 * Ikoter Yo
 * Here
 * 3:03 Letzplaygamez ?
 * 3:04 Ikoter Im gonna explain some Monster Hunter things to you
 * Firstly, your hunter
 * Your hunter is a genetically modified human who can gain bonuses from eating specific foods
 * Armor must always be matched, in order to give hunter skills
 * Every experienced hunter will hate a random person of lower rank than them who just wears whatever they happen to have on them
 * So, armor sets are important because they grants skills
 * And eating food also gives skills
 * But they all differ greatly
 * Armor skills have much higher significance
 * In Monster Hunter, t here are three main game levels:
 * Low Rank
 * High Rank
 * And G Rank
 * But there also exists Expert level, which contains G rank monsters with a much higher difficulty
 * A new hunter starts at Low Rank
 * There exist key quests in both offline and online in order to help get you up higher
 * But there exists no trading of rare parts
 * 3:08 Letzplaygamez theres so much x.x
 * 3:08 Ikoter You can't ask others to give you parts of monsters they've hunted
 * Hahaha
 * Bear with it okay?
 * This game is the equal of an MMO
 * 3:09 Letzplaygamez well ya that woul make it too easy
 * 3:09 Ikoter You'll be grinding for hours on end to get all that you want
 * I spent 1300+ hours in 3U on WII U
 * And about 360 in 4U
 * Now then...
 * 3:10 Letzplaygamez this is insane
 * 3:10 Ikoter What is your weapon of choice?
 * 3:10 Letzplaygamez ive been using dual swords...for a while i used the katana though since i had upgraded it just cause
 * 3:11 Ikoter Okay
 * The most damaging weapon in the game is the Greatsword
 * When unsheathed and charged to lvl 3, it strikes with alot of force
 * But it is not a weapon for beginners
 * I'd recommend the Charge Blade for beginners
 * Its got a big tough shield
 * And its capable of switching to a powerfull axe
 * 3:12 Letzplaygamez im not a shield person tbh
 * 3:13 Ikoter I myself use the following weapons: Greatsword, Charge Blade, Switch Axe, Long Sword, Hammer, Bow, Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun
 * Lance, Gunlance
 * For beginners, it is best to use a shield, as it saves your face multiple times
 * Cowering behind a shield is strategically advised in Low Rank a s you lack a lot of inventory items
 * You also need to quickly learn monster attacks and know how to position yourself in order to not get hit
 * This should be fairly easy
 * For most monsters t he weakness is: Go in between their legs and pretend to be its dick
 * But usually you will be fine if you STAY AWAY FROM THE FRONT and attack from the sides
 * You also gotta watch out for the tail
 * Some monsters decide to be dicks and spam tail attacks
 * Now then, armor
 * Armor has physical protection and elemental protection
 * A monster might spew flames so it is advised you grab a fire resistant armor, if you have one
 * The phisical defense of an armor is upgraded using Armor Stones
 * Armor stones come in many variations, but dont be afraid to use them
 * 3:17 Letzplaygamez ok...
 * 3:17 Ikoter Only when you get to G rank, you'll think of conserving your armor stones
 * Here, lets get into a room, I'll hunt with you
 * 3:17 Letzplaygamez not right now
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:18 Ikoter You cant, eh?
 * Alright
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:18 Letzplaygamez ima stop playing soon ive been playing for like 2 hours
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:18 Ikoter Also, regarding armor
 * A very important armor is the gathering set
 * A gathering set is a set of armor with specific skills th at allow you to mine more efficiently
 * Mining is very important in the game because it gives you talismans
 * This is a gathering equipment guide I made for MH: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/762804-monster-hunter-4-ultimate/72175518
 * You can read it whenever
 * I should also tell you something more
 * mhag.info
 * Its a site where you can put armor pieces together
 * And see the result of combining armor parts with various decorations
 * Combining armor parts is a technique for experienced monster hunters only
 * Dont do it if you dont know what your doing
 * Decorations, probably you havent heard of them,
 * But decorations are things you slot into your armor, if your armor permits it, to gain extra skills
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:22 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:22 Ikoter Aside from mhag.info
 * There also exists Athena's Armor Set Searching Engine
 * Short for, Athena's ASS
 * This wiki contains links to its last version: Athenas Armor Set Search
 * Athena's ASS is used for putting together Armor sets
 * Again, its for experienced players only
 * At some point, your gonna get there
 * If you keep to it
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:24 Letzplaygamez maybe one day
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:25 Ikoter To be fair
 * At around 200 hours into the game, a rookie will reach G rank
 * But you also have the option of getting helped reach G rank
 * With help from people on this site, you might reach G rank in about 5 hours
 * I think...
