MH Oldschool

What I want to do with this thread is compile together all of the things that become harder or impossible to do when transferring from MH1J to MHG, while perhaps mentioning some of the things that also become easier to do as well, if you were wondering whether or not to stay in MH1J and complete tho...

On the lance side of things, a commonly held belief is that Undertaker - the final upgrade in the Rusted Lance branch is one of the best lances you can get offline. If you're mining in Volcano, like Lutyrannus suggested, you'd actually be killing three birds with one stone, because you'll likely be ...

Being hosted on github and completely open-source (the code that runs is publicly visible to all and anything malicious would have to be really hidden to evade the public eye), there is near to no threat of this being malicious to your computer. Since it's not really an executable, and it's not runn...

I really like Minegarde because it looks very simple. It's like the small desert towns you see Clint Eastwood walk through in western movies. It's not particularly flashy, has the basic amenities like a tavern and some shops, and it pretty much just a gathering place for hunters from random villages...

I think the MMO-lite nature of the series expects you to group up and tackle the guild hall quests, so there is definitely an emphasis on group play outside of the village. Most titles up to essentially World do that format and I think it works well; as in a clearly discernable single-player only an...

I'd say that if there wasn't any real online element, I wouldn't be playing the series as much. It's pretty much the only reason why I keep playing, really. I'd go as far as saying that I hate playing solo outside of maybe the first couple of hours of each game where the monsters are relatively easy...

[WEEK 2] Hey there Readers, It's been a week, so it's time for your somewhat regularly scheduled update. Yeah, I know - exciting stuff. Got up to some exciting stuff since last time, of which you will hear about shortly. To put it briefly, we cleaned up the remainder of the Village Elder's quests, ...

Look in its general direction.

My usual rotation is kinda based around having one of each type of damage around at all times, i.e. bludgeoning, slashing and something ranged. I used to be a pretty dedicated longsword player and I kinda still am, especially when Rise decided to go pretty much nuts and give me like three different ...

Very well written! Thanks for sharing your journey. Where's Part 1 though? Thanks, glad you like it. Part 1 was all the stuff I was doing back in MH1, but the forum wasn't up then, so I couldn't have written about it. That and I think it's funny. I might even write it retroactively whenever I decid...
