Monster Hunter Tri Diary, Part 2: Day cycles & Nighttime hunt in the Moga Woods
For previous entries, search for #monster hunter tri diary
Disclaimer: Text is paraphrased from my localization and might slightly deviate from the English version.
Moga Village (night)
Yay, we have day cycles! This is actually a feature that got scrapped in MH3U; while there were day and night versions of each map (probably a leftover from this mechanic), it was always day in Moga Village. In Tri, however, time advances in the village too, and you actually get to explore Moga at nighttime! (I believe the only previous time they tried something like this was in MH Dos, with the seasonal cycles.)
And look, fireflies! Or are those Thunder Bugs? (Given that this is Monster Hunter, probably Thunder Bugs.)
Also, there is a nighttime version of the village theme! I've never heard it before, due to there being no day/night cycle in 3U. It's a tad softer and more tranquil than the daytime version - I like it!
Chief's Son: "To restore the base camp, we need to dig new latrines, rebuilt the tent, cover the old latrines, delouse the bed..." Sounds like a really pleasant job. Might be easier to just throw the lousy bed into the trash and get a new one, though.
Okay, so the Chief’s Son tells me I have to report to him what I hunted in the forest, since he’s responsible for keeping tabs on that. Makes sense, since you kinda need to keep an eye on the monster population to prevent an imbalance in the ecosystem if you want to ensure a sustainable economy.
Actually, this reminds me... I remember there's an in-lore explanation that the Guild keeps records of the monster population in each area, to prevent certain species from going extinct and others from growing too large in number. (I think the only time they integrated this into the gameplay was in MH Dos; there was some kind of "bounty system", and the more often you hunted a certain monster, the less money you'd get for it.) So, are the reports I give to the Chief's Son sent to the Guild as well? (I suppose that would be like constant surveillance; but maybe, that's the exact intention behind it.)
At first, I thought the Jumbo Pearl might be a reference to MH Dos (since the village from that game is called Jumbo). However, after checking the Japanese item name, the kanji indicates that it's just an extraordinarily large pearl, rather than a pearl found near/associated with Jumbo Village. (Pity, though; that would've been so cool.)
Chief's Son: "Go report to my dad, will you? He LOVES reports." Okay - well, at least that shows he's taking his job seriously.
Chief: "There are no hopeless causes... Just lost confidence!" That's actually a damn good motivational quote right there.
Gossipy Lady: "It's obvious whenever the Chief is in a pensive mood. He stands at the left pier and gazes out at the sea." I wonder if there's a story behind this habit...
Guild Sweetheart: "The good news is that the Guild apparently has completely forgotten about us. So, you're not missing out on anything!" Well, I guess that's the bright side of it... xD Still, a bit odd if you consider the Guild is technically responsible for protecting the village - all they do is send one rookie hunter here and that’s it. They don’t even bother helping the villagers repairing the damage in any other way.
Outfitter: ""No weapon is perfect. Every one has its strengths and weaknesses." Maybe grandpa was right after all..." Well... A fault confessed is half redressed, or so they say. xD
The shy kid tells us about a goblin with a mask living in the Moga Woods (his older brother also says he's "constantly talking nonsense about an elf"). If my memory serves correctly, that has to be Cha-Cha.
Blacksmith: "I'm gonna to tell you - but just this once!" Except when you cycle through the dialogue by repeatedly talking to him, you can select "yes" again. xD
The Bowguns are completely different in Tri. Instead of the usual two classes (Light and Heavy Bowgun), you have to assemble your Bowgun out of individual parts (stock, frame, barrel), each influencing the stat values and overall performance. I guess this was done in an attempt to make the Bowguns more customizable, so you can have a sort of in-between as opposed to just light/heavy. I'm not a Gunner myself, but I think the idea is kinda cool; ultimately, they didn't stick with it, though.
Btw, there are some weapons that are completely missing from Tri: Dual Blades, Hunting Horn, Gunlance and Bow are all unavailable in this game (despite being available in Freedom Unite).
