward to grinding those coins.

Also upgrading non + armor is such a waste. Every piece of ingot + has 1 more dragon res point than level 7 ingot,
and the hands and belts I believe have 3 gem slots instead of only one.

And I am broke once again with only 3k gold.

[Jana]

I got lucky and only needed 3 goes to get the five coins because I got 3 in my first win. I think it's random since I did shitty with the SnS and GS, and I got 3 coins with SnS and 1 with GS... And then i owned with Hammer and got 1 coin anyway.

[Cadmas]

Yeah tickets and coins are pretty crazy with their drops. I've gotten 7 hell hunter tags in one run and somethings 0 in others.

Got my 1st rusted weapon today. Its a Great sword after getting 8 iron sword+.

Alright I got another one! Now I can dual wield Rusted GS's for GREAT JUSTICE!

Now I got the Ancient GS so those rusted ones are now useless.

[Valentinya]

I just bought a Wii and Monster Hunter Tri last Friday. Last thing I did offline was that driving off the Lagiacrus urgent quest. As for online I'm still trying to get enough points to reach HR 8 and move onto the rank 2 quests. Grinding the same 3 monsters over and over again is getting pretty boring though. But at least Nobu and Jana have been helping me out the past few nights when they were on. Thanks guys.

[Cadmas]

Wish more ian users would use the demonic blessing that comes with the armor.
Had a guy using it with a great sword. We downed pretty much everything up to ian in under 5 minutes.

[Nobu]

Lol, seriously? Me and a few friends have been farming rusted weapons, and so far only one person has had any luck. And they got two rusted greatswords.  :derp:

Wait, demonic blessing? How is demonic blessing ever a good thing to have?

Sometimes increases damage taken. 25% chance of attacks doing 30% more damage

The description kind of sucks, but that's damage done to monster not yourself.

Basically just about every time the guy hit ian something would break off or ian would get knocked down.
So everyone pretty much killed the thing with no fight.

I'm usually not so blunt, but you are completely mistaken. Demonic Blessing increases damage *you* take, not damage you deal to the monster. It's the inverse of Divine Blessing, which gives you a 25% chance to reduce damage you take.

Think about how ridiculous that is. That's a skill that would give 25% affinity+ flat, with no drawback, as part of getting a skill in the negatives? On Rath armor no less?

There's a reason you don't see people with that skill on their armor, because they gem it out. It's a drawback, not a benefit.

Well that's what I thought too, but I'm more than sure Demonic blessing makes you take more damage but you have the chance to deal more out, and divine blessing make you take less damage but you deal out like a pansy. G rank ians don't die in 3 minutes to a single person wearing ian with a cataclysm GS using no demondrug or mightpills without something else.

Check Reign of the Rathalos's Damage Calculator. Check any and every faq, guide, damage equation calculator, and any places that has people talking about Monster Hunter, good armorsets and skills, optimum damage, or anything. There is absolutely nothing out there i've seen that would even suggest that that demonic protection does what you claim it to do. Hell, even the in-game description doesn't even support your statement.

I'm sorry if I'm being rather adamant about this, but from my viewpoint it's like you're trying to tell people that Mega Potions don't recover HP.

[Cadmas]

Well I know of demonic protection in MH2 really sucks and does as you say, but I think people are missing out.
Capcom may have changed the mechanic and most people don't realize it yet.

As for me this is kind of like saying I saw big foot taking a dump in Moga woods so I can understand.

[WHMZakeri]

Nine out of Ten Anonymous agrees that you're on crack, Cadmas.
The Tenth was JDMalkavich, and therefore saged the thread calling everyone casuals, but a voice is a voice none-the-less.

It's a Negative Skill. Negative Skills are never suppose to be helpful, ever. Not even on accident. Unless Capcom screwed up coding somewhere, while technically possible, would definitely not be intentional.

Tell me, though, was the guy you were fighting with using an Ancient/Rusted GS? I Know I could probably down everything in five minutes once I upgrade my Rusted GS to it's last level without an attack buff.

[Nobu]

Yeah, the damage those things can put out is sick. Especially if you get Artisan and purple sharpness, which is a flat 25% damage boost from White sharpness. Essentially like having 100% affinity.

As for me this is kind of like saying I saw big foot taking a dump in Moga woods so I can understand.

Wait you saw that too

[Cadmas]

Na hes using a Cataclysm Blade and ian+ armror. The guys name is william should be about hr 40+
Has this obsession of going after Deviljo. Seems pretty confident he can solo him.

Aside from that I have the Epitaph Blade now!
