Tips for All the New Players
Been playing since 2G, and had hundreds of hours on Rise here are some great tips.
- When ur riding ur palamute, u can use potions, sharpen ur wep, craft, etc!!! u can even call ur doggy for a ride in battle. use this when ur in a pinch!!
- When riding your palamute u can hold r1, and hit L2 to do a sprint.
- Wire bug allows u to do an air recovery, but u will not be invincible anymore!! if a monster knocks u down u can use an air recovery to move out of the way also (for example when rajang grabs and throws u on the ground and ur char is laying there)
- Yes u can use your wirebug for mobility, and jump over monsters and attacks!!
- Great wire bugs make traversing the map a lot faster
- The current game does not require u to have over 150 hp in high rank, or to max out your song birds!! So you dont have to spend a lot of time looking for these. **Food bonus doesnt go away when u die.
- When u attack monsters and u see a blue aura around your damage #s thats counted as an aerial attack, and will build the meter towards a monster mount.
- Optimal moves while mounted on a monster (solo) is to – ride it to another area with a different monster, damage the other monster with 3 attacks, then ram it into the other monster (the other monster has not have been in a mountable state). Ride the other monster, attack 3 times, fill the gauge, do the special attack.. then BOOM u get 6 shinies.
- Dont sell any HR monster parts u will need them later, Trust me. Also try to save ur Zenny u will need every bit when starting out. 2nd resource points are easy to get
- The owls nest will max out every 5 quests (excluding gathering quests) in the buddy training zone, climb the big tree. It can give u eggs (to sell for $), Lagniapple apples to boost mercs-traning-boats, etc… BTW your training room is beyond the buddy zone.
- Capturing monsters will not yield you a guarantee 3 pieces like in past games. it will be random from 2-3. capturing will be faster but has the above possible penalty.
- If ur looking for that rare 1%er, carve!!
- The dango special skill will rotate between money, exp, etc..
- You can eat in your tent and switch armors.
- The gathering cat is one of the best due to pilfer skill, 2 gathering cat has diminishing returns but still works – you can only steal up to the slotted max and over a long time, while testing 2 cats they do producing more items, but i like the speed of the palamute and value that over the mats. but you play how u want.
- Also, note “carves” percentage comes from tails as well, so utilize the side table to determine what parts to break and how to efficiently get rare mats
As an additional little tip: The training area is a very, very good place to go to, well, train and try out weapons, combos, skills and the like without needing to go out on a hunt to do so. Even better is that it’s perfectly accessible in lobbies, so it’s great for helping players teach eachother how to play, too.
