Guide to Subquests - Helpful Tips #1

Subquests are something that I believe are overlooked in Monster Hunter Tri. As a new feature to the game not many people have realized the full potential that they have for us.

Think about this:
Have you ever been trying to get some Lagiacrus horns but are you are just completely tired of fighting him over and over? Well try this one out.
Instead of capping or killing or doing whatever you were doing, post the Low Rank Lagicrus Cap quest in the Flooded Forest and get a team of Fire Elemental weapons that are ready to go horn farming.
Make sure that either 1 person stays at camp, or somebody brings a Farcaster so that you can make this go a lot faster.
Start the quest and everybody take the short cut to Lagi and go ONLY for his head. Do not break anything else, and try not to hit anything else. As soon as his horns are broke and the subquest done you can end the quest via subquest and have a much larger percentage (from my experience) in getting a horn.

Be sure to try this with Barioth Claws, and I'm sure there are many more. Mess around and see what you can figure out.

Armor set of the day - Status Gunning

So I know many of you know Sedition and not many of you have seen him play, but when it comes to Status gunning, the guy knows what he is doing. We have done many a run in an insane amount of time because of him Status Gunning and now you have the gear to do it as well. Keep in mind though, just because you have this set doesn't mean you have the skill; you'll have to figure out how to use it properly yourself.

Gun:
Thundacrus Rex Frame/Jhen Barrel/Chaos Wing Stock
Slot: Bombardier Jewel

Head: Barrage Piercing
Slot: None

Chest: Ingot+ Chest
Slot: Bombardier Jewel

Arms: Ingot Guards
Slot: Bombardier Jewel

Waist: Ingot+ Coat+
Slot: Lightfoot Jewel, Lightfoot Jewel Bombardier Jewel,

Legs: Ingot+ Leggings
Slot: Bombardier Jewel

Charm : Evade+7, Speed Setup + 10.

Skills:
Load Up, Recoil Down+2, Evade+1, Trapmaster, Bombardier.

Loads, 5 para 2, 4 sleep 2, assortment of pierce/elemental averaging at 4 per clip and 5 dragon shots. Loads exhaust shots as well for KO's as there should be no hammers in status gun runs.

The charm is next to impossible to get but the set itself is easy enough to make with just evasion or trapmaster, depending on what charm you can get.

Since it's used mainly for "speed-runs", evasion isn't too useful as the monster really shouldn't be moving and trapmaster is amazing for para-bombing.

Thank you Sedition for letting us know your armor set.

Plan for the new Capture Card

So today is a rare day, we are having a double blog today. I just wanted to kind of give everybody an update of what is going on right now in the terms of higher quality streaming.
We are working on getting a new Capture Card, I'm still looking around to find one that is a reasonable price and has good streaming quality but I know we are going to have to spend at least $100. The problem we run into is that we don't really have $100+ to spend on a capture card right now so we figured, why not ask the viewers if they would like to help?
So right now I plan on getting my desktop fixed up and possibly getting an actual internal card and dedicating my desktop for streaming only instead of trying out another external card.

So please feel free to help us out in any way, and if you have any recommendations for a new graphics card email tenfoxproductions@gmail.com

Kicking Great Jaggi Run - Project Research #2 - Damage

So today I've decided to go back to do some more research on the Great Jaggi kick run. I've decided to see if it was even possible to do this online in the amount of time that we have. So here is what I have come up with using what I had available to me and estimating a little bit. If somebody actually wants to check the exact time of a kick that would make this more precise, but I want to make sure it's even feasible so for now I am going to over estimate.
Here we go:

Great Jaggi Online: 2000 HP
     From what I've found online Great Jaggi has 2000 HP when online in the earliest quest you fight him with, so that will be our quest we will do.

Kick: 1-3 Damage
     There really isn't much previous research on this, maybe I'll right an FAQ on it when/if this works and tell people more about kicking. But for right now I'm still under the assumption that a kick does 1 damage, and is only affected by Affinity and (hopefully) Adrenaline +2. If anybody can confirm or deny this fact that would be great. I'm starting to wonder if either of those matter, because I would assuming anything that gives you an attack boost is irrelevant to the amount of kick damage you do as your attack power means nothing to kicks. 

Kicks till death: 667-2000 kicks
      Well since I've came across that thought I am going to calculate for right now that we are going to do 1 damage per kick minimum, so that's a 2000 kick max. If we can manage to do more damage than 1 that's awesome.

Number of People: 4
    Leading to;
Kicks per Person: 220-500
      Awesome, that's not too high. Actually that's insane. I couldn't imagine doing 500 kicks to a Great Jaggi, but god damnit we can try.

Time per kick: ~3 seconds
    A high end estimate.

Estimated Run Time of Quest: 1500-2000 seconds maximum with just kick time, this doesn't include running around time and getting hit and all that good stuff. Which means that it would take us a max of 33 minutes if we ONLY kicked and never missed, never got hit, and never ran around looking for him. That leaves 17 minutes of doing all that, which seems like it might be possible.

We'll see how this goes....I still need a full team for it, but maybe over the summer when people have time we can finally get this going.

As for supplies, Rage Match is coming up later this week and I'll finally be able to get my Black Leather Pants. Make sure to tune in to see that, I'll probably record some videos of that and we will for sure have a live video stream for that because it should be a ton of fun.