 * I'm not sure regarding these numbers
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:26 Letzplaygamez id rather reach it and play it the way i see as the best
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:26 Ikoter As you will
 * Also
 * There are two ways to go about playing Monster Hunter
 * One:
 * You can hunt monsters and gain parts to make equipment
 * Two:
 * You can mine for ore to make select equipment to use
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:28 Letzplaygamez ill end up doing both
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:28 Ikoter Both ways work just as fine, though mining is considerably more advantageous, as you do not need to keep killing a monster over and over again in the hopes that its most raresest part drops
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:28 Letzplaygamez right now what i want most is to upgrade my dual swords
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:29 Ikoter I highly recommend playing through the offline quests
 * The Caravan missions
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:29 Letzplaygamez i am
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:29 Ikoter Before launching into multiplayer
 * Alright
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:29 Letzplaygamez i havent gone online yet
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:30 Ikoter You should know
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:30 Letzplaygamez i downloaded a few quests that were one and two stars though
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:30 Ikoter That G Rank
 * And online quests
 * Those are made specifically for 4 people
 * The monster will have more health than in offline,
 * And that applies for low rank online and high rank online too
 * There is no G rank caravan quests
 * But, the game developers were kind
 * Certain Low rank quests give high rank moster parts
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:31 Letzplaygamez hmm...
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:31 Ikoter Which let you forge High Rank equipment
 * And some high rank quests give G Rank parts
 * Go through as much of the Caravan quests as you can, before launching into online
 * In offline is where you unlock decorations for your armor
 * I should also let you know that not all armor skills have decorations available
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:33 Letzplaygamez how does online work btw?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:33 Ikoter And there are certain armor skills that combine two or three other armor skills into one
 * Ill tell you in a sec
 * Those armor skills that combine other skills do not stack with the very skills you've combined
 * For instance, there is a skill which decreases how fast your weapon sharpness drops
 * Then there is another that does the same thing, but also helps your attacks not get deflected
 * These two skills dont stack with each other,
 * They dont support one another
 * And now, online
 * Do you have your 3Ds on you?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:35 Letzplaygamez yes
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:35 Ikoter Where are you located?
 * Go on, tell me
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Letzplaygamez val harbar
 * i bought all of the chainmail armor btw
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Ikoter Okay, do you see that green button to the right?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Letzplaygamez got 1000 or so left
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Ikoter Where it says, 'world map'
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Letzplaygamez ya
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:36 Ikoter If you press it, you will have the option to go places
 * There are only two places you can go to for online, which are the 'Gathering Hall' and 'Elder Hall'
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:37 Letzplaygamez ya
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:37 Ikoter Though Elder Hall is also sometimes referred to as a hall for gathering
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:37 Letzplaygamez i have dundorma and gathering hall
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:37 Ikoter These two places are the only places where you can go online
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:37 Letzplaygamez and an expedition
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:38 Ikoter When one makes a lobby, they will be moved to one of these halls, depending on the difficulty
 * Low Rank and High rank - Gathering Hall
 * G Rank - Elder Hall
 * It is impossible to enter the Elder Hall without having G rank permit
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:38 Letzplaygamez ill stick with low rank
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:38 Ikoter So if you want to make a room, or join a room
 * You go to the world map
 * Click Gathering Hall
 * And Change Online Status
 * Then you click Online Multiplayer
 * You will need an internet connection for it to work
 * And also, the 3DS uses very little internet bandwith
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:40 Letzplaygamez ima do a search
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:40 Ikoter In a place with shitty internet, the 3ds will be quite fine playing online
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:40 Letzplaygamez for noob hunters
 * so my house is fine then haha
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:40 Ikoter Nah, don't
 * Im not dun explaining
 * As you can see in that menu, you can either create or join a room
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:40 Letzplaygamez ok
 * ya
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:41 Ikoter You will do as you wish whenever you so desire
 * You'll either join or create a room when that time comes
 * You know how 3DS friend stuff work, yes?
