Monster Hunter 3 Hunting Exchange/Resource Guide

And for our third entry during our big update day, here's the Moga Forest Hunting Exchange/Resource Shed Guide.

This is a guide for items you get from the Resource Shed that's operated by the village elder's son. That would be the dude standing high up on that platform overlooking all the village peons beneath him. You know in Japan, there's a saying that idiots like high places. I guess that makes him the village idiot. Hey, that's shorter than village elder's son! Let's just go with that shall we?

Anywho, the village idiot actually gives you items and hunting points in exchange for the monsters that you take down at Moga Forest during a non-guild run. You know what they say about a fool and his gold. Here's the list of items and points you can get by monster. The （☆） symbol indicates rarity. Many of these items are also new to Monster Hunter 3 so I don't know their official English name yet. (I'll update monster and item names once they're released.)