Also, the Switch Axe and the Long Sword are not available from the start; you have to unlock them later on (you have to do the 3-star Urgent Quest to hunt a Gobul to get access to Long Swords). I was a bit confused when I saw that I couldn't make any Long Swords, since I was sure I heard they existed in Tri. However, the selection of Long Swords in this game is very limited: Minus the weapons from online events, there are only seven Long Swords you can make in the game. That's right: seven. A bit of a bummer for me as a Long Sword main, especially since there are not even blades for every element. (There isn't a single Ice Long Sword you can forge offline.)
So, seems like I'll have to get a little creative here - I think I'll make myself a Great Sword when I get the chance, since that's a weapon I'm at least moderately accustomed to. I also might try out a Switch Axe against Gobul, since you already unlock these after the 2-star Urgent Quest. (Can't say I'm looking forward to it, though. xD)
Btw, I don't know if it's just a translation error in my localization, but when explaining weapon sharpness, the smith says orange is sharper than yellow which is sharper than green. Of course, it's the other way around, with yellow being sharper than orange and green being the sharpest. So, this is a small pitfall for anyone who might be new to the game - just wanted to mention it.
"Fuel for the furnace, chemicals for forging... All of that costs money, so you gotta pay something." I think this is the first time I've seen it mentioned that the smithies in MH are using chemicals to make weapons/armor. Guess that makes sense, since a lot of the equipment pieces are composed of both organic and inorganic materials, so it probably wouldn't hold together otherwise.
"My life's goal? To forge a weapon beyond anyone's imagination! I've tried again and again, but failed. One day, I'll succeed - just you wait!" Well, as long as you have a goal and dedication, you can achieve anything. Better luck next time! :-)
I really like the smith in general - such a lively and spry guy. ^^
What the?! How did the smartass kid get into my house? Who let you in? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMPHOUSE?!?
"Did you know you can skip conversations? That way, you can skip boring conversations with people you don't even want to listen to. Very handy!" I wish this was a feature in real life.
"But some things you'll get to hear only once. And then you'll say: "Oh no! Why did I press the cancel button? Now I can never hear this again! Buhuuuu!" Unironically me every time I want the text to scroll faster and accidentally end up missing dialogue. xD
"Oh, some conversations you can't skip, like important village info and lectures from your mom..." Pity - I'm sure everyone would appreciate the latter. xD
"Do you believe there is life on the moon?" I dunno, kid - I've never read sci-fi literature from the MH universe myself.
"Why don't hunters use their huge airships to fly to the moon? Did no one get this idea before?" Well, maybe they did - I just doubt they got very far. xD
Yay! I can actually give my Poogie a name! (Actually, I think this is the first time in the series you can do this.) Though it's curious that the list includes both male and female names - is Poogie's gender just whatever you want it to be?
The cuddle timing for the Poogie is WAY more lenient than in Freedom Unite (seriously, that was hardcore).
Moga Woods (night)
"Hello, it's me, the Chief's Son! Not Junior! Nobody calls me that!" Yep, definitely daddy issues. (Nice to see the Chief's Son inherited his dad’s telepathic skills, though.)
"Oh, nice attack! Maybe you're not such an inexperienced hunter after all..." Shit, they've caught onto my ruse - they know I'm too good to be a noob! xD
It will never not be funny to me that the "So tasty!" when you make a Well-done Steak is the only voice line they ever bothered to record for the old games. In fact, it was so important that they even recorded it in different languages. xD
I appreciate how there's a brief display of "MAX" at the end of the stamina gauge - that way, you know when you're at max stamina.
Okay, so the monster list also works differently in Tri. Instead of buying the books with the info at the item shop, you have to gather the infos yourself while being out in the field. It feels a bit like a spiritual predecessor to MH World; I guess they did this to add more to the "exploration" feeling. It's a little tricky to do though, so I understand why they got rid of it. (You have to open the monster list in the menu, point the Wiimote at the monster and then add the info to your list via drag-and-drop. I can imagine this is going to be rather difficult with large monsters, since you kinda have to pay attention that you don't die while gathering data. xD)
Honey: "Full of nutrients, but indigestible in this form." What? Last time I checked, honey was a perfectly digestible type of food. What makes MH honey different?
Okay, so I've picked up an item called "Firedouse Berry". It increases fire resistance, apparently. The logical conclusions would be that there are other berries in Tri to counter the other elements (water, thunder, ice). Either way, I've never seen these in any MH before.
