I recommend changing your palico type to gathering in the character creation menu for experienced hunters. Default is healing type. Gathering type I feel is the most helpful at the beginning to get extra mats

[@greebrotf8724]

Thanks 😎👊

I didn't even know u could do that

I'm not abandoning my palico now. 120fps at 4k looks nice tho.

Keep up the good guides cause your videos on monster hunter got me into playing the monster hunter games

[@HardmodeAsgore]

Stumbled upon this helpful vid. Started off in the MH series like Day 1 World and got about 1.5k+ hours. Rise is definitely a breath of fresh air, so to speak. Fast loads, insanely fluid combat, and all the village hubs are connected without loading screens. Never knew the giga-wirebugs were permanent, so that's a huge help. Also never knew about using jump after a wirebug swing for a little extra height/distance. Only gripes so far are that anything name-related is dependant on Internet extremely *despite* never knowing if it's censored even if you're connected (Trying to change names on bad/no net just says 'Unable to check entered text' without any delay.) and that capturing is insanely rough starting out. I don't think any quest pre-requisites are like World's where you need to capture literally everything, and capturing is only an *alternative* to killing, not a requirement, but if it's anything like World's system, capturing is typically better than killing until you get skills dedicated to it. Other than that, I'll miss the ability to catch endemic life to display in your room, but otherwise love it so far. Thanks for the tips. 👍

[@HardmodeAsgore]

@@BLOODKINGbro Silver linings; Can't change your name in Rise, I don't think. Making an alt gimmick character built around a specific weapon or event is kinda' natural. My 3 MHW slots are a main with 1.4k~ish Hours, a dedicated Dante slot with about half that, and a dedicated Geralt slot that's woefully unplayed. (No MR Geralt set hurts MR progress, and while Igni isn't god-tier, it's the equivilent of a wide gunlance shell doing pure fire, which is solid for things like hardened Lavasioth). Granted, only solid gimmicks I see from Rise Events off the bat are Arthur from GnG and Akuma from SFV, but those are solid in their right. (Especially Akuma with the dedication to animations.) Don't think they'll make a traditional data share because of how competitive the big 3 companies are getting, but maybe they'll do something unorthodox, like offer the save data rewards from earlier titles as low-cost DLC, maybe even free, depending on severity of fan complaints.

Cahoot Nest have a 5 quest refresh. You can go after every quest but after 5 quests your rewards stop stacking.

[@massojupiter3436]

One thing I noticed is that world is more detailed and has way more features as opposed to rise. I would guess that's because rise was originally for the switch which is not as powerful of a console. That being said I'm liking rise right now but world just has way more to offer.

Question for our main Palico what skill should we go for

[@wiper5195]

Prolly healing or gathering

[@BookkeeperGaming]

For experienced hunter I feel like the gathering type is better. I highly recommend changing the type in the character creation menu since that is really the only type you get to design for free. Also, you will get to start with a gathering type than the default healing type and start leveling it before the buddy plaza opens up.

[@handsomejack672]

Gathering type to progress faster.

[@noahbernstein5536]

Gathering for yea Gathering and you need one Palico for harder quest when you have trouble so Gather Palico wont help mutch in this fights. So i can recommend Asiist Palico because of the silk bind move who keep monsters on place so they cant fly or run to you and because of the poison trap. Free poison damage and free hit damage because the monster stucks. The other skills who are random i would recommend 2 slot Heal bubble, 3 slot monster mine or vase of vitality but i prefer monster mine. 4 slot Shock trap or shock tripper if you play hammer but i prefer shock trap. Passive knock out king, part breaker, and status up. Give your Palico a weapon with status like shock or poison. I think thats the best Palico you can get. By the way you cant take two Palicos with you so take one Assist one Heal focused. Dont bring the dog is only good for traveling and you are not mutch faster with the dog when you can use silk to move fast trough the map.

[@Suiiiiii733]

So you cant do assignment quests online?

[@WesleyFiles]

Key Quests? I haven't played this game multiplayer much, but it is my understanding that only a few missions are forced single player, and otherwise you can expect to do most of the story progress with friends.

@@spleen1108 Hold on don't give up just yet. Ive done some research, and though you cannot play village quests with others It sounds like they mainly serve as tutorial quests that do show some story and cutscenes, but hub/multiplayer quest also show story and cutscenes. From what I looked up its kinda half and half. So do some solo to get introduced, and then you can do hub quests with your brothers, and still more of the story as you rank up. I think...

[@kevinuribe318]

I played the game on the switch so much when it came out so I can answer that for you. Yes you can play any mission with your friend only after you finish the solo missions after that you’ll be able to complete any mission. The hubs ones would then show a separate category of the story missions that you had to complete solo. It’s strange they took this route but also during the campaign story you’ll have to complete hub quests to finish the story meaning you’ll be able to invite whoever you want.
