Head: Uragaan Cap+

Body: Damascus Vest

Arms: Uragaan Guards+

Waist: Uragaan Coat+

Legs: Vangis Leggings

Skills: Load Up, Recoil Down +2, Trap Expert, Bombardier

Notes: Set used for Alatreon speed runs.

Pierce Gunner Set by moogua:

Head: Diablos Cap (+) If low rank, gem with Pierce Jewel

Body: Diablos Vest (+)

Arms: Barioth Guards+ Gem with Pierce Jewel

Waist: Barioth Coat+ Gem with Leaping Jewel

Legs: Barioth Leggings+

Skills: Pierce S Boost, Evasion + 1/2 (See below), Evasion Up

Seeing as Low Rank and High Rank Diablos armor end up with the same skills, you may use either set.

''This set is very dependant on what charm and gun you have. Your gun must have at least 1 slot for this to work, with a Pierce Jewel in it.''

To get Evasion + 2, you must have an Evade +6/7 OO (Gem for Evade Dist) Charm.

If you have a 3 slot gun, an Evade +6/7 no slot can be used, with the gun gemmed for Pierce Jewel and 2x Jumping Jewel to get Evasion + 2.

For Evasion + 1, 'a No skill OOO (Gem for 1x Evade, 2x Evade Dist) or Evade Dist +2/3 O' (Gem for Evade) can also work.

Awakened Event by Daigo_endgame

Head: Helios/Selene Helm+ OOO +2 Hearing, +1 Handicraft GEM+4FREE ELEMENT

Body: Helios/Selene Mail+ --- +3 Hearing, +5 Handicraft

Arms: Lagiacrus Vambraces+ O +5 FreeElement GEM+1FREE

Waist: Vangis Coil --- Torso Up

Legs: Escadora Scale --- +5 FreeElement

Charm: Dragon Talisman OOO No effect GEM+4HANDICRAFT

Item: any 2+ socket weapon OO+ 2X GEM+1HEARING

Skills: Awaken, Sharpness+1, Earplugs

Notes: for a more consistent look, you can use the Helios/Selene Coil with a +4Handicraft gem but you need to find a Dragon talisman with +4 handicraft and no sharpness minus in order to not have the blunt edge skill.

Useful for event weapons that need awakening i.e. Lion's Bane

Transporter Set by - Vamp -:

Head:  Jaggi Helm

Body: Loc Lac Shawl+

Arms: Chakra Bracelet [Gem with Destiny Jewel]

Waist: Loc Lac Kilt+

Legs: Loc Lac Boots+ [Gem with Fate Jewel]

Charm: Any

Skills:  Great Luck, Heat Cancel (Hi), Pro Transporter, Recovery Spd +1, Charm skill

Notes:  Great for Poached Eggs Event Quest

Low Rank Versatile Set by - Vamp -:

Head:  Helios/Selene Helm

Body: Lagiacrus Mail [Gem with Handicraft Jewel]

Arms: Helios/Selene Vambraces [Gem with Handicraft Jewel]

Waist: Helios/Selene Coil

Legs: Helios/Selene Greaves

Charm: See Notes

Skills:  Sharpness +1, HG Earplugs

Notes:  You will need a combonation of 3 total slots between the weapon and charm to have HG Earplugs without demonic blessing. If regular Earplugs suffice, then no slots are required and a charm skill may be added. If HG Earplugs with demonic blessing is okay by you, you only need 2 slots between the charm and weapon.

Handicraft +1 and CritDraw realtively easy set

I've yet to test it but i think this is a relatively simple set to craft.

You have to use:

Diablos Vambraces (+5 crit draw)

Diablos Helm + (+5 crit draw)

Helios Coil (+3 Handicraft)

Helios Greaves (+5 Handicraft)

Helios Mail + (+5 Handicraft)

At this point you can choose to use a 2 slot weapon or a 2 slot charm to add two jewel with handicraft +1. As a bonus you get no blunt edge and hearplugs (normal)

As i said, it's relatively easy to make (no particular rare items are needed), but lack slots and some defense (the first problem is impossible to solve but the second it's easyer with armor stones).

I think it's usefull to gain some good gs ability when you're farming for better materials but you just want that 2 damned and usefull skills to do more damage :D

I hope someone will comment on this to just know if it has some flaw.

Thx

Completed Sets
'''Post Completed Sets Here. They will be double checked before being posted into the main article'''

Unobtainable Sets
This set cannot be made because you need Hunter King Coins and you cannot get those yet. It will be put into the main article once it can be made. I don't know how the main auther is but I kept it in its original text. GeneStarwind 05:39, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Divine Whim + Combination +45% + Wide Range +2

Grace Earrings

Chainmail Armor+ (2x professor jewel)

Leather Gloves+ (2x blessing jewel)

Leather Belt+ (2x blessing jewel)

Any pants with torso up (alloy/alloy+/guild/guild+)

(weapon + talisman free, so long as there's at least 1 socket between the two)

Gives Whim +15, Wide-Range +20, Combination Rate +18, Health +10. Use a socket on weapon/talisman for the needed combo rate. The set already listed lacks combination +45% (but has an excess of wide-range).

===OTHER===

Sets posted here are sets I am not going to waste my time putting up. If original author would like to include it themselves, feel free to. GeneStarwind 06:14, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Anti-Monster Attacks By General Ownage Head: Qurupeco Helm O

Chest: Qurupeco Mail/vest O

Arms: Qurupeco Vambraces O

Waist: Qurupeco Coil O

Legs: Qurupeco Leggings O

Weapon: Azi Dahaka, Hypnos Blade, Royal Claw-Royal Ludroth Claw, And Bone Tomahawk-Flaming Falchion

In the slots put Grinder Jewels to get the speed sharpener ability. Also use a talisman that gives auto guard. For use against Rathians, Rathalos, Gigginox (Actually pretty good when using Azi Dahaka Or Hypnos Blade), Agnaktor and Uragaan (More commonly known as Jay Leno).