I’ve always wondered what the "houses"/windows carved into the cliffs of Area 7 are. I suppose this is what the Head Farmer meant when he was saying that the statue in the cave had something to do with the "forest ruins". Is this where the ancestors of the sea people lived? If so, why are these great buildings in ruins? What brought about their demise?
You see, it's the little things that always kept me fascinated in Monster Hunter. You can find these ancient ruins in all of the old MH games, but it’s never explained who built them. It's like a dark mystery of the past, constantly looming over you - and perhaps, a silent threat that this might happen again.
It's funny how the Jaggi were my literal introduction to Monster Hunter. If I hadn't read an article about there being "raptors" in MH4U - despite the Jaggi looking more dilophosaurs with their frills (which is ironic, since they're the bird wyverns that don't spit poison) - I probably wouldn't have picked it up. xD
After playing Lies of P for so long, I have to get used to MH combat again. Although I adjusted the controls of LoP so it was basically the standard MH controls (because I literally can’t play with anything else xD), the combat itself feels very different. MH’s is a lot more mobile in comparison, involving lots of dodging and repositioning; since there’s no target lock-on (targeting for large monsters only got introduced in MH3U if I remember correctly), you can’t just lock onto your target to circle around them.
Also, I don't think there’s a pause button in Tri? A bit strange since Freedom Unite had one, but I guess you're supposed to use the Wii Home button for this.
There was a young Aptonoth in Area 1, probably the one who fled from Area 3 when I killed its parents (cool that the monsters move to other areas, though!). I briefly contemplated to let it live, but then I told myself "well, it's probably not gonna survive without its parents anyway" and did the mercy kill. (I'm such a cold-blooded murderer, guys. xD)
One thing that never fails to make me laugh is how there are wooden struts sprouting from the ground if you place the BBQ spit on uneven terrain. xD (That BBQ spit is so important, it even gains the magical ability to support itself if need be.)
So, in summary, I killed 15 Jaggi, while also gathering some stuff along the way. I would've needed 30 resource points at minimum, I delivered 90 - so, thrice as much. Well, there's no kill like overkill. xD
Moga Village (day)
As far as I know, 3rd Gen is the first to have its own kinds of fertilizers for mushroom and insect farming spots on the farm (Shroom Germ and Funky Pheromones, respectively).
Dung: "That's right: Monster poop. The odor reveals (too) much about the monster's diet." Must be really pleasant to carry that around in your pockets (or store it in your item box). xD
The item description says you can only sell Pittance Fangs for "pocket change" - that "pocket change" being 180z per piece, which is quite a lot by early game standards. (I've been wondering about the name, though; could it be that monster parts like fangs, teeth etc. are used as currency in some places in the MH universe? Is it custom to give these kinds of fangs to beggars so they can buy themselves something for it?)
Okay, the smith now wants me to bring him some Iron Ore to prove that I’m “worthy” of being his customer - at least he was so kind as to lend me his Mega Pickaxe for it. (Remember, kids? The time when you still had to carry pickaxes and bug nets with you to gather ore and insects?)
Village Chief: "All wyverians are hard to please. And this one is the worst. I know him since my early youth. I got into more brawls with him than the sky has stars!" Sounds like the Chief and the smith were best friends. xD It's charming to see the Chief reminiscing about his youth, though.
Chief: "My son still has a lot to learn... But you have to overcome barriers to grow." That's true - ngl, the Chief does have some pretty deep quotes.
Guild Sweetheart: "Drum roll... The Guild says: absolutely nothing!" Man, they sure are taking their time... Okay, how about this: I'm gonna go out to get some Iron Ore for the smith (and for myself), and you see if you can get through to the Guild in the meantime, alright? Don’t worry, sweetie - I’ll be right back!
To be continued

I am stupidly excited to see Moga Sweetheart's outfit in Sunbreak! Tri is my first MH game and so Moga Sweetheart is also my favorite Guild Gal - I read somewhere her name is apparently Aisha? I actually did set this as my layered armor back in GU, it's just so cute.
I mostly made it with no thought for skills and stats lol, it's not as good as the full Golm armor I already made, but man, the maxed out luck skill is no joke.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at them mantles drop like rain, baby.
