User blog comment:Lord Loss/Monster Hunter Frontier Season Forward 5/@comment-969093-20121017130637

A small heads up for people wondering what's new in mhfo so far from a player's perspective (me):


 * Odeibatorasu. He starts out as a HR100 Gou monster and has a supremacy event quest (SR300). He has high-raw style'd weapons and his Goushu armor seems to be pretty cool at first sight.


 * They added a Gou Taikun LS which looks brutal.


 * You can cook a stew with your Gooks using a specified amount of monster items and transform them into something else. Some Henshu/Gou Mats transform into a purple herb that can replace Gou-proof + Mats random-stat weapon creation. You can also convert HC Carves into weapon-specified proofs (depends on what you're wielding before cooking) and get some HRP/SRP tickets along with it.


 * There's a new Rank Match quest system which looks like regular competition mode. I know jack about it.


 * They added the effects of food combos so you will always know what you're posting rather than having to learn through harsh experience.


 * They added an new attack power boost for SR users. A new stat written in japanese as Attack Power, which seems to have levels. They increase as your SR does I think. My SR700+ DS and LS got Atk Power Lv35-36 while my SR200-300 stuff only has Lv14-18. Would have to stalk other player's observations on this one for further explanations.

I will look around for other stuff later.
