First journal in over a year. (And other stuff)
Posted 7 years agoSo, it's been a pretty long while. This account is still very active. I'm still here I've just largely not been doing well. There have been some really good points since the last journal. Like, I went to Canada. Started a new job (which I now fucking hate) so it's not all bad. But to explain my absence, just its been an emotional roller coaster and I'm more of a hermit now these days.
I figured I should post something just in case anyone is around who still pays attention to this account.
Lately, I've been playing a lot of Monster Hunter World. Originally I was pretty critical of it, and I still somewhat am over somethings and certain situations. Like the game's ability stun lock you and combo you, to take you down from full health to dead with no way of escape. I'm not familiar with these types of games. I played a bit of dark souls and had gotten really into a game called Raiderz. Conoartiveky, MHW feels sluggish. If I get stunned or laid on my ass in mhw, in the amount of time it takes to reckver, my character in Raiderz could have gotten back up, healed, and fired off a fireball.
At the time Raiderz was released, it was marketed to be an MMO version of Monster Hunter, because at the time Monster Hunter wasn't multiplayer. It took the idea and expanded upon it. Though, you could still see a pretty clear Monster Hunter influence in riaderz.
I spent the last month or so leveling and gearing up to fight Behemoth to get his gear. Its worth getting. Especially if you're a kinsect glaive user. But its amazing gear for just about anything.
The normal behemoth fight isn't too bad. He moves slow but he combos well. He can sometimes chain his abilities after each other almost instantly. Make no mistake, he is a challenge, but I think tempered deviljho or arch tempered lunastra are much worse. If you have a group to play with he's not too bad. If, not then, it's often other random players that are more detrimental to you success than Behemoth himself from my experience, playing with randoms leaves you with like 98% chance of failure
So, with that in mind I wanted to share a Behemoth farming guide with anyone whose interested. You don't actually have to kill him in order to build the behemoth armour and gae bolg glaive.
I think fighting him and beating him is definitely a goal to a spire to. But for the sake of sanity, iid rather a couple hours of farming and getting what I need, over 5 hours of fighting him, losing everytime, and getting nothing. It's not the easy way. It just a matter of maintaining your sanity and being efficient.
So here it goes.you can get pretty much every
Material required to craft and upgrade from him -but- bones, and aether shards, with out beating him.
I'll break this up into four stages.
The first stage is just to get through the story line to where you actually have to fight and kill him. You don't need to beat him at that point you just need to be able to fight the real battle and bit the repel. (Repel mission comes later).
For the second stage, once you've gotten to the final fight you're going to want to craft a part breaker build. I just went with the Gameconomist's video, and it's alright, but you might find something better. A light bowgun with sticky ammo, slicer ammo, and sleep amo is a must. Other things you will need are healing supplies, barrel bombs, farcaster (farcaster and barrel bombs are a must -DO NOT- forget them, and make sure your palico has plunder blade. (Also helps to have it leveled.)
The idea here is that you going to go into "He Taketh it With His Eyes" solo, and just fuck around with him. This will not work with the repel mission, as during that mission you can't break his parts. He's not too bad in stage one. So, use sticky ammo to ko him and blow his horns off. Put him to sleep to help with this. Just after each time you do this and use the barrel bombs to blow his face up, use your farcaster to fly back, heal up, re stock on ammo and items, and -Do Not- forget your farcaster and barrel bombs. Use slice ammo to cut his tail, and keep spamming plunder blade. Then once you feel you're ready, leave the mission. This will grant you manes, tails, claws, and horns.
The third stage is just as simple. Only in this one you're just going to look for SoS missions for The Legendary Beast (repel mission). Technically this part is easy to solo, but it's a special assignment and you can't repeat it. This should only take about 10 - 15 minutes, and as long as your team doesn't die like five times, you'll get on average about 4 bones for completion. The armour needs 13.
The fourth stage is the hardest part in my opinion. To get aether shards you want to look for and complete "A visitor from another world" its the one with the giant kulu yaku and his crystal. Look for SoS missions and complete this to get aether shards. Though good luck. I only got one shard. It was the last shard I needed. (For armour and upgrading dragon soul you need 8) this is another mission where randoms will fuck it up for you more so than the minster, but he needs to be done via sos because he's a special assignment. A tip in fighting this fucker, only attack him when he stops moving to stare at his crystal. Rest of the time just dodge.
And that's pretty much it. It's still a lot easier to do this that team up with pugs and after twenty five minutes loose because some fucker wanted to do the jump emote for Eclyptic Meteor, and getting nothing but a couple claws.

Help for Roger anyone?
Posted 12 years agoI'm not really keen on posting these kinda journals, but 
roger has been having it kinda rough. Recently his arting tablet has broke, and he doesn't have the cash to replace it. I know how aggravating it is is to loose your tablet, especially if it helps you make a little bit of an extra income.
Roger's birthday is coming up and I was just throwing this out there... maybe someone or a few could get together to help him with getting a new one? I would myself but I'm in no better condition than he is. A Monoprice tablet is about $50, it's a decent one that I've gotten for others before. If you need help shopping for one or pricing them I can help you. It might brighten his spirits and make his birthday a little happier.
I've enjoyed talking to him before and he's a nice kitty. I just thought i'd do something nice.
