MH4U Armor Set Compilation

Subject: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Thu Apr 23, 2015 3:14 pm

We already have a thread for requesting an armor set, but we have none where there are a bunch of compiled armor sets.

So here it is. The way this will work is we will have armor sets for each weapon type, and those will be sub-divided into low rank, high rank and g-rank.

To make things easier for me (since I'm the one that will have to compile all of the sets that people post), I'd ask that you format your armor set so it looks like this:

Skills: asdf, asdf, asdf, asdf, asdf (This will be copied and pasted as the header for the spoiler)

Weapon: 000 (_____ Jewel 1-3)
Head: -name of head piece- (_____ Jewel 1-3)
Chest: -name of chest piece- (_____ Jewel 1-3)
Arms: -name of arm piece- (_____ Jewel 1-3)
Waist: -name of waist piece- (_____ Jewel 1-3)
Legs: -name of leg piece- (_____ Jewel 1-3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Talisman: Skill 1, Skill 2, 000 (_____ Jewel 1-3)

^ With that, I'll be able to easily copy and paste the set into this post.

So with all that said and done, here is the start of the actual compilation.

Honed Blade, Quick Sheath, Critical Draw, Speed Sharpening:

Okay, I just edited those sets in. I went ahead and put the Challenger +2, HG Earplugs, Honed Blade, Razor Sharp, Critical Eye +1 set in the "Generic" set section instead of all of the ones you mentioned.

Easy G rank general GS set:

Spoiler:

G-rank Max Status SnS/Dual Blades:

Spoiler:

And let's not forget the other classic general sets:

Sharpness +1 Speed Sharpening in Low rank:

Spoiler:

Honed Blade, Evasion +1, Speed Sharpening in High Rank

Spoiler:

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Fri Apr 24, 2015 3:00 am

That "high rank" set is basically G-rank considering Dalamadur only has Ukanlos left to do before you're already there.

The other classic HR one is

Sharpness +1, Challenger +2, Bio Researcher, Fire Res -20:

Also, another GS set

Sheath Control, Sharpness +1, Critical Draw, Focus, Evasion +1:

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Fri Apr 24, 2015 3:04 am

a nice general usage set i made:
comes with AuXL, Razor Sharp, HG earplugs and depending on talisman and weapon slots 1-2 other skills.

Skull Mask (torso Up)
Garuga Mail X +1sharpness +1Attack
Esurient Vambraces Z one free slot
Excello Coil Z +5 Attack
Excello Greaves Z +3 Attack

this ster (though i know it isn't ideal) is pretty vesatile. right now i'm using it with a GS and have put on Focus. Once i upgraded them i'm planning to use it with SnS (just gem in anny elemental boost i want) or just with any other weapon i just feel like using

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Fri Apr 24, 2015 3:19 am

Unfortunately, the general use set from CantaPerMe that I posted directly outclasses that... A side-by-side:

HG Earplugs = HG Earplugs
Honed Blade > Attack Up XL
Razor Sharp = Razor Sharp
Challenger +2 = Rare Desired Skill
Critical Eye +1 > nothing

or

Challenger +2 > Easy Desired Skill
Critical Eye +1 = Easy Desired Skill

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Fri Apr 24, 2015 3:21 am

Here is my current set. It does not need weapon slots, which is good for sets using strong Elder Dragon weapons with no slots.

Autotracker, HG Earplugs, Sharpness +1, Partbreaker
Weapon - (None)
Helios Helm X - Psychic Jewel 1, Psychic Jewel 1, Psychic Jewel 1
Akantor Aegis X - Psychic Jewel 1, Psychic Jewel 1
Grand Mizuha Sleeves - Earplug Jewel 1, Psychic Jewel 1
Esurient Faulds Z - Torso Up
Helios Greaves X - Destroyer Jewel 1, Earplug Jewel 1
Talisman (Destroyer +3 OOO) - Destroyer Jewel 3

5 points in Expert, with a 3 slot weapon, add an Expert Jewel 3 for Crit Eye +1.
7 points in Water Atk, so with a 2 slot Water Weapon, add a Stream Jewel 2 for Water Atk +1.

--------------------

If you don't care about Auto-Tracker...

HG Earplugs, Windproof (Hi), Sharpness +1, Partbreaker
Weapon - (None)
Helios Helm X - Wind Res Jewel 2, Wind Res Jewel 1
Akantor Aegis X - Wind Res Jewel 2
Grand Mizuha Sleeves - Earplug Jewel 1, Wind Res Jewel 1
Esurient Faulds Z - Torso Up
Helios Greaves X - Destroyer Jewel 1, Earplug Jewel 1
Talisman (Destroyer +3 OOO) - Destroyer Jewel 3

--------------------
And, my cute Egg Carry set. Stats don't matter, because you won't be fighting.

Autotracker, Heat Cancel, Marathon Runner, Pro Transporter
Weapon - Sprinter Jewel 3
Zinogre Helm S - Sprinter Jewel 1, Sprinter Jewel 1
Loc Lac Shawl - Psychic 1 Jewel
Chakra Bracelet - Sprinter Jewel 3
Loc Lac Kilt - Psychic Jewel 1, Psychic Jewel 1 (dye it green to match the top)
Maiden Socks - Torso Up
Talisman - Psychic +7 (or more)

i did say that i know it's not ideal. also the set has 6 points in expert so that's not too hard to get together with any skill. also you don't need an edgmaster+4 OOO tali. and if you want to put a skill in that fits a certain weapon better it's always nice to just switch the tali. (and i mainly didn't go for Honed Blade/sharpness+1 because at the time i made it it's main purpose was to fit the Seregios GS)

That one I don't think was typed in correctly. I didn't add it just because I wasn't completely sure what helm you were using.

