That is pretty much everything I like to say for this guide's foreword.

Aside from pondering how to help with troubleshooting I was quite busy these days of updating my guides with Sunbreak content. But nothing of this would be here if it was not for You and your support of what I consider my main guide Advanced Tips and Tricks for Beginners.

Hit Effects: Less
Player Hit Effects: Display at 25%
Other Player Hit Effects: Display at 25%

Transition to Wall Running Off (In Combat Only)
Buttons for Wyvern Riding: A (Weapon Sheathed)

Less stress for the eyes with reduced effects flashes. And while auto-wall-running is awesome, we rather like it being off while in combat. Accidential Wall Running can end up deadly.

That was how I felt about it, trying to get the desired combination of Support Moves and Buddy Skills in addition to the good looks and type.

The regular "lottery" every hunt, waiting for the perfect Buddy... its over... everything is over...











The Buddies are now stronger than ever before, especially with the increased Skill Memory cap.

Do not forget to visit both Cohoots Nests after every 5th hunt at least!
You read it right. Both nests. You get loot from both. Not just from one.


Hint: have you found the other Cohoot Nest in Elgado Dame Luchika talked about?

Pingarh treats you regularly with souvenirs from his endeavours.
Take note of the visual details in regards of his cargo meow and then!

Aside from getting trade-in items which you can exchange into Zenny, they are related to a collector award as well. Yeah, we would like a little souvenir!

This is how you can tell if he has something for you.
Left screenshot shows no wares: no souvenir. Right screenshot: wares: souvenir!




You can easily spot it from afar, when checking on the Argosy e.g. if Pingarth has new wares.

As you already know, with every Master Rank change, the Informant will share with you another "juicy secret" lore detail. But this time, there is something more than just what they have to share. Something else is worth to be taken note between each Master Rank change until you finish the story. Have you found it already?

Situational Dango for the win!

It is absolute worth it to spend some time learning how to make the best use of the new Hopping Skewers. You might be surprised what incredible effects you can get!

Take your time and enjoy the game.
You might be surprised how many lovely details there are to discover!

Like before: bringing along bombs for map exploration will turn out fruitful!
Same goes for the minimap filtered to Endemic Life / Spiribirds only.

You knew already that riding monsters while holding onto a Golden Wirebug gives you more drops and while holding a Ruby Wirebug the Mounted Punisher does significantly more damage to the target monster.

But did you also know that there is an indicator for your fellow hunters which shows when they are holding upon one? Lookout for the Wirebug symbol next to their weapon symbol to decide which one of you may Ride On! for the best outcome!



In this example you can see next to the Lance symbol of Shizuka's the Golden Wirebug symbol. Their rider's silkbinds are coloured in a golden light too.

Before Sunbreak it was already great that you could have several Radial Menues Loadouts ready, to switch between different sets of what is convenient for you at the moment. Now with the possible link between a Radial Menu Loadout and an Item Loadout it has become easier than ever! No more need for the extra step inbetween changing weapons!

While you cannot see much difference between these two images, you can see I have one Radial Menu Loadout for Singleplayer and one for Multiplayer. Each designed to fit my needs better and more comfortable depending whether I go for Singleplayer or Multiplayer hunts.

This feature is especially helpful when you have different Radial Menu Loadouts especially for ranged weapons, where you might want to have certain crafting commands on hotkey which you would have no use for when playing melee weapons e.g.

For myself and for all achievement hunters I have updated the Crown Hunting Guide of mine with the latest known rates, including now all Sunbreak monsters! Happy Hunting!

You know the drill, therefore you only get hints here.
One essential NPC for the award will appear after you finished a specific MR4 Urgent Quest.
