00:09 * Cepheid starts cultivating thunderbugs. Lots of thunderbugs.
00:11 <Schism> This will be a target...
00:11 <Schism> Thunderbugs and sleep herbs.
00:12 <Cepheid> Don't forget bitterbugs and honey for catalysts.
00:12 <Schism> Bitterbugs, yes. Honey I can grind easily.
00:13 <Schism> I am also getting several of my Palicoes/Palamutes to at least level 10.
00:14 <Schism> Naturally, that's what I'm using the Lagniapples on.
00:14 <Cepheid> Same.
00:14 <Schism> All the training ones are level 10+ now, but I'm of half a mind to raise some to 15, now, for better trading purposes.
00:14 <Cepheid> Behind the tree with the small, locked shrine in it, you can find vines growing up it. The vines can be climbed to a cohoot nest, which, after every quest, can be searched for random items, which includes lagniapples.

00:17 <Schism> Oh! Interesting.
00:17 <Schism> Another Lagniapple for me.
00:18 <Schism> And a steel egg. I take it that one item spawns per quest and up to 5 total.
00:18 <Cepheid> I got lucky once and got 3.
00:18 <Cepheid> Not one per, but a random assortment.
00:18 <Cepheid> Up to 5 items, I've noticed.
00:18 <Schism> Interesting...
00:18 <Schism> I shall have to check that more frequently then. o3o Rather like taking one's Porxie for a spin.
00:18 <Cepheid> I've also once only just gotten ONE item out of it.
00:19 <Schism> Random selection. Hey, free stuff is free stuff.

00:20 * Cepheid continues training cats towards level 35.
00:21 <Cepheid> You'll be limited to level 20, until you do the Hub 4* urgent.
00:22 <Cepheid> At which point it apparently goes up to something like... 50?
00:23 <Schism> I see. Well, that's okay. I'm just going through the low-level stuff and getting what I can. And all my cats and dogs are still hovering around 10-14 anyway. (I do want to get them to 15 for the extra trading bonus.)
00:23 <Cepheid> Mmhmm, yeah, that trading bonus is useful. Kinda piddly though. That said, you get better choices after the level cap removal.
00:23 <Schism> Eh, anything to get more shock traps.
00:24 <Schism> And tranq bombs, before they're purchasable.
00:24 <Schism> If they become purchasable at all.
00:25 <Cepheid> They do.

00:32 <Cepheid> They're basically bounties from World.
00:32 <Cepheid> 20.
00:32 * Schism nodnods.
00:32 <Cepheid> Aaand also unlocked the Flooded Forest subcamp.
00:32 <Schism> Oh. Wait, you hadn't gotten that yet?
00:33 <Schism> I just did that myself. Wroggi aren't exactly easy to find, but still.
00:34 * Schism spent the better part of that 3* "kill 8 smol monsters" quest in the Village trying to find the things. Then went between 11 and 8.
00:34 <Cepheid> I was lazy.
00:34 <Schism> Well, now you can be even more lazy.
00:35 <Cepheid> Man, level 20 cats and speedy bargain really increases the output of thunderbugs.
00:35 <Cepheid> Said I'd get 1 per round, I'm getting 3 per round.
00:35 <Schism> o3o Noice. Well, certainly you're not very likely to use 6 shock traps per run.
00:35 <Cepheid> 9.
00:35 <Cepheid> I got the third submarine.
00:35 <Schism> Oh right. o3o Still.
00:35 <Cepheid> Indeed.
00:35 <Schism> So you're going to stock up to, what, 200, 250?
00:36 <Cepheid> About that.
00:36 * Schism wonders if Cepheid's cats are of the trading disposition.
00:36 <Cepheid> There's no such disposition, the gathering disposition is just "they gather items around the field." and nothing special, as far as I know.
00:37 <Cepheid> Then again, I haven't taken a look at the skills for gathering cats.
00:37 <Schism> Hmm. I could'a sworn... well, either way. o3o
00:39 <Cepheid> Well, as is, two of them ARE gathering. Third's healing.
00:39 <Schism> Reasonable!
00:39 * Schism makes plans to go out to a club the moment Ontario opens. Ahaha no.
00:41 <Schism> Getting my freaking bangs cut would not be a bad idea, though.
00:42 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:42 <Cepheid> Massive Bone x3. Hmm.
00:42 <Schism> A fine enough drop.
00:43 <Cepheid> Not sure where I can get it from.
00:43 <Cepheid> Outside of Goss.
00:43 <Schism> Hmm. Good question. @_@ What's it for?
00:43 <Cepheid> Which... seems to be it.
00:43 * Schism also is probably going to need to sleep soon.
00:44 <Cepheid> For a SnS in the Tetranodon tree. You'd think with that in mind, Tetra would drop it.
00:44 <Cepheid> But nope. Goss Harag.