The Rathian mantle drop is so funny because I didn't even hunt Rathian, the target was Mizutsune and I just used Rathian as free damage while Wyvern riding...and got a mantle. When I near decimated the MR Rathian population a while back trying to get a mantle and had to give up lol.

Oh, and it matches well with the Cohoot Spelunker Crew outfit too.

Do you know of any lore (or have any headcanons) about pairing or marriage rituals in the MH universe?
(As far as I can tell, there isn’t any lore on that in particular. I don’t have any headcanons on marriage as a whole either, but I do have one in particular for one of my Hunters. My MH3U Hunter eventually married Aisha (the Moga Sweetheart) and proposed to her with a ring made from a Deep Dragongem she got from the Ceadeus.)
(Also, I found these images when I searched “Monster Hunter Marriage”.)

Monster Hunter Tri Diary, Part 8: Lovely Ludroth at the beach & visit from the Argosy
For previous entries, search for #monster hunter tri diary
Disclaimer: Text is paraphrased from my localization and might slightly deviate from the English version.
Quest: No love for Ludroth
Since we're not in danger of encountering any large monsters for now, I donned my good old Leather armor again. The skills it has are quite good for gathering, and even when I'm doing a slay quest, I like to pick up some items along the way.
Our client is a former caravan leader - emphasis on "former", since he apparently wanted to pet some Ludroth and is pissed that he got fired because the Ludroth gave him a slap in the face. As compensation, he wants me to give them a few slaps back. So basically, I'm killing monsters for some guy's personal vendetta - well, I guess I'm getting paid for it...
And the Guild Sweetheart is there again, contacting us once more with her telepathic skills and giving us a brief introduction to Urgent Quests: "An Urgent Quest has to be done IMMEDIATELY!" (Sort of ironic though, since you can actually take your sweet time completing an Urgent Quest.)
"Your target this time is a water monster: the Ludroth. It might be a bit stronger than what you're used to." Oh, trust me: You don’t know what I'm used to. xD
Now you're only getting 3 first aid-meds and 2 mini whetstones from the supply box. No more greenhorn coddling - shit's getting real now.
I just got an Insect Husk as a shiny drop from an Altaroth. Biggest disappointment ever.
Anyway, going to area 10, the ladies are already waiting for us, with their sleek green skin and slender amphibian bodies. xD (Ludroth are one of the monsters that are canonically female; according to their description, they form "harems around large males" during breeding season, so I'm guessing the caravan leader was just passing through the area at a particularly bad time.)
The noises Ludroth make actually kinda sound like those of seals. xD (Can you blame the caravan leader for wanting to pet them? He probably heard them and went like "oh, cuddly sea doggos ^^".)
Man, those people weren't kidding - the Ludroth really do hit hard (especially when you're wearing a Leather armor with minimum protection). Good thing I packed my extra potions.
Once again, you can see how they recycled the monsters' movesets here: The Ludroth have the same attack patterns as the Lagiacrus; the same slide and snap attacks on land, and the same charge and snap attacks underwater. (The devs probably did this to save space, since making individual animations for each monster would've taken up too much time, but it's still quite funny.)
One Ludroth just killed her own sister. xD Well, fratricide also exists among Ludroth, I guess.
In the end, I had to use one potion to heal myself, in addition to the first aid-meds I got from the box. You could probably do it with just the first aid-meds in a challenge though, if you pay a little more attention to dodging than I did.
I also managed to kill one additional Ludroth and carve a Monster Bone S just before the "Quest Completed" screen popped up. Always try to squeeze the most rewards out of it, I say. ^^
Moga Village (night)
The Argosy is in town! Wohoo! (I always loved the Argosy theme - it's so awesome!)
The Argosy seems to have her own crest: an anchor in tribal style with two monster heads at each end, seen on the sail.
The Argosy Captain speaks with an accent (at least in my localization), which is sort of endearing. Also, since whatever we and the people of Moga are speaking obviously isn't the Captain's native tongue, that must mean there are multiple languages in the MH world.
