I haven't done ala that many times, but I've never been with a group that's broken both horns. Every run I've done has had at least one sleep user, and I'd say 4, maybe 5 sleeps. It hurts when I see people placing regular LBB on the second sleep ;w;
If you haven't gotten a Skypiercer from (let's take a conservative estimate) of even 15 runs then you're pretty unlucky. The drop rate is 14%? My memory is a little fuzzy.
Anyway who needs Skypiercers, tails on the other hand urgh. Need 6 more (for now)

i've been playing offline using bowguns, haven't collected a tail in forever because i can't be bothered using slicing shots lol. I'll collect tails when i play online more.
who wants to help me farm HR so i can do some high rank stuff?

I have 1 skypiercer out of ~6 horn breaks. Which is about what is expected (15% drop). I want the ura rubies so I can sleep bomb with a bowgun, rather than my crappy morpheus knife.
Most runs we did we broke both horns after two bombs (one run, one of the SnS'ers got stuck in Ala's legs). But then again this was with people who weren't ********, so it was 8 LBB+ with bomb boost each time. I think a horn breaks every second stagger, so you need 2800 damage to break both horns, which is 16 LBB+ with bombardier.
Everyone should bring mats for 12 LBB+ (unless you have pyro), as well as sleep S and sleepyfish (including blademasters).
If you want tails, you can use 2-3 gunners, 0-1 morpheus knife, and 1 GS (jho is probably the best). Sleep ala, wake it with the GS on its tail, and a gunner should deto before Ala's head is out of the way. You lose the double damage on one bomb, but do a crapload to Ala's tail, and you should get more damage overall. Wake it 4 times with a fully charged slice on its tail and the tail should come off. If you don't break the horns in 2 bombs, then you can finish them off with crag S/wyvernfire/bounce bomb+. Alternatively someone with tenebra D might be able to take it off as well, especially if you're parabombing once or twice (tenebra user just focuses the tail rather than bombs).
On a separate note, slicing shot is really weak. I wouldn't bother trying to take off a tail solo with a bowgun.

Finished my Vangis set. I feel like a real HR 63 finally!
Just now trying to get 3 Conqueror's Seals to finish my Anguish (P). I don't use GS, but I have a Crit Draw+7 2 Slot Talisman and I might as well make use of it. Who can say no to Crit Draw, Sharpness+1, Attack Up (L), and a GS that seems to be the best choice for absolutely everything? I don't see Vangis being that useful for Lance, except against Jhen and other Noob crap anyway. Might as well make use of it!

Jealous of your charm. Best I've found is guard +6 2 socket.
But hammers > GS anyway (and yeah; since elemental is mostly irrelevant, the only hammers I have are iron impact and vangis. Similarly the only GS I'm planning on is vangis). So there. And everything > bloody LS users who spam R and trip you over repeatedly.
Uragaan still hasn't dropped me any rubies.

So Toki and myself have been hunting Diablos for over 6 hours now, and not one of us has seen a Stout Horn. What are the odds e-e
Might have to start breaking horns and ending via sub soon.

Got an ura ruby finally. Now I just need another...
Also Rad: Assuming each run took 20 minutes, and that you broke the horns each run, 4.97%

I needed a Stout Horn for a Crit Draw +3 jewel. I want another one to finish my Diablos+ armour, but it's not important. You need 2 Stout Horn each for the Diablos GS and the Diablos Lance but both are crap, you need 1 Stout Horn each for the Diablos Gunner and Blademaster Armour, and you need 4 Stout Horn to make the two Jhen Moran Switch Axes... although the high affinity one is outclassed by the high attack power one.
So, you need 10 Stout Horn all up to get everything, plus an additional Stout Horn for every +3 Crit Draw jewel you plan to make.
YAY pointless post

Diablos GS is one of the better GS's there is (with crit draw). Which is irrelevant since the devil GS is clearly the best at everything, but hey.
Rad
Smash Ace
Diablos weapons (Lance and GS) are always good but never the best so they suck.

So I just took double diablos and got 2 stout horns out of it. AND a wyvern stone.

wrararagh god **** it's hard to find some non-******** people to sleep bomb alatreon with.
Seriously. I can see from your armour and skills that you've got 5 sockets you're not doing anything productive with (assuming they're not wearing bone+/alloy/rathian/lagi+/dober with no talisman. Using dancing flames for a weapon. Hoping to go on an alatreon run. I saw this today...) SO GEM IN BOMBARDIER FFS. Then we start the run, and everyone else plonks down BBL, while I'm the only person putting down BBL+. So the run takes 30 mins, and I use a stupid amount of ammo because everyone else is incapable of doing any meaningful amount of damage.
So yeah. I need a skypiercer and 2 ala tails for a full suit of ala armour. I don't even want to think about some of the ala weapons that need 3 skypiercers. Also the last upgrade for blizzard cannon frame is ridiculous. 6 wyvern stones, really?
On another note, rage match (2 deviljho in the land arena) is up tomorrow. Anyone up for it?

Yes, AU smash represent! I have been looking forward to Dual Jho for ages!
I know Toki was interested too, but I believe he can go on the American server so he might be bored of it by now.
HR 78, just got my Alatreon Gleam yay. I realise it's probably the easiest to get after the hammer but still, those tails took ages.
^_^

Rad knows me too well. Ive only tried it a few times though, been doing other stuff
Im up for some Jho run today, but from my experience.... omg we have to kill the 1st Jho in under 5min or we're screwed.
So id recommand bringing 4 traps, bombs and meats. Place your trap infront of the nator with bombs if you can and try to get him with the nator. The 2nd Jho that appears after 5min is pretty huge, the Papajho
Ill try to play today at....6~9pm ish tonight, im just busy with alot of stuff recently >.>

still only HR 22.
Atleast I'm not ******** though. I'm a bowgunner, use bowgun on every battle. So much more fun than any other weapon. Except for soloing barioth... That isn't fun. Lol.

My name is Rad, I don't know my ID sorry.
I can't say I'll be on right away (ie in 6 minutes), but I'll be on before nine. I might try double jho with Vangis (Sharpness +1 / Attack Up (M) / Autotracker / Guard+1) despite the -20 Dragon.
I could also go for Sharpness +1 / Attack Up (M) / Autotracker / Trapmaster / Bombardier I think... but no Guard+ against Jho is sure to make me sad. I haven't tried him with just Guard+1 yet, but I figure the other skills make it sufficient.
Hey, if we can't do it at first, we can try Pitfall pwnting the first Jho. *rummages for link you've all seen*

Jhen Event Quest is up.
Got all of the Jhen Cannon parts, made the Helios+ Mail, and almost have enough Scale+ left to make all of Yamato+ as well.
Already had Damascus.
It's been a productive evening! Shame there are no other Events up right now.
That Deep Dragongem for the Jhen Cannon Barrel is annoying. Now I have to farm Ceadeus even more e-e.
With Vangis and Alatreon Gleam that still takes 20 minutes :/
EDIT: Oh, and you can buy Thunderbugs, Wyvern Claws, Sleepyfish, and MORE cheaply from the pint sized peddler at this second. Stock up while you can. 999 Sleepyfish ftw.

Captain tool and the pint-sized peddler have their full stock out for half price during the whole jhen event. Plus the trady post lady has 3 pages worth of trades rather than 2.
It's also a good time to stock up on any elemental shots/pierce/normal/bone husk S.
Though I already have ~2k bone husk S, so I don't really need any more.
EDIT: And I have more earth dragongems than I know what to do with. Seriously.
