What is a Halk?

[img]http://img.mh-frontier.jp/manual/mez/halk/img/top.jpg[/img]

Halks are flying companions that accompanies you in quests. You can help them grow by training, feeding, and taking them in quests.

 

Where is My Holk?

You enter it in your My Series areas, just select it before entering.

-------------------------

My Holk Options:

-------------------------

Speak to the Holk instructor. He will give you the following options:

[img]http://img.mh-frontier.jp/manual/mez/halk/sw/img/05.jpg[/img]

-------------------------

1st Option, Halk Status: You can see your Halk's stats here, along with its elemental/status atck levels, it reads as follows:

Pg 1: Level, Elemental Attack, Status Attack, Fullness Level, Loyalty, Health, Attack, Defense, Intelligence, Equipped Book of Learning skills

[img]http://img.mh-frontier.jp/manual/mez/halk/sw/img/06.jpg[/img]

Pg 2: Elemental Attack Levels - None, Fire, Water, Ice, Thunder, Dragon; Status Attack Levels - Poison, Paralysis, Sleep

-------------------------

2nd Option, Training Focus: You can assign your Halk on a training focus, where the Halk will gain more pts on that stat after each quest.

The Following training options are as follows: Health, Attack, Defense, Intelligence, None (I assume it raises more Loyalty points).

3rd Option, Rename Halk: You can rename your Halk anytime.

-------------------------

4th Option, Book of Learning Settings: You can equip up to 2 book abilities for your Halks. The first option is to equip and the other option is to unequip a skill.

[img]http://img.mh-frontier.jp/manual/mez/halk/sw/img/09.jpg[/img]

To obtain these books (along with ホルク羽根 Halk Feathers) on the end of the quest your Halk will fly down to drop something shiny with a recognizable aura like [url="http://blog-imgs-34.fc2.com/m/h/s/mhsouga/2080634.jpg"]this[/url]. A known fact is that your Halk must be present at the end and probably done a significant amount of damage/amount of hits to the monster during the quest for it to drop more often. Besides that, it is quite random. You cannot learn the same skill more than once, but your Halk can still drop that same skill again rendering it a useless drop.

-------------------------

5th Option, Halk Tutorial: If you can understand this or the site, you don't need to read this crap! w

-------------------------

Here are what each Halk will look like, depending on their Element:

Thunder / Basic / Fire

Ice / Dragon / Water

-------------------------

Feeding your Halk:

-Call it at the rock by pressing confirm at it.

-It will give you a list choice of items it can eat, HR 1~30, 31~99, 100~, or just simply list All(すべて) of them.

-These items are also organized by monster species material, others, or simply list all with the last option again.

-While you highlight the Halk edible items, you can see its effect even before feeding it on the bottom right message! it reads as follows:

None: +x, Fire: +x, Water: +x, Ice: +x, Thunder: +x, Dragon: +x,

Poison: +x, Paralyze: +x, Sleep: +x Fullness Value: +xx

-Once your Halk reaches 100 points on an element, he will evolve to that Halk! But in turn, all other points on any other elements resets to 0. The same applies to the other 2 status attributes once you reach one to 100.

 

Tips when feeding your Halk:

-I suggest giving your Halks +20 pts of fullness value instead of the common +30 ones so you can feed it more times.

-Adding it up, you can feed a Halk around 3 to 5 times per day (every 24 hours, starting at 0:00 JST, assuming his Fullness Level drops to 0 by that time)

This is the list of items with +20 fullness level (As you can see, it is harder to get water and ice halks. The same goes for para and sleep status): [url="http://blog-imgs-34.fc2.com/m/h/s/mhsouga/2011y10m01d_021812218.jpg"]Here![/url]

-The more you focus on one element, the faster it will evolve (e.g. Feeding it a +6 xxx element item boost per serving).

 

Side note: At the same time of being able to feed your Halk again (0 JST), you can get a shiny item called 元気のみなもと　「Full Energy Source」 from My Halk. This will significantly reduce the damage taken by you in the whole duration of the quest (will not wear off after dying). This item can only be used once a day (1 Quest Clear, abandoning the quest will NOT count as a use), and be obtained once a day. The cooldown wears off at 0 JST (this means your quest must be over before 0 JST to use it the next day, I tested this exceeding 0 JST during the quest...w). Therefore it becomes useless if you do not use one a day. Otherwise, it can be made into a Mega Nutrient or a Mega Juice with the P combination old man with some other material.

I can't wait that long! I want my evolved Halk now!!!

-By Collecting 3 Gook junks, you can obtain やせやせフィード which gives your Halk -30 Fullness level

-To collect Gook junk, check the Gook Guide: http://forums.minegarde.com/topic/4372-the-gook-guide/

...Here is a ferias link for you as well~ =]

http://homepage2.nifty.com/ferias/sozai/sozai.htm?1272

...and a quick guide:

=>First, you need a gook~ =]

=>Talk to the gook caretaker cat, and choose the first option. By doing so, the Guildmaster in the square can let you post gook map gathering quests.

=>You will sometime see a huge gook in the quest which drops junk 100% the time. Otherwise it is 4% from all the gathering spots. Each map only have 3 gathering spots, and is easily classified where the gooks are gathering in quest.

=>Best places to farm:

-Jungle [Areas: 1 > 2 (gather in the middle) > 5 (gather the mushrooms near the cave entrance) > 6 (possible big gook, gather near the deeper cave entrance) > 8 > 2; just gathering]

-Sea of Trees (mining only)[Areas: 6 > 3 (mine by the vine) > 7 (big gook, mine by the gooks) > 8 > 2 (mine where the gooks are)].

=>I recommend bringing Gather +2 and Fast Gather sets.

=>After clearing a map quest, you need to talk to the gook caretaker cat again to activate more Map gathering gook quests for the Guildmaster to post.

 

How to turn off your Halk? Go to the menu options, 3rd page, the 7th option will toggle it ON/OFF.

 

There are 本気飲料 Serious Drinks that will need 3 different Halk feathers (2 choices of 3 for each drink)! You can create these drinks from the combination stand using Guild Points. These are cool that they make your left arm glows for 5 minutes (7.5 minutes with Everlasting skill).

[img]http://blog-imgs-34.fc2.com/m/h/s/mhsouga/013_20110917053040.jpg[/img]

 

Effects of Serious Drinks:

Fire / Thunder / Dragon / Ice / Water Serious Drink - x1.1 Element attack up of that element only (depending on your weapon/elem stone), for 5 minutes.

Critical (Raw) Serious Drink - +30% Critical for 5 minutes.

 

You can ask someone to dupe Halk feathers (Rare 3!) for you (instead of switching a lot and farming a lot with different Halk elements), but you can only dupe 3 at a time (Capcom made it so to prevent mass duping...lol ><)

 

-------------------------

Leveling Up your Halk:

This is simple. Just make your Halk reach its maximum point value with all 5 stats to get to the next level (255 is the Cap for Lvl 1, and 510 is the cap for Lvl 2). The Lvl 3 cap is unknown.
