It's interesting how many monster carves there are in MHF1 that don't exist in Unite, like Azure/Silver Rathalos Plates and Rubies. It's probably out of mercy that they cut them out of later games, as I am anticipating an irritating time farming for them... Also, I just completed the repel Yian Garuga quest. It was quite possibly the most frustrating quest I've ever done (barring egg-carrying quests). Until now, I haven't found the boss monsters themselves to be much more difficult (the difficulty coming from the millions of minions), and most died in about 8 minutes at the most when using PBA or Deathprize, but Garuga took absolutely ages, even when I spammed LBBs and pitfalls. Still, I got a plate from my first run, so I'm happy (not sure how rare they are though, but I'm pleased nonetheless). Also, relating to Garuga, I always thought that it was just a myth that after a certain number of times fighting Village Garuga, he becomes G-Class (similarly to the "If you ledge Alatreon, you won't get Skypiercers", or the "If you break Jinouga's horns when he's in rage, there's a 100% chance of getting a plate"), but this one actually seems to be true.
