How long it takes for the Captain to come back sorta depends on you Maxi. The more places you told him to stop at for stuff to trade the longer he'll take to come back.  Though you can give him power paddles to speed things up.

[BeautifulShy]

I see GK.

On another note I beat all of the Rank 5 quests for offline but it doesn't show them being done like the previous ranks and I don't have any new quests for Rank 5.

Am I missing something?

[GK]

Check the village chief or his son(monster forecast guy). You may have to make Cha-Cha's underwater mask first. Not sure, I have to take on Diablos to wrap that up on my end & I just happened to have the stuff required to make the mask on me when the request came up.

That reminds me...Anyone here know of a way to rip good quality audio from a game & convert it into an mp3? Don't know why but I think Diablos' roar would make a fantastic ring tone...

You'd have to burn the game to a hard drive, then find a brrstm converter, or whatever the music's file type is.  I know they're easy to find and not even illegal, for instance, Smash World Forums, for Super Smash Bros. would probably have a link to one somewhere in their workshop forums.

[Mop it up]

A quick Google search didn't turn up any sites to download sounds from the game, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there.

Thatguy's method isn't the only way. You can record it from the game itself if you have a cable that has the red/white composites on one end, and a plug on the other that fits into your computer's "aux in" or "line in" jack (it's blue). Sorry, I don't know what the name of this cable might be. Then, using the Sound Recorder program which can be found in Windows Accessories, you can record from the game. The program records only .wav files, so if your device won't play that, then Google search for "MP3 converter" to find a program that can convert it.

What, the software or the ripping music? Because the music part is illegal. I am not sure about the software for doing it.

[NWR_insanolord]

Ripping music from a game you own for your own personal use is legal. It may be technically against the law to break the encryption on the game in order to do it, though, thanks to the horrible, horrible DMCA. Recent court decisions indicate, however, that that probably wouldn't hold up if it went to trial.

Yeah, I did this first & didn't find anything yet. Rather find it than attempt to screw it up myself. If push comes to shove I know I can convert audio off of a youtube video into MP3 though the quality would be questionable. Has to be loud enough so I can hear the darn thing if my cell is in my pocket or in another room.

[Mop it up]

Where do you get items that are used for rare trades from the captain? Apparently I don't have any and I don't remember ever having any, so I don't know where to get them. I'm guessing the stuff is only offline, but where?

[Stratos]

From killing monsters in the offline free hunt. Then you go to Junior and he'll convert your kills into items and resource points. Sometimes you get the rare items. I almost always get the Jaggi rare item but Ludroth and Rathian are hit and miss whether I get the rare item or not.

[Mop it up]

Ah, thanks, that would explain it. I never really did the free hunt stuff, I mostly stuck with the quests. It seems weird to me that you can't get those items in the normal quests...

[Stratos]

I just watched a trailer for MH Frontier. I really hope we get another MH either on 3DS or on Wii2.

[Mop it up]

What kind of stuff would you want to see in a sequel? Do you just want new quests or would you like to see improvements with the gameplay?

[Stratos]

Streamlined gathering would be nice. A deeper battle mechanic as well. Like more types of moves and attacks.

Also, lots of new monsters.

I saw in the trailer a new type of weapon; double swords. I like the sound of that. Also, old fashioned bow + arrow combo and a 'lance-gun' that seemed like a perfect fit for you. It is a lance that converts to a gun.

Of course allow for more than four people in a room at a time to better arrange groups for quests and such. A better and more persistent online realm as well. Maybe something like a 'Gamer Tag' that allows people to connect better (like being able to send someone a message when they are offline or in a quest).

[Kytim89]

As far as improvements go, here are some of my ideas:
 
More flying enemies that are not wyverns or nature. Capcom, give us something like a giant Eagle to hunt and give the option to jump onto its back to wrestle it to the ground.
 
More detailed environments with more herbivore herds, birds cherping and bigger areas.
 
Bigger online rooms for bigger hunting parties.
 
Allow scars to form on your hunter's face and body.
 
How about instead of hunting and returning to a hub village, how about you, the hunter, travel across the world to various villages in each environment and hunt the particular monster(s) that plauge that village.
 
I would like to see a Megalodon-esque boss that could swallow Lagiacrus whole.
 
Besides eating food, the hunter can eat a particular monster's flesh and gain certain abilities called "monster spirits." For example, eating Lagi flesh gives you the ability to ward of thunder.
 
How about a carriage that holds a giant cannon or gatlin gun that the hunter, or his party, can use to hunt monsters. Sort of like a tank in the monster hunter universe.
 
Similar to the scars, the player has to suture wounds and splint broken bones thanks to injuries sustained by hunting the monsters.
 
How about blood hounds? The hunter could have some canine like reptilian creature that can sniff out monsters if their scent is given to the blood hound.
 
Ride certain animals for transportation and they can even help in battle.

You need to finish the game before asking for that. Your wish was already granted.

I know who you are talking about and he seems like a frobiddable foe, but I want something like a shark. I mean those shark creatures in the game did not get their due and having something as big as a megalodon would be better.   

Or a giant octopus like kraken.

[DAaaMan64]

Less clunky feel. I feel like I'm controlling a giant stone statue who's arms move on swivels.

[BeautifulShy]

Well I am almost done with offline. I only have 1 quest to do but I don't know if I have the right weapon to go after it.Also I think I need some Mega Dash Juice as well. I would also like to finish getting all of Cha-Cha's masks and Dances. I need some Rare materal to give to the Captain to get the Dances and some of the masks.
I have my farm maxed out except one area;the fields. I guess I am going to be free hunting alot.

[GK]

Try capturing those monsters in free hunt instead of killing them. I remember reading that the resources are more likely to produce rarer commodities that way.

[BeautifulShy]

Thanks for the tip GK. I have done all of the Villagers requests now. I have all areas of the farm Maxed now. I need to upgrade the boats fully. I have one of the boats at 2 stars now. The rest are at 1 star. Still need to get the rest of Cha-Cha masks. I did get the BBQ mask and I think the mystery pot mask. I should capture these monsters more but I tend to kill them quickly.

[GK]

Love the Lamp Mask myself. His AI becomes more aggressive toward small monsters & signaling him gives you a hands free torch that follows you around.  It's great for letting you focus on the main monster while Cha-Cha clears away cats or whatever that are in the way.

[BeautifulShy]

What is a good way to make money? The 9 egg event quest isn't around and I am down to 4,000 in money.

[GK]

Farm storm seeds & sell them in bulk instead of putting them in your box. Can also sell off the stuff brought back from fishing trips. Treasure hunts bring in Steel, Silver, or Gold Eggs depending on the level your boats are on.

If you get an Incomplete Crown hold onto it & combine it with Crown's Gemstone as their value jumps when sold that way.

[BeautifulShy]

Thanks GK. My boats aren't upgraded fully so I guess I have to farm storm seeds.
