A. INTRODUCTION
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(intduc)./��

My name is Ron(no)maru and I've made a few FAQs before for Monster Hunter 
Freedom on the PSP. To the delight of many (and the despair of some >_>), I'm
back with Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and for one of my favourite parts of the 
game no less: Treasure Hunting!

I know there are quite a few people who aren't really into the treasure
hunting business since clearing it isn't required to unlock other quests, nor 
do you need to do it to unlock all the rare weapons and armours in the game.
Basically you can just mindlessly whack you way through the game without any
problems and there is nothing wrong with that I guess... But for those who 
are looking for just a bit more variation and exploratory challenges, treasure
hunting (also further mentioned as "TH" in this FAQ) may be just the thing for
you!

I've already mentioned the reasons NOT to do Treasure Hunting. Well, there are
a lot of reasons to actually do it though: 
- A lot more variation than normal quests: besides killing the boss monster of
  the map in question you can also search for stuff to help you, carry eggs,
  learn to combine stuff, etc. It basically puts together all the things that
  make this game good into 1 single quest.
- Strategy: you'll need a well-cooked strategy to maximize the amount of
  points you'll get out of a quest. For example what areas will I gather in
  first, will we go after the boss monster together, is it worth wasting time
  by carrying that egg back home or am I better off dropping it and keep 
  searching for other items, etc. When you're on your first TH though, it's 
  best to just explore your surroundings before devising certain tactics.
- Getting to know where all the gather spots can be found early in the game
  in a fun way. Be warned though that 99% of the stuff you find on that spot
  in treasure hunting will not be the same as the items you get on a regular
  quest.
- The monsters in Treasure Hunting quests are really easy to kill since they
  are low on HP and attack power, so it's good practice for the real thing.
- Completing your Guild Card. There are a total of 30 (6x5) rare treasures for
  you to find in the quests.
- Making unique items that can only be combined during TH quests. These items
  give good treasure points, but also help you complete your combining list to
  get the combining sage title and the corresponding decoration on your Guild
  Card.
- Getting rare items: contrary to MHF, you can now actually use some of the 
  items that are unique to TH, like Gold Eggs, which can be used to make the 
  Destiny Jewel (decoration that gives the good luck skill at 10 skill points
  and luck booster skill at 15 skill points).
- Expand Pickaxes!!! These things are much desired by fellow hunters because
  you can usually use them to make more ore (going from Disk stones to 
  Novacrystals and Rare Scarabs which are hard to get at G-rank quests). They
  are much easier to get through TH than through Training Quests as well.
- The choice to play alone or with a friend: this is different from MHF where
  you could only play with 2 people and not alone.
- Earning a a lot of cash thanks to expand pickaxes and the different types of
  eggs you get, which you can sell for a nice sum of money (steel egg=1000z,
  silver egg=10000z, gold egg=20000z). It isn't the cash cow from MHF anymore,
  but still pretty rewarding, especially earlier in the game.

Hopefully you'll have a better understanding of how Treasure Hunting works
thanks to this FAQ and learn to like it as much as I do. 

Enjoy!



______________________________________________________________________________
B. GETTING STARTED
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(getsta)./��

Alright, now that you're (hopefully) convinced of all the nice features 
treasure hunting has to offer, it's time to get you on your way to hunt for 
treasures.

First of all though, there are a few things you need to know about TH'ing:
1) Cannot use items you have in your inventory before starting the quest, so
   it's best to just keep it as empty as possible to have enough space to take
   your rewards.
2) Evidently, only items from inside the quest can be used. This may seem 
   annoying, but it will also allow you not to conserve on items because they
   may be tough or annoying to make.
3) No items from inside the TH-quest will be kept after the quest is over, so
   you might as well use them to the fullest as stated in 2).


