Yeah, I didn't come here and do a "call to arms" simply because I planned on popping on for 30 min, getting the ore I needed, and popping off.
That didn't work... I had mined a rustshard the first try too but, I wasn't prepared for the run With the Powderstone. After about 6-7 attempts it didn't work out. So it was off to make a Transport set. Which meant it was off to kill Giggi's. Made the set. Farmed ore and it still took me about 3 attempts to get the powderstone back.
So what started as 30min pop in turned into a 2 hour ordeal. Though I finished my set and I got on this morning with the thought "Hey, I'm going to use this for a while lets upgrade it." So I did to Adv. Armor Sphere's then stopped. If I was smart I would have made my Hammer upgrade first. I somehow got the last piece I needed last night to upgrade to the Red Bludgeon on my hammer. Unfortunately because I went wild on upgrading the armor I'm 8,000 Zenny short. Oh well, I should get that next session online which might by tomorrow. I did try the set on the Great Jaggi Offline 2 star and had it done in 6 minutes. I actually have a use for their scales.
Next up is getting money it seems and making a Switchaxe.
On another note. The Pro on My Fair hunter must have not done the low stuff for a while. You knock out the Kelbi to get the Horn and when your low on health its better to get out of an area and do a quick potion when your little and Things can 3 hit ya.
He finely saw the light that he has to KO the Kelbi.
