Uh, lol no. You don't EVER sell your weapons. EVER. You don't just keep one. You upgrade every weapon you get TO THE MAX and horde 'em. You never know what monster you'll fight, and the more weapons you have, especially with Elemental and Abnormal Status additions, the bigger advantage you will have.
First off, before you fight the Qurupeco, make sure you have a weapon with Green Sharpness. Starting with Qurupecoes, monsters will deflect all weapons of Yellow sharpness and under. Even if your weapon has Green Sharpness, if it dips to yellow, it'll deflect. If you're a Blademaster, bring LOTS of Whetstones.
I recommend getting a Sword and Shield or Lance weapons so that you can guard (unless Great Swords block, I dunno, never use them). If you're not good at dodging, then start blocking. Be sure to have lots of Stamina for that.
There aren't a lot of armor with Fire Resistance, so get food that increases your Fire Resistence. Bring Potions, Mega Potions (Potion + Honey), Whetstones, and.....one...more I forgot. Well-Done Steak. When it summons the Great Jaggi, don't panic. Keep attacking, but maintain your distance from it.
