First thing i learn in this video...although i sorted in investigations and stuff,never tried in the smithy so lost lot of time going through the pieces looking for the skills....
Holy shit, I didn't know you could highlight armours by skills at the smithy. The amount of time I've wasted going back and forth between armour sets... Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately most good skills on sets aren't easily divided into chest/waist and gloves/boots/helm so you dont get fairly coherent sets like mikumiku mi or baibai kaiser. You end up with stuff like waist and legs of one monster and three unrelated pieces now. Also only having 31 monsters and something like 40 armor sets really hinders good set making compared to 90+ in mh4u.
Tykras well to be honest in the previous games they could have all those monsters because they could easily implement monsters from previous title due to being similar , while in mhw they have to be remade from the ground up
When you play an unreasonable amount like me, it all comes down to slots. You have all the skills you could want on jewels, so armor is always beta and you have to choose if the 3 set bonuses are worth the sub-optimal skills. A great problem to have in a great game.
Side note if you don't think you'll remember the pieces to your custom set, you can add them to the wish list. Doing this will add a little symbol to the crafting list for those specific armour pieces which makes it much easier to locate. It's also a good way to keep track of the materials required to build the set
MIXED SET MONDAY CONFIRMED! Here is my guard lance set! Barroth helm (a) Kushula cista (b) Uragaan vambraces (a) Uragaan coil (b) Uragaan greaves (a) Handicraft charm 3 3 speed sharpen decorations 3 weakness exploit decorations 1 protective polish decoration Lance: Xeno Zauta This set gives: Guard level 5 Guard up Handicraft level 5 Speed sharpen level 3 Weakness exploit level 3 Protective Polish Very nice set for lancers! Bakuur is the name of this set since it uses Barroth, kushula, and uragaan pieces. Edit: Hearing that there is a guard up decoration or charm? Not sure, but if somebody finds something like this I'd love to make a set around it!
#BringBackTransmog I seriously hate that the armor I like the look of has next to useless skills and no gem slots compared to later on. That's to say nothing of the defense loss.
I miss my armor with earplugs and gluttony skills but I don’t like when the armor doesn’t match and I’m not willing to sacrifice a cool looking piece of armor :(
Same here, buddy. I refuse to wear mixed sets that look awful, regardless of how good the skills may be. Not like it's ever really mattered. Full Xeno set is quite neat for my insect glaive anyway.
Diego Gc A big reason why its been harder for me to beat the elders lol. I can do quite a lot but I can make and use mixed sets, i jusy hate it when they look awful together
Nia Tahl I use insect glaive sometimes too I’ll give it a try to the xeno set. I wish we could do like with the samurai set, to apply a specific look of a piece of armor you own to another one, pure cosmetic without loosing any stat or at least to change the color and not just some detail on it.
The Bow Sniper I have a slightly similar setup. Bazel helm, dober chest, bazel coil, nerg gloves, and dober boots with a level 3 attack charm. 7 attack, 4 earplugs, 2 challenger and some affinity.
Using long sword with Dragon king, Dober mail B, Kaiser Vambraces B, Nergigante coil B, Dober greaves B, and master charm, with some gems. Comes out to attack 7, Crit eye 4, weakness exploit 3, slugger 2, stamina thief 1, latent power 1. Works out well for me.
Brandon Taylor Eyepatch Dober chest Nerg A arms Nerg B waist Nerg A Legs Doesn't look bad on female (I have a weakness exploit jewel on waist) I use Rathalos legs on male instead (no weakness exploit jewel on male) Attack +5(6) (+1 from free attack jewel, get another for full +7) Weakness Exploit Lv3 Agitator Lv3 Maximum Might Lv1 Pair that up with Odogaron LBG and you have a 95% crit chance (100% by Agitator when monster is enraged) Flinch Free Lv1 is almost mandatory if playing with randoms, prevents interruptions from setting Wyvernblast, you still have a Lv3 slot to mess with (Crit Boost maybe)
Otakumi Anime [Hal] I suggest for bow to ignore earplug if your playing with your palico ( it will occasionally give you earplugs with the horn equipped assuming it’s leveled up as well as reduced stamina consumption )
It's simple how you make a mixed set you grab one of each item and there you go it's mixed ;-) LOL PS I love all your videos Aric's keep up the great work
Steven Varvais That's soundstage familiar to my mixes set. I have bazel armor the head arm and waist and i have damacaus body for focus and Diablos legs for tremor res
Those people saying that they don't like it when sets don't match.. its fine , once you reach a higher level, there will be more layered armor for you to choose from.
I tried to make a hell lot of sets for different weapon and play style, but after a hundred hours into the game, now I mainly use a fashion set with average skill against most monsters and only use a certain fugly set when I fight a tough tempered monster because I don't really care whether I clear the hunt in 5 minutes or 7 mintures
Dumb mix set, Hornetaur beta head, whatever rank 1 gem Rathalos beta chest, water attack gem Rathalos alpha boots, Jyura beta gloves, water attack gem Tzitzi alpha pants Sword n shield Rogue Wave III Affinity sliding gem Maximum might charm Skills include Dung master, Weakness exploit 3, Jump master, Critical element 2 set bonus, Water attack 5, Wide range 2, Affinity sliding, Maximum might 3. My nearly completely useless meme is complete. Car wash build. Crits do bonus water damage and water damage is buffed with water attack 5. High affinity, jump master and sliding to reach all the hard to wash places. And dung master in case you need to get something filthy XD
Loving the content bro! You and Datto are killing it with these MHW vids! Just tried making my own mixed set last night. Testing it out today versus Nergigante.
