So I reached HR50 today, but I don't feel anywhere NEAR ready to face Alatreon. Most of what I've been doing these past ten ranks is farming parts for weapons. The only Armor+ set I have is Leather+ and a few rarity-upgraded Los and Ian pieces. I do have a few kickass weapons, but the majority of them still have a ways to go.
Not to mention that I've only cleared maybe half the 5* Key Quests.
In short, WHAT AM I GONNA DO OMG

For Alatreon you basically just want some armour with decent defense and Fire Res/Dragon Res. I used Rathian+. He only has a couple of attacks that are likely to hit you, one of them is fire element and the other dragon, the fire one probably being the worst.
Blocking weapons are useful but, as ever, if you know how to use it any weapon will work. I used Shadowbinder P as people tend to appreciate the paralysis. However he can be kinda hard to beat with random people, especially if they're as new to him as you are.
holy crap Miz, you're already hr 50? don't you have a job? i know you're not out of your parents' house yet, but by your knowledge of profanities i'd guess 15 or 16.
EDIT: i don't have an official job, but i do house sit and odd jobs. got paid earlier this morning actually

Quick tip for Alatreon: Have a smoke bomb as the first item in your inventory. As soon as the fight starts throw it down. This will give you time to use drinks, seeds, drugs, etc. before he starts to attack.
yeah, i hate having to brb for so long, our old labrador just got hip knee surgery and she has to stay inside her kennel. i have to walk her periodically, then put her through exercises and apply a cold pack to her knee for five minutes. this results in me having to leave, then coming back half a quest later. usually, i feel even worse when they've cut a tail or killed something and i get good stuff. like the rath ruby i got with mizuumi

Are you a lancer? If you are,
Agnaktor+ takes long enough to farm that it probably isn't worth the effort just for Alatreon.
So... is this game worth it if you would mostly (IE entirely) be playing single player? I got it and have only played about 5 minutes. Nothing really, but I had a flash of doubt as I've never played a Monster Hunter game before.

Yeah, like most games, it can stand by itself without online. and don't lance unless you're good at it. the point is to use a weapon you can use. i have never tried the lance because i have zero patience.

almost have my lagi armor fully upgraded to high rank defence. just need some gobul+ fins and i am set. that and 50,000z for my upgraded jaggi mask.
I really like that while it is primarily orientated towards multiplayer, it still has pretty seamless integration of single player into it. you can play it fully single or fully multi but doing both allows for much faster progression and keeps your materials full. though i do hate having to do farm runs, it sure beats grinding for stuff on pawpasses.
Oh man. Had the weirdest encounter ever last night. Nobody was on Minegarde so i was popping around the recruiting servers looking for HR people. went into a room with three people thinking this should be a good one as everyone was aroun 50-60 or so. Immediately my weird meter goes off.
two of them were almost identical which is not uncommon, but these two had long purple hair with leather pants and chakra or no chest armor armed with flower hammers.
they were arguing with some other dude about whether or not he beat something so many times . then i get a message asking me if i was single. i left shortly after.

Lances are arguably one of the more aggressive weapons. Other weapons require you to move around a lot, dodging attacks and looking for openings. With a lance, you can simply walk up to the enemy's face and stab it a bunch.

Dual Deviljho quest just came round for Europe. It is hella fun. Played a few of them with some folks from Minegarde.com, it's awesome when everyone knows what they're doing. With luck we could kill the first Jho before the second even turned up. Best time was ~10:36. And now I have some awesome pants.
yea it is up in the US too. I was doing Peco with some randoms and jho decided to show up. he wrecks peco's shit (which was kind of awesome) and i decide f'that i am sick of him thinking he can do what he wants and and decide to just take him as far as i can last. i didn't expect much since i was armed with the water long sword.
am dodging left and right as my confidence starts increasing. hmm i might make a dent. then 2 others join in seeing me put up a fight. we are lasting and it feels good. then our gunner goes down. then i get pounced and torn apart after i went down, people starting fleeing. and that was that.
okay, i have a huge to-do list; fully upgrade my rathalos armor, my lagia armor(s), get a ceadeus set, and upgrade all possible weapons. for example, the agnaktor longsword, I CANNOT GET ANY DAMN CLAWS!
EDIT: i checked the wiki, it says that a breaking its claws gives a 54%? 52%? chance of a claw reward. also, that guy, Bobofango, pisses me off. probably some 50 year old who still thinks excessive swearing is cool and lives with his mother.

If you believe any of the numbers to be wrong, then by all means, go create your own guide instead of whining on gamefags.com about how you did x number of runs and still haven't gotten that "Barioth Claw".
The purpose of that map is to HELP people, and it probably would've been faster to just make a map key than to spend time writing snarky douchehat comments.
PROFESSIONALISM AT ITS FINEST.
Also, I'm 17, and yes, I do play a lot, but considering there are people who have owned the game maybe three weeks longer than I have who are at HR 252, I think I'm fairly average on the obsess-o-meter.
I still don't wanna do Alatreon yet. I'm having so much fun (?) farming for materials! (Except Wyvern Stones because they suck due to their nonexistence 97% of the time.)
where do you even get wyvern stones. i have a couple but haven't seen any since i got them.