00:57 * Schism upgrades her Bhanabra gear. It's a nice, neutral set of armour.
00:57 <Schism> Bnahabra*
00:57 <Cepheid> Not easy to get it, due to the bugs being stingy.
00:58 <Cepheid> Hum, got the bones.
00:59 <Cepheid> And with that, I've got one of every rarity 3 or higher weapon without going into High Rank.
00:59 <Cepheid> For the Ore tree anyway.
00:59 <Schism> Pretty straightforward once I started going after the bugs atop my Palamute instead of hitting them with my weapon.
00:59 <Cepheid> And SnS.
00:59 <Cepheid> ...
00:59 <Cepheid> Friggen hilarious, Capcom.
00:59 <Cepheid> For the Goss Harag tree, I need 2 Massive Bones. Which I just spent on the Tetra tree.
01:00 <Schism> Oi.

01:13 <Cepheid> THAT'S what that icon means on the materials list.
01:13 <Cepheid> The little box next to some percentages indicates there's multiple sources from which the item can be carved, or multiple drop chances.
01:17 <Cepheid> By the by, if you're wondering why the attack numbers are so low in comparison to World's weapons, it's because Ichinose has preferred to show raw values rather than scaled values.
01:18 <Cepheid> World used a scaling factor ranging from 1.3 to like, 5.5 or so, for different weapon classes.
01:28 <Schism> Ohai Ludroth weapons. Water damage, yay.
01:31 <Cepheid> ...
01:32 <Cepheid> Okay, the cohoot at the top of the tree, is staring at something behind the game's camera. The eyes move as the angle of the camera changes, it's following something with it's eyes.
01:32 <Schism> Toxic Kumori. ... plants from the Argosy?
01:33 <Cepheid> I believe so.
01:33 <Cepheid> Or Meowcenaries.
01:33 <Cepheid> Not sure which exactly.
01:34 <Cepheid> Yeh.
01:34 <Cepheid> Toxic Kumori come from Argosy.
01:35 <Cepheid> Plant/Fish market, specifically.
01:41 <Schism> Axes are... different.
01:41 <Cepheid> I wonder what monsters Capcom has planned for this month's patch.
01:41 <Cepheid> Axes, as in, switch-axes? Yeah, they're tricky to get used to.
01:42 <Schism> Not sure if it's a switch-axe, but it was certainly quite bulky and ... yeah.
01:43 <Schism> Buddy Skill learned: Earplugs. Oh dear.
01:44 <Cepheid> Does the weapon transform when you hit ZR?
01:45 <Schism> Probably, but I wasn't able to really tell.
01:45 <Schism> ...Axesonom? Really, game?
01:46 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's switch-axe.
01:47 <Cepheid> Transforms into a greatsword temporarily. Attack with it enough, you gain Amped status, which causes secondary explosions of minor damage atop your regular damage.
01:47 <Cepheid> Can also do Zero-Sum Discharge, or just straight-up discharge at any time while in sword-mode.
01:48 <Schism> Hmm, useful. o3o;
01:48 <Schism> Shall have to experiment with it.

11:39 <RazorSharpFang> You can dispose of plastic and other wastes without producing particle pollution, it's just expensive and annoying to do so.

11:47 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
11:47 <ConfusionRift> It's always been like that.
11:47 <Finwe> Latin does not help here, in Latin it's ante diem tertium nonas maias.
11:49 <Finwe> The third day prior to nonas of May, inclusively.
11:49 <ConfusionRift> You're just gonna get more confused. :P
11:49 <Finwe> Which means that the nonas of May is the day after tomorrow.
11:50 <Finwe> Ante diem secundum is not used, though, the day before a named day is called pridie instead.
11:51 <Finwe> So tomorrow is going to be called pridie nonas maias.
11:52 <ConfusionRift> Which would be "dia despues de mañana", with mañana having two meanings.
11:52 <Finwe> The named days are kalendas, the first day of a month, nonas, the fifth or seventh day of a month and idus, the thirteenth or the fifteenth day of a month.
11:55 <ConfusionRift> Languages are weird.
11:55 <Finwe> The location of nones and ides depending on the length of the month.

