Been trying to unlock the Augments and get the Rocksteady Mantle today by doing all the Optional quests I have in my log, but still nothing has popped. I've seen a few Optional quests which I've complete have a flashing exclamation point next to them, anyone know what that means (it goes away once I highlight the quest).

I think there is one more step because I have done all the optionals available and hit HR 48 and still no new ones popped up. I think I need to do expeditions/investigations and get a tempered to spawn first.

You've got the loop right, but there is really much more to the game than that. Using different weapons changes the gameplay quite a lot, and there are a lot of mechanics under the surface that, when you toy with, provide a long list of min-maxing potential. Exploring the zones and hunting is also another fun dimension. Yes, you ultimately get used to the zones, but they are also layered and complex and reveal interesting secrets over time.
I personally feel like this is a game with a lot of hidden or incidental depth that you can access to further enjoy the game or extend your playtime.
I've also never played a MH before and my main gaming bro HATED this game during beta and refused to play. I took a winger on getting it and I've been thoroughly pleased.
Personally, if you like (a) killing monsters, (b) exploring, (c) crafting shit and (d) playing online co-op with randoms or friends - well, the game is worth it.

Patch notes for the lazy ones.
Release Date
PlayStation®4: February 9, 2018 (UTC)
Xbox One: February 9, 2018 (UTC)
Required Space
PlayStation®4: Approximately 82 MB
Xbox One: See system for details.
- Downloading this update will also apply all previous updates for players who are updating the game for the first time. (PS4: About 930 MB of space required; Xbox One: See system for details.)
Major Changes
PlayStation®4
- Fixed an issue where the error message "Failed to retrieve squad information. Please wait and try again." would appear and squad features would not be usable. However, as a result of this fix, players who were affected by this bug will have all of their squad data reset. Additionally, players in squads whose squad leaders have their data reset will also see any affiliated data disappear the next time they log in. We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience, and ask that you reform squads or reinvite players whose data are lost.
- Fixed an issue where, rarely, uninvited non-squad members could join a Squad Online Session, or squad members could not join one of their own. Squad Online Sessions can still be joined by players outside of the squad via friend invite or Online Session ID search.
- Fixed an issue where some players could not claim the item pack "5 Million Celebration Item Pack". The availability for this item pack has been extended to February 22, 23:59 (UTC).
- Fixed an issue where, under certain conditions, decorations would be lost.
- Fixed an issue that occurred when selecting items with the "Sell Items" option (from the item box inside base camp tents) by hiding the decorations tab.
- General changes were made to bowgun ammo.
Increased the power of Normal Ammo (1, 2, 3), Pierce Ammo (1, 2, 3), and all elemental ammo (except Dragon Ammo).
Decreased the power of Slicing Ammo, and reduced the effect it has when hitting other players. - Reduced the maximum number of Slashberries you can hold in your item pouch from 60 to 30.
Players can still use any remaining extra Slashberries if they currently have more than 30 in their item pouch. - Readjusted the Elderseal calculation for dragon pods.
- Fixed an issue where information on endemic life would disappear from the Wildlife Map when moving about the field.
- Fixed an issue where the assignment "Flying Sparks: Tobi-Kadachi" would not appear on the quest board after departing on a different quest in the middle of speaking with the Chief Botanist just before the quest is first assigned.
- Fixed a rare bug that would cause players to lose control of their characters when completing a quest with certain start menu sub-menus open.
The update will also include various minor bug fixes.

You meld gems using certain tickets you get for doing weekly quests and other optional quests. If you go to the guy where you manage investigations, and look at the limited time bounties, those are the rewards you need. I think they are called Wyverian Tickets. The top stuff needs the gold ticket.

So I do need a water weapon.
I'm only going t min max for my hammer. Everything else is just going to be for variety. But I will spread it out across the spectrum to ensure I have something for most situations. I crafted the Teostra badass looking HBG today.
Xeno is absolute AIDS to do with the hammer. I can't stand that fight using the hammer. But its ok with the bow or HBG. For example. Might be moving back to bow for the ranged option as I am shit with the HBG at the moment too.

Once I finish one last Kirin HR tonight Im done and going to work on Dual Blades for most of tonight. Hopefully we farm some Theostra and Kushala for those fire and ice daggers.
Elements are a PITA though for SnS and DB because you need level 3 fire / ice attack etc in order to min max. I already have Fire and Thunder Attack decorations but also need to grind the others out.