They're basically like plates/rubies for everything too lame to have a specific annoyingly-rare item of its own. (Qurupeco, Ludroth, Barroth, Gobul, Gigginox, Barioth, Diablos, and Agnaktor)
lmao, i actually got kicked off the wiki because i said that KIRIN was based on KIRIN the JAPANESE unicorn, and not QUILIN the CHINESE unicorn. that and i also wrote that Gurenzeburu looks brute wyvernish. i've seen it done before, in the side. if someones not sure, they write: Thunder? or Flying Wyvern? etc etc. wtf is the point of a admin controlled wiki. to an extent, they need some sort of control but FFFUUUU- thats communism.

Willing to bet there is at least one homoerotic MH fanfiction titled "Wyvern Stones."
Just beat the last of the single player quests, woo! Double Diablos was kind of horrifying due to, well, DOUBLE DIABLOS (oh god please don't pop up while I'm trying to finish my sword burst), but it was also kind of fun when attacks were successfully evaded by a narrow margin. I even managed to dodge cleanly through a charge once - didn't even take trample damage!
Though I really do have to attribute my success to my upgraded Rathalos armor (271 defense WITH Defense Down (S)) that allowed me to brush off the weaker attacks and survive getting headswiped three times in a row, and my Amber Hoarfrost (thanks for the tip, Halos) which, with Attack up (L) and 50% Affinity after Critical Eye, allowed me to kill the first before I realized I'd done more than 50% damage.
So, I guess I oughta get preparing for Alatreon, so let me ask this: Should I expect to be dealing with it more on the ground or in flight? (Ice or Dragon?)
man i have so much mats right now but absolutely no money. so many things i need/want to make or upgrade but i can't afford any of it

If you've not done it already you can sell a fair amount of monster parts if you need money. You're never going to need more than 30 of a specific part really.
As for Alatreon you'll mostly fight him on the ground; he's pretty tricky to hit once he's in the air and (with luck) he won't stay up there too long.
So let me say that whoever decided to throw two HR Gobuls into the water arena for you to fight it out is a sadist. Miz and I took that on last night. I knew it was going to be hell the moent i saw that it was in fact an arena event and not out in the wild.
I was glad i was using a long sword since essentially i was just mashing attack attack, spirit combo since i couldn't see anything since i was covered in gobul. I initially thought Bloodsport was crazy, but this made that look like a walk in the park. at least the land arena you have somewhere to run to.
i did get lots of HR gobul parts though. plus to add insult to asskicking. the big reward for this quest are vouchers for food. o_O

Attention all Hunter-type people! I have finally unlocked my Alatreon urgent, so sometime tomorrow- er, today... Saturday or Monday, I would like to tackle it with a group of the finest PA hunters (that means you!).
If anyone will be available, post here so arrangements can be made.
im not going to quote, but why does it matter if a couple hundred people can't use google? not like they're posting post-its all over his house or something.
anyways i have a story, raise your hand if this has happened to you: so i'm in some recruiting city. Rathalos, HR. Some HR 100 or so comes in, full alatreon, blah blah blah. Anyother guy comes in with the same stuff as me, Rathalos +. Like me, he is also seaching for a rathalos plate to upgrade the wyvern fire. he requests i change the quest to capture. The HR 100 says, "i dont do capture", i ask why, she replies, "i can't stand it".. i ask why..again.. and then, here it comes, "i blow wyvern's heads off, i don't capture them to be rich people's pets. wyverns deserve to die with dignity" o_O then during the quest, she comes up with another gem, "whoever dies first buys the mead." so, anyone else here ever had a role-player or over serious person?

He is a bit of a drama queen but considering he's the only one to actually bother editing the wiki it would get frustrating to read nothing but complaints on one of the message boards where Monster Hunter info is collected.
It honestly got ridiculous when people were blaming him of lying about when the All Day Omen event would start a couple of months ago even though his info was from Capcom's community site.

I don't really pay that much attention to him. like i said before though, the admins kind of rule the site. i edited the Kirin page because it sade Kirin was based on a chinese unicorn of a different name. does that make sense? or could it be based on a JAPANESE unicorn of the SAME NAME. seriously, it's a mostly japanese game, and they have a mythical creature (their version of the unicorn) named KIRIN! also, i've seen the wiki is open to opinion, since when someone is unsure of something, they will say so (ex)(Thunder?, Pseudowyvern?, etc, etc) so on the page of that new monster, i said it shared certain traits with Brute Wyverns, yet the wings classify it as a Flying Wyvern. those things i edited, got booted. the damn admins don't want anyone adding information

lmao, ie, Firefight? or Horde? i'd actually like to see a new class: mounts! a way to balance them out would be expenses, maybe a level needed to unlock, weapons maybe a little weaker, different armor and weapons needed. and some new monsters designed for it. i think riding an aptonoth or rhenoplos wouldn't be strong enough, but actual wyverns too overpowered. riding like, tigrex would be a little too powerful. also, make the mount faintable, so the hunter has to pay alot to have it hospitalized or something. also, various mounts. you should get a stable.
anyways, all impossible dreams aside, any good deviljho groups out there? im hr 41, but i have full los +, i don't suck, rather good, only died once so far from him.

i would love to see boss monsters other than dragon types or other winged types. It would be nice to see things like bear or tiger or rhyno type (mammel types) bosses or more bird type figths. how cool would it be to have a net type ballista that would bring down the bird so you can break the wings and keep it grounded. I mean i love taking out some dragons don't get me wrong. it would be nice for some variety.