The Captain calls himself a "giant from the Far East". This is interesting because according to the canon MH map, the country of Shiki, which has a large population of Wyverians and generally a Japanese flair (being believed to be the place where the villages of Yukumo and Cathar are located), actually lies in the west. With the Argosy Captain being a Wyverian and also having Japanese vibes, I'm surprised he doesn't hail from there. Maybe there's another Wyverian country on the other side of the globe? (Alternatively, it might be just Capcom mixing up their own geography.) EDIT: Nope, I've got it mixed up myself. Shiki is in the east of the MH world, as you can see on the map on this page. That actually makes it highly likely the Captain hails from there.
The Argosy comes to Moga because there are some rare goods around here (particularly from monsters, which you get from slaying them in the Moga Woods), and these commodities fetch a good price overseas. This implies the world of Monster Hunter has quite a vast trade network.
The Captain occasionally throws his own vocabulary into his dialogue (sometimes including translations), and since I had a feeling these were Japanese words, I took the time to check. In the cases where the Captain provides a translation, I could confirm that kōkan ("exchange"), purezento ("present", derived from the English word), kōen ("park"), and shōnin ("approval") are indeed Japanese words. This also goes for the cases where no translation is provided, such as "What is your Youken?" (yōken literally translating to "requirement", so it would mean "What do you require?"/"What do you need?"), "Kyakka!" (meaning "rejected") after explaining there won't be a deal if your commodities are worth less than his, and "De wa, sea wind is calling!" (I actually knew this one myself, since dewa is sort of a formal farewell in Japanese; if you say "dewa mata ashita" to someone, it would mean "Well then, until tomorrow!") So, the Argosy Captain is definitely speaking Japanese.
I can get Mega Harpoons from the Captain. I wonder what those are for, though; Mega Bugnets and Pickaxes don't break as fast as the normal ones, but since harpoons seemingly don't break, I wonder why you'd even need a mega version?
What does a Saturnian Trap do again? Well, I guess the only way to find out is by trying...
So, I got myself a Mega Harpoons and one Saturnian Trap from the Captain, just to see what they do - plus a Firefly, since I could still afford it with the goods I traded.
The Captain says Moga Village is far away from the city, so contact with the Guild isn't a walk in the park. I guess that's why it took them so long to respond. (If you want to give them the benefit of a doubt and assume they weren't straight up ignoring us.)
He also says the sweetheart behind the quest counter deserves to earn more for the hard work she's doing! Completely agree, mate.
"Humans die, but trade lives forever!" That's actually not untrue - even if a person dies, the world around them continues to live on, and as long as there's humanity, there will also be trade.
And we meet yet another fellow who came with the Argosy: The wandering Felyne cook who is apparently French (judging by his accent) and has quite a lot of trouble dealing with sea sickness, promptly throwing up once he's on firm ground. xD
"A cook of my caliber belongs in a kitchen that isn't always shaking!" Honestly, buddy, I can relate - I'm also anything but seaworthy.
"Your Chief has allowed me to stay here; in return, I offered my services. I offer extraordinary culinary art! Mein food is good for your health, attack, and more!" My friend, you are hired - I would never turn down any Felyne cook who gives me these sweet food effects. :-)
If I'm not mistaken, this is also the first time they introduced the cooking method as an additional factor; back in Freedom Unite, it was just dependent on the ingredients and what skills the Felyne cooks came with. Our cook first has to prepare his canteen though, so I suppose we'll have to do one hunt before we can enjoy his culinary skills.
"Felyne tongues are very sensitive to taste, and mine twice as much!" Ah, is that why Felynes are so often employed as cooks? (Not that I want to encourage it, but you would expect people to have prejudices about "hairs in the food" when Felynes do the cooking; this actually provides a reasonable explanation for the abundance of Felyne cooks.)
"Others flatter you with words, I with food!" Well, I think I prefer the food - at least it has substance and doesn't just consist of hot air.
"I may be wearing clothing from the Far East, but I'm multilingual! Between the bouts when my food flew over the Argosy's railing, I learned your language from the Captain." So, the Felyne cook also has a different native tongue - however, he doesn't speak Japanese like the Argosy Captain. So, are there multiple languages in the Far East? (It would be a bit unusual for people there to speak French, though.) Then again, he might not actually hail from there, and the clothes were simply given to him by the Captain.
Village Chief: "The Argosy is our connection to the outside world." Given how often they've mentioned how remote Moga is, I wonder where it's located in the MH world - it certainly sounds like you have to make half a world cruise to get there.
