The stuff you need.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, this gl build consists of:
Passionate Headdress α+ -------------------- Marathon runner lvl. III
Passionate Body α+ -------------------------- Master Gatherer & Carving Pro
Rose Arms α+ -------------------------------- Tool Specialist lvl. III
Passionate Belt α+ --------------------------- Botanist lvl. IV
Passionate Leggings α+ ---------------------- Geologist lvl. III
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is what we're left with:

Personally, I would recommend filling up the decoration slots with Paralysis resistance and Intimidator jewels. Fill other slots with whatever you want.
How to obtain "the stuff you need" or "how do I have the drip".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, you need to have:
Sizzling Spice Ticket x4
Monster Solidbone x4
Large Kulu-Ya-Ku Plume x2
60000 Z
----------------------------------------------------
Secondly, gather/craft resources needed:
To get the Sizzling Spice Ticket x4:
You can meld 3 any other fest tickets into 1 Sizzling Spice Ticket.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get the Monster Solidbone x4:
They usually drop as a reward for MR 4 optional quests.
In my opinion, Tundra Troublemaker is a way to go. Very EZ.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get the Large Kulu-Ya-Ku Plume x2:
Break Kulu-Ya-Ku foreleags.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get 60000 Z:
Cmon, who doesn't have 60000 Z in their pocket?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional stuff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To optimize your farm use custom brew:
Felyne Exchanger - increases Research Points gained in the end by 20%.
Felyne Harvester - reduces node respawn time.
Also don't forget to use your Gourmet Voucher to get the skills :)


!!!--------------------------------------VERY IMPORTANT-----------------------------------------!!!
Since you have Geologist lvl. III you're able to mine each node 4 times instead of 3 but there's a catch:
When both ore & bone node level are at red level, your chances of getting Crystalized Elder Dragon Bone and Dragonvein Coal Chunk are greatly increased. So what do you do to keep the nodes at red level? It's very simple:
For ore nodes always mine 3 out of 4 to prevent getting experience and level resetting to yellow level.
!!!------------REMEMBER MAX IS 5------------!!!
For bone nodes on the other hand, Crystalized Elder Dragon Bone don't count towards the limit as they're separate items (give points and aren't used in crafting) from regular drops.
For example: you mined 2 regular bones and a Crystalized Elder Dragon Bone, so that's 3 out of 4, right? Wrong. It's 2 out of 4 for regular bones AND 3 out of 5 FOR ALL GATHERED MATERIALS FROM THE SAME BONE NODE.
Example I: 2 regular bones and 2 Crystalized Elder Dragon Bones that's 4/5 for overall and 2/4 for regular drops.
Example II: 3 regular bones and 1 Crystalized Elder Dragon Bones that's 4/5 for overall and 3/4 for regular drops.
Example III: 0 regular bones and 4 Crystalized Elder Dragon Bones that's 4/5 for overall and 0/4 for regular drops.
If you collect 5/5 for overall node drops or 4/4 bone drops you will get bone node experience and can say goodbye for good drops for some time.
!!!------------------------------------REMEMBER MAX IS 5------------------------------------!!!
The optimal route and spawn info.
Practical results and theoretical.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In practice:
n - amount I gathered, +n - amount Palico gathered, RP - research points, Coal - gathered Dragonvein Coal Chunks, Crystal - gathered Crystalized Elder Dragon Bones.
|---Time---|---Coal---|---Crystal---|---RP---|
|1: 7:40 --- 8+1 ------ 11 ----------- 10500 x 1.2 = 12600
|2: 8:05 --- 9+3 ------ 9 ------------ 8400 x 1.2 = 10080
|3: 6:55 --- 7 --------- 3 ------------ 2100 x 1.2 = 2520
|4: 7:30 --- 5+1 ------ 7 ------------ 5600 x 1.2 = 6720
|5: 6:53 --- 6+2 ------ 4 ------------ 2800 x 1.2 = 3360
|6: 7:38 --- 6+1 ------ 9 ------------ 7700 x 1.2 = 9240
|7: 8:04 --- 10+1 ---- 7 ------------ 8400 x 1.2 = 10080
|8: 7:16 --- 7+2 ------ 8 ------------ 6300 x 1.2 = 7560
|9: 7:29 --- 7 --------- 8 ------------ 7000 x 1.2 = 8400
|10: 7:25--- 8 -------- 4 ------------ 4900 x 1.2 = 5880
On average a single run lasts: 7:49
Average Research Points ------- per run: 7644
Average Dragonvein Coal Chunk per run: 8.4 ≈ 8
The amount of points I got for Crystalized Elder Dragon Bone differs from what I got at the end so I assume Palico gathers them too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In theory:
Runs per hour: 8
Research Points ------- per 1 hour: 61152
Dragonvein Coal Chunk per 1 hour: 67

Conclusion.
That's my first guide so it might be bit barebones and lack information in certain places. I hope you'll find it at least somewhat useful. Remember to be positive and help other hunters :)

Dude this is a great little guide, perfect for an introduction for people who just want to get in and not waste their time while learning the rest of the guiding lands.
