Yeah any moisture on the thumb just makes the nub infuriating
Obligatory: That's not what she said?
But yeah after extended sessions it gets kind of worthless for camera purposes. I'm mostly a target-cam user, especially in the monster's personal space 90% ofthe time.
Dang y'all get through this game fast. I'm over here still in village 2. And forget online halls.
Anyway, where does one get shiny beetles?
Through the game?
I am just getting started.
Mostly just huntin' monsters.

Shiny beetles seem to be a rare/uncommon drop from most insect nodes early on

Also my hands definitely are starting to feel the strain of constant hunting; part of it is i haven't playe a high intensity game like mh in a while and part of it is the 3ds
Any particular recommendations on grips or will any old one from a store do?

If it's old 3ds the Circle Pad Pro is the Cadillac of grips even if you never use the slide pad.

I've got the CYBERGadget one from Japan. Was pretty cheap to import and is absolutely perfect to hold. Not had any problems with my hands cramping up or the right corner of the New XL digging into my palm since I got it.
Edit: The one Entaru linked is the same as mine. It's great.

A new one, the circle pad pro was a godsend back when i used it but sadly it doesn't fit with the new ds or i'd use it
Ahh. Then I highly recommend that cyber grip. It's really comfortable.
I've had a few marathon sessions where I've walked away from it just having enjoyed it with no issues. Saturday I played for 7 hours and had no issues with hand pain.
Mostly just huntin' monsters.

Apparently some people on reddit have found that if you rip off that nub and plug one of the original PSP thumbpads onto it, it works fine. I'm really strongly considering it.

I am doing this and you are an awesome individual for making this known to me.
Edit: I just ordered the replacement cap. It'll be here in a week and I'll let everyone here know how it went.

Both me and my hunting buddy bought these specifically for MHG. While it's not exactly like a real controller it's like 80% there where it's more than good enough for me to forgot I'm holding a gameboy.
It got brought up last page and I can confirm I spent way less time with MH4U than I otherwise would because of how tiny and annoying it is to hold a 3ds, even the new 3dsXL, to do anything. I'd probably already be done with MHG without that grip and made portable MH worth it.

Funny enough, looking at that page, one of the "Frequently bought with this" things is PSP-1000 replacement joystick caps
EDIT: The most important part in Coal Hearted is turning in the coals one at a time and doing it in a Wireless (not Offline, so Ad-hoc local or Internet) lobby. A brief experiment confirmed it for me, although admittedly, I only did 3 or 4 trials each time.
It's funny because I got a fast charge +5 3 slot charm from like.. soloing my gammoth urgent or something but have absolutely no plans to use it.
Now a vault charm? I have no idea what the max there is but damn I need one.
Vault goes up to +5 and can be found on Shining (2 slot max) and Timeworn charms (3 slot max). Plesioth armor (full set, which does not have a waist, as usual) has both Vault and Mounting.
down for hunts all day today, got a hub opening just doing charm runs (cmon +5 fast charge 3 slot)
...what is this Sakura method?
unlock the coal hearted quest (it has a quest log related to killing offline astalos, pulling out sword from kokoto, and then offline tiggys and a hr 5 triple desert monsteer quest)
its a HR volcano quest that has you deliver 10 coal.
its bugged though, so if you do it on local wifi or online hub, delivering 12 coals (10 + 2 more) ONE AT A TIME gets you max rewards for row 3, which is 6-12 timeworns + fuciums and firecells.
so the idea is:
eat for explorer, gather at secret 6-8-9-10
should have 10 coals by this point, farcaster back
deliver one by one
go to area 1-2 get last 2 coals
turn in again, one at a time
5 mins is my usual time, usually net between 12-20 charms (mostly timeworns) and around 15-35k cash depending on rush/ancient shards and how many talismans you keep
I would really like to do more grouping but am very self conscious about how bad I am. Also, the few times I've asked in discord everyone was already busy. Just keep asking in discord?

I would say just make your own hub. I'm sure there are people willing to backfarm since there are so many weapons to make if you feel like you're behind on hunting rank. Also there might be people who are interested in hunting but just aren't actually in the discord voice channels since they're waitin for a spot in a full group to open up or something. Never hurts to keep asking.

I also went back to adept lance because it feels way too good to me even with the brokenness of striker.
That reactive block feels so satisfying.

Ceanataur S is really good. I just made the Narga duals and I have a 70% affinity. Sooooo many pretty red flashes.

Short version: There's a quest at HR6 that's a little buggy so you can get max rewards in <5 min for charm running.
Gaijin has a guide video for it up.

Now a vault charm? I have no idea what the max there is but damn I need one.
And then you inject the Frenzy Virus.
Does affinity max out at 100%?
Nope 100% is all the time.
but. . .
You've just given me an idea. . .

Oh it's super quick to overcome it AND you get 30% affinity. I see. . .
XBL:Phenyhelm - 3DS:Phenyhelm
So I'm guessing that the Magalas show up?
Critical Eye +2, AntiVirus, Critical Boost and Repeat Offender.
20% affinity, 45% after an attack 50% after 5 attacks, 80% when hunter art is up and 1.451.4x damage for each critical hit.
If I use a weapon with any affinity at all the numbers go up accordingly.
XBL:Phenyhelm - 3DS:Phenyhelm
You're right it's 1.4x.

Because man me with a longsword or Gunlance is pretty horrible.
