The little piggy shows up a bit later, after you've completed the one-star quests provided by the village elder if I remember correctly. (Total of 8 quests plus 1 urgent?)
The game is pretty cool. I haven't played MH on the PS2 but heard about MHF from a friend and just decided to get it. Finding materials and upgrading your armor and weapons is pretty interesting, thanks to the many different combinations you can make. You can also categorize different equipment sets for different needs. The best is, of course, the ad-hoc mode. Nothing beats having 2 or 3 friends over and going on a quest together. 4 hunters beating up a poor Yian Kut-ku? Priceless....
At the moment, I'm alternating between the
Bonespike+ (sns) and the
Iron Katana "Grace" (gs). Still trying to collect enough machalite ores and earth crystals to upgrade to an
Iron Katana "Gospel". The green edge to the sword's sharpness should be pretty handy against wyverns. For the sns, may decide to upgrade to the
Corona since it comes with the fire attribute.
What's everyone else using?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
