    You probably did, actually. I think I was thinking of Rokku maybe? Let's DO THIS! Especially as I just found out I will be MIA this weekend for the most part. =( ComicFest and road trips. Boo.

    I will be home around 8ish EST tonight, and good for 4-5 hours if anyone is around.

    Lol word. I think you'd dig lance if you learned the ins and outs of it though. The ability to counter is fucking incredible if you learn when to use it. You can put constant pressure on a monster and nonstop attack if you get really good at it (I'm terrible at it FYI, lol. Way out of practice...)

    No doubt. I'll start working on one that paralyzes sometime in the future.

    Nope, I accepted yours ages ago. I just don't have a lot of time to jump on the game.

    I need to make the Depths of Midnight longsword in the near future. 858 raw, 160 paralyze (awakened), purple sharpness with handicraft, and two slots. Really good raw for a status weapon. Just need a few more green nargacuga parts and I can make that beast.

    Completed everything in the village, and just hit G-Rank in the Guild solo on the 3DS! Pretty happy with my progress considering this is my first MH.

    I read that the game does not scale with multiple players.... So basically me soloing G-Rank is the same as 4 people on the WiiU going at it? Kind of shocked lol, but I can't imagine anything being too tough then. I'm holding my own so far. If I had 2-3 other people just smashing things it would be kind of a joke I assume?

    I need a WiiU ASAP!

    You assume correctly. 4 people who know what they're doing and you'll be smashing out some 5 min G rank quests easily. Still fun, though.

    Unless you can't stay connected for more than 3 minutes all of a sudden. Resetting my router then I will try again Wett. If I DC again, I may just stay offline tonight. This is really not the end of a shitty day that I needed -.-

    Room's full now looks like. I will be on for a bit, not sure how much longer. I at least want to see if I DC so I am going to just mess about in G-Rank for fun.

    That gif gets me every time. If only I had more work under my belt with great sword.

    My next big project will be to start making some light bowguns and armor and dig my claws into the gunner scene. Rapid fire just sounds more useful than seige mode in G Rank. Can't see too many opportunities where I'll be able to lay down and just get balls deep into a monster with seige without getting my ass run over. Gonna have to do some research on some good rapid fire element guns and go from there, building armor sets and whatnot to get the most out of them. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    People getting bored or just not enough time in the day? I hear ya on both fronts actually. Saw you on tonight Wett, but your Goldbeard room was full. You get what you needed?

    I decided to go after some Lucent stuff, and I think over the course of two nights, maybe 30ish Lucents, I have seen a single Cloudy. Fun stuff. In other news, I need one more 5 star commodity to have a full Pumpkin X set. Not sure which I will get, the Gunner or Blade. Need a handful more Rusted Shards for a set of Artian. Then I can do some actual... REAL... stuff.

    Just wasn't feeling very social yesterday so I rolled with some randoms with no mic. And yes, thank CHRIST I got what I needed. Made my blade Caedus X, though now I don't even really know why I bothered, lol.

    How difficult is Lucent Narga? Him and Abyssal Lagi are the two monsters I have yet to facemurder. I should be on tonight and most definitely tomorrow if you wanna bust some stuff up. I'm about at that point where I go farm EVERY monster's armor just for the fuck of it, lol.

  14. #1134

    You bothered because why the hell not. Right?

    I would say that Lucent's difficulty all depends on how well you can handle Nargas in general. Narga was my absolute favorite monster in P3rd, and so I have probably fought him and Barioth more than anything ever... and I know you have tons too. So knowing his moves is 90% of it. The other 10% I would say is dealing with Poison. I roll with an Evade+2 / Handicraft / Poison Negate set and my Earplugs L horn and he is silly easy to dodge. His projectiles do pretty low damage, but they knock you down and I swear to hell they know where I am going to be before I do. If I mistime a roll dodge, they are in my face.

    In the past two nights I have been in so-so groups, and absolute effective as hell groups. The latter, we were taking him down in about 6-10 minutes, the so-so groups it was more like 10-15.

    Bring traps (and have fun trying to get him in it), bring flashes if you feel like it to get breathers, and I always bring Lifepowders because he can combo you do death quick. Of course Antidotes if you don't want to use a Negate set. Poison Negate isn't crucial, as long as you are comfortable enough with his move set to know when you can Antidote and heal. You WILL get hit a few times with his lame as hell projectiles.