----------------
 Useful skills:
----------------
There are a number of skills that will greatly benefit your search for
treasures. These skills can be divided into 2 major categories: Armour skils
and Felyne cat skills. Check the "Armour Skill" and "Felyne Whim Skill" FAQ's
for more information on what they do precisely.
1) Armour skills:
   - Backpacking Expert		- Autotracker		(- Bomber (for rocks))
   - High Speed Gathering	- Runner		(- Throw (for rocks))
   - Gathering+1/+2		- Fishing Expert
   - Spirit's/Divine Whim	- Carving Celebrity

2) Felyne cat skills:
   - Frugality			- Gunpowder		- Exchanger
   - Dismantle low/high		- Combine low/high
   - Strongcat			- Gathering
   - Supercat			- Supercarver


Backpacking Expert is an absolute must, while High Speed Gathering is really
nice to have since you'll waste less time gathering and carving. Carving 
Celebrity and Dismantle are very useful IMO, because you can get multiple tail
carves in MHF2 (contrary to MHF). Frugality or Spirit's/Divine Whim will get
you a long way as well.


----------
 Armours:
----------
You'll need a nice armour to harbour as many useful skills as you can. 

At early levels I recommend this simple armour combo:

 - Estoc/Valhalla (Iron Lance ->Iron Lance+ ->Steel Lance) (+Hardball Jewel)
 - Chain Helm (+Gathering Jewel)
 - Leather Armor
 - Leather Vambraces (+Backpacker Jewel)
 - Hide Belt
 - Green Pants (+Hardball Jewel)

 Skills: High Speed Gathering, Gathering+1, Backpacking Expert, Throw Skill up

 NOTE: A variation to this combo would be to drop the Throw skill and just add
       4 Gathering jewels, so you'll get the Gathering+2 skill. Obviously,
       you'll need 4 Dobiscus, which are pretty rare.


At higher levels I recommend these sets:

 - Any strong weapon with 3 slots (with 3x Gathering jewels)
 - Leather Helm S (for Bullet Limit)/Sword Saint Piercing (for ESP)
 - Leather Armor S
 - Leather Vambraces S
 - Leather Belt S
 - Green Pants S

 Skills: Bullet Limit/ESP (depends on the helm wear), Combine success+5%, High
         Speed Gathering, Gathering+2, Backpacking Expert

 NOTE: If you only want Gathering+1, then you won't need any slots at all, so
       you're free to pick any weapon you want.


 - Any strong weapon with 3 slots (with Backpacker+Grab'n'Dash+Psychic Jewels)
 - Hunter's Helm U (+Psychic+Backpacker Jewels)
 - MelahoaFlowerJacket U (+Backpacker Jewel)
 - MelahoaBranch U (+Psychic+Psychic Jewels)
 - MelahoaSkirt U (+Backpacker+Backpacker Jewels)
 - MelahoaRoots U (+Psychic+Psychic Jewels)

 Skills: Autotracker, Gathering+1, High Speed Gathering, Backpacking Expert


----------
 Weapons:
----------
Lastly, you'll need a strong weapon that kills the boss monster fast, but is 
also capable of destroying rocks fast at the same time. For these reasons 
Lances, Gunlances, Hammers and Hunting Horns are recommended above SnS 
(bounces like hell on rocks), DS (tend to lose sharpness quickly), Great 
Swords (takes a long time to charge) or Long Swords (only cuts through rocks
when the "Spirit Gauge" is used).
Also look for a weapon with at least a nice patch of green sharpness and with
as many slots as possible.

C. STRATEGIES
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(strteg)./��

This game can be played:

- Solo
- Duo: - Cooperatively
       - Competitively


It would be best to play Treasure Hunting with a friend since you'll usually
get twice as many points as you would on your own. It's the only Player Vs. 
Player (PvP) mode included in the game, but looking for treasures in a 
competitive way (like taking all the stuff from the box before your opponent
can, getting more points than your opponent or making sure he gets the least 
points by making him drop his egg/stone/jewel) doesn't do you any good since 
less points means less rewards. Cooperative play is therefore the prefered 
way. You can choose to protect your friend from monsters when he's carrying
something important, pass through certain items like pickaxes and bugnets,
signalling where the dead boss monster lies, etc.


Because I strongly believe thinking through your own strategies to get as many
points as you can, is one of the biggest fun factors, I won't include a 
strategy of my own in this FAQ. However, for those who are interested you can
read up Lunaredge's "Forest/Hills Treasure Hunting FAQ" for MHF which can be 
found here:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/file/928336/42524

It was made for the previous game, but the strategies will still prove very 
useful for beginning Treasure Hunters.

