HGE, Sharpness+1, and Evade+2 without a useless 3-slotted weapon:

Charm: +6 Evasion - O Head: (Ceadeus+) +2 Hearing, +1 Handicraft - OOO Chest: (Ceadeus+) +3 Hearing, +5 Handicraft Arms: (Ceadeus+) +5 Hearing, +3 Handicraft Waist: (Deviljho) Torso Up Legs: (Low Barioth) +3 Evasion - OO Weapon: O

Decorations: 1 Handicraft Jewel, 2 Lightfoot Jewels, 2 Earplug Jewels

Result: +15 Hearing, +15 Evasion, +15 Handicraft, -6 Sharpness, -8 Protection

Note by Eternity (this set has -11 protection, you get -2 from the hearing jewels and it has -9 on its own)

So it has, a double failure on my part, as I miscounted and forgot about the negative protection on Earplug Jewels. I've fixed it now.

New one with 100% less failure:

Charm: +5 Evasion - OO Head: (Skull Mask) Torso Up Chest: (Ceadeus+) +3 Hearing, +5 Handicraft, -1 Protection, -2 Sharpness Arms: (Ceadeus+) +5 Hearing, +3 Handicraft, -4 Protection, -1 Sharpness Waist: (Barioth+) +2 Evasion, +1 Evade Dist, +1 Cold Res, -3 Heat Res - OOO Legs: (Ceadeus+) +4 Hearing, +4 Handicraft, -2 Protection, -3 Sharpness Weapon: O

Jewels: 2 Lightfoot, 2 Evade

Totals: +15 Evasion, +15 Hearing, +17 Handicraft, +1 Evade Dist., +1 Cold Res, -8 Protection, -8 Sharpness, -3 Heat Res

Skills: High Grade Earplugs, Evade+2, Sharpness+1

Sharpness +1, Mind's Eye (ESP) set (as requested)

Helios helm + (+4 handicraft jewel) Rathalos Mail + Helios Vambraces + Helios coil + (+4 handicraft jewel) Rathalos Greaves + Dragon Talisman (+4 fencing) (not a swordsman jewel, a talisman that comes with +4 fencing, it also comes with a negative skill but just hope it's a useless negative skill)

+6 Hearing, +16 Handicraft, -9 Sharpness, -8 Protection, - 5 Defense, +10 Fencing, +5 Expert Sharpness +1, Mind's Eye. With a 3 slot weapon you can gem in low grade earplugs by using a +4 hearing jewel, there is a spare slot on the Rathalos Mail + to add a protection jewel to negate the negative protection. so you will have Low Grade Earplugs, Sharpness +1, and Mind's Eye (ESP) Rightnut, I've double checked it and it works out fine. I dont see what you can possibly be getting wrong here, it adds up perfectly.

Lostsoul1313 (Eternity)

Lostsoul1313, this information seems wrong to me. Your adding 2 Handicraft for a reason I can’t discern and it seems you have failed to subtract 2 Handicraft for the swordsman’s Jewel in the Dragon Talisman. Here is what I came up with. Head    - Helios+ with Architect Jewel                (+5 Handicraft) Chest   - Rathalos+ with Handicraft Jewel             (+1 Handicraft)(+3 Fencing) Arms    - Helios+                                     (+3 Handicraft) Waist   - Helios+ with Swordsman's Jewel                             (+4 Fencing) Legs    - Rathalos+                                                  (+3 Fencing) Weapon  - Any 2+ slot weapon with 2 Handicraft Jewels (+2 Handicraft) Talisman - 3 Slot Talisman with Architect Jewel       (+4 Handicraft) Total   - (+15Handicraft)(+10Fencing) Which is basicly the same thing as you, except with the charms in differnt slots. But I dont see how your getting 16 Handicraft. when I found that I needed to use the rathalos chest slot and the weapon slot to get 15. RightNut 00:13, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

By Khanate :

Here is an alternative setup for HG Earplugs, +2 Evade and Sharpness +1 that does not require Mohran + parts

Head - Helios+ with Lightfoot and Evade Jewels (+4 Evasion)

Chest - Lagiacrus+ or Damascus or Chakra with Architect Jewel (+4 Handicraft, -2 Sharpness)

Arms - Helios+

Waist - Helios

Legs - Helios

Weapon - Iron Impact with Lightfoot and Evade Jewels (+4 Evasion)

Talisman - +7 Evade 1 Slot Talisman Protection Jewel (+7 Evasion, +1 Protection)