He's very new to covering MH. Used to only focus on Destiny and Destiny 2, but Destiny 2's recent fallout has pushed him into covering other games he enjoys, MHW being one of them. Here's his channel. th-cam.com/users/DattoDoesDestiny
Been following Arekkz since The Division. Recently subbed. But I agree Arekkz and Datto are doing great content. Great ideas and series. Looking forward to the future.
Thanks for the how to make it. I’m now more interested in the why you wanted sleep bombing. What goes into the thought process behind the “why” you want a specific skill. Thanks!
Once they Add the ability to Transmogrify armour, this will be so much better. Won't have to worry about how the Set looks, can just change it after ;P
Got a great, stylish, simple and effective GS set for you that I haven't seen yet. I've dubbed it Beastman: Bazel Helm B Dober Mail B Bazel Vambraces A Bazel Coil B Bazel Greaves A -Attack Charm Lv3 (max) -Great Wyvern Jawblade Right off the bat you get: Attack Boost Lv5 Earplugs Lv5 (max) Critical Draw Lv3 (max) Bombardier Lv2 And you get *FOUR* Lv3 jewel slots and TWO Lv1 slots. Use those Lv1s to max out Attack Boost to Lv7. if I ever find Critical Boost jewels you can bet that I'll be maxing it at Lv3 for +40% Crit Damage. Maybe I'll throw a Focus jewel in that last slot for some easier charged setups. This is THE endgame GS set, and you heard it here first folks (I think).
'Mixed Set Monday' wow right in the 3DS nostalgia feels.. Completely forgot about that series, looking forward to epic sets in MHW given mixes are definitely my jam so far.
This new armor skill system makes mix set building much easier and fun. I'm currently using zorah helmet and pink Ian waist for handicraft, and the rest is uragaan for that guard and guard up, finishing off with a guard charm so I can get guard 5, handicraft 2 and guard up, with a bunch of decoration slots (a double, a triple, and 3 singles) for customization. It's perfect for lancing, which is my main weapon.
I am really happy at how much customization and possibilities we got in the vanilla version of the game, imagine when more and more and more monsters get added down the line it will be glorious!!
Kulu “a” headpiece, mail Zorah “b” claws,spine Zorah “a” spurs Gives Bombardier, earplugs,free elem, crit eye, weakness exploit, fortify I don’t know how good but I tried maybe you’ll like it also gives crit element I believe too
im just in early high rank right now and I'm currently running a mixed set for power element charge blade it isn't perfect by any means, but its actually pretty good as long as you don't get hit. Rath Soul helm B Rathalos Mail B Rathalos vambraces A (isn't necessary to core build, just had extra rathalos bits) Anja coil A Anja Greaves A exploiter charm gives weakness exploit +3, Artillery +3, Fire Resist +3 (+2 without vambraces), Crit boost +1, attack boost +1 (+0 without vambraces), crit element, and adrenaline. A good replacement for the vambraces in this set would probably be Xeno'jiiva Claws A which would give you Crit boost +2 instead of +1 and also would give Flinch Free +1.
Another thing that might help you make your mixed sets is when you're in the forge equipment screen, you can press R2 a few times to switch to the skills tab on the right side of the screen. It'll show you all your currently equipped and previewed skills, and their levels in a little bit more of a visual list. It'll also show you exactly what skills you gain and what you lose when looking at different pieces in the menu by highlighting the skill in green or red. From there you can still hit the touch button to get a detailed explanation of your skills when you need. Having that list on the right really helped me out making my paralyze sword and shield set. Hope that helps you too! Happy hunting!
My current loadout: -Rathalos Helm (B) -Rathalos Mail (B) -Kushala Grip (B) -Nergigante Coil (B) Legs have a ton of freedom, as the big "goals" I had with the set are done at this point. I went with a quality of life improvement, as I play Switch Axe. -Kushala Krus (B) -Evasion Charm (3) With this set including decorations I get: -Evade Window (5/5) -Attack Boost (5/7) (+1 decoration) -Weakness Exploit (3/3) (+1 decoration) -Evade Extender (2/3) -Rathalos Mastery (crit element) Utilizing gems, I put a Weakness exploit decoration in my gear to get 3/3, and I'm hoping to get an Evade Extender one soon as well. I put the attack boost decoration wherever it fits best. Other than that, my decorations aren't too great yet. I'm hoping to either max out attack boost via gemming or find Critical Eye gems. So far I've been using spare slots that I don't have good gems for to get whatever Element I'm using boosted up. For those who don't care about fashion or evade extender, the Dober Greaves (B) have attack boost 2 on them. Which gets you to 7/7 attack boost with only a single decoration, which neatly fits in said legs. As a bonus, the set doesn't look that bad. For those who lack a weakness exploit gem you can swap the legs from kushala to rathalos (A) and as a bonus you pick up Jump Master.
something about that clip of you fight tobi that the beginning with the sns and the beefy looking armor just amused me, like a sumo wrestle trying to fight with a steak knife.
This Monster Hunter is so streamlined and amazing that I don't think I can ever go back to the classic MH system even MHXX if it went to NA. I know all the old schoolers will cry foul, as I am one myself. Once again, thanks for the awesome uploads, Arrekz.
If you're using sword and shield, spam the normal attack and move the analog stick in a another direction. It's like using a dual blade, best to do it when the monster is down.