"The Argosy's Captain is a rich merchant from the Far East. I know him way longer than I would admit. Back then, we were young and carefree. I've saved his life countless times, and he did the same for me." Dang, now I really want to know the backstory of the Village Chief and the Argosy Captain. (Knowing the Chief once was a hunter, did they meet during his hunting career? Could it be that the Captain also has some hunting experience, given he wields a Long Sword?)
"We have an agreement that the Argosy docks here in regular intervals. Trade with other countries is equally beneficial for our village as a strong hunting fleet or a productive farm." I’d believe that, since it’s literally the only way they can get items they can’t produce themselves. I wonder what the commodities from Moga are used for in foreign countries, though - I could imagine that scales, fangs, horns are in high demand for making accessories.
"The Captain may be my friend, but he's also a businessman. A good relationship changes nothing about the prizes." Gotta give the Captain credit for being fair, though - just because you're buddies with him doesn't mean you get stuff for free.
The Argosy Captain tells us he’s also agreed to the Felyne cook’s decision to stay in Moga. Apparently, even the Captain sympathized with his troubles. As he puts it: "Learn recipe, try recipe, throw up recipe. Tragic tale!" xD
The Argosy Captain also informs us that he formerly worked in a first-rate restaurant in the city. I take it the Felyne cook once worked in Loc Lac, then?
The Argosy Captain even hands me a coupon from the cook's old restaurant, telling me to redeem it in the canteen. I'm honestly surprised the coupon is still valid, since the cook's restaurant in the city probably has been closed for quite some time. xD
There is also a sailor from the Argosy walking around in the village, but he speaks even more broken than the Captain. From what I can gather though, Moga is special because it's always the first stop on their travels, which makes it like a second home to him. That’s actually kinda sweet. :-)
"Ask why the Captain speak your language so good?" Well, I can understand him better than you, at least. xD (Then again, whatever language they're speaking here is probably hard for them to learn, so I'm gonna give them some credit here.)
"Language learning important to... how you say? Fry horizons?" I get what you mean, but you might want to practice these idioms again... ^^'
The Chief's Son is actually making gestures to the sailor, beckoning him to transport the discharged cargo to the stockpile. Nice touch - I love these kinds of interactions between NPCs.
Btw, the Chief's Son informs me they want to build an insect box at the farm. I have juuust enough resources to do that, in addition to the 1 Monster Fluid you need for it. (Good thing I picked up the materials from those Giggis. ^^)
The smith compliments me on my success with the Ludroth hunt, introducing me to his newest creation he invented in the meantime: charms! If I'm not mistaken, Tri is the first game in the series to have charms (at least they weren't in Freedom Unite). For starters, he gives me the good old standard Autoblock talisman. Since I'm wielding a Great Sword at the moment, this might even come in handy.
"Making changes to armor isn't a cakewalk, so mind what you eat, tubby!" Hey, I'm not that fat, okay? (I can kinda see his point, though. xD)
Meanwhile, the item vendor is happy that business is going much better due to the Argosy stopping by again. (I guess that might have avoided Moga for a time because of the earthquake?) As such, she has decided to give a 50% discount on everything as long as the Argosy is in town. Excellent opportunity for me to stock up on some stuff.
One thing that's exempt from the discount, however, are the Books of Combos. No way to get the most expensive items a little cheaper, I guess.
"Cool Drinks clear the mind and help against the heat. Cool!" Oh no, now the item vendor also has taken lessons from the gossip lady! The disease of silly puns is spreading, guys! xD
Big Brother: "Mom says big monsters are so loud that they roar holes into your ears. But I've already GOT holes in my ears! So nothing can happen to me!" Big brother being a fountain of wisdom as always. xD
Guild Sweetheart: "Hunter, did you see? The Argosy is here! Well, how could you have not seen her... She's gigantic!" Yep, a ship that's longer than the whole pier is pretty hard to miss... ^^'
"The Argosy is a trading vessel. It's part of the village life in Moga ever since I can remember." Sounds like the deal between the Argosy Captain and the Village Chief has been going on for a long time, probably since the Chief took over. Also, from the line above, you learn that the Guild Sweetheart is not merely an employee of the Guild who was sent to Moga, but actually one of the locals.
