Monster Hunter Tri Entry 2: Of Jho Captures And Hunter Ranks


Blessed Blade

932 views

... Dangit, now I'll need to get a new category for this. >_>

 

So, anyway. I'm really liking that new Jho Capture mission. Why? Because I've already captured him approximately five times. Got the first form of his Longsword, which is awesome, even if it needs Awakening to actually get it's Dragon Element.

 

The next thing, is that I just got to HR 40 last night. I've been authorized to embark on 5* Missions!

 

That means that all I have to do is get to HR 45 or 46 in the next little while, and I'll be able to get every single High Rank item in one way or another; barring those stupid Conqueror's Seals. >_> I do need to own HR Lagi a few times though; getting either Lagi + Armour, or just plain upgrading my Lagi armour is a very good idea to do... And it means I get a head start on upgrading my Helios Armour once I start getting those Seals.

 

Also; I'm not good at all against Diablos +. Found that out last night. =P

Say; that's the next thing I need to rent; then I can actually do PVP against you. =P

Darn you. :P

 

Although the opportunity to whack you with a gun and shoot you in the head my calm my rage.

 

...

 

Man, maybe I should just take a few weeks off of video games. xD

 

But wait, you captured the Deviljho? Is it weaker than the normal one or something? Because I have a friend who (aside from being probably the best hunter ever) Ranks up even faster than you, and he's still terrified of the Deviljho.

1. Likely would. Unless I headshot you a lot. xD(Should get to practicing on the n64

 

2. it might be, dunno. All I know is I did capture it. =P Event quest is fun.

 

Though; he does still own me a lot. xD

Yeah, I saw that you had gotten his LS and been using it. That's good. We should do some 5* quests soon, since those are much more challenging and fun, and I can help you get those quests done! Particularly, I need Stout Horn from 'Blos, so I can aid with that.

 

And DDude, it's not that Jho has less health overall, it's just that it goes a little faster because you don't have to take all of his health. It's still a tough mission, especially in the cramped quarters of the Flooded Forest's land areas. The Tundra Jho quest is the one I swear by -- the areas are best to fight him in, and there's the secret area for him to unlock when he's weak.

Ballom: Tell me 'bout it... I can't count how many times I've died in 7. >_^ Or jumped off the cliff by accident. =P But yeah, it still takes a while, though. He has a ton of health. ._.;

 

Sure; I saw you on last night, but it was right when I had to get off. =/ Sometime today good?

Link to comment

It's worse when Jho knocks you off the cliff. =P

 

And yeah, definitely. Maybe within the next few hours. And when we do I can try out my new Alatreon Metamorph I'll be making from the Azure Dragongem I got earlier. >:D

 

Oh, also, because I didn't mention this earlier: I have to final form of the Jho LS, and armor to awaken it with. Neener neener. :P

1. I see how it could be. xD Heck; he knocked me from 7 to 1, so I get that. =P Rampaged to 1, and took me with him. xD

 

2. Sweet. =D Sounds awesome. It's Rank 45 when you get to tag along on Ala quests, right?

 

3. Nice. =O I need Lagi+ armour to do that properly. That means I need to own a bunch of Lagi+. =P

It's 45 or 46. Can't recall at the moment.

 

And as for the Lagi Armor, here's a tip for getting awaken more effectively: Use the Low Rank Lagiacrus chestplate, and everything else Lagiacrus+. The reason is twofold: The chestplate+ needs two Sapphires and two Plates. That's a lot of rare materials. However, that chestplate only gives +1 for Swimming, +1 for FreeElement, and +1 for Elemental. If you use the Low Rank chestplate, it has +1 Swimming, +3 Elemental. Thus, you still get Olympic Swimmer and Element Attack Up, and you save all four of those rare items. And to get Awaken, all you need is one Jewel somewhere on the armor (I think the necessary Jewel needs a Lagiacrus Horn+, but that's not that rare).

 

That's what I did with my Lagaicrus Gunner Armor (which has the skill points for Bonus Shot spread similarly), and it saved me a ton of time in grinding for mats.

k, that's what I thought.

 

Ahh, that's a good tip. Thanks, Ballom. =) What'll I need to OverForge my Lagi Chestplate, though?

 

Is the jewel 3 slots, or is there an upgraded jewel that's three slots?

Link to comment

To overforge the Lagaicrus Mail, you need Lagiacrus Hide+ and Bathycite Ore. Nothing too special.

 

As for the Jewel, there are two jewels with points for FreeElement. One is one slot and gives +1 (that's the one you want; the one needing Lagiacrus Horn+ I mentioned), and the other is three slots and gives +4. Obviously, the latter is excessive, and needs Alatreon parts anyway.

'k; that should be overforged soon then.

 

Ah; okay. I only remembered seeing the +4 one, but yeah; for what I need it for, it's extremely excessive.

 

What's the volcano hidden area like?

Link to comment

In appearance, it's a little hidden alcove above Area 8. In items, it's gold. A bug spot with lots of Hurcudrome, Thunderbug, and Rare Scarab, and a mining spot with Shining Charm, Carbalite Ore, Timeworn Charm, Firecell Stone, Hard Amor Sphere, and the coveted Ancientshard. Once you have enough Dragonbone Relic from the Tundra, go there every time you get Explorer.

Sweet; sounds like it's awesome. =O I'll have to go check it some time. And ooh, Area 8. Makes sense now. Always thought that area had something more to it. =P

Link to comment

It is indeed awesome! Although all of the Ancientshards I've gotten from there were garbage. :P Or maybe my Ancient GS or Lance came from there, dunno.

 

Ironically, I got two Aquamatic "Longshot" (ancient bowgun) from the Poached Wvyern Egg quest when I was looking for Ancient blades. :rolleyes:

1. Nice. xD I've been trying for the Rust Shortsword, but haven't had any luck at all. =/

 

2. Sweet; sounds awesome; even if I'm not a gunner. =P

 

3. Got my first Lagi+ capture just now. And wouldn't you know it? First one gives me my first Horn+. =P

Link to comment

I want both Rust and Ancient Swords (I have the gems to fully finish them), but I can't find them either. :(

 

And yeah, the Longshot is great. Rapid fire Clust = ownage. Especially with Bonus Shot and the bowgun maxed out, like I have!

 

Also, that's good. Speaking of which, I think I'll be able to get online to play in the next ten minutes. After one more hunt, would you be willing to wait for me?