    I love the fight. It is fun, it is hectic, and I just love Narga. Sadly, he requires an annoying amount of rare stuff to make his sets AND his upgrades. Like I said, at least 30 L.Nargas and only saw one Cloudy. In those 30 fights I have seen 2 mantles.

    To make his set which is nothing crazy special, more of an all purpose set

    Moonlight/Lucent Blademaster - 5 Slots - Carving Master, Sharpness+1, Challenger+1, Self-Defense, and -12 Fate
    Spy/Silhouette Gunner - 6 Slots - Carving Master, Sneak, Recovery Up, Guts (and some close, "maybe with gems/charms" skills 4 Tenderizer, 3 Loading, 3 Evade Dist)

    you will need 2 Mantles, 2 Cloudstones and a Durambolite (1-3% G-Rank Duram)

    Of course then there are the weapons you can make with it. I think that is where I will spend my first Cloudy. On the Mizar's Asterism SA. 1150 Base, POIS 240 with Awaken, 30% affinity, Power Phial, Purple Sharpness.

    EDIT: Sorry about all the words... and finally, I will be on tonight a bit when I get home. Around 8:30pm to 11:30 EST, then off and back on around 1am EST. I would be absolutely down to make a L.Narga Farm room if you like. There always seem to be 6-7 up and all fill fast and have a steady rotation of players when others drop. The Cloudy Moonshard itch has everyone crazy.

    Sounds good to me. I'll be around, and I have a case of energy drinks a buddy gave to me so I don't see sleep happening in the near future, lol. Poison resist uses the same slot to point ratio as evasion so I could probably just use whatever armor sets I normally use and forgo that and have an adequate l.narga set. Unless I get REALLY comfortable fighting him I can't see me going sans poison negate just because I fear I might wing my gamepad through something if I get crossed up trying to eat an antidote and get combo'd, lol.

    Light bowgun question: I'm half heartedly researching different elemental rapid fire guns, simply because it seems like a very effective way to go about getting some basic guns and building effective sets around them. Just wanna make sure I'm on the right track.

    Example: ice rapid fire guns.

    Artica Cannon: 351 raw, negligable defense boost, slow reload, bad deviation, weak recoil, 2 Ice shots per clip, also rapid fires Pierce 1 and 2 (lol) and Fatigue 1.
    Diamond Crest: 325 raw, 20% affinity, fast reload, no deviation, moderate recoil, 4 Ice per clip, and rapid fires Normal 2 and Pierce 1.

    Does affinity affect elemental shots? I think I read that it only affects the initial impact (that does flat shot damage that's pretty negligable) and that the element damage is based on raw only. The affinity would help the normal and pierce I believe, and all around the Crest seems way way better, not even factoring in the very useful rapid fire extra shots it has.

    Am I on the right track?

    Hell, for that matter, should I even be focusing on what the guns rapid fire or should that be viewed as an added bonus rather than THE feature of a specific gun?

    I wish I had more experience with LBGs, but I used a shit ton of HBGs in Portable 3rd and no LBGs. So I wanted mobility, and never used Rapid much as I picked my shots very carefully, rolled, shot, rolled, etc. I met a player last night that was simply amazing with an LBG though, on L.Narga no less. I would hesitate to suggest wading through GFAQs for more info, but I worry that may take longer than it is worth. Maybe someone on here is more familiar?

    Doesn't help, either, that the first thing that I did when I made my God's Archipilago is remove the limiter...

    Oh and this finally happened.

    May just have to teach myself how to light bowgun. Idk rapid fire just sounds more fun than just simply having more power from a heavy (since the consensus, from what I understand, is to remove the limiter and just fire that bitch). I know I could easily start with bows and just use those, and they're pretty fun and all, I just think I'd be more entertained with the complexity that guns bring vs. the more hit and run, charge a shot then book it type of gameplay bows inspire.

    Also shit yeah pumpkin armor, lol.

    There's a google doc a few pages back that Doom made that has a bunch of peoples' IDs on it. It's more geared towards Wii U online play though.

    Edit: found it.

    Also, for those unaware, it is always a good idea to send Friend Requests through the MiiVerse instead of the Friend Menu. Easier to spot incoming requests that way.





    ADD NNID / VIEW LIST

    IC if you have time, and want to add this to the OT, have at it. Anyone else as excited as I am?

    Made it home a bit early, if anyone is around. I will stick around in the BG room for a bit, so let me know here or there!
