1.) Paintballs.
Use them for EVERY hunt. Never have less than 5 on your person in a boss fight. You will be glad you did. Mobs will sometimes go rest for a bit...find em and it's over.

2.) STOCKPILE
Do NOT sell ANYTHING that you get from your kills. Bones, hides... ANYTHING. You will need all these items to build/upgrade your gear.

3.) D - D - DEFENCE
Whether you're rolling, blocking, or dodging. Defense will be the difference between success and failure.

4.) Know your enemy!
Finding out your enemy's weak spots/elements will DRASTICALLY reduce fight length.

5.) FARM
FARM FARM FARM. You should never take a trip to Pokke without clearing your farm and depositing items in your box. Upgrade it as often as possible.