Apparently, the higher-ups of the Guild were so impressed by how I handled the Ludroth quest that they've given me permission to hunt in a whole new area: the Sandy Plains! According to the Guild Sweethearts monster guide, it's a "dry region, known for high temperatures and monster hordes". Well, if that doesn't sound inviting.
Also, we've got our first quest to hunt a big monster: the Great Jaggi! Yay! (Among the dinosaur-like bird wyverns, the Great Jaggi is sort of my secret favorite. xD)
Guild Sweetheart: "Quests! Read them and cry." What a motivating preface! xD (Though it’s kinda true once you get to the later quests.)
"Mud from the Sandy Plains is excellent for beauty masks, you know. I’ve heard that there are monsters hiding in the mud. I bet they got clean pores and NO pimples. Enviable!" Well, once I meet Barroth, I'll make sure to ask him about his beauty routine. xD
"During my training in the city, I was discovered as an actress! You're hanging around with an almost-star! Lucky you!" So, I take it the Sweetheart was born in Moga, but went to Loc Lac for education. I wonder what she was supposed to act in, though. xD
"Don't hunt yourself to death, would ya?" I'll try not to. :-)
My Chamberlyne also tells me about furnishings, and that I should buy some from the Argosy Captain to decorate my room. I’d like to, but I don’t have any rare commodities right now; I do know, however, that you get them from slaying large monsters during Moga Woods hunts. (I’d first have to unlock the Great Jaggi for that though, and that’s not gonna happen until I did the Guild quest.)
Speaking of which, since I have used up all my resource points for the insect box upgrade, I'm gonna have to make a trip to the Moga Woods anyway, to stock up some resources. So, we'll do that first, and then we'll start off with the level 2 quests.
To be continued

I remembered that MH4U has the Guildmarm’s outfit available as an armor set that I never made, so I went back and looked up what I needed to make it. Then I got my shit absolutely ruined by Zinogre, twice over, because he’s way harder than he was in 3U, and I remembered why I stopped playing MH4U. 
But I can’t afford Monster Hunter World, and I really do want that Guildmarm outfit. (Did the armor sets based on quest giver uniforms make the jump to sixth gen?) So my current plan is to upgrade the Zamtrios Charge Blade as much as I possibly can at this point and come at him with that.
(Also, did you know that the Guildmarm’s name is “Sophia?” I didn’t. Apparently the Moga Sweetheart’s name is Aisha, and she won a pre-MH4 popularity poll with five times the number of votes the runner up got.)

Hello MonsterHunter! Today's agoodiesaday is the Monster Hunter x PansonWorks Figure 1: Lagiacrus! Minimal articulation in the head, arms and tail, made from a softer, satin plastic, an adorable addition to any fans of Lagiacrus!
This figure series is one of the lesser known series, Panson works and Monster Hunter had a wonderful collab during the Portable 2ndG and 3rd era, releasing tons of Panson Works Felynes, Rathalos (which comes in Normal, and Silver!) and the Lagiacrus including a few stationary such as paper folders for the P3 Era. Non-Monsters included Qurupecco Hunteress w/ ChaCha, Lagia Hunter with ChaCha, Narga Hunter with Felyne, Kirin Huntress with Felyne, and Moga Sweetheart with Chacha. Sadly these Panson Works x Monster Hunter figures have been long discontinued.

Playing MH Rise to catch up on all the extra content I left while I was finishing my second file's story progress! I didn't know there were so many motions in the Warm Up gesture, the dance above is in there, too. I find it especially cute your hunter practices mining ore and picking up drops with it, haha.

Also I just find the Sailor set really cute and it looks especially great with the Elgado boots! The pants clip through the skirt a little bit, but it's not too noticeable, especially if they're set to the same colors.
I do love the Sailor Socks too, the diamond patterned socks is a unique look, but not a fan of the possible panty shots you get while wearing it lol. So Elgado boots work for me since it has pants with it.

It also works without the skirt!
I should also make up look with the Scholar set, which is the outfit Moga Sweetheart/Aisha wears. Because well, I started out with Tri and I am still biased, heh. I wish we got other Tri monsters, I'm still salty Lagiacrus and Agnaktor aren't in Sunbreak (hopefully, yet. Future update, please?) I'd be happy to see Qurupeco too ;_;