 * With the friend code and all
 * Do you?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:42 Letzplaygamez ya
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:43 Ikoter Friend me
 * User:Ikoter
 * My friend code is in there
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:44 Letzplaygamez k hold on
 * mine is 3969-4557-9630
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:48 Ikoter Aright
 * Whats up Zack?
 * My apprentice
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:49 Letzplaygamez idk if im your apprentice dude ._.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:49 Ikoter Oh dont worry
 * You wouldnt be the first apprentice i had
 * You'll like me, I know how to explain things and am patient
 * I wont blame you for defeat, for each mistake is a lesson
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:50 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:51 Ikoter Hmm...
 * What else...
 * The difference between a gunner and a blame master
 * If you ever think of switching to a gun
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:52 Letzplaygamez i have used them before
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:52 Ikoter The gunner has around half the armor that a bladesman has
 * And that is to be expected as he sits away from combat
 * Away from the monster
 * Thus, he would be less likely to get hit
 * And for balance purposes,
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:52 Letzplaygamez ya
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:53 Ikoter The bladesman gets hit more, but takes less damage
 * While the gunner gets hit less, but takes more damage
 * Theres is abalance in place
 * A bow is mostly used for inflicting status effects on a monster
 * That is its role
 * But there are also bows that specialise in inflicting damage
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:54 Letzplaygamez hmm...
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:54 Ikoter The Heavy Bowguns are the hard hitters
 * They are used to demolish monsters with constant barrages of bullets
 * They can hunker down in a rapid fire mode
 * Firing a lot more bullets than their clip permits it, but stopping all movement
 * Then there is the Bowgun
 * Which is an 'in-between' of the two
 * It is very mobile, hits with mediocre strenght
 * And is very useful for applying status attacks to monsters
 * Though not as mobile as the bow
 * And not as strong as the Heavy Bowgun
 * Knowing these things
 * And knowing ALL the weapons in the game
 * Only then will you be able to chose a favorite weapon time
 * Type
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:57 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">3:57 Ikoter There are also weapon combos which are hard to pull off
 * Some are easy, some are hard
 * There exist combos with exploits and other such things
 * Some weapons push your allies around
 * The hammer throws allies like nobody's business
 * Though neither weapon deals actual damage
 * Hmm...
 * What more would there be to say...
 * I wont talk about all the weapons individually yet,
 * I'm going to elaborate a bit on gathering missions, mining
 * There are certain quests named: 'Harvest Tour'
 * These will allow you to go into a zone with no monster in it
 * Ussualy, there isnt a monster, but, a monster can suddenly appear
 * Don't take any gear to fight a monster on a gathering mission
 * When you launch into a harvest, you need to go with a mindset of getting as many minerals as possible and not fight monsters
 * You will memorize where the mining spots exist on harvest tours
 * I myself have spent hundreds of hours mining for talismans and minerals
 * Im not kidding.
 * From mining is where the most money comes
 * You sell that chunk load of ore you spent minutes to collect
 * To gain a lot of money
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:05 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:05 Ikoter Right now I've got 99 times 15 eltalite ore
 * And 99 times 12 meldspar ore
 * These are ores you gain from G Rank harvests
 * If i sell them, im sure to reach the maximum money cap
 * Which should be 10 million minus 1
 * Harvest missions
 * There are two ways you can do them
 * One:
 * Harvest Tour
 * Two:
 * Pick any quest that has as a primary objective to slay a monster
 * Then you must eat food to gain the 'Felyne Explorer' skill
 * This skill will allow you to spawn in the hidden area of the map, not accessible by any other means
 * The 'Felyne Explorer' does not work for normal Harvest Tours
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:08 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:08 Ikoter The hidden area contains extra mining areas with higher chances for good stuff
 * After completing your mining run, you just have to faint three times or complete the subquest
 * Fainting three times is much easyer though
 * On average, a Harvest Tour should take you 5 minutes tops
 * Thats the optimal way to do it
 * At the 2 minute mark
 * A 'Paw Pass Ticket' will arive in the blue box
 * So after that 5 minute harvest, just take the ticket and bring it to the red box
 * And thats harvesting
 * Do you know what Subquests are?