Here is a mixed set for you to try, it’s the one I working towards: Head: dragon king alpha with tenderizer jewel Chest: Nergigante beta with might jewel and vit jewel Gloves: vaal beta with triple medicine jewels Belt: vaal beta with 2 vit jewel Legs: Nergigante beta with mighty jewel Amulet: handycraft 3 Weapons: any rank 6 or 7 with life steal/Regen augments preferably one with a slot for a sharp jewel
Free elemental/ammo up skill FTW, it unlocks the elemental damage on all those weapons that have that element/damage grayed out, so it's not usable, with this skill it is. It makes the highest level paralysis glaive (and I'm sure other weapons and other elements) amazing when you're actually able to unlock that element.
I personally like using the waist and legs of the sinister cloth set mixed with the arms, chest and helm of vaal hazak. It gives maximum Dragon attack boost while also giving super good recovery and a little bit of handicraft
I'm rocking Odagaron with a mix of alpha and beta and a specialist spectacles for max Affinity, high sharpening, and bleeding resistance with Wyvern Long Sword second to last rarity.
Since Mix Set Mondays is back, here is a Crit Elem Set for mid High Rank Strategist Spectacles Alpha Rathalos Mail Beta Nergigante Vambraces Beta Odogaron Coil Beta Rathalos Greaves Alpha Master’s Charm Lv3 Skills are: Critical Element (Los Bonus) W. Exploit Critical Eye 7 Agitator 2 Mounting Master Plus 3 Lv. 1 Slots and a Lv. 2 Slot for extra skills I’m still experimenting on making a better set, but yeah better having high elemental damage in mid high rank is great since I use DB. I slotted 4 attack Decorations since that were the only ones I had.
Golden as usual Arekkz 😍 Love to finally see some SnS action,and running partly same build except i go for tail/partbreaking x3,atck x5 and use the sleep-breaks for sharpening and general recuperation 😜 Gonna test out bombardier tho.Keep up the good work,and looking forward to tomorrows Weapon-camp 😁
I have a cant touch this set: Earplugs Charm +3 Dragonking Eye Patch Doara Chest Piece Alpha or Beta Doara Gloves Alpha Bazelguise Waist Alpha Doara Pants Alpha. You get +5 Earplugs, immunity to all roars. You get +3 Doara set bonus, immunity to all windpress. +4 hardicarft +2 weakness exploit. Also evade extender and Evade immunity extender +2. If you cant get the Charm +3 then you need to socket it into a lv3 socket weapon. If you really want to just ignore all the bullshit, you can wear Uraagan helmet and with 1 gem reach level 3 tremor resist. It will give you so much up time on all monsters. Ideally suited for Vaal Hazak, Diablos and Bazelguise weapons (to reach white sharpness). Also kindda work with Xeno'jiva weapons because you'd have white sharpness for days (and Xeno weapons have 2 lv3 sockets if you wana socket in more handicraft or other good skills).
The closest I've gotten to a mixed set so far is mixing the alpha and beta sets for the best looking armour and a good ratio of skills and gem slots My attack charm is currently my standard charm, occasionally gets swapped out for handicraft or blast attack
so here is a good coverall set i use when lazy... dragonking eye patch kushala b chest kushala a gloves bazelgeuse b waist kushala a legs earplug charm maxed, without using slots it has weakness exploit 2, kushala daora flight, handicraft 4, evade extender 2, evade window 2, earplugs 5, i usually gem in max tremor resist and cap my weakness exploit... figured this set might be useful to some ***Note***you can easily swap out the waist to cycle for other skills, i use uragaan b waist with a partbreaker charm if i want to focus on breakin stuff, nergigante b waist with attack charm etc hope this set can help
First mix set i made on this game was for GS Consisted in odogaron healm Nergigante chest Nergigante waist Odogaron arms And Nergigante leggins All were high rank Beta pieces
So after a bit of figuring out what I want to replace of my four pieces of Odogaron armor (I'm running the Dragonking Odogaron set that Arrekz made a video on, but I already intended before seeing this video to replace the Eyepatch with a Weakness Exploit charm since the charm would get me Level 3 WE, allowing me to replace the Eyepatch with a different helmet), I decided that I don't really need Protective Polish, leaving me with a Helmet and a pair of Boots to find, and after a really long time of debating I've come to this selection of gear: Boots: Dober Greaves Alpha: Attack Boost Level 2 and Stamina Surge Level 1 Kaiser Greaves Beta: Latent Power Level 2 and a Level 1 jewel slot Helmets: Rath Soul Helm Beta: Crit Boost Level 1, 2 Level 1 jewel slots Diablos Nero Helm Alpha: Focus Level 2 (this is handy because I'm almost always using either a Greatsword or Longsword) and a Level 1 jewel slot after some consideration I think I'm going to go with Rath Soul Helm Beta and Dober Greaves now to find jewels for the damn things... lol
I got a mixset for Dual Blade You need Weapon is Fire & Ice DB Strategist Spectacles a Rathalos Mail B Kaiser Vambraces B Kaiser Coil B Kaiser greaves B Master Charm Max With the right deco you gem in it should give you Crit eye lvl 7 Crit boost Lvl 3 Weakness Exploit lvl 3 Blast Attack Lvl 2 Latent Power Lvl 2 Fortify lvl 1 With Teostra Technique your sharpness doesnt decrease with every crits you land
I really hope grank comes out when pc releases cause the grank armor sets are usually much more flashy and customizable The armor sets for low and high ranking are beautiful but arent as fantasy like which is what I hope grank does for the game
Been using Legiana Helmet and Chestplate with Bazelgeuse for the rest. Guts + Divine Blessing 3 + Luck is a great combo for Bowgunners in the end game (Beat the final boss with it, not mentioning it's name for spoiler reasons of course).