12:06 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: First off... no idea. Second, the store WILL get crowded and chaotic for the whole day. Considering everything is now in full "work till you die or kill someone" mode at the store, it's not gonna be a good day, whatsoever.
12:08 <Finwe> Enjoy your strategically placed day off. :3
12:09 <ConfusionRift> Dood, that's like tossing a dime, and by some miracle landing on its edge, standing.
12:09 <RazorSharpFang> And then you roll 666 dice and they all roll 6.
12:10 <RazorSharpFang> You then roll 20 D20 and they all roll 20.
12:10 <RazorSharpFang> Something is afoot.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I feel some curse is being conjured.
12:11 * Schism fires a Splatta cannon at Ali's forces. It turns around and scythes through all of her own.
12:13 <Schism> Welp, G5 ponies have cell phones, MLP is ruined forever.
12:13 <Lumindia> welp
12:14 <Lumindia> everything is awful forever
12:14 * Lumindia chews on Schism's tail
12:14 <Schism> Except some pones here. *squeak*
12:14 <RazorSharpFang> Cell phones are great though. I can attend meetings while walking to work. Fantastic.
12:14 <RazorSharpFang> I can also try to help someone connect to the VPN on the train.
12:15 * ConfusionRift only has it for calls. So losing it would mean not much at all.
12:16 <Finwe> My cell phone does not connect to the telephone network, which just makes it a small tablet computer.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> I would lose $200, some useless work photos, and the information to an email address that doesn't have my full information and is not linked to anything other than the phone.
12:17 <Schism> I'd pretty much just lose a bunch of ebooks and MP3s at this point. My cell phone is similarly disconnected.
12:17 <Schism> So it is an MP3 player with impressive battery life. o3o
12:18 <Finwe> Schism: Indeed, not being able to connect to the network greatly increases battery life.
12:18 <Finwe> The WiFi module works, though.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> Hence why I have Locations and Wifi off. Then again, for other reasons as well.
12:19 <Schism> Of course! Wifi is nice to connect to now and then when you want to resync the clock, of course.
12:19 <Finwe> I'm actually not sure whether it's the antenna or the GSM module that's defective.
12:20 * ConfusionRift wouldn't mind getting a brand new phone, but he knows it's just gonna get thrashed.
12:20 <Finwe> Schism: And for sending the blood glucose concentration data.
12:21 <Schism> Also helpful, aye.
12:21 <Finwe> I use the phone for reading the sensor.
12:27 * Schism stretches, takes a cup of tea, then spittakes at Tumblr's claim that it's LGBTQ+ friendly. "Yeah, no."
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Tumblr...
12:30 <ConfusionRift> Either way, they're both dumpster fires. The difference is that one is fireworks covered in black powder, and the other is a bunch of pool chemicals surrounding propane tanks.
12:31 <Finwe> LG's Bluetooth Q+?
12:36 <Schism> This is about right. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/773351107756949545/839404591019458560/FB_IMG_1620200029853.jpg
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Yep, right on the nail.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> The equivalent of someone telling someone who's sad to stop being sad.
12:38 <Schism> "Money doesn't buy happiness," says someone with enough money that they don't have to worry about running out anytime soon.
12:38 <Schism> Mm. Or, "Oh, that's just a tiny problem, you shouldn't stress over it, people have much more important things to be depressed about than [x]."
12:38 <ConfusionRift> Or someone who's not dependent on their income, or have nothing that require having an income. (coughs)
12:40 <ConfusionRift> Ah, yes. What better way to make someone feel better than to tell them that their problems are meaningless or not as meaningful as those of someone else.
12:40 <Schism> The best part is when my own brain does that to me!
12:40 <Schism> Because it's been done to me so often over the course of my life that I've freaking internalized it.
12:43 <Schism> ConfusionRift, Finwe: the Ingenuity Helicopter sent back some interesting data yesterday. o3o https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/579457674635116564/839481870135328788/image0.jpg

13:01 <ConfusionRift> What evil plans have they unleashed?
13:01 <Schism> Link is adjacent to an NSFW account, so I'll PM you it.
13:02 <Schism> Reminds me of the one video from NCHProductions.
13:03 <ConfusionRift> Actually, I like that. Not... what's about to happen, but it's a nice touch to give monsters some life.
13:03 <Schism> It is, but oh gods the guilt.
13:03 <ConfusionRift> That's one thing World got right.
13:04 <Schism> Oh yeah. Just wandering about in a ghillie suit and following monsters around to see what they do...

13:07 <ConfusionRift> They would be doing things, or just sit and relax. One could even catch a Rath grooming. It gave them a bit more life, which will be missed, since the majority just get real angry as soon as you show up.
13:08 * Schism follows a Kirin around for a bit. Not stealthed or anything, just wandering with it.

14:19 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:19 <Schism> I will admit, the Arena quests being what they are, they're a good incentive to learn different weapons.
14:19 <Cepheid> I can't wait to see what kind of crazy tie-ins happen this time around.
14:20 <Cepheid> Uniqlo will be one, as it always is.
14:20 <Schism> Indeed. https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/ut-graphic-tees/monster-hunter
14:21 <Cepheid> Yerp.
14:21 <Cepheid> In June, huh? Probably when we'll see the event quest, then.
14:21 <Schism> Yup.
14:22 * Schism considers. "Hum. I should take a walk. Got a call with the family in a few hours, so getting out there and back will be helpful." Of course, she still wears a mask everywhere.
14:22 <Cepheid> One little detail I want to see change over time..
14:22 <Cepheid> Is I'd like to see Chino's artwork start piling up.
14:22 <Cepheid> That's the cat that's doing the paintings in the Buddy Plaza.
14:23 <Schism> Aha. o3o
14:23 <Cepheid> If you look next to him, you can find a bunch of them already.
14:23 <Schism> Shall have to see!
14:24 * Schism nods to herself. "Yes, I shall be back shortly."
14:25 <Cepheid> ...
14:25 <Cepheid> My Switch isn't turning on.
14:25 <Cepheid> Ah, there it goes.
14:29 <Cepheid> Top-left to Lower-right, the paintings next to chino are... A painting of Bherna, the village from MHGU. The Sandship from MH3/MH3U/MH4/MH4U, the one used to fight Jhen Mohran and it's subspecies. Yukumo Village from MHP3rd.
14:30 <Cepheid> The last one's hard to identify, but it looks like either the starting area of the Jungle region from MH1/2, or Cheeko Sands from MH4
14:30 <Cepheid> Then you got all the paintings of the monsters stacked up next to it. Apparently, Chino is the one who does all the monster portraits.
14:32 <Schism> Noice. o3o Undoubtedly a skill passed along his family.
14:34 <Cepheid> I can barely type thanks to Tizzy snuggling me.
14:34 <RazorSharpFang> All the oil companies are doing really well, which is making my account bleed.
14:35 <RazorSharpFang> Exxon Mobil has hit 60.65 a share, up from when it was 32.50 back in September.
14:39 <Cepheid> Hum, I need Monster Broth now.
14:40 <Cepheid> Which means killin' bugs with poison.
14:40 <RazorSharpFang> I would have been up so much if I had bet on oil stocks and against green energy instead of against oil and with clean energy

