Ha ha! Good idea, Midnattblod. So, let's get this started... What's your favourite weapon to use? Favourite armour set? What items in your item box have you never used (and have no idea what they're used for)? Do you have a favourite hunting ground? What is the one monster you love to hunt? What is the one monster you hate fighting? That should get the ball rolling...

well for now I'll answer one of those. my weapon of choice is a bow, and when I feel like using melee weapons it's dual swords. right now I'm attempting to make Bnahabra armor cause it looks really cool on my character but it's such a pain in the butt cause they don't always drop stuff and when they do it always seems to be the one thing I got a billion of.

Yup, the randomised item drops system would have to be about the most frustrating aspect of this game. Some items are quite common while others are so rare that you seriously end up debating with yourself the sanity of sitting there hour after hour slaying a thousand or so monsters just for the slim chance of getting that particular item drop. It's so infuriating at times!

this is my character. bone armor at the moment but working on new stuff. it's so difficult to take pictures of quality with this kindle. maybe I should invest in a good camera. never know when I might need it. plus to remain on topic that's a bow across her back and I'm off to kill giant bugs after a quick cigarette.

Nice! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who makes female characters for his games. I was beginning to think I was a weirdo. (Or maybe we're both weirdos?) Ha ha.
How's that armour set working out for you so far? Liking it at all? I should try and take a picture of my character and post it here too...
You're not going to believe this but I played online with a good friend from the Netherlands tonight, and I managed to get a Brachydios Gem. That is a super rare item with a 2% drop rate, so I was fully expecting that I would never ever get it. I did though, and I'm ecstatic! Just a Brach Pounder away from making the full set of armour now. SQUEAL!

I know a lot of people who make female characters. I do it for all my RPG's unless it's like the Witcher which has a set character.
I actually like the armor, I've used it in every Monster Hunter game I've played. I think it's really good for early game.
and lastly congrats. I also got something I needed for the armor I'm working on, (Bnahabra Wing). I just need like 10 more or so and then I can make the whole set. such a pain though cause you're lucky if they don't fall apart when killed and then you gotta be lucky enough for them to drop the one item you need.

Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one who makes female characters. Ha ha.
What kind of buffs do you get with the Bone Armour?
And, lastly, I'm with you on Bnahabras. They are a nightmare trying to get drops from. They always disintegrate no matter how I hit them. (To be fair, I am using a Great Sword so I guess that has a lot to do with it.) I read somewhere that you can use a poison smoke bomb to make them fall to the ground, and then you carve them that way. I've never tried it so I don't know if that even works.

I will have to keep that in mind. the poison thing.
I'm not sure about the buffs but I do think it has anti-theft. at least in previous games that was one of the buffs.

I finally completed my Brachydios Armour set tonight. She looks pretty nice in it. I'll try to get a photo up here by next week...

I beat the Great Wroggi again and now have the materials to upgrade my bow. I just need the funds. I also got another Bnahabra wing so now I just need another 10 or so to build the whole armour set. I have 2 game days of Bnahabra outbreaks and I will take advantage of them. gonna make more poison smoke bombs and see if that helps.

Let me know how that goes, Midnattblod. I'd be very interested to see if the poison smoke bombs are something that actually work. I'll be playing more MH3U on Thursday with my friend from the Netherlands.

well I just tried the smoke bombs out and they work pretty well though they don't last long so you gotta time it perfectly. I brought 5 with me on a hunt and only took out 2 Bnahabra. I did get lucky with my bow though. all in all a good hunt. 2 wings and a great Jaggi taken out. all in a half-hour. I think I'm gonna hold off on the next piece of armor till I get my bow upgraded though.

Okay, so even with the smoke bombs, time is of the essence, yes? That's good to know.
Good luck with getting the rest of your armour!
I just forged my first slime weapon today. A great sword that lays down some slime when you beat a monster with it, then explodes the slime when you beat it again. Very cool.