Going for the treasures with the highest point value first, will always be a
good idea though of course.




______________________________________________________________________________
D. RARE TREASURES
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(rartre)./��

In this section you will find an overview of all the treasures that appear on
your guild card. These are called "rare treasures" because only items with a
rarity of above 6, will appear on your card. There will be a brief mention of
which area you can find them in. For more detailed locations, check section E
"Gather Spots".

I've also included an item availability scale, namely "common", "uncommon" and
"rare". "Common" will roughly translate to a chance above 40%, "uncommon" 
between 10-40% and "rare" between 1-10% chance. Not that it matters much
though, just keep searching for spots or carving the tail until you got it.
I won't go through the tediousness of writing down how many times I got which
item,since it has cost me enough trouble already to get this much information
since it was made entirely from scratch. So unless someone can give me a valid
website with the percentages on Treasure Hunting items, you'll just have to do
with this.

E. GATHER SPOTS
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(intduc)./��

These gather spots are based on Scooty-Puff's excellent maps that can be found
in the "FAQ's & Guides" Section of MHF2. It is therefore strongly advised to 
have those maps around so that you can track down each individual gather spot 
with ease. There are a few spots (3 at most) that I could not locate (could be
my fault) and even a few areas that I found but weren't on the maps (not my 
fault). We all make mistakes, so if you found a spot that isn't charted by me,
email me the exact location or better yet: send me a picture of it so I can
find it more easily.

I also won't pretend to state that ALL of the possible items that can be found
are listed in here. However, the most important (i.e. the rare treasures) ones
are all charted, which is what matters most after all.

A big thanks goes to my Kai buddy Vermins with whom I enlisted a large portion
of the items that can be gathered at each individual spot.

G. REWARDS
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(rewrds)./��

This is a non-exhaustive overview of the items that you will receive in the
rewards based on your score at the end of the quest. It's non-exhaustive,
which means that the list doesn't include all of the items you can receive. It
should merely be used as a guideline for commonly given rewards, so if you'd 
want a Max Potion, you'd have to do a Jungle Treasure Hunt.

Also, the quantity&quality of your rewards depends greatly on the amount of
treasure points you've been able to gather during the quest. The other factor
would be luck, contrary to MHF, where the rewards of both players were always
the same.

H. TIPS&TRICKS
����������������������������������������������������������������\.(tiptrc)./��

- You need at least 1 slot free in your inventory to carry an egg/ stone. 
  Otherwise that item will be lost when you pick it up since you'll get the 
  "Inventory Full" message.
- Always make sure you use your rations/ juices first before picking up an 
  egg/stone.
- Re-enter an area if you don't see any fish that satisfy your needs. The type
  of fish that spawn will be reset.
- Deliver stuff that's worth at least 2000 points to make the quest succeed.
  By doing so, you'll also get another 20 seconds after the quest is over to 
  deliver your remaining items. It may not sound like much, but it can be 
  enough to deliver an egg/stone/jewel just in time or farcast back home when
  you haven't paid attention to the time that was left.
- The number of Pokke points you'll receive, depends on the final Treasure 
  Hunting score you achieved, which is then divided by 20.
- Kicking is a better way of destroying a rock when you're using SnS or Long
  Swords since you do just as many hits and damage in about the same time.
- The Wyvern's Fire shot from a gunlance destroys a small rock in one blow.
- When you're suddenly confronted with a rock and your weapon has no sharpness
  left and you have no bombs in your inventory, you can also depend on the 
  monsters in the area where the rock is. Simply stand in front of the rock 
  (better yet: keep kicking it) and wait until the monsters hit the rock along
  with you. They'll do a much faster job than you can. For example a Giaprey 
  can destroy a rock with about 6-7 hits.
- When using the "Taunt" Gesture, you'll destroy a large rock in 120 hits. A
  small rock will be destroyed in 80 hits. Kicks tend to do it in less hits,
  but constantly have to hit the "Select" button, which isn't any fun. With
  the Taunt gesture, you do other stuff in the meantime like going to the 
  bathroom or surf "teh Intrawebz". Hammers, Lances and Gunlances are still
  the best way to destroy rocks though, so remember that.
