To arm yourself for the rising power of monsters in Monster Hunter World,you’ll need better and better armor . Collect body parts of slain monsters and have the armor pieces made by the blacksmith in Astera. All armor will give you different levels of defense and resistance that protect you against elements like fire, thunder, or ice. You should also equip your companion with new Palico armor , which we will show you later in the guide.

Armor and values ​​at a glance – Armor and weapons in Monster Hunter World

The blacksmith of Astera can forge new armor when you first find a specific material to make. As we have already advised you in our tips , you should therefore take care to always take as many resources as possible. Also kill smaller monsters and, for example, degrade all crystals and ores in the environment.

On every new hunt you should make sure that your armor has the required resistance to the target. This can decisively influence the outcome of the fight.The following picture gallery shows you all armor, their set bonuses and status values:

Difference between high and low rank armor – Armor and weapons in Monster Hunter World

If you have spent a few hours in the New World and have already killed many monsters and completed quests, you will soon be able to make better versions of the usual armor . These are referred to as high-rank armor – you recognize them by the symbols α and β .

The appearance of the low and high-rank armor is no different, but you will be able to see the difference in the defense values. The improved values, however, also require rare materials that you have to farm with great difficulty.