Meant to say skull visage

Here's a G-rank GS set that's good:

sharpness +1
attack up XL
sheathe control (punishing draw + quick sheathe)
focus

0 weapon slots
Grand Yamato Kabuto
Kaiser Mail X
Black Belt Vambraces (or anything with Torso Inc)
Kaiser Tassets X
Grand Yamato Gusoku
-----------------
+13 Attack charm
-----------------
1x Charger Jewel 3
1x Attack Jewel 2
1x Charger Jewel 1
1 slot spare

If you find at least edgemaster+4 relic greatsword from your box, it's time to kick it up a notch with the set below:

Honed blade, Challenger+2, Critical draw, Focus, Latent power+1 :

Added ridiculousness if you have an extreme fastcharge/crit draw with sheathing/tremor res talisman combination.

And if you don't, there's always the generic greatsword/hammer set doable at g3:

HGE, Sharpness+1, Critical draw, Focus, Evasion+1:

Honed Blade, Crit Draw, Focus, Quick Sheathe GS set

Diablos Helm X
Hawksuit X
Black Belt Vambraces (or anything with Torso Inc)
Grand Divine Ire Obi
Miralis Drogues
-----------------
+4 Edgemaster ---
-----------------
1x Charger Jewel 3
2x Draw Jewel 2
1x Draw Jewel 1
2x Charger Jewel 1

I had a typo in my egg set... The Arms need a Sprinter 3 Jewel, not a Sprinter 1 jewel.

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Sat Apr 25, 2015 12:37 am

Here is a set I plan on making when the appropriate DLC quests come out.
For use with a natural purple sharpness GS. Seregios or relic.

Critical draw, focus, unshakable, evade distance, AuXL

Weapon - draw jewel 1
Torso up helm
GX Hunter Armor - attack jewel 3
Grand Gloaming Braces - attack jewel 3
GX Hunter Base - charger jewel 3
GX Hunter Cuisses - jumping jewel 2, jumping jewel 1
Talisman (attack +10 O) - draw jewel 1

There is plenty of room for changing things because there is the three slot in the chest. and the talisman is open to compliment it. Maybe challenger or adrenalin. Or perhaps Gogmazios GS with critical element or a few defferent skills that can be added with +2 decorations.
Lots of options.

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Sat Apr 25, 2015 3:23 pm

Generic Sets should be split into Generic Gunner and Generic Blademaster.

Good idea. I just split them up.

Seregios LBG setup for G-Rank

Seregios LBG: Sniper Jewel 2
Seregios X Cap: Forceshot Jewel 3
Sororal Vest: Evasion Jewel 2
Kushala X Embrace: Evasion Jewel 2
Torso Up waist (I use Esurient Coat, optimally you'll want Vangis X)
Sororal Leggings: Forceshot Jewel 3 or 2x Forceshot Jewel 1
Talisman: Dead Eye +4 OO (Sniper Jewel 2)

Gives Fleet Feet, Evasion+1, Trajectory and Normal/Rapid Up. Optimally, you'll want to hone the LBG for Life.

Faux Tetsucabra (Low Rank, serves for any weapon)
Tetsucabra Helm
Tesucabra Torso
Tetsucabra Braces
Alloy Faulds
Arzuros Greaves

Should give the same skills as Tetsucabra armor, but is less intensive on the Tetsucabra-farming.

Hybrid-Lancing setup for G-Rank

Weapon: OO (Evasion Jewel 2)
Gravios Helm X (any/none)
Kushala Cista X (Evasion Jewel 2)
Gravios Braces X (Ironwall Jewel 2)
Kushala Waist X (Artisan Jewel 3)
Gravios Greaves X (Ironwall Jewel 2)

Without a talisman, it gives Evasion +1, Guard +2, Sharpness +1, and Defense Up (S). With a good enough talisman, you can pretty much increase Evasion+1 to +3, or get Defense Up (XL), etcetera, or add a new skill, such as Evade Dist Up.

Ultimate Guard Lance build

Weapon: OO (Defense Jewel 2)
Gravios X Helm (Defense Jewel 1)
Gravios X Plate (Defense Jewel 2)
Gravios X Braces (Ironwall Jewel 2)
Gravios Z Faulds (Defense Jewel 2)
Gravios X Greaves (Ironwall Jewel 2)
Talisman: Anything with at least Guard Up +6

Skills: Defense Up XL, Guard +2, Guard Boost. For added mega-tankiness, get the Hermitaur Lance and hone it for Defense for a whopping +120 defense and Divine Protection.

Recommend for Females Only

Soaring Grisbow (Attack Jewel 2)
Vangis Cap X (FastCharge Jewel 1)
Sororal Vest (Attack Jewel 2)
Duramboros Guards X (FastCharge Jewel 1, FastCharge Jewel 1)
Vangis Coat X
Sororal Leggings (Forceshot Jewel 3)
Creator Talisman [Normal/Rapid Up +6, Attack +7 OOO] (FastCharge Jewel 3)

Attack Up (XL)
Fleet Feet
Focus
Normal/Rapid Up

Unfortunately it requires a very specific talisman combination (can be changed around, but still, it's rare).

Subject: Re: MH4U Armor Set Compilation Fri May 01, 2015 7:46 pm

Honed Blade
Razor Sharp
Evasion +3
Challenger +2

Akantor X (2x artillery jewel1)
Garuga X (2x artillery jewel1)
Garuga X (artillery jewel1)
