 * Achieved HR2.

MHF2 - Currently Doing
...

=Why I joined this wiki=


 * I saw so much info that was missing and I have that info.
 * To help others.
 * This is one of my sources for information
 * For the cookies. :P
 * I always wanted to have a page about my monster hunter experience. :P

=My Goals for this wiki=


 * Add missing information about monster habitats, weaknesses and specialties. (Working on it at the moment)
 * Add hunting strategies to all the monster pages of the monsters I've fought.
 * Improve it in any way and help out users (could be personally) with their hunting problems.
 * Make pages focused on mh2.
 * Fix spelling/grammar and remove unnecessary words.
 * Help fellow wikipedians with their projects if requested and help improve it.
 * Remove spam and vandalism and undo edits involving these 2 things.

Currently Focused On

 * Monsters.
 * Monster Attacks.
 * Monster Guides.
 * Spelling/Grammar.

Wiki Pages I've created

 * Offline Mining Guide (MH2)

- Started on 24th september 2008. - Completed on 26th october 2008.

Wiki Pages I will create

 * MH2 offline Red Bubble Request Guide.
 * MH2 offline Elder Dragon Hunting Guide.
 * MH2 offline Guild Quest Guide.
 * MH2 offline Village upgrading Guide.

Wiki Pages I might consider creating
These projects are very tiresome and hard to make. The game is completely in Japanese making it even harder for me.


 * MH2 offline weapon trees.
 * MH2 offline armor guide.
 * MH2 Skills Guide.
 * MH2 offline combination guide.

=Recognition Awards Aiming For=

Especially the skilled warrior and Monster Worker.

The Helper Award - gives their time to helping people in the forums. The Good Citizen Award - helps people, makes good edits, and has less than 3% of all edits as vandalism. The Grammar Master Award - is recognized for fixing a great amount of sentences or replacing words with better ones. The Skilled Warrior - Known for being skilled. Monster Worker - Recognized for working extensively on monsters.

=Monster Hunting Guides I Wrote=

Note: This does not mean I created the page! I only wrote an actual guide over the information that was standing there before I edited it!


 * Bulldrome Guides
 * Yian Kut-Ku Guides
 * Cephadrome Guides
 * Kirin Guides : The SNS guide (The Strategy is actually non weapon focused) :-)
 * Lunastra Guides
 * Green Plesioth Guides (both strategies currently written there)
 * Rathian Guides
 * Daimyo Hermitaur Guides : I wrote the SNS guide. (Though I haven't been referring to particular SNS attacks that often)

I'll be scanning through the monster guides of monsters I've fought a if I see a un-organised wall of text I'll delete that and write my own guide with my particular style. ;)

Currently got my eyes on
For the moment absolutely nothing. I'll look around and look for something to write for.

=Personal=

Interests

 * 1) Nature
 * 2) Sports
 * 3) Survival
 * 4) Medics

Hobbies

 * 1) Playing Videogames
 * 2) Watch TV
 * 3) Fitness excercising

Monster Hunter
I own both the original Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter 2 (dos) for the PS2. I'm very eager to play the portable versions but I don't got a PSP... yet.

Achievements

 * 1) Fully cleared MH1 offline except for the troublesome pair quest.
 * 2) Fully cleared MH2 offline tavern and guild quests.
 * 3) Obtained all offline armors in MH1 and MH2 including U and S versions.
 * 4) Got all ruststone weapons fully upgraded.
 * 5) Got red medal in MH2.
 * 6) Got most of the wyvern slaying titles in MH2.
 * 7) Less then 20 deaths ever in MH2. (The new monsters troubled me at first)
 * 8) MH2 offline village totally upgraded, all town parts at level 3.
 * 9) MH1 all offline combinations done and all offline rare 4 weapons.

Hunting Style
I play it safe. I don't recklessly charge at my enemies and think like "oh I can take them, I got a awesome supply of poitons...", instead I take on them calmly. I read and manipulate my enemies movements and only attack if I see I can do it without getting myself on a trip with the kitty kart.

Hunting Tip
A nice hunting tip for newbies and people having trouble evading.


 * For when not attacking but evading or looking for an opportunity to attack:

Always keep a distance from the monster that's at least the size of it's tail. For monsters who are big but have a small or no tail always keep a distance as big as the monster self. So if you're fighting another Blangonga keep a distance that's at least as big as he is. For wyverns and elder dragon like Plesioth and Lunastra always stay away a distance as big as their tail or as themselves. (This last thing could get annoying with plesioth)

Armor Skills
I don't rely on these to be honest. I think a hunter must be able to take down a monster without special skills.

Monster kills
The increasement in difficulty rating I gave to some has to do with my skills getting rusty due to long times of not playing the game.

"Monster Hunter 2"

Difficulty rating
lol here are my thought on the monster with the following ratings.

(N) = No monster with this rating.


 * 1/10 - Not worth my time, but fun.
 * 2/10 - Cakewalk.
 * 3/10 - Very easy.
 * 4/10 - Easy.
 * 5/10 - Easy - Medium.
 * 6/10 - Medium.
 * 7/10 - Slightly challenging.
 * 8/10 (N) - Annoying.
 * 9/10 (N) - Pain in the ***.
 * 10/10 (N) - This will be fun. (Sarcasm)

play time

 * 1) Monster hunter - 324 hours
 * 2) Monster hunter 2 - 2311 hours

Weapons of Choice
I mainly used Great sword back in Mh1. Mainly because it was the only thing I could descently hunt with. In mh2 though I use a bigger variety in weapons.


 * I mostly use:


 * 1) Sword & Shield ---> For serious hunting.
 * 2) Long sword ---> Hunting on elder dragons.
 * 3) Great sword ---> For fun only.
 * 4) Hammers ---> Only if I feel like it.


 * I'm learning to use:


 * 1) Bows ---> I recently discovered how good they are.
 * 2) Lance ---> I'm really bad with these, it's a shame.


 * Weapons I never liked using:


 * 1) Gunlance ---> I'm bad with lances but this... is rediculous.
 * 2) Hunting horn ---> They're much slower then hammers and I don't like the swings.
 * 3) Bowgun: ---> I'm just not much of a gunner.

=Help with Hunting=

If you need help fighing a wyvern or dragon feel free to ask me. Please keep it to monsters that can be fought offline and on the PS2 Monster hunters. I'm sure I can make you say that they've become easy.

My specialties are Plesioth, Rath and the elder dragons with the auras. Don't come to me for gunner, lance or dual sword strategies.

I can't help with online Monsters and new Monsters from the Portable 2 and later on. Artemis Paradox 19:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
