>Best weapon
Whatever you enjoy the most. Speedrunners will throw numbers at you but it doesn't mean shit if x weapon is the best but you hate using x weapon
>Any strategies?
Collect items and try combining shit into new things you can use. When fighting a new monster, take it slow and learn their attack patterns. Learn what your preferred weapons excel at and don't be afraid to switch to better suit a particular monster. Make a lot of weapons so you, like previously mentioned, have alternatives to fall back on in case your preferred method isn't working well. Read the fucking game and listen to NPCs.

>What am I in for?

Pls no
been playing MH since freedom, my advice, do whatever.
you're given one of every weapon from the start so try them all out and see what works for you (my go to is the insect glaive).
and for quest help always have the following.
>mega potion x20
>potion x20
>honey x20 (combine with potion for mega potion)
>whetstone x20
>bbq spit
>hot and/or cold drinks x5 each
>antidote x20
the box at the start should provide any specialized equipment when you need it.
happy hunting.
also fuck all yall, MH4 is the best game in the franchise.
>best weapon
Play around and see what you like and don't like. No point of recommending you things if you end up hating it.
>Any strategies
Get materials first for healing items and equipment, just stuff for potions, meat, drinks and whatever else for status effects. For monsters, learn their moves and how to deal with them. If what you're doing isn't working, be patient and find out why. Change weapons if you have to.
>What am I in for?
A game that requires a long term investment but ultimately satisfying once you get into it.
I'll say right now, if you don't like it after getting to the point where you start fighting actual monstersusually 10-30 hours in, don't force yourself to keep going.
Hit it until it dies. Make a full set of armor and pick a melee weapon.If you're addicted by then, you'll research pro strats and weak spots if you want to get better.