Do you plan on creating a video related to status elements and also how much a monster is weak to a status ailment or element based on the number of stars they have in the hunters notes? Such as a monster that has 2 in fire weakness and 3 in ice weakness. How much does that mean its weak to fire over ice?
I used the baan beta waist with the bazel legs to get bombadier level 3. Then I gemmed into maintenance skill for the apothecary mantel. Max out that sleep element application
im pretty sure you need to buy cosmetics in the store..even deluxe edition comes with the samurai costume which is you actually, buy it.. i know content dlc is free but not cosmetics
I have simple mix set Dragonslayer helm, dober b top, odogaron a gloved, nergi b waist, dober b bottom, Master's Charm(max) It gives Lvl 6 Atk Boost Lvl 2 Weakness Exploit, Lvl 4 Critical Eye and have 4 slots I put 1 Atk Boost and 1 Weakness Exploit decoration to max out the skill :) If you want, change the gloves to Xeno a for Lvl1 Critical Boost but the Critical Eye will go down to Lvl3 EDIT: Its purely for very offensive playstyle it doest have any defense stuff so...
Fashion > Function
Wisest words of wisdom
It's not even debatable
Yes
Agreed
thanks for carting
YOU CAN FILTER IT?!?!?! "A whole new worrrrllld."
Nathan Allen a dazzling place I never knewwww
Took me like 16 mins to kill kushala dora...........bc my friends have 99 HR
Ikr!? I had no idea about that, I'm totally gonna do that when I next play, I've been meaning to start working on a build for my bow style
First thing i learn in this video...although i sorted in investigations and stuff,never tried in the smithy so lost lot of time going through the pieces looking for the skills....
Holy shit, I didn't know you could highlight armours by skills at the smithy. The amount of time I've wasted going back and forth between armour sets... Thanks for the info.
I just wasted more than 1 hour today doing exactly that
poor dude
It was actually a feature
3 years of playing and i only just now learned this 🙃
Smh. We all know that the most important part of mixed sets is higher tier Fashion Hunter play.
Unfortunately most good skills on sets aren't easily divided into chest/waist and gloves/boots/helm so you dont get fairly coherent sets like mikumiku mi or baibai kaiser. You end up with stuff like waist and legs of one monster and three unrelated pieces now. Also only having 31 monsters and something like 40 armor sets really hinders good set making compared to 90+ in mh4u.
Won't more and more sets become available as more monsters get added through dlc?
Donteatmyshrooms yes
Tykras well to be honest in the previous games they could have all those monsters because they could easily implement monsters from previous title due to being similar , while in mhw they have to be remade from the ground up
Capcom should release they're own mix set and put it as an event
When you play an unreasonable amount like me, it all comes down to slots. You have all the skills you could want on jewels, so armor is always beta and you have to choose if the 3 set bonuses are worth the sub-optimal skills. A great problem to have in a great game.
Side note if you don't think you'll remember the pieces to your custom set, you can add them to the wish list. Doing this will add a little symbol to the crafting list for those specific armour pieces which makes it much easier to locate. It's also a good way to keep track of the materials required to build the set
MIXED SET MONDAY CONFIRMED!
Here is my guard lance set!
Barroth helm (a)
Kushula cista (b)
Uragaan vambraces (a)
Uragaan coil (b)
Uragaan greaves (a)
Handicraft charm 3
3 speed sharpen decorations
3 weakness exploit decorations
1 protective polish decoration
Lance: Xeno Zauta
This set gives:
Guard level 5
Guard up
Handicraft level 5
Speed sharpen level 3
Weakness exploit level 3
Protective Polish
Very nice set for lancers!
Bakuur is the name of this set since it uses Barroth, kushula, and uragaan pieces.
Edit: Hearing that there is a guard up decoration or charm? Not sure, but if somebody finds something like this I'd love to make a set around it!
No gem?
Weenie The Pooh 3 weakness exploit decorations and 3 speed sharpen decorations
I'm gonna try this set with Charge Blade.
uragaan mastery soo OP i can block anything from xeno jiva lol
You could just use a guard gem or the rank 8 charm with guard up and instead of the 3 uragaan pieces for the same effect.
#BringBackTransmog
I seriously hate that the armor I like the look of has next to useless skills and no gem slots compared to later on. That's to say nothing of the defense loss.
SupertankerZambdaMK3 capcom said they are looking into doing it
I really hope they do something about this. Fashion Hunters is priority for me :((
I miss my armor with earplugs and gluttony skills but I don’t like when the armor doesn’t match and I’m not willing to sacrifice a cool looking piece of armor :(
Same here, buddy. I refuse to wear mixed sets that look awful, regardless of how good the skills may be. Not like it's ever really mattered. Full Xeno set is quite neat for my insect glaive anyway.
Diego Gc A big reason why its been harder for me to beat the elders lol. I can do quite a lot but I can make and use mixed sets, i jusy hate it when they look awful together
Nia Tahl I use insect glaive sometimes too I’ll give it a try to the xeno set. I wish we could do like with the samurai set, to apply a specific look of a piece of armor you own to another one, pure cosmetic without loosing any stat or at least to change the color and not just some detail on it.
Halan Badilla dame with the elders haha I was forced to level up my orogaron set but it is a good one ps4 or Xbox one??
Haydon Willis hey that does sounds good, I’ll give it a try thanks!!!!!!!!
