    So what exactly do these voucher things you can toggle at the start of a mission do? I've been leery of poking them in case you want to save them for super awesome things but the UI suggests a limit of 5 total you can have and I'm nearly there at this point.
    Yeah, the limit is 5. Vouchers give you double the zenny payout and give you slightly better loot drops (not much better... usually it's just one item or guarantees the maximum number of item rolls or something dumb like that). They aren't valuable, so burn them with abandon. I like to use them before high-paying investigations that I solo, so I get a lot of cash off of them (not that cash is ever an issue... you can always sell Ore/Bones/Monster Parts for loose change).

    Given my packrat tendencies, that is good to know.

    I'm curious as to how having complete weapon trees visible in-game affects single-weapon completionism. I tend to make every weapon that I can just so that I can have them in my inventory when I look at the upgrade screen. If you can "have" every weapon already there without needing to put in any work, does that ruin the thrill?

    Coming in at the tail end of the deluge here, but could I have acceptance to the Steam Group, please?

    Looking at the weapons, I will definitely be killing everything with the Longsword. Dabbling in other things, sure, but I just like swords.

    Speaking of DLC, I did not get the divine armour or fair wind charm pre-orders were supposed to get, and there's no listing for it in the store page.

    It's in my library as 'not installed' but there's nowhere to install it from.

    IIRC you should be able to just click the empty checkbox in the library to tell it to install it. Beyond that, to actually claim the items you need to talk to the housekeeper.
    Also, there is currently more timed free DLC that you need to register by going to the game's DLC section and hitting Play on them. It'll start the game for some dumb reason, but it will register the DLC, and then you can redeem the old gestures and some of the old haircuts.

    I shouldn't care too much about making every armor piece possible in early game, right?

    just make what you can and upgrade your weapon when you can until zorah 2.0?

    I did like making 3 pieces of Lagiana's set because Extra Quest Rewards is a good set bonus.

    Nope. In fact, you can stack multiple shields on it, giving you increasingly powerful levels of guard (similar to how a Sword and Shield has the weakest Guard and the Lance has the strongest Guard). With 3 Shields and 5 levels of Guard skill and Guard Up, you are a walking Juggernaut that is difficult to kill.

    Secondly I've probably asked this when I played the PS4 version but I've forgotten the responses, when you first get to High Rank, about how far through total game content would you say one is? Sans DLC and the like.

    I have to admit I'm nervous about Arch Tempered Kushala Daora

    That much health combined with that many tornados and Kushala's decreased care for flash bombs means I might need to pull out my actual anti-Kushala set for the first time since before the credits rolled

    OK yeah that.... that cuts down on Kushala's biggest weakness pretty handily I guess.

    I hope they do something similar for Nergigante, but... hoo boy. Kushala. Kushala gonna be an interesting challenge with this setup

    The admiral gave me a mission and told me he doesn't like waiting, so I decided to clear out all these low rank arena missions I had sitting around instead. Only LR left in my list is that saiyan sparkhorse and I have had approximately no luck against them thus far in my attempts.

    man i'm getting back into the hammer

    haven't come up with a diablos/jho setup i love altogether so i'm just running nerg atm

    a couple pieces of drachen and bazel for earplugs 5, attack 4, crit eye 4, health boost 3, crit boost 3, weakness exploit 3, and airborne (does that work for the hammer spin?) and it's doing the job.

    Secondly I've probably asked this when I played the PS4 version but I've forgotten the responses, when you first get to High Rank, about how far through total game content would you say one is? Sans DLC and the like.

    It really depends on how you define content. Are you talking about the last bit of story, when you run out of new monsters, when your run out of new versions of monsters, when you get the best weapons, when you finish upgrading your weapons, achievements, when you can the max amount of skills, when you get enough decorations?

    It's been a while, but iirc, high rank is a little bit shorter than how long it takes to go through low rank, maybe 80% of the total length. That is when you start the tempered monster/decoration/weapon stone grind though, and the length of that all depends on your goals. If you want to get good enough gear that you can take down any monster, it's actually quite short. If you want to take down those monsters quickly, you are going to get more time out of the game. All achievements will take like ~300 hours, but it also depends on what post release quests you have access too (or how fast they release them on PC), and also how much you focus on them. Getting all the decorations you want can vary wildly depending on your luck and weather or not you cheese/snipe decorations. For example, if you want enough of every decoration to max out any skill, then god help you, you are going to be playing this version for the rest of your life.

    If you're looking for the hammer spin I might even take that one that gives you 30% boost right after sliding, you can get silly numbers with that.

    Otherwise this looks a lot like the setup I'll end up using, though I think I'm going to end up going with the Nerg head and an earplug charm

    I know a lot of people like Attack Up but I've never been married to it

    i did manage to cobble something together along those lines for the jho hammer, with just enough affinity to zero out the negative, and but only two crit boost and no slidy-gem, and only two handicraft means it burns through the white fast

    it's ugly as sin, though. my nerg set looks AMAZING

    Totally new to everything Monster Hunter. Having a blast, though. Sword and shield is my jam. And mounting monsters is hella fun.

    So I was listening to the MH:FU install music again (...doesn't everyone?) and I was reminded that back in the day you had to install the game on your memory card so it could load from the UMD and the stick at the same time. Man. MH:W's PC load times are bonkers in comparison.
