Preparing for a hunt

Am I going overboard for doing the following on almost every group hunts?

  • Eat for defense and proper element if Im not familiar with the monster.
  • Use Demondrug, Armorskin, Might Seeds.
  • Bring flash bombs
  • Bring Lifepowder and help teammates with it.
  • And wtv else might make the hunt easier...

What do you typically like to bring/use?

If your unsure about the monster, that's completely ok! Though I find the more items I bring, the hard it is for me to sort through them.

I usually bring everything except the armor buffs and items on this list.

Depend on difficulty of quest and how good the group I'm with is (as far as I can tell from hr and their sets). I always bring life powders, also dust of life when fighting hypers/elder dragons and stuff. When it's a quest I think is going to be longer I use supply drop for more life powders.

When I'm solo I also bring all these things so I have more healing, or can heal my cats lol. Supply drop for max potions when I cart.

Other items I like to bring are flash bombs for flying stuff. Hunter drink for sets/weapons that need it. Mega dash juice for stamina heavy weapons. Always bring a demon drug for the small attack buff. Psychoserums to find the monsters. Bombs. Traps. Steak. Ancient potion for the first cart.

Mostly eat for attack up with corresponding elemental resistance. Depends on weapon what skills; mostly sharpener/black belt/temper/groomer. When facing a real threat I eat resistance and get the Felyne insurance for a free cart.

As a Prowler main, I bring Max potions, shock/pitfall traps, far casters, and Large Barrel Bombs, even though Prowlers can't use them.

Why? They can given to hunters mid quest. In a "no cart" quest, max potions go to whoever runs out of healing somehow. Bringing traps are godsends to capture quests, or if the monster ends up limping home. LBB in the event of sleep bombing tactics. Far casters for Hunt-A-Thon quests.

well, it's more what you think is necessary

  • I eat for attack 90% of the time
  • I don't bring demondrug/armorskin 95% of the time, because it's not worth it imo (it's like a few seconds faster for having to farm those)
  • I don't bring flashbombs 95% of the time, hitting the wrong monsters only makes the hunt harder
  • lifepowder and dust of life for online hunts (unless I play something like sleepbombing SnS and don't have space for it)
  • dungbombs, if the area is unstable and dashjuice, if the monster has water/ice blight
  • hunter drinks, because I have like 300 of them and no other use for my wycademy points

Personally, I eat Moxie, bring Lifepowder, and charge the monster on sight like a fucking madman with my doot stick. I wouldn't say you're doing anything wrong, though. We all play differently.