 * Smaller objectives that allow you to leave the quest you're in faster
 * Except it does not mark the quest as complete
 * You'll have to come at it again to complete it
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:12 Letzplaygamez ya
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:12 Ikoter The subquest exists in order to help those who want to harvest where the objective is to kill a monster
 * Or
 * Depending upon the subquest
 * You will do the subquest, but not kill the monster, in order to quickly get a chance at one of its rare parts
 * Food
 * Your food ingredients start at level 0
 * Where as, they basicly are shit
 * If you do certain quests, you will be rewarded with ingredient level up
 * The more level the ingredient has, the more health you will gain
 * 10 health per ingredient level
 * Eating increases your starting maximum health
 * And so, picking two ingredients that have a total of 5 levels to them, 5 stars, will allow you to start the mission with 150 health
 * But if you faint, you lose this bonus
 * The skill 'Felyne Foodie' allows you to keep your health up even if you faint
 * Food fresh-ness
 * If the ingredients you chose are fresh, you will also increase your maximum stamina
 * You gain 25 extra maximum stamina per fresh ingredient  up to a maximum of 150
 * Anything else...
 * Weapon sharpness
 * You are a bladesman, yes?
 * You might have noticed your weapon has sharpness
 * Which drops as you are using the weapon to hit the monster
 * The monsters vary, but there are some really nasty ones which are super armored up
 * Their armored parts will drain your weapon sharpness much faster
 * Skills that lower your weapon sharpness drop are recommended
 * Weapon sharpness levels:
 * Red
 * Yellow
 * Green
 * Blue
 * White
 * Purple
 * Red is the lowest, purple is the best
 * Certain armored monsters will require at least green sharpness in order to damage them properly
 * Any less than that will cause your weapon to bounce off its armor
 * The skill 'Fencing' stops the bouncing form happening
 * But, your weapon will do less damage if your sharpness is not at the highest level possible
 * Having a green sharpness weapon is alright
 * Blue is better
 * White is awesome
 * But purple is fantastic
 * Not many weapons reach purple sharpness
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:23 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:23 Ikoter Those that have purple can cut deeper into monsters armor parts, and the purple sharpness actually boots your weapon damage
 * There are ofcourse skills that can increase your weapons sharpness level
 * Reminder: there is a skill that increases weapon sharpness level and at the same time increases damage
 * But this skill will not stack with the same skill that innately increases damage
 * And speaking about skills
 * Certain skills are... 'pretentious'
 * Certain skills will lower another skill
 * For example, the skill to increase fire damage will cause your water attacks to deal less damage
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:26 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:26 Ikoter While that example is subjective, there are plenty of other 'pretentious' skills out there
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:27 Letzplaygamez i gtg dude
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:27 Ikoter The gunner can chose to have better weapon recoil, which in turn helps him shoot faster, but lowering the reload speed
 * I shall leave this whole conversation on your Wiki page
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:27 Letzplaygamez ok
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(146,146,146);float:right;font-size:12px;">4:27 Ikoter For you to see it whenever you have need of guidance

You can chose to equip armor on him as well, but not your armor. The blacksmith can make armor for him, but not with parts you aquire from hunts.

This will allow you to put armor on them and take one extra palico with you on a hunt. But, your Ace palico must obligatory come with you when you also chose a second palico.

This will cause your Ace Palico to orient towards Attack and increase his capabilities greatly.

These will increase your Ace palico's orientation towards him picking up minerals from gathering spots.