Loving the new skill system in this game. Already have my dober and nergigante mixed set for that attack +7
The Bow Sniper I have a slightly similar setup. Bazel helm, dober chest, bazel coil, nerg gloves, and dober boots with a level 3 attack charm. 7 attack, 4 earplugs, 2 challenger and some affinity.
Using long sword with Dragon king, Dober mail B, Kaiser Vambraces B, Nergigante coil B, Dober greaves B, and master charm, with some gems. Comes out to attack 7, Crit eye 4, weakness exploit 3, slugger 2, stamina thief 1, latent power 1. Works out well for me.
Yea. I go mainly for style ....
Brandon Taylor
Eyepatch
Dober chest
Nerg A arms
Nerg B waist
Nerg A Legs
Doesn't look bad on female (I have a weakness exploit jewel on waist)
I use Rathalos legs on male instead (no weakness exploit jewel on male)
Attack +5(6) (+1 from free attack jewel, get another for full +7)
Weakness Exploit Lv3
Agitator Lv3
Maximum Might Lv1
Pair that up with Odogaron LBG and you have a 95% crit chance (100% by Agitator when monster is enraged)
Flinch Free Lv1 is almost mandatory if playing with randoms, prevents interruptions from setting Wyvernblast, you still have a Lv3 slot to mess with (Crit Boost maybe)
Otakumi Anime [Hal] I suggest for bow to ignore earplug if your playing with your palico ( it will occasionally give you earplugs with the horn equipped assuming it’s leveled up as well as reduced stamina consumption )
It's simple how you make a mixed set you grab one of each item and there you go it's mixed ;-) LOL PS I love all your videos Aric's keep up the great work
Bagelgrease head waist and arms gives earplugs 5 and guts, kushala chest, death stench legs handicraft 4 plus assortment of other abilities and slots
Steven Varvais That's soundstage familiar to my mixes set. I have bazel armor the head arm and waist and i have damacaus body for focus and Diablos legs for tremor res
Its name is "Bagelgrease" now.
I tend to go for 3 pieces of daora for the nullify wind pressure and the two earplugs armor from bazel with an evade window +3 charm
Steven Varvais use the kushula chest or the death stench legs with a handicraft jewel 3.
Jeffry De Leon That reminds me of VenturfulTortue set that he made on his channel
Rip fashion hunting in this game
Dominik Vogl for real. A simple transmog could fix this
Dominik Vogl i hear they might add transmoging with G rank
Yeah guys we need transmog for real, that'd be awesome!
You can fashion hunt if you don't get hit by the monster :)
No I'm not that good lol
I had no idea I could sort the armors by skill, very nice!
Those people saying that they don't like it when sets don't match.. its fine , once you reach a higher level, there will be more layered armor for you to choose from.
I tried to make a hell lot of sets for different weapon and play style, but after a hundred hours into the game, now I mainly use a fashion set with average skill against most monsters and only use a certain fugly set when I fight a tough tempered monster because I don't really care whether I clear the hunt in 5 minutes or 7 mintures
にゃあエイリアンMeowAlien then there’s me still taking 20-30 mins for a hunt *sigh*
Dumb mix set,
Hornetaur beta head, whatever rank 1 gem
Rathalos beta chest, water attack gem
Rathalos alpha boots,
Jyura beta gloves, water attack gem
Tzitzi alpha pants
Sword n shield Rogue Wave III Affinity sliding gem
Maximum might charm
Skills include Dung master, Weakness exploit 3, Jump master, Critical element 2 set bonus, Water attack 5, Wide range 2, Affinity sliding, Maximum might 3.
My nearly completely useless meme is complete. Car wash build. Crits do bonus water damage and water damage is buffed with water attack 5.
High affinity, jump master and sliding to reach all the hard to wash places. And dung master in case you need to get something filthy XD
Loving the content bro! You and Datto are killing it with these MHW vids! Just tried making my own mixed set last night. Testing it out today versus Nergigante.
JustJarrod who is datto if you don't mind me asking? Would like to check out his vids too
He's very new to covering MH. Used to only focus on Destiny and Destiny 2, but Destiny 2's recent fallout has pushed him into covering other games he enjoys, MHW being one of them. Here's his channel. th-cam.com/users/DattoDoesDestiny
Quelana of Izalith datto is just easy to listen to. Informative and very down to earth.
Been following Arekkz since The Division. Recently subbed. But I agree Arekkz and Datto are doing great content.
Great ideas and series. Looking forward to the future.
Funny because when I was asked by one of my friends who my favorite youtubers were, my list of three included both of them.
i was so overwhelmed on how i should build my armor pieces. this video is really helpful!
Wow! I really wanted to start making my own sets, but I didn’t know how to even start. Thank you for this! I’m so excited to start building!!
I've watched so many of these videos from you, you're a lifesaver thank you so much.
No way I'm using those mixed sets. Having a cool hunter is a rule of mh. (Monsters' re going to kick my ass, but who cares, I AM FASHION MANNN)
The real endgame is finding mix sets that both give you good skills, and don't look like a fashion show threw up on your hunter.
Manu dem i agree, i cant bring myself to use mixed sets, i prefer full sets all the time.
500+ hours NEVER knew you could filter armor by skills...
Thanks for the how to make it. I’m now more interested in the why you wanted sleep bombing. What goes into the thought process behind the “why” you want a specific skill. Thanks!
I have over 100 hours in this game already, and did not not you can sort by skills. Wow I need to pay attention. Thanks for the good info!
Once they Add the ability to Transmogrify armour, this will be so much better.