Total - (+15 Hearing, +16 Handicraft,, -9 Protection, -7 Sharpness, +15 Evasion)

Sets by Twisted

Greatsword (Sharpness +1, HG Earplug, Punish Draw)

Helmet: Helios Helm+ (Architech Jewel) --- Mail: Damascus Mail (checkmate Jewel) --- Vambrace: Helios Vambraces+ --- Coil: Vangis Coil --- Greaves: Vangis Greaves (Architech Jewel) ---&nbsp Weapon: Alteon Revolution (Earplug Jewel, Earplug Jewel) --- Amulet: +6 Hearing Charm (or +1 hearing for Earplug)

Use: Sharpness +1 allows great sword to be purple sharpness. Earplug for charging sword while a roar. Punish Draw for stun after a charged draw, which will allow another charged blow.

Sword & Shield (Guard +2, Flame Aura, Status atk up, Razor Sharp)

Helm: Agnaktor Helm+ --- Mail: Agnaktor Mail+ (Disabler Jewel) --- Vambraces: Gigginox Vambraces+ (Disabler Jewel+, Disabler Jewel) --- Tasset: Gigginox Faulds+ (Disabler Jewel) --- Greaves: Agnaktor Greaves+ (Iron Wall Jewel) --- Weapon: Toxic Fang or Almighty Dahaka (Torchlight Jewel) ---&nbsp Amulet: +3 Sharpness

Use: Guard +2 for split second blocking to keep you alive; Also for blocking roars (almost like Earplug). Flame aura came extra. Status atk up for poisoning/paralyzing quicker. Razor sharp so the sharpness doesn't go down as fast

Hammer TTime (HG Earplug, Sharpness +1, Marathon Runner)

Helm: Helios Helm+ (silencer Jewel) -- Mail: Helios Mail+ ---&nbsp Vambraces: Barroth Vambraces+ (Marathon Jewel) --- Tasset: Helios Coil+ (silencer Jewel) --- Greaves: Barroth Greaves+ (Sprinter Jewel) --- Weapon: Devils Crush (G) (Earplug Jewel) --- Amulet: +2 handicraft

Use: HG Earplug so that charges aren't disrupted, Sharpness +1 for purple sharpness, Marathon Runner for saving your stamina

Stun Lance Fun (Critical Eye +1, ESP, Guard Up)

Head: Rathalos Helm+ (Swordsman Jewel)

Chest: Damascus Mail (Aegis Jewel, shield Jewel)

Arm: Rathalos Vambraces+ (Fencer Jewel)

Waist: Damascus Coil (Shield Jewel)

Legs: Rathalos Grieves+

Weapon: Gobuluka Muraaka (Shield Jewel)

Amulet: +2 Expert

Use: Critical Eye +1 for extra damage, Esp so you don't bounce off objects when sharpness goes down, Guard up for... well... Guarding extra things!

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).

Set Contributed by: Excessive Orange 15:21, May 24, 2010 (UTC) Evasion +2, Focus, Citical Draw Head: Baggi+ (Dynamo Jewel) Chest: Barrioth+ Arms: Baggi+ Waist: Barioth+ (Lightfoot Jewel and Draw Jewel) Legs: Barioth (Lightfoot Jewel) Charm: Critical Draw+6 Any 2 Slot GS with Critical Jewel Somewhat flexible as there is another slot on the arms if you want to add a draw jewel. There could also be a better charm out there. Credit goes to TheNeoianOne Edit: If you can get a Critical Draw+7 charm and then gem the arms with that draw jewel then you'll only need a one slot weapon. Makes things a lot easier.

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).

Weapon Drawing Armor Set:

Head: Diablos Helm+ (no decoration)

Chest: Uragaan Mail+ (Gambit Jewel)

Arms: Diablos Vambraces (no decoration)

Waist: Uragaan Tasset+ (Bombardier Jewel)

Leg: Uragaan Greaves (no decoration)

Charm: Tremor Res +2

Weapon: Melee

Abilities: Critical Draw, Punishing Draw, Bombardier, Tremor-Proof, Defense Up (S)

Useful set for hunters that focus on weapon drawing. No extra slots available on armor to customize, attaining extra skills would require a better charm with tremor Res +2 and a slotted weapon

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)

Other setup for same goal (requires 3 slot weapon)

Head: Lagiacrus+ (FreeElement +1)

Chest: Helios/Selene+

Arms: Lagiacrus+ (FreeEelement +1)

