Currently in 8-star High Rank quests in offline mode and me and my buddy are on 7-star High Rank quests in online co-op. Things are definitely starting to get a little tougher. The aforementioned Pink Rathian was a pain in the ass, hell, I even had a bit of trouble with Baleful Gigginox (who I have dubbed "Gigawatt Gigginox"). Also finally got to fight this game's title monster, Brachydios. First time I failed cause I wasn't really ready for how aggressive he gets when enraged, but upon my second try I succeeded and have been able to beat him with no problems ever since. Unfortunately one of my current quests is the Jhen Mohran one and I cannot be more reluctant to do it. I remember fighting him in Tri online, and it took me and my friend about 3 days to finally get to a point where we could beat him. It was definitely a spike in difficulty for us, so I'm not looking forward to that.
Starting to work on crafting varying weapons of different elements, so I made the Rathian/Rathalos FIRE Dual Sword set. Luckily I already had 1 of each of their Plates, so the first upgrade was OK, but now the second upgrade requires a Rathian Ruby and Rathalos Ruby. Hunted a number of Rathalos so far, no Rubies, however, now that I'm no longer after his Plates, he seems to be dropping them like candy, the bastard.
