Once you reach HR 499 or above, you will be able to gain the Book of Secrets from the bottom right corner of your screen. There are Red, Blue, and Yellow books that will depend on the poster and the monster type (brute, crustaceans, piscines, bird wyverns, flying wyverns, or elder dragons) you are hunting. (e.g. Rathalos that you posted gave you Red books, therefore all Flying Wyverns that you post will yield Red books).

SR Weapon Tickets
What are they?
How do I get them?
Do HC quests with your SR weapon.
What are they for?
HC weapons and SR armors...
.........................
HC Weapons? WTF are they???
Blademaster: Sharpness boost
Gunner: +40% Critical bonus
-------------------
SR Armors:
-------------------
These are basically "end-game" armors for each weapon type since they take foreverrrrr to farm~ w
SR Tickets required to (Create Base + Upgrade to F + Upgrade to FX + Max FX):
HR 1~30 SR tix: 20 + 65 + 0 + 0 = 85
HR 31~99 SR tix: 15 + 45 + 135 + 0 = 195
HR 100 SR tix: 10 + 5 + 95 + 165 = 275
HR 100 SR Gou tix: 5 + 0 + 5 + 75 = 85
Thus, if you set goals: (HR 1~30 tix / HR 31~99 tix / HR 100 tix / HR 100 Gou tix)
To make the base for one piece: 20 / 15 / 10 / 5 => 50
To get one piece to F series: 85 / 60 / 20 / 5 => 170
To get one piece to FX series: 85 / 195 / 110 / 10 => 400
To get one piece to max FX series: 85 / 195 / 275 / 85 => 640
Multiply that by 5 for all 5 maxed FX armor pieces:
HR 1~30 SR tix: 425!
HR 31~99 SR tix: 975!
HR 100 SR mob tix: 1375!
HR 100 SR gou tix: 425!
Total SR tickets to be farmed for maxed FX series: 3,200!
In addition to the +30 Weapon Tech, all armors will grant Ultra HGE(+25 Earplugs) innately, without occupying a skill slot.
Listed below are the total skills points that you will get for the whole FX set (just simply divide the total skill points by 5 to find each armor piece's stat) and what each Weapon Tech level does.

Are there any other HC/SR armors out there?
For now, we only have these 11 and this nun looking outfit (the exact same design with all 11 weapon types).
http://blog-imgs-34....10623000097.jpg
This one does not get much skills, having only one slot each piece and can only give the +10 Weapon Tech (+15 pts at the most) skill, but it is pretty easy to max and has a good amount of defense. Here are the skills per weapon type for these full SR armors:
Sns, Lirio Series: +15 Sns Tech, +10 Status Atk, +10 Expert, -10 DS Tech
DS, Fresa Series: +15 DS Tech, +10 Stamina, +10 SharpSwd, -10 Sns Tech
GS, Clavel Series: +15 GS Tech, +10 Focus, +10 Health, -10 LS Tech
LS, Siruela Series: +15 LS Tech, +10 Fasting, +10 Recovery Rate, -10 GS Tech
Hammer, Camelia Series: +15 Hammer Tech, +10 Earplug, +10 Quake, -10 HH Tech
HH, Jacinto Series: +15 HH Tech, +10 Flute Expert, +10 Recovery Rate, -10 Hammer Tech
Lance, Cerezo Series: +15 Lance Tech, +10 Guard, +10 Wind Res, -10 GL Tech
GL, Oliva Series: +15 GL Tech, +10 Gunnery, +10 Quake, -10 Lance Tech
LBG, Laurel Series: +15 LBG Tech, +10 Precision, +10 Loading Speed, -10 Bow Tech
HBG, Coco Series: +15 HBG Tech, +10 Recoil, +10 Combination Rate, -10 LBG Tech
Bow, Granada Series: +15 Bow Tech, +10 Evade, +10 Stamina, -10 HBG Tech
Mats needed to max each armor piece: LR Weapon Tix x5, HR Weapon Tix x3, Large Armor Sphere x1, Ultra Armor Sphere x1, Final Armor Sphere x1
There are also RX and LX armor upgrades (Base > U > R > RX and Base > S > L > LX) in this game. If you do certain Frontier Quests, you can obtain mats for them and you will also need to use a couple of HC carves per armor piece.
Here is the official source of info for them: http://members.mh-fr...lxrx/index.html
There is a rumor of having new HC/SR armors from the latest video report they just did...it is not yet officially announced what it will be. Alternate white SR armors? www

. No no i dont need sr lance armor actually, the only advantage it would be compared to my set would be guard+2 instead of guard +1, and ultra HGE instead of HGE. But with Heavenly Spear skill instead of sharpness +1, gou chame lance becomes useless, and as it's a lance i'm pretty oftenly using, i prefere to keep my set.