15:13 * Schism attempts to summon Ali via https://twitter.com/brellom02/status/1389259419343458307 .
15:14 <Cepheid> For the love of- Capcom, why did you do this?
15:14 <Schism> The video I sent?
15:14 <Cepheid> Nah.
15:14 <Cepheid> In MHGU, there's two peices of Great Maccao armor that has a weaker variant.
15:15 <Cepheid> They share a very similar name, so differentiating between the two requires paying attention.
15:15 <Schism> Ugh.
15:16 <RazorSharpFang> Off to sleep good night.
15:16 <Cepheid> But yeah, basic gist, guess which one I made?
15:16 <Cepheid> Night, Razor.
15:16 <Schism> The stronger one, of course.
15:17 <Cepheid> Nah, the weaker one, by accident.
15:17 * Schism had an inkling.
15:18 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-1tu24m.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
15:20 * Cepheid throws a paintball at Schism.
15:20 * Schism attempts to escape to the other side of the map, but can now be tracked.
15:24 <Cepheid> Cute video, by the by.
15:24 * Cepheid murders the Great Izuchi.
15:26 * Schism nuuuus. "Those baby Izuchi..."
15:26 <Cepheid> I wish the Ghilie Mantle existed in Rise. I'd like to go around and watch the monsters, see if they do anything besides just wander around and wait for the player to murder them.
15:26 <Schism> Maybe they'll add something like that in a future patch.
15:26 <Schism> In such a fashion that it doesn't completely break eggs, of course.
15:27 <Cepheid> Personally I'd prefer Pro Transporter be restored.
15:27 <Schism> That would also be nice.
15:28 <Schism> Shouldn't that be, like, a main skill on the high-rank Kulu-ya-ku gear?
15:28 <Cepheid> If it exists in Rise, it's not listed on Kiranico, and I haven't seen Kulu HR gear yet.
15:29 <Schism> Hopefully it'll show up.
15:29 <Cepheid> Yeah, that "Deliver to main camp" thing is a bit much.
15:29 <Cepheid> One of them "one step backwards" changes.
15:29 <Schism> Especially when the main camp is literally on the opposite side from the nest.
15:30 <Cepheid> Basically reminiscent of the earlier Old World games.
15:30 <Cepheid> Only without the bullshit those games pulled.
15:30 <Schism> "Interrupting Rhenoplos."
15:30 <Cepheid> More "Hey, let's block this path with an unbreakable rock."
15:30 <Schism> Oh right. o3o;
15:32 * Cepheid kills a young larinoth and its parents.
15:34 <Cepheid> Right, that's the last, PROPER peice of armor of this set.
15:34 <Cepheid> Took me way too long to make, anyways..
15:34 <Cepheid> I should focus on making sets that have resists in the five basic elements.
15:42 <Cepheid> Oh. Nice. The Dex has an armor search for armores with specific skills and such.
15:42 <Cepheid> And can create an automatic list of items needed to craft it.
15:47 * Cepheid tries to create a conventional set they used in World.
15:47 * Cepheid looks at the required armor pieces.
15:47 <Cepheid> ... Aaahahahahaha.
15:47 <Cepheid> No.
15:48 <Cepheid> While I can get all of the other parts..
15:48 <Cepheid> One of them is... elusive, as I have not encountered the relevant type of monster. On top of that, it'd eat me alive.
15:53 <Cepheid> Interesting how I have 7 gendrome heads, but 0 gendrome hide+.
15:56 <Schism> Darnit...
15:56 <Schism> Need another Kulu beak.
15:56 <Cepheid> Want me to help?
15:59 <Schism> Nah, these take like a few minutes tops, but thanks. It's that one last piece of Kulu armor.
16:00 <Schism> Also gotta moidor another Barroth, so there's that.
16:00 <Schism> Thankfully, every time I fight either a Barroth or a Kulu-ya-ku, the other one shows up an instant later.
16:01 <Cepheid> Monsters on the field for each quest are set in stone. You're guaranteed to get the same monsters every time you do that specific quest.
16:03 <Schism> Yea... and this is a "Hunt 14 lizards" quest in the Sandy Plains.
16:03 <Schism> So, yes, Barroth and Kulu.
16:04 <Schism> I am however of half a mind to get to 4* now, in order to get access to more options.
16:04 <Lumindia> current mood:
16:04 <Lumindia> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ-6c92Rxs4
16:04 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about how do you feel today
16:04 <Cepheid> One thing I hope arrives in a later patch for Rise is a restoration of the manner in which World's SOS flare worked. In that you can search for quests based on target, etc.
16:05 <Cepheid> Current system just doesn't work.
16:05 * Schism contemplates hunting a Khezu, which is optional. She avoids for now.
16:06 <Cepheid> I love how a bug in an earlier game lead to a mechanic for Khezu.
16:06 <Schism> Actually, if I _do_ face Khezu, I'm going to finish this Barroth set first.
16:07 <Schism> 20 lightning resistance? Mais oui.
16:07 <Cepheid> Yeh.
16:07 <Schism> (And a set for the cat.)
16:08 <Cepheid> As for the bug, short gist of it, in MHFU, Khezu did not apply the eye status to players. The eye status was critical for two things, the superman dive, and the music playing.
16:09 <Cepheid> As a result, you could not superman dive away from Khezu, nor did running away from it drain stamina more quickly. Also, battle music did not play.
16:09 <Cepheid> Just the ambient sound effects/music of the area, if it had any.
16:09 <Cepheid> Later games fixed the eye status, it's now applied, but they kept the silence.
16:10 <Schism> Not _too_ bad... hm.
16:10 <Schism> The silence actually kind of makes sense, considering that Khezu is blind and deaf.
16:11 <Schism> Hmm. Yeah, if I'm facing Barroth and Kulu again, I'm going to give my cat Tetra armour.
16:13 * Schism also gives her pupper some armour too. It's silly-looking.
16:15 <Cepheid> Hum, never thought of the silence that way.
16:18 <Cepheid> Just need 8 gendrome hide+ses.
16:18 <Schism> Now, how did I get 25 more Raw Meat? Oh well.
16:19 * Schism gets Dango Ticket x10. Somehow.
16:20 <Cepheid> It's approximately a little under 1/2 of what you spend for a motley mix. Seems to vary a little.
16:25 * Cepheid notices an NPC in the village.