Requst solution: Awaken + ElementAtkUp + Sharpness +1 (requires a 2-slot weapon, but weapons that benefit from awakening tend to have multiple slots. A 3 slot weapon means it's much easier to acquire the necessary talisman)

Head: Lagiacrus+ (Handicraft +1)

Chest: Lagiacrus+ (Handicraft +4)

Arms: Lagiacrus+ (Handicraft +1)

Waist: Lagiacrus+ (2x Handicraft +1)

Legs: Lagiacrus+ (Handicraft +1)

Talisman: Handicraft +4 (n.b. using a 3 slot talisman and a handicraft jewel will net you blunt edge. Blunt edge is bad. If your weapon is 3 slots you only need Handicraft +2 from your talisman). Hope your -10 is status/recoil/reload speed or something similarly useless.

Weapon: (2x Handicraft +1 OR 1x Handicraft +4 if you have 3 slots)

Skills Wide Range + 1

Evasion +1

Recovery Up

Def Up (S)

Items:

Weapon: Any

Head: Qurupeco Helm+ (1 slot)

Torso: Qurupeco Mail (1 slot)

Hands: Qurupeco Vambraces (1 slot)

Waist: Qurupeco Faulds+ (1 slot)

Feet: Qurupeco Greaves+ (3 slots)

Charm: Any

Decorations: 1 Recovery Level Up + 1, 6 Evasion + 1

Notes: Tested this and it works fine, gives a nice ~222 defence when you upgrade low rank gear. Just a set i made up to do early high rank quests, could work well into 5* quests after being upgraded fully. Combines the skills i like from both sets nicely. upto yourself if you wanna trade wide-range +2 for wide-range +1 and evasion +1. With an Evasion +6 talisman you can have either Evasion +2 or Evasion +1 and some 5 slot skill i.e something like capture guru which needs 5 +2 jewels.

Sharpness +1, Large Attack, Critical Draw

Weapon:Anguish (P) +1 Slot (Hungerless Jewel +2 Hunger)

Armor: Full Vangis Set +3 Slot Greaves (Onslaught Jewel +5 Attack)

Dragon Talisman Charm: Critical Draw +7, +2 Slots (Critical Jewel +3 Critical Draw)

Skills: Health +50, Punishing Draw, Guard Boost, Status Attack Up, Bombardier

Resistance: -10 Fire, +10 Ice, -10 Thunder, +15 Dragon

Not a combo set, but a good gemmed one

Any melee weapon(See below)

Rathalos Helm+ (three slots) Swordsman Jewel (+4 Fencing, -2 Handicraft)

Rathalos Mail+ (one slot) See below

Rathalos Vambraces

Rathalos Faulds+ (one slot) Attack Jewel (+1 Attack, -1 Defense)

Rathalos Greaves (two slots) Master jewel (+3 Expert, -1 Dragon Res)

Talisman with +7 Attack

This nets you...

Attack Up (M), Critical Eye +2, Heat Cancel (Lo), Mind's Eye, Defense Down (S)

This is a set I made specifically for first flash hammer charges all over the place. I have no idea how it plays yet, but I imagine good, considering you'll never fail to hit the head and then dodge immediately after which is what fencing is for. It's nice to be able to hit uragaan with a not quite charged hammer blow and not bounce off and get slammed. Should be good for hit and run hammering.


 * If you want to get rid of that Defense down, you'll need a two slot weapon. Put a turtle jewel in it, and use the spare slot in your mail for an attack charm to balance.
 * Not sure if this is all correct, so doublecheck before you make.

'''Hopefully if you have read this far I want you to see an example of a set I wont put into a table. Set that say you can have A or B or C or D or E are just not good enough. You need to have a specific set of skills. The ideas are great, you just need to be more specific as to what the set does. ''' GeneStarwind 08:06, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

As we have NO Hunter King Coin yet, We cant get the Guild+ Set which is the perfect Hunting Rewards Set.

Hunting Rewards Set

Its basically a Low Rank Baggi Set with Jaggi Mask

Head: Jaggi Mask

Body: Baggi Mail (2 slots)

Arms: Baggi Vambraces(1 slot)

Waist: Baggi Coil(1 slot)

Legs: Baggi Greaves (1 slot)

---

Weapon: Any (1 slot for fate gem)

Charm: +4 Fate (1x fate gem in any open slot)

---

Skills: Capture Expert, Great Luck, Focus (2 slots required), Ice Res (1 slot required), or 5 armor slots to make any 5 gem skill

Key is capture Expert(which gives 100% chance of giving Capture/Break body parts rewards)

with Great Luck (to give more rewards)

If we use Baggi+, there will be no slots available for decorations as the Baggi Helm+ takes 3 slots. I use this set fully levelled up for HR51 dual monster runs - it gives ~300 Def which is adequate def except when Rathlos and Rathian burns you up TOGETHER due to the LOW fire def.

The critdraw / sharpness +1 / focus set for greatsword only needs a +5 critdraw charm and a 1 slot weapon. It needs to be edited appropriately, I was trying to make it with High Sieglinde and had one slot left over using a +5 critdraw charm (Technically +4 / 1 slot). 174.108.83.150 02:48, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
