Hunter's Handbook
π Relevant Posts Only
Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.
π Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.
No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.
No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.
No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.
π Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.
Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.
If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.
π Safe-For-Work Only
SFW cosplay only: no nudes/lewds

My ex at the time picked up Freedom 2 not long after launch, and I asked him about it after seeing it sat on his shelf. He gave me it to keep since he got so frustrated with the controls and not knowing what to do, but I fell in love. I sucked at the game, but would spend hours gathering materials and building new gear to try out. Since then I've played all of the localised games, as well as fan translations and the recent private servers for 1/Tri and Frontier. Can't wait to try out the online for Dos too.
Gathering and prepping is a vibe, glad you could connect with it even if hunting wasnβt for you yet. Love the dedication of trying the community hosted servers. Havenβt done it myself yet. I really should try frontier. I remember hoping so hard it would come to the states and swearing Iβd buy an Xbox just for it. I bought a wiiu and 3ds just for MH so I was ready.
Honestly a big part of it was a result of not having instant access to the internet to check every little thing as it came up. I remember being super confused trying to find piscine livers for one of the 2* quests, and not always knowing how to find or combine for certain crafting materials so a lot of weapon upgrades were inaccessible. I'd just do gathering runs hoarding everything I could find and hope for the best lol.
The private servers are amazing. It's great finally being able to experience Frontier, and the private server for Tri only opened a few days ago so there are plenty of players on fresh accounts. Not sure if I can link the discord servers for them here, but they should be easy to find through google and the setup guides are all in there. MH1 and Tri both work on original hardware too.
Assimilated by force. Damn piscines. Impressed you stuck with it, sounds like the exact type of thing that turns away new players. I have no issue with links to anything MH related here. Put anything you got in a new post and Iβll find a place for it in the resource section.