16:25 <Cepheid> Hey Aiden, how's it hanging?
16:26 <Cepheid> Aiden being the Excitable A-Lister, and he makes multiple appearances in other games. Particularly MH4/MH4U and MHX/MHXX.
16:26 <Cepheid> In those games, he's the Ace Cadet. A newbie
16:27 <Cepheid> I kinda hope he makes some sort of appearance in Rise, be it a physical appearance, or mention of his name,.
16:29 <Cepheid> Arguably Master Utsushi or whatever his name is might be considered one. His mannerisms definitely reflect Aiden a bit.
16:30 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
16:43 <Schism> This is a helpful quest.
16:43 * Schism acquires 10 Screamer Sacs.
16:44 <Schism> Ah, my main pets are up to level 15. o3o
16:44 <Schism> NOW, did I get enough materials to finish off the Baroth and Kulu sets?
16:45 <Cepheid> Hate hate hate hate blagonga.
16:45 <Schism> Kulu yes, Barroth... noooope.
16:45 <Schism> Should do the Barroth hunt quest on its own at this rate.
16:45 <Cepheid> It's not that difficult to take out, so yeh.
16:46 <Schism> Mmm. Its attacks are all massively telegraphed. Main thing is the head.
16:46 <Schism> So, bash it into a wall about six times until its head breaks.
16:47 * Schism is kinda getting the hang of wirebug mounting.
16:48 <Cepheid> 's all it takes to break the head? Six wall slams?
16:48 <Cepheid> I used a hammer, myself, to guarantee a break.
16:48 <Cepheid> So, not only is Made in Abyss getting a second anime season..
16:48 <Cepheid> It's also getting an ARPG game.
16:48 <Schism> Oh, I'm sure it takes more, but yeah. I should probably use a hammer, or at least learn to use one.
16:48 <Schism> Hmmm.
16:48 <LibrarianofHope> had a good call owo
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> 20 percent off retail price
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> i can work with that
16:49 * Cepheid goes to upgrade their Frost Edge. But they are one blango pelt+ short.
16:49 * Cepheid eye twitches.
16:50 <Cepheid> I am not hunting Blagonga again.
16:50 <Cepheid> Fortunately, the Harvest Tour: Arctic Ridge has blangos. That'll do. And nice job, LibrarianofHope.
16:50 <LibrarianofHope> thank you
16:51 <LibrarianofHope> now i need to make a page
16:51 <LibrarianofHope> ill call the store Mistlight Hobby Company
16:51 <Schism> Lagniapple. Well, that's helpful.
16:51 <LibrarianofHope> or something like that
16:52 <Schism> At this rate I'm probably going to have all my pets up to level 20 before I can raise the cap.
16:52 <Cepheid> You will.
16:52 <Cepheid> That was the case with me.
16:52 <LibrarianofHope> monster hunter has pets
16:52 <LibrarianofHope> ?
16:52 <Cepheid> Well, they're the felynes and the puppers.
16:52 <Cepheid> We just call them pets for short.
16:53 <Schism> Yup! Palicoes, which are cats, and Palamutes, which are riding dogs.
16:53 <Schism> Or Felynes and Canynes.
16:53 <LibrarianofHope> palawhat?
16:53 <Schism> A pun on 'calico'.
16:53 <LibrarianofHope> its new to the last one?
16:53 <Cepheid> Palamutes are new to Rise, yeah.
16:53 <LibrarianofHope> ahh
16:53 <LibrarianofHope> last one i did was world
16:53 <Schism> Palicoes are a staple of the series from the very beginning. The doggoes are new indeed. o3o
16:54 <LibrarianofHope> i like the game but i always hit a limit point where i drop it
16:54 * Schism decides to recruit a new helper named Jet, just to bug Heartbreak.
16:54 <Cepheid> Mmm, it's not for everyone.
16:54 <LibrarianofHope> i love it, but in dosages
16:54 <Cepheid> Ah. XX/GU was the one to introduce the Field Pouch.
16:54 <LibrarianofHope> its the lack of ending
16:54 <LibrarianofHope> its a blessing and a problem
16:55 <Cepheid> There is an ending to World, now, officially.
16:56 <LibrarianofHope> also the admiral is canon as being ron pearlman
16:56 <Cepheid> That I don't get. Unless the movie was set like, far in the future.
16:56 <Cepheid> Because the Admiral doesn't look that old in the game.
16:56 <LibrarianofHope> wel ron pearlman just looks like ron pearlman
16:56 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.
16:57 <Finwe> Messrs Cepheid and LibrarianofHope; Mlles Angeline and Schism.
16:57 * Finwe doffs his hat.
16:57 <LibrarianofHope> but they definitley used the hunter as supersoldiers and mosnters as bioweapons idea
16:57 <LibrarianofHope> which is kinda canon i think
16:57 <Cepheid> It's implied, yeah.
16:58 <Cepheid> The ancient civilization building unusual stuff, towers and the like is canon.
16:58 <LibrarianofHope> and dragons
16:58 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.
16:58 <Cepheid> As are all the dragons and monsters. As for them being bioweapons, I don't recall if that's ever implied anywhere.
16:58 * Schism doffs her dango.
16:58 <Cepheid> But it seems reasonable to assume the ancient civilization may have created them.
16:58 <Schism> Standard Barroth takedown quest. Let's goooo~
16:58 <LibrarianofHope> i have a notion they used them as weapons
16:58 <Cepheid> But yeh, World has an ending now. Only problem is getting to it.
16:59 <LibrarianofHope> im sure the canon there is says they made them
16:59 <LibrarianofHope> not that canon matters in mosnter hunter, but its a neat detail
16:59 <LibrarianofHope> and makes mosnter hunter post apocalyptic
17:00 <LibrarianofHope> beats zombies
17:00 <Finwe> YMM "Mosntre Huntre"
17:00 <Finwe> o3o
17:01 <LibrarianofHope> tvtropes?
17:01 <LibrarianofHope> i just had an idea
17:01 <LibrarianofHope> im painting mosnter hunting savage orcs
17:01 <Cepheid> Hum. What other elements do I still need to create weapons for..?
17:01 <LibrarianofHope> ill paint thier dragon hides as mosnter hunter colors
17:02 <LibrarianofHope> neat
17:03 <Cepheid> I need a good fire weapon. Djinn is a good path for that.
17:03 <Cepheid> And I already got a good thunder weapon, so I can go hunt a Rathalos for it's one shell that I need.
17:06 <Cepheid> Hmm. I should also refactor my item sets to include the stuff I'll need on a regular basis.