Won't have to worry about how the Set looks, can just change it after ;P
Super helpful video! Just finished the game last night and am diving in, headfirst, to building out different loadouts.
Super valuable Infos in this video! Plus it's really entertaining to see the process of your building process. Thx a lot for that!
Keep it coming. Your vids are so helpful. Monster Hunter Forever!!!
This was helpful fr. I had no idea about the r3 thing. Smh
Love all your MHW content man! Keep it coming, it's helping me immensely as a MH noob showing up to the party late!
Got a great, stylish, simple and effective GS set for you that I haven't seen yet.
I've dubbed it Beastman:
Bazel Helm B
Dober Mail B
Bazel Vambraces A
Bazel Coil B
Bazel Greaves A
-Attack Charm Lv3 (max)
-Great Wyvern Jawblade
Right off the bat you get:
Attack Boost Lv5
Earplugs Lv5 (max)
Critical Draw Lv3 (max)
Bombardier Lv2
And you get *FOUR* Lv3 jewel slots and TWO Lv1 slots.
Use those Lv1s to max out Attack Boost to Lv7.
if I ever find Critical Boost jewels you can bet that I'll be maxing it at Lv3 for +40% Crit Damage.
Maybe I'll throw a Focus jewel in that last slot for some easier charged setups.
This is THE endgame GS set, and you heard it here first folks (I think).
You could just use Nerg's GS instead if you need that High elderseal, but the look was just meant for the jawblade imo
Romdog G a GS set without focus? Don’t get me wrong this set looks pretty good but I got so used to the focus timings lol
Mario Flores
Hey, guy... *FOUR* Lv3 slots.
You can get your Focus if you have the jewels.
Worth noticing too, you should save your mix set on the Manage Armor page, so you can go back to it later!
Man the database they have created is sublime, my OCD salutes you.
'Mixed Set Monday' wow right in the 3DS nostalgia feels.. Completely forgot about that series, looking forward to epic sets in MHW given mixes are definitely my jam so far.
This new armor skill system makes mix set building much easier and fun. I'm currently using zorah helmet and pink Ian waist for handicraft, and the rest is uragaan for that guard and guard up, finishing off with a guard charm so I can get guard 5, handicraft 2 and guard up, with a bunch of decoration slots (a double, a triple, and 3 singles) for customization. It's perfect for lancing, which is my main weapon.
Love the content, always showing how not just end result. Love the channel as always.
Awesome videos! Started tuning in for your Destiny 2 videos and so glad to see you covering MHW. Can't wait for the next Weapon Workshop and WW Plus
I am really happy at how much customization and possibilities we got in the vanilla version of the game, imagine when more and more and more monsters get added down the line it will be glorious!!
Kulu “a” headpiece, mail
Zorah “b” claws,spine
Zorah “a” spurs
Gives
Bombardier, earplugs,free elem, crit eye, weakness exploit, fortify
I don’t know how good but I tried maybe you’ll like it also gives crit element I believe too
im just in early high rank right now and I'm currently running a mixed set for power element charge blade it isn't perfect by any means, but its actually pretty good as long as you don't get hit.
Rath Soul helm B
Rathalos Mail B
Rathalos vambraces A (isn't necessary to core build, just had extra rathalos bits)
Anja coil A
Anja Greaves A
exploiter charm
gives weakness exploit +3, Artillery +3, Fire Resist +3 (+2 without vambraces), Crit boost +1, attack boost +1 (+0 without vambraces), crit element, and adrenaline.
A good replacement for the vambraces in this set would probably be Xeno'jiiva Claws A which would give you Crit boost +2 instead of +1 and also would give Flinch Free +1.
So glad I subscribed, all your vids are so educational so we as players can become better
Another thing that might help you make your mixed sets is when you're in the forge equipment screen, you can press R2 a few times to switch to the skills tab on the right side of the screen. It'll show you all your currently equipped and previewed skills, and their levels in a little bit more of a visual list. It'll also show you exactly what skills you gain and what you lose when looking at different pieces in the menu by highlighting the skill in green or red. From there you can still hit the touch button to get a detailed explanation of your skills when you need.
Having that list on the right really helped me out making my paralyze sword and shield set. Hope that helps you too!
Happy hunting!
Wow! I am amazed of how easy for us to build our own mixed set in MHWorld! Thanks for sharing this! Thumbs up!
My current loadout:
-Rathalos Helm (B)
-Rathalos Mail (B)
-Kushala Grip (B)
-Nergigante Coil (B)
Legs have a ton of freedom, as the big "goals" I had with the set are done at this point. I went with a quality of life improvement, as I play Switch Axe.
-Kushala Krus (B)
-Evasion Charm (3)
With this set including decorations I get:
-Evade Window (5/5)
-Attack Boost (5/7) (+1 decoration)
-Weakness Exploit (3/3) (+1 decoration)
-Evade Extender (2/3)
-Rathalos Mastery (crit element)
Utilizing gems, I put a Weakness exploit decoration in my gear to get 3/3, and I'm hoping to get an Evade Extender one soon as well. I put the attack boost decoration wherever it fits best. Other than that, my decorations aren't too great yet. I'm hoping to either max out attack boost via gemming or find Critical Eye gems. So far I've been using spare slots that I don't have good gems for to get whatever Element I'm using boosted up.
For those who don't care about fashion or evade extender, the Dober Greaves (B) have attack boost 2 on them. Which gets you to 7/7 attack boost with only a single decoration, which neatly fits in said legs.
As a bonus, the set doesn't look that bad.
