What is the Palico system? Something other than what the Palico do in World?
Wait, you can switch equipment at the camp? I didn't even know that! :-O
I didn't know how to capture until a bit recently, but yeah, trying to capture all of them now. That 0/x is an interesting thing, will try to go for that too!
Well, it's HR Bone Armour, and fully upgraded, so not that bad, but yeah. One big hit can kill me instantly, specially if it also add poison state, by the time I get up, whatever health is left, has already gone down by it.
What happened to your JoyCon? Maybe try to get it repaired or something? Are they fully updated?
Oh the Palico system is super fun! You get to have 2 Palico come with you on hunts and you can have up to like 36 hired Palico that can go on separate adventures (they're called meownster hunters in that mode). You can also have a palico make trades with offscreen villages to get extra resources (this is replaced by the tree box in World). You also have Palico levels for each Palico, and they increase level through either training or going on hunts with you. It's just an absolutely adorable wrapper to a good minigame system.
It's been a while since I've played World but I have a distinct memory of being able to change armor at the camps. I could be wrong though, so don't hate me if this is a false memory lol
Hr bone armor should be pretty decent but if you can get the LR rathian armor, I think that comes with poison resistance as a perk, you'd have to check to be sure though (plus, HR bone armor is going to give you way more protection than LR rathian armor, but if it's the poison that's carting you, it might actually work)
My switch just doesn't connect to the joycon anymore. Idk what I did, it might just be normal wear and tear since I got this switch during the initial big rush when they were first on sale. I might just need to wait until the switch 2 or whatever it might be called comes out though. I did buy some off brand joycons, so they might not be fully updated yet, I just found out today. Will have to try upgrading the firmware tomorrow!
Ah, well World has Tailrider Safari, but that's only 3 Palicos (which is just one group). And Palico level up when they are on hunt with you, but there aren't any training or anything.
And yeah, I just checked, you can go inside the camp and change equipment. I didn't actually check if you can only change armour or change weapon too, but there's a button for change equipment.
I finally defeated Pink Rathian! Just captured it. Upgraded my weapon to Thunder one (Pulsar Shotel III), and finally got it. Now I think it's time to hunt Nergigante, but I am going to upgrade my armour first. Thinking about farming Rathian (normal one, not Pink). Much better than Bone, and I already have most of the stuff, just need some more.
Sorry to hear about your JoyCon. I also got my Switch at launch, and it has seen some rough use, but fortunately everything works fine. Though when using docked I prefer Pro Controller, it's really good. Maybe give it a try?
Ahh that makes sense. I only remember switching out entire sets when I was doing a 3 monster hunt on a time limit, so I think it likely includes weapons to switch out.
And congrats on getting it finally!!! That taste of victory is always sweet!
I love grinding for armor, that "to get" list that alerts you when you have all the components needed makes planning out armor builds a breeze. That's one qol update that I really miss in MHGU.
As for the joycons, it's no big deal anymore. I already dropped some money trying new joycons, and that didn't work so I'll just cut my losses and deal with not having a dockable switch. It's not like I used it a lot before, it probably stopped working on one of my long breaks from the switch lol
Ooh, I forgot about the "to get" list. I should probably start using it 😀
And Thanks! It really feels great, after being stuck for so long, finally beating it.