17:14 <LibrarianofHope> bless you
17:14 <Schism> Requirements: Barroth Scalp, Big Fin.
17:14 <Schism> I need 1 of each. No drops on THAT capture...
17:14 <Cepheid> Sure you don't want a hand? Actually, do you even have the hub ranking to fight barroth?
17:15 <Schism> I do not have that hub ranking. I've been giving the Hub quests a miss. I should probably take care of a few of them.
17:15 <Cepheid> You can do it in the village quest stuff.
17:15 <Schism> Could go after the rest of the Rhenoplos set.
17:16 <Cepheid> The test quests.
17:16 * Schism nods. "I know, Barroth was a 3* target. I just captured it."
17:16 <Schism> Oh.
17:16 <Cepheid> They advance you up to at least HR3.
17:16 <Cepheid> Or was it HR4?
17:16 <Schism> I'm going to just take care of a Great Baggi momentarily. Something simple.
17:16 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Connection closed)
17:16 <Cepheid> In any case, the tests increase your hunter rank, and thus the hub quest access level.
17:16 *** Joins: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles)
17:17 * Schism nodnods.
17:17 <Cepheid> Man I got a hilarious set of monsters on this tour.
17:17 <Cepheid> Zinogre, Mizu, and Rathalos.
17:19 <Schism> Interesting set.
17:19 <Schism> Is the game playing Rock/Paper/Scissors?
17:19 <Cepheid> Who knows?
17:19 <Cepheid> But I still would like to know why they didn't just transliterate Mizutsune's Japanese name.
17:20 <Cepheid> Officially, it transliterates to "Tamamitsune"
17:21 <Schism> Oh fine, game. I'll fight a Great Wroggi.
17:21 <Schism> Actually, better bet. Royal Ludroth, I need some of the junk from that.
17:21 * Schism bumps up her water resistance... somewhat.
17:22 <Schism> Schirmshorn, loadout should be...
17:22 <Cepheid> Will you monsters PLEASE GO AWAY? I'm trying to hunt bullfango here.
17:23 * Schism peers at Cepheid's stock of 250 dung.
17:23 <Cepheid> I wish.
17:24 <Schism> Don't typically bring bombs with me, but some of these should help with Ludroth. Not that I _need_ the help, but still.
17:24 <Cepheid> I wonder how long it'll be before we get G-Rank.
17:24 <Schism> Oh, right, already in water-resist gear. Yay.
17:25 <Schism> That's... not a bad idea, inventor. Use Royal Ludroth hide as sponges for hydroponics?
17:25 <Cepheid> Would it really work, though? Wouldn't they just dry out in the sun?
17:26 <Schism> Well, you can put some shade there...
17:26 <Cepheid> True.
17:27 <Cepheid> 13 areas. 12 notes. So one area will have no notes. I have 5 notes for this region remaining..
17:27 <Cepheid> So, I guess I'll start at the top, examine areas through and through very carefully.
17:28 <Cepheid> Of course, this works under the assumption there's one note per area.
17:30 <Cepheid> If I'm gonna search though, I'm gonna bring a better set of gear. Wall Running + Marathon Runner.

