New to Rise, advice for hammer?

MHWorld was my intro to the series. Hammer main, I also play IG (not well but I have fun) and LBG but I find crafting ammo mid combat to be a kick in the dingding. I'm starting MHRise with a hammer. Any warnings, tips, tricks, etc. to have as much fun as possible are appreciated,TIA. I've heard this series has a lot of details that are never explained in game .