Waist: Helios/Selene+ (Handicraft +4)

Legs: Lagiacrus+ (FreeEelement +1)

Talisman: Elemental +3

Weapon: (Handicraft +4)

Twisted's Godly GS set
Amazing GS Set

Body: Damascus Mail (Checkmate Jewel - +5 Punish Draw, +1 Health, +1 Guard up, -2 Stamina, -2 sharpness)

Arms: Uragaan Vambraces+ (Checkmate Jewel - +5 Punish Draw, +2 Defense, +2 Bomb Boost, -2 eating, -2 sharpness)

Waist: Helios Coil+ (Silencer Jewel - +5 hearing, +2 Handicraft, -3 protection, -3 sharpness)

Legs: Dober Greaves (Silencer Jewel - +4 Hearing, +1 Crit Draw, +2 Dragon Resist, +1 Stamina, -3 Potential, -2 Protection)

Amulet: Queens Amulet (Critical Jewel - +9 Crit Draw, -1 expert)

Weapon: Any 1 slot GS (Protection Jewel - +1 Protection)

Skills

+15 Hearing

+10 Punish Draw

+10 Crit Draw

 Notes 

After recieving an amulet that had 2 empty slots with a +6 Critical Draw I began working on this seemingly impossible set. This tops my old GS set by a landslide, it may possibly be the greatest GS set ever created

Recoil Down+2/Reload Down+2/Status Up Gunner Set
I saw that the editing feature on armor combinations is locked..so I guess I put mine down here.

Uragaan Cap+ w/ Disabler gem

Rhenoplos Vest+ w/ Disabler gem

Gigginox Guards+ w/ FlashloadGem (+3reload, -1 recoil) and Disabler Gem

Uragaan Coat+ w/ Disabler Gem

Bnahabra Leggings+ w/ Disabler Gem

Charm: Reload+6 w/ 1slot Disabler Gem.

Weapon:

ThunderRex Frame/Devils Grin Barrel/ChaosWing Stock (Disabler Gem in Devil's Grin)

With this setup, my gun is Reload: Fastest, and Recoil: Min.

along with that, the resistances for the set is pretty good.

with a resistance table of:

Fire: 7

Water: -10

Ice: -1

Thunder: 5

Dragon: 4

with only water being the only signicant weakness.

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

Introduction
I made this set to replace my low rank Agnaktor set as soon as i reached 5 star quests. It's pretty easy to obtain, has skills to make hunting high rank Agnaktor much easier and has 259 def when upgraded to the point where you need heavy armor spheres (so it has about 100 more than full low rank agnaktor)..

Skills
Guard +2

Guard Boost

Speed Sharpening

Options for Thunder Res +10/Wind Proof

-Doggy Paddler (needs +1 to swim to cancel)

Resistances
Fire -1

Water -2

Ice 2

Thunder 1 (11 if with Thunder Res +10)

Dragon 2

So this set doesn't have any elemental strengths (except thunder if you get thunder res +10), but it doesn't have any weaknesses either.

Items
Weapon: slots depending on charm

Head: Ingot Helm+ (1 slot)

Torso: Steel Mail+ (1 slot)

Hands: Steel Vembraces+ (1 slot)

Waist: Steel Coil+ (1 slot)

Feet: Agnaktor Greaves (low rank, no slot)

Charm: Some guard up, the more the better. if no guard up charm is available the weapon and the charm need at least 1 slot in total

Decorations
The armor parts by themselves have

+16 guard

+9 sharpener

+5 guard up

+4 thunder res

+3 wind res

-10 swim

4 empty slots

What you gem exactely depends on your charm. I really like Guard Boost to hunt Agnaktor (which is the main purpose of this set), so i consider that as important. Gemming in Guard Boost requires 5 slots, the armor only has 4. So either your weapon or your charm needs 1 slot. If you have a charm with guard up you can start completing the other skills. 1 slot each gives you sharpener and removes doggy paddler. 3 slots give you thunder res +10, wind res could also be achievable.

Personally i have a 1 slotted charm with +4 Guard Up, which means i can get Guard Boost with the charm alone. I gemmed in Speed Sharpening and gemmed out Doggy Paddler. Then i filled the remaining 2 slots with thunder res (they give +2 each) and i also gemmed my slotted lances with thunder res. Together with such a lance it activates Thunder Res +10.

Set by Naryoril

Brute Force set 1


====

StewB's experimental Qurupeco set.
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.