17:38 * Schism acquires a smol Royal Ludroth.
17:38 <Schism> um. Spongy hides and Aqua sacs... I guess I needed the sacs...
17:38 <Schism> But this feels... insufficient for my goals.
17:40 <Schism> One more Royal Ludroth should clear up that set.
17:41 <Schism> Ludroth set would be nicer if it weren't water attack, something to which Ludroth is utterly immune.
17:42 <Schism> But this is a given.

17:58 <Schism> Claws*
17:59 <Cepheid> Guh, and the claws are annoying to get.
17:59 <Cepheid> Target, Carves, or Drop rewards.
17:59 <Schism> I'm going to use the Tetra pants as an alternative for now.
18:00 <Schism> I can just go 'screw it' and just murder a few of them.
18:01 <Schism> Despite trying for captures on everything I can do.
18:02 <Cepheid> Capturing doesn't get you claws.
18:02 <Schism> Indeed.
18:02 * Schism fills in her endemic life journal with some of the pictures she's taken. Also some pictures of Jaggias and Jaggis. She got a really cute picture of a sleeping Jaggia.
18:04 <Schism> Oh, got a cute picture of a Bombadgy, too. Hee.
18:06 <LibrarianofHope> schism, ever read the mosnter hunter novels?
18:06 <Schism> I have not.
18:07 <LibrarianofHope> its kinda of a pulpy idea, like in hellsing i think
18:07 * Schism also spends 10,000 zenny on Trap Tools.
18:07 <LibrarianofHope> its like humans using guns to kill mosnters, like werewolves and such
18:08 * Cepheid hums. On one hand, searching for these notes is something to do. On the other hand, some of them are.... hidden in an obtuse manner.
18:08 <Schism> "Just once, just ONCE I'd like to fight a monster guns work on!" --Jason Wood
18:08 <LibrarianofHope> the issue is the ammo really
18:09 <LibrarianofHope> guns should work on everything, if you have the proper ammo
18:10 * Schism buys 50 Raw Meat. Because.
18:11 <Schism> If nothing else, this should get me enough dango tickets for a few runs.
18:11 <Cepheid> In theory, yes. In practice... I can see monsters having hides thick enough or hard enough to absorb or deflect bullets.
18:12 <Schism> Bishaten, poison monkey. I have... zero poison resistance. Antidotes and maybe a few other items it is.
18:13 <LibrarianofHope> if we are working fantasy, you can alwyas make a kiling weapon
18:13 <LibrarianofHope> god eater for example
18:13 <LibrarianofHope> or even mosnter hunter, proper materials make the same weapon better at its job
18:13 <Schism> Ice weakness... Snow Slicers aren't great but they do go into the green, and the 15 ice element should be okay...
18:15 <Schism> Crumbs, I'm gonna have to look for Parashrooms.
18:16 <Cepheid> I do wonder why Ichinose stopped scaling the attack/element values.
18:16 <Cepheid> I'm guessing it has to do with stuff like Kiranico and tools showing unscaled values.
18:17 <LibrarianofHope> speaking of monster hunter
18:17 <LibrarianofHope> ever seen the videos of universal studios japna
18:17 <LibrarianofHope> has a very cool mh section
18:17 * Ali sinks all of LibrarianofHope's mayo
18:17 <LibrarianofHope> right that
18:17 <LibrarianofHope> i didnt even get the day off this year
18:18 <Ali> Not a big enough holiday?
18:18 <LibrarianofHope> pretty much
18:19 <LibrarianofHope> the usa made it a wayyyy bigger deal than it is
18:19 <Cepheid> Because money.
18:19 <Cepheid> They can use it as an excuse to make money.
18:19 <Ali> Everything in the USA is an excuse to make money
18:19 <LibrarianofHope> its also probably has a racist origin
18:19 * Cepheid sells Ali's cuteness for money.
18:20 <LibrarianofHope> even jaywalking has a racist origin
18:20 <LibrarianofHope> at any rate, 5 de mayo is not really importan to us
18:21 <LibrarianofHope> i think i do this every year, but i dont mind at all
18:21 <LibrarianofHope> 5 de mayo was a battle the mexican army had with the french army
18:23 <LibrarianofHope> the mexican army won that particular batlle
18:23 <LibrarianofHope> we still lost the war
18:23 <LibrarianofHope> had a habsburg emperor for a bit
18:27 <LibrarianofHope> the part im not sure off is why the usa got so obssesed with that particular fate
18:27 <LibrarianofHope> date
18:31 <Finwe> Miss Ali.
18:32 * Finwe doffs his hat.
18:34 * LibrarianofHope provides Ali with a taco al pastor
18:34 <LibrarianofHope> om nom nom
18:34 <Schism> Place trap, monster runs. Me: [insert profanity]
18:36 <Cepheid> Yep.
18:36 <Cepheid> That happens.
18:36 <Cepheid> Hmm.
18:36 <Cepheid> Diablos parts needed.
18:36 <Schism> Tranq Bombs, now available for ... 90z. Hmm.
18:36 * Schism buys 100.
18:36 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: What's in shepherd's taco?
18:37 <LibrarianofHope> its basically a pork kebab taco with specific spices
18:37 <LibrarianofHope> its based on the kebab lebanese inmigrants brought to mexico, we embraced it and adapted it
18:37 <LibrarianofHope> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_pastor
18:38 <LibrarianofHope> there you go finwe
18:38 <LibrarianofHope> it also has pineapple
18:38 <Finwe> o3o
18:39 * Finwe boops Ali with free Nubarron: https://store.steampowered.com/app/414160/Nubarron_The_adventure_of_an_unlucky_gnome/
18:40 <LibrarianofHope> i wonder if there are many proper mexican restaurants in finland
18:40 <LibrarianofHope> i found one in andorra even
18:41 <Schism> Hmmmmmmm. Toxic Kumori AND an Armored Bream.
18:41 <Schism> And a Dreamshell. o3o
18:41 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: I don't know. We have this, among others: https://www.elrey.fi/menu-vuorimiehenkatu/
18:42 <LibrarianofHope> thats awesome!
18:42 <LibrarianofHope> taqueria in helnsinki, that is so neat
18:42 <LibrarianofHope> you should give it a go finwe, if you can
18:43 <LibrarianofHope> it seems legit
18:43 <Schism> Going to have to get these up to level 15 before I do Meowcenaries...
18:44 <Finwe> This one obviously doesn't have a web page: https://www.facebook.com/klandecantina/menu
18:45 <LibrarianofHope> that one is weird
18:45 <Finwe> Anyways, I'm going to cook Russian food tomorrow, viz., beef stroganov.
18:45 <LibrarianofHope> doesnt make much sense to me, in mexican food terms
18:45 <Finwe> *Stroganov
18:45 <LibrarianofHope> the first one is legit
18:46 <LibrarianofHope> there is something so pleasing in seeing a proper taqueria in helsinki
18:46 <Schism> 4*... oh! Six more Great Wirebugs. o3o This will be useful.
18:47 * Schism tries her hand in the Arena with a hammer. Which she has absolutely NO idea how to use.
18:52 <Schism> Alas, failed. Well, that's okay.
18:52 <Schism> Pff. 5z, 5k.
18:53 <Schism> I think I might learn to like the hammer eventually, but that was certainly something.
18:54 <Finwe> Hammers are, in general, used for hitting things.
18:54 <Schism> Yes, but the swing is what it's all about.
18:55 <Schism> Without a good swing, you can't really hit much of anything.
19:00 <Schism> Oh so that's how the hammer works. :3
19:02 <Finwe> Swing low, sweet ch^WSchism.
19:05 <Cepheid> Yeah, the hammer's swings depend on your current movements.
19:05 <Cepheid> If you're standing still, or running, mainly.
19:07 <Cepheid> Man, 4 players + 4 pets = Chaos.

