Ceadeus +

So I'm wondering how you make Ceadeus + armor. I have the low rank ceadeus armor but the defense is terrible compared to the rathian + armor I'm wearing. so 1. how do you make it and 2. Do the stats (dont know what they are) make it worth farming materials?

If you like HGE and Sharpness +1 (who doesn't) then yes

Ceadeus+ can only be made after HR 51+, as it required conqueror's seals, which can only be gained from 6:star: double monster quests. The armour itself mainly requires jhen mohran and ceadeus materials.

Now for a slight bit of advice: Ceadeus+ is not a very good armour if you wear it entirely. Due to the skill points in some armour parts, it's best to use a mix, in order to get rid of the negative skills on it and put some others in place. Using some Low rank ceadeus is often the easiest way of doing so.

Strangely, I've never aquired a Caedeus set, I don't particularly like fighting Ceadeus, you can generally only got 2 or 3 skills onto a Ceadeus set without a god charm.

The material farming is worth it if you use a hammer I guess (though I just used Jhen+) but it's all mostly Jhen+, Lagi+ and Ceadeus with some other gems (iirc)

Elaborating slightly on what Win said, the exact mix for the Ceadeus armor combo you want without negative skills goes like:

Helios Helm+
Helios Mail+
Helios Vambraces (-)
Helios Coil (-)
Helios Leggings (-)

The defense is equal to that of Jhen+ and Escadora, since Ceadeus is a grand dragon, so you get a total defense of around 462 (or something similar).

Sweet! Thanks for all of the info!

or you can use headless helios, which lets you keep the head slot open for jaggi mask, an eyepatch, or an earring.

Edit: Sorry, I pasted the wrong thing for the armor set, It should be the right one now.
