I'm not sure I'd call myself a hardcore player, though I did solo everything up till G2; although I only really did the High rank gathering hall quest's needed to advance my level.

I guess it would help to know what your play style is. For example, if you are a Blademaster, making Regios S &/or Garuga S once you're able to would help. Poison or Paralysis Weapons are Nice for Solo, IMO; though I find Paralysis works better with faster weapons while Poison works with Slower weapons, but again, that's just my opinion.

Also, using Bread + Fish and picking Stew, for the Weakener effect might help with farming for what you need.

Lastly having 3 Healing Palico's and 2 others of your choice in you 1st stingers(or whatever it's called again) and using your highest level Healing Palico with your leader Palico can help keep you alive while doing quests. This is assuming you don't know about this already.