For those who lack a weakness exploit gem you can swap the legs from kushala to rathalos (A) and as a bonus you pick up Jump Master.
something about that clip of you fight tobi that the beginning with the sns and the beefy looking armor just amused me, like a sumo wrestle trying to fight with a steak knife.
This Monster Hunter is so streamlined and amazing that I don't think I can ever go back to the classic MH system even MHXX if it went to NA. I know all the old schoolers will cry foul, as I am one myself. Once again, thanks for the awesome uploads, Arrekz.
MIX SET MONDAYS!!!! Can’t wait for this!!!!! Time to grind and make cool sets for MMM!!!
Great work dude! Fun to watch all your videos and they are very helpful. Thank you, thank you!
If you're using sword and shield, spam the normal attack and move the analog stick in a another direction. It's like using a dual blade, best to do it when the monster is down.
Would love if they made a option for skin set so a mixed set can look like a full set
Here is a mixed set for you to try, it’s the one I working towards:
Head: dragon king alpha with tenderizer jewel
Chest: Nergigante beta with might jewel and vit jewel
Gloves: vaal beta with triple medicine jewels
Belt: vaal beta with 2 vit jewel
Legs: Nergigante beta with mighty jewel
Amulet: handycraft 3
Weapons: any rank 6 or 7 with life steal/Regen augments preferably one with a slot for a sharp jewel
HI AREKKZ! Thanks so much for all of the help and tips
You can also wishlist armor piece you going to make for check all the materials it need too.
I've got a good Bazel/Zorah mix right now. Gives me boosted blast, earplugs, and protection from a OHKO.
Thanks for the help! I made a Maximum Might dual blades set that carried me to endgame.
Obvious joke.
This set does also look very good imo. There are many pieces that give the same effect so fashion is still possible.
I really wish they'd implement a transmog system, that'd honestly make the game for me
They are with G rank
SirProdigle holy crap really? Like for just g rank armors or just in the same update
I believe it's for everything. They haven't said much about it and G rank is still a fair way away sadly
SirProdigle damn. Well thanks for telling me lol, I'm officially hyped. Appreciate it
HYPE
Nice tutorial man ! This vid help me out a lot. Very informative and well put together.
Free elemental/ammo up skill FTW, it unlocks the elemental damage on all those weapons that have that element/damage grayed out, so it's not usable, with this skill it is. It makes the highest level paralysis glaive (and I'm sure other weapons and other elements) amazing when you're actually able to unlock that element.
Gosh, you're perfect just in time when i'm confused and want to make one of these
I personally like using the waist and legs of the sinister cloth set mixed with the arms, chest and helm of vaal hazak. It gives maximum Dragon attack boost while also giving super good recovery and a little bit of handicraft
Mix setting is probably one of my favorite features of monster hunter
Oh yeah love me some mixed sets looks like they won't be an insane pain to make as much as they were now
You can get Bombadier lvl 3 from pulverising feather. It should help with making more space in the build for gems.
Had no idea about the armoury sorting with R3 thanks man!
I would like to say that I have a nice GS set, Crit Draw 3, Focus 3, Tenderizer 2, and 7 tier 1 gem slots. The boots can be anything you want.
Never knew this, this will help out so much! Thanks
I'm rocking Odagaron with a mix of alpha and beta and a specialist spectacles for max Affinity, high sharpening, and bleeding resistance with Wyvern Long Sword second to last rarity.
Had no idea about the sorting by skill, thanks :D
Who else remembers the ceadeus/Gigginox combo armor for the Kelbi bow in MH3U 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Kelbi bow = best bow
Slingshot 👌
Never forget the legendary kelbi bow.
Since Mix Set Mondays is back, here is a Crit Elem Set for mid High Rank
Strategist Spectacles Alpha
Rathalos Mail Beta
Nergigante Vambraces Beta
Odogaron Coil Beta
Rathalos Greaves Alpha
Master’s Charm Lv3
Skills are:
Critical Element (Los Bonus)
W. Exploit
Critical Eye 7
Agitator 2
Mounting Master
Plus 3 Lv. 1 Slots and a Lv. 2 Slot for extra skills
I’m still experimenting on making a better set, but yeah better having high elemental damage in mid high rank is great since I use DB. I slotted 4 attack Decorations since that were the only ones I had.
Plan on working out a paralysis lancer set after seeing how easy it is to lay it all out.
Golden as usual Arekkz 😍 Love to finally see some SnS action,and running partly same build except i go for tail/partbreaking x3,atck x5 and use the sleep-breaks for sharpening and general recuperation 😜 Gonna test out bombardier tho.Keep up the good work,and looking forward to tomorrows Weapon-camp 😁
Øyvind Fredriksen ur not running a build anything like this lol u listed totally different stuff
lee manvell Hehe Yeah just using same SnS and a little bit sleep-up ;) Rest is completely diff yes :)
I have a cant touch this set:
Earplugs Charm +3
Dragonking Eye Patch
Doara Chest Piece Alpha or Beta
Doara Gloves Alpha
Bazelguise Waist Alpha
Doara Pants Alpha.
You get +5 Earplugs, immunity to all roars. You get +3 Doara set bonus, immunity to all windpress. +4 hardicarft +2 weakness exploit. Also evade extender and Evade immunity extender +2. If you cant get the Charm +3 then you need to socket it into a lv3 socket weapon. If you really want to just ignore all the bullshit, you can wear Uraagan helmet and with 1 gem reach level 3 tremor resist. It will give you so much up time on all monsters.
