Looking at the trophies, it looks like the crown ones are the hardest/rarest. What are those? How/where do I get them? & can I check to see how many I currently have?
Monster sizes. I think they're based on random chance so they're hard to get.

The crowns are related to the size of the monsters. Abnormally large monsters give you a large gold crown when you beat them and abnormally small monsters give you a small gold crown when you beat them. You can check which crwons you have via your guild card. Some quests (like the current event "Deep Green Blues) give you a higher chance at getting crowns and some (like the Street Fighter event) guarantee a crown.Looking at the trophies, it looks like the crown ones are the hardest/rarest.

No. In high rank expeditions, there are various places you can find tempered elder dragon tracks... For example, Ancient Forest, in Rathalos nest, there should be some tempered Kushala wind scrapes... and the area in Wildspire Waste, around the sandpit area, there's tempered Teostra tracks. The process is time consuming, but it's better than nothing. Conversely, some have just been farming tempered Nerg tracks since he's like right outside the camp (11, I believe) and only travels around in that area, but that one requires you to have a tempered Nerg quest.
Did anyone ever get a capacity boost gem? Do they even exist? If it does, this little gem will change so many things about my CB builds :l
Yup they exist and are called Magazine Jewel 2.Did anyone ever get a capacity boost gem? Do they even exist? If it does, this little gem will change so many things about my CB builds :l
As a new Hunting Horn user, please post away :P

It drops both.Thank you.
I'll definitely check out the "Deep Green Blues" quest -- can it drop large or small crowns, or does it just drop one or the other? Sadly I don't have a SFV save file on my PS4, so I'll miss this event. Hopefully future events will guarantee crowns as well.
Future events will have guaranteed crowns, for example the upcoming Mega Man event has you hunting gold crown small Odogaron.
The save file requirement is just for early acces to he quest. It will be available to everyone at a later date. And even then I've been offering to host the quest for people a couple of times and so far nobody has shown any interest.Thank you.

Not always, some parts are common between both but you might have to go back to LR to get some parts. Thankfully you'll find it really, really easy by then.Question: do i still get low rank rewards from hunting high rank monsters? I'm trying to get a Legiana webbing but it's listed only in low rank rewards
What is the best palico gadget? I still use that healing one after all these hours... Any recommedations on wich others are handy to use?
It's straight forward in most maps, it's mainly Ancient Forest that's badly designed, even if you know your way around, it still takes too long, there's just too many unnecessary corridors and verticality in that map.If you're having trouble getting to monsters on the map:
Got my Nergal Impaler last night and also enough to build the final Garon lance. Still completely in love with the lance but considering trying out the gunlance.
- Search YouTube to learn all camp locations.
- Learn where monster nests are and monster routes.
- Once you spawn in, check your map. Where is the group leader? Place a tracker on them and/or fast travel to a camp near them.
- Seriously abuse the fast travel mechanic. I'm on an X but it's so fast and convenient.
- While you can track a specific monster by pressing R3 and selecting it, I find that actually opening the map and pressing R3 on the monster to track it is far more reliable in terms of scoutfly behavior.

The Gunlance is very fun. I watched a "how to gunlance" video on Youtube to learn all the moves and once you get a handle on it it's capable of insane damage with similar defensive capabilities to the standard lance. I'd invest in some Artillery skills to really push the damage that much further.If you're having trouble getting to monsters on the map:

They all have their uses. The flash cage is super useful. Plunder is great for farming materials. Horn is also great is you are good enough to manage your own heals and let the Palico buff you during a battle.
Thanks i will try those all out!Meowlotov, is very good. I notice my cat is way more aggressive, I'm not sure if its from him being level 30 or not though. There was a Nergigante hunt I had where I woke him up and my Gajalaka Tailraider and My Palico destroyed him in about a minute. I can't remember what I was doing but I know I was contributing much after I woke up the Nergigante.
My two tempered Betelgeuse hunt was kind of boring... Both of them ended up fighting each other and ran into the valley where the Gajalaka partners just curb stomped them with explosives. Most of their HP was gone by this point so about 2-3 minutes later they were both dead. It was the easiest multi-hunt mission I've probably played in the entire series.
Does anyone think the success of MHW will revive a bit of the population of 3U on Wii U? I think I''m going to pop that in again.
Have you tried the Legiana gear to get Legiana's Blessing? I feel like it's helping me farm.Been farming HR Rathian for the Ruby for the past 3 days and I just cannot get it. I am severing and carving the tail, Palico has plunderblade, and I'm running investigations with gold reward slots. This is comical how bad the drop rates are. I have over 20 Plates and not one Ruby.
It strikes me as odd since obtaining other HR gems/rubies took, on average and with optimal behaviours, 5-7 runs. Meanwhile, I have over 40 HR Rathian slays/caps from the past 3 days of farming.

I find it bizarre that the Melder exists, and was clearly intended to reduce gem/decoration grinds, yet she totally fails in that capacity.
The gem exchange item can only be obtained once a week, the decorations you can trade for are useless...
The toughest quests should have given golden prints.
Don't you need 3 pieces not 2 for it to work? Is it the lr or hr version? And yeah I think you need to be host.Good point. I forgot to mention that I am running 2 pieces of the HR Legiana set for the Good Luck bonus. This only applies if you are host though, right? I have started running solo so that other people dont cap the Rathian since I need to focus on carves and breaking parts for the Ruby.
Oh shoot. You can get the Ruby from the Melder? I will check her out. Hopefully I have the mats!
Tempered Jyuratodus is so damn easy. Literally destroyed it with 3 other guys in like 6-7 min each time. It was a capture investigation so we didn't want to accidentally kill it, heh Did it all 4 times for easy mats and levels.
None of the tempered monsters have been difficult for me. Haven't still played against tempered Elders though.
I did not know how you unlocked more Palico gadgets. I should have done all this stuff a very long time ago.
I'm giving LBG a try now. Which weapon do you prefer more bow or lbg? LBG just seems to be missing something to me.
Sucks when you SOS for a random who didn't unlock all camps. Dat run back.
When someone hasn't unlocked camps and they join someone's game who has, they actually have the option of starting at those places. Afterwards you get the delivery mission to have it yourself. Honestly this is how I got the majority of mine before exploring the maps for myself. Them starting in the starter camp is mostly likely why I do as well...... When joining SOS you mash your way to quickly join the quest and that's the first option. Otherwise you wait a second later and you can't join since it's full.
3 for LR. 2 for HR. 3 HR gets you an additional bonus for Bows, IIRC. I have 2 HR pieces since I am a Long Sword user.Don't you need 3 pieces not 2 for it to work? Is it the lr or hr version? And yeah I think you need to be host.
Rathian Rubies kept dropping for me and I'm not even making any gear with it. I swear as soon as you start building on a tree, they hold them back, lol
Bazelgeuse really likes to come when a monster is nearly death lol. Guess he comes when a monster cries loudly.
