    Think @Childintime's holiday will be over soon, so if he won't be around anymore during his mornings I will probably jump on more often during UK evenings. Happy to squad up and join people on their story / optional quests.

    There will be a live broadcast on March 14 8pm (not sure which time zone, its Monster Hunter JP that tweeted it) with info about the spring update. Exciting.
    There's also an event quest announced to collect x number of mushrooms, but it has an HR requirement of 30. What the hell do they think will show up?
  • Giving myself a week off this, partly because of burnout but mainly a lack of free time, due shift work & fam stuff. Hoping to kick off again the weekend & the first things to do on the list are finish off the remaining Grimalkynes shiz, make my part breaker hunt clobber & hunt the last Elder on my list.

    @Bollock, let me know if you want to do him in multi player, I'm up for a couple more of him (read, I need parts).

    The bow's a fun weapon, but I do feel like it takes the longest to kill a monster with.

    Aye, played bow over the last 3/4 games in the series & it can be a chore, but to me it just feels right in these games to go that way. It is an education when I watch my lad take down Azure in just over 4 mins(I think if I was even close to his HR & kit, I still wouldnt get close to that time rocking bow), but i'm to stubborn to change so that's on me.

    What's your kid using? I'm usually going flash bombs and sns against Azure (or any family member) it's just a lot of fun. Flashing Azure is actually a bit hard, so might need to switch.
    Watch a lot of Maestro Nox videos, he uses sns and that really makes me doubt my abilities. He only takes more than 10 minutes if it's a multi monster quest.

    Had a good double bow quest against the bomber last night with Child. Not the quickest, but it's the safest way to fight him I think. It's certainly a weapon I'll pick up more often, need to work on that charge evade though (probably into dragon piercer). I don't really get it yet.
    We broke a lot of parts too, which is a really nice bonus.
    Mainly using bow at my own when I want to relax with the game and expedition is too relaxing. It's a good way to learn the moves too. SnS is so up close that I have a lot of in-monster-camera-view. (I know, doing it wrong, if I would feel comfortable shield bashing the head more I'd get a better camera position, but I'm just playing chicken and stab them in the heels, hoping it will trip and I can shield bash the head for just a little bit)
  • Long sword is his weapon of choice this gen. Kid is a sweat.

    Your bow & relax method is the main reason I use it. I mainly play these games solo, well that is till I finish the story(I like to know if I can handle/learn all the game has before dipping in) I will play multi if I'm chasing a rare carve/drop, but for the most part, just love chilling in the environment, taking in the sights & sounds with my trusty palico with my bow slung on my back.

    I find ground shooting a flash at Azure deals with its quick movement better than an air shot, as let's be honest, he's on you from start to fin.

    Good call on the ground flash, hadn't thought of that. It's so fun dropping the monster in front of Child and then seeing that dragon piercer walk over the body. Need to work on my own positing still while flashing, I'm often to far away to get to it which enough. It's so much fun using the flash bomb and sns combo though.

    Long Sword ehh, have only tried that in the demo, felt really good. Curtis uses it too.
    Hate it when people use it online though, they're always in the way. Doesn't matter how much in jumping around, there's always a long sword user around to trip you. Just go and cut tails, let me bash the head with my shield for some ko damage.
  • Internet is down completely for me at the mo - waiting for a dude to come have a look at it, sometime in the next 24 hours. So, won’t be online to co-op until later in the day, at the earliest. Sorry @nina.

    That's ok, hopefully they'll fix it properly, you were getting some disconnects lately anyway.

    Gonna make a gathering set and chill in the game for a bit, maybe annoy randoms with my sns wiggler support.

    You back online? I'm having dinner in a bit but could probably jump on after that if you've missed the hunts.

    (this is if B doesn't want to play anything, if he's gonna suggest Nidhogg 2 I'm gonna cry)
  • I can be online in a bit, sure.

    Nice, I've had my food and B is cursing at his laptop (he got as far as starting it) so will be busy.

    Yeah, was good to hunt with you both. I often miss Ayns, usually see him going offline just when I arrive.

    Got a non-elemental boost decoration. Very happy with that. Was a good day,  made my gathering set, finished the gajalaka (or whatever they're are) quest, got a red complete in 6* and got a new 7* and 9* quest, upgraded weapons, picked up tempered tracks. Need to figure out fishing  got a request for a platinum fish but haven't been paying attention. No clue where to get it 

    Does anyone here have the canteen filled with every ingredient?

    Elder's Recess. Starting camp. Do a 180°. Crawl into the cave. Veer left. Drop down twice. There's a semi-circular pool of water. Platinum Fish are right at the back near the waterfall splashes.

    I have all the ingredients!  They're mostly found by gathering at the special points in each map (flowerbed, cactus, amber etc) and by finding a special one that spawns in a set location whenever there's an upsurge.  Plus a few rare creatures you need to capture.

    I had most of them by the time I started trying  to complete the canteen but I used this food guide and this endemic life guide to get the last few.

    Is there a rotten vale hunt-a-thon quest up?  I need my crowns!  Got a giant gold crown Kirin yesterday so I was glad to tick that one off.  He was large.

    Ooohhh, so I only need to get an ingredient once for it to be permanently available in the kitchen?
    It's a goddamn snoozefest out there.

    Thanks Curtis and Dubs. Figures it should be elder recess for the fish. Haven't done much exploring there, started last night but then it turned night and I could finish the gajalaka quest.

    I've saved the two guides for now, I always thought ingredients would be rewards for (delivery) quests, but after getting a new one from a cactus yesterday I started wondering. Think my gathering set has some ability to make the rare spots easier to find/show up more, so that's nice.

    Guessing Rotten Vale big crown will be this week for the events? I've stupidly ignored them, doing them only once or twice. It was Wildspire and Coral the last two weeks.

    Yeah, I'm PS4 but recent events will have me on for handfuls of time, if at all.

    The Triple Threat Special Arena quest is back at the reset, and its an amazing money-earner for you Bandit Mantle fiends. 

    Just remember to pause every now & again to pick up the gold, because too much on-screen and it starts disappearing.