Ideally suited for Vaal Hazak, Diablos and Bazelguise weapons (to reach white sharpness). Also kindda work with Xeno'jiva weapons because you'd have white sharpness for days (and Xeno weapons have 2 lv3 sockets if you wana socket in more handicraft or other good skills).
Most knowledgeable content for mhw besides gaijin hunter on TH-cam right now
Would love a vid of your take on a mixed hammer set
Ur so good explaining stuff up, loving it
This is actually very useful tmr I'll try and build my own mixed set
The closest I've gotten to a mixed set so far is mixing the alpha and beta sets for the best looking armour and a good ratio of skills and gem slots
My attack charm is currently my standard charm, occasionally gets swapped out for handicraft or blast attack
Capcom thought of everything with this one. I can't wait til G-Rank comes out.
It is called master rank in Iceborne
so here is a good coverall set i use when lazy...
dragonking eye patch
kushala b chest
kushala a gloves
bazelgeuse b waist
kushala a legs
earplug charm maxed,
without using slots it has weakness exploit 2, kushala daora flight, handicraft 4, evade extender 2, evade window 2, earplugs 5, i usually gem in max tremor resist and cap my weakness exploit...
figured this set might be useful to some
***Note***you can easily swap out the waist to cycle for other skills, i use uragaan b waist with a partbreaker charm if i want to focus on breakin stuff, nergigante b waist with attack charm etc
hope this set can help
3th party tools such as athenas armour calculator are realy usefull in order to optimize your set
First mix set i made on this game was for GS
Consisted in
odogaron healm
Nergigante chest
Nergigante waist
Odogaron arms
And Nergigante leggins
All were high rank Beta pieces
I learned so many new things in this video; I am new to MHW and these videos are extremely helpful to me. Thank you ^_^
So after a bit of figuring out what I want to replace of my four pieces of Odogaron armor (I'm running the Dragonking Odogaron set that Arrekz made a video on, but I already intended before seeing this video to replace the Eyepatch with a Weakness Exploit charm since the charm would get me Level 3 WE, allowing me to replace the Eyepatch with a different helmet), I decided that I don't really need Protective Polish, leaving me with a Helmet and a pair of Boots to find, and after a really long time of debating I've come to this selection of gear:
Boots:
Dober Greaves Alpha: Attack Boost Level 2 and Stamina Surge Level 1
Kaiser Greaves Beta: Latent Power Level 2 and a Level 1 jewel slot
Helmets:
Rath Soul Helm Beta: Crit Boost Level 1, 2 Level 1 jewel slots
Diablos Nero Helm Alpha: Focus Level 2 (this is handy because I'm almost always using either a Greatsword or Longsword) and a Level 1 jewel slot
after some consideration I think I'm going to go with Rath Soul Helm Beta and Dober Greaves
now to find jewels for the damn things... lol
ok this new way to make mixed sets helps me greatly
I got a mixset for Dual Blade
You need
Weapon is Fire & Ice DB
Strategist Spectacles a
Rathalos Mail B
Kaiser Vambraces B
Kaiser Coil B
Kaiser greaves B
Master Charm Max
With the right deco you gem in it should give you
Crit eye lvl 7
Crit boost Lvl 3
Weakness Exploit lvl 3
Blast Attack Lvl 2
Latent Power Lvl 2
Fortify lvl 1
With Teostra Technique your sharpness doesnt decrease with every crits you land
I really hope grank comes out when pc releases cause the grank armor sets are usually much more flashy and customizable
The armor sets for low and high ranking are beautiful but arent as fantasy like which is what I hope grank does for the game
Made an extremely blast heavy bazelgeuse long sword set and I love it
Been using Legiana Helmet and Chestplate with Bazelgeuse for the rest. Guts + Divine Blessing 3 + Luck is a great combo for Bowgunners in the end game (Beat the final boss with it, not mentioning it's name for spoiler reasons of course).
Do you plan on creating a video related to status elements and also how much a monster is weak to a status ailment or element based on the number of stars they have in the hunters notes? Such as a monster that has 2 in fire weakness and 3 in ice weakness. How much does that mean its weak to fire over ice?
I used the baan beta waist with the bazel legs to get bombadier level 3. Then I gemmed into maintenance skill for the apothecary mantel. Max out that sleep element application
Cant wait for mixed set mondays. They were great for MHGen and I build quite a lot of them :3
Cant w8 for mixed set monday already recreated the farming set and its great :) this one is next on my list
Maybe critical status could be helpful for that set you were making. It would further increase how quickly you put the monster to sleep.
I have a more important question. How do I make this shit look good?
METEORUS capcom: buy our dlc costumes lol
pitwan desu there is no buy
im pretty sure you need to buy cosmetics in the store..even deluxe edition comes with the samurai costume which is you actually, buy it.. i know content dlc is free but not cosmetics
The real answer: you pray the skills you want look good when combined together, or learn to live with either inferior skills, or looking ugly.
FASHION OVER FUNCTION BB
Mixed set monday is back! Hooray!
It's funny I recently commented asking about creating a sleep bombing set and this video comes out as if to answer it.
I have simple mix set
Dragonslayer helm, dober b top, odogaron a gloved, nergi b waist, dober b bottom, Master's Charm(max)
It gives Lvl 6 Atk Boost Lvl 2 Weakness Exploit, Lvl 4 Critical Eye and have 4 slots
I put 1 Atk Boost and 1 Weakness Exploit decoration to max out the skill :)
If you want, change the gloves to Xeno a for Lvl1 Critical Boost but the Critical Eye will go down to Lvl3
EDIT: Its purely for very offensive playstyle it doest have any defense stuff so...
