You can't get them from Kirin, so I'd go for the next best thing. Go for something that you can take down reliably and efficiently ie not waiting for gaoren to get to the last area. It's really personal preference, but if you want the drop rates you can get them on the wiki.
I recommend you to hunt chameleos, then when you have enough for full chameleos armor kick daora bones out of his tail/ass with the lao shang long sword >u<
Well it's such a HD game that I think it would be better on the iPad. I haven't played it on an iPhone but I think you would benefit from the extra battery of an iPad.
Definitely personal preference. I prefer smaller since it's more portable and buttons are in easier reach. Of course if you have a controller that changes things. This game also has amazing graphics for mobie title so I can see why you'd enjoy playing it on a bigger screen.
Price drop! I'm sure it's a long shot but if this means MH4 (recently released on the 3DS) is heading to ios.......... ....productivity will be dead.
about the wifi coop, does it have to play with friends or does the game have a server for you to find teamate randomly??
Is there still no iCloud sync for this game? That terrifies me. I finally have a device that supports it (I'm poor af) AND its on sale (hence I hoard my iTunes cash lol) but I could pick up banner saga. This is a game I have always wanted to play but I am not about to poor hundreds of hours into a game and then be stuck in one device or have this phone crash out and lose it all. Any advice? That disclaimer makes me soooo hesitate :/
I recommend jail breaking and having the option to back up all your game save files. That's what I've done with my MH app. I've put in over 130 hours, so I don't want to lose a thing! Don't know if there is the ability to access that through iTunes or another third party app without jail breaking.
You don't need jailbreak to backup save files. iTunes backups already save all save files of all installed games and apps. iFunbox and iExplorer can also be used for this (go to the folder of the app and backup the Documents folder). You can play either with random people or create a room and share the room's number with your friend so he can join you.
This is tempting. I haven't played Freedom Unit since the PSP days, and I am currently playing MH4. But I carry my phone around more than my 3DS...