19:10 * Cepheid wanders off to shower.
19:11 <Schism> Ohey. Barroth slain on the second try.
19:12 <Schism> A-rank, no less. I got the hang of the hammer pretty fast.

19:48 <Cepheid> Got it, though. Called in help.
19:48 <Cepheid> Mmm, bird wyvern gem.
19:49 <Cepheid> Mmm. Can equip 3 switch skills on the SnS now.
19:49 <Schism> Noice.

19:51 <Cepheid> Hmm.
19:51 <Cepheid> Quick Sheath 3, Fire Attack 4, Peak Performance 3 for the Aknosom S set. Slots...
19:51 <Cepheid> Not bad.
19:52 <Schism> The 'Elemental Attack' portion of those sets always annoys me. Their purpose is to protect you against those selfsame elemental attacks! Attacks which the enemies you're defending against most certainly won't be weak to...
19:53 * Schism grumblycakes and flops over to her nap.
19:53 <Cepheid> You can mix and match peices in sets. That's what you're supposed to do. :P
19:53 * Schism instead provides Ali with a https://www.deviantart.com/luminaura/art/20-Eevee-878097723 .
19:54 <Schism> I know, I know. But if you get all the set, you get +3 elemental resistance ATB... <.<
19:54 * Schism takes a nap anyway. Be back inna few...
