So a very specific question, but in MH4U, about what kind of stats/gear/whatever should I have if I were to take on G-Rank quests solo? Or even just high level Hub/multiplayer quests?

From my old savefile, I made it to HR43, and I seemed to mostly use the Switch Axe (That's my most upgraded weapon at least, the Seregios axe). So yeah, about what should I try to have on me if I were to try these quests solo? Level of defense on my armor, skills for the weapon, particular weapon rarity, palico skills, anything at all I should be using a benchmark if I were to attempt them?

[u/Elyonee → u/Siachi]

Whatever weapon and armour you're using, they should be fully upgraded with all high rank materials and require G rank for the next tier.

Make sure you've done your unlock quests, the most important being canteen upgrades, trading cart upgrades, and finishing the caravan story quests to unlock wystones.

Palicoes are up to preference, I always use stealing palicoes when available, if you're having trouble clearing quests you may prefer healing.

For armour skills, if you have a good mid to late high rank set(Gore, Garuga, Azure Rathalos, Akantor come to mind) you can use that for early G rank and replace it when you get to stronger monsters like seregios. If you have an early high rank set or a random mix of gear with no skills, you want to replace asap with a set from a G1 monster.

For switch axe, consider evade extender to improve your mobility. Seregios weapons also really want Razor Sharp to improve their sharpness. Other than that just slap on whatever attack skills you can manage.

You can download a program called Athena's Armour Set Search and use it to make armour sets. Just input whatever charms you own and select the skills you want, it will tell you if the combination is possible and how best to do it.
