Low rank armor is useless because they have high-rank counterparts that are DIRECTLY SUPERIOR to them. There is almost no point collecting these.If you think you’re “having a hard time” and need “other skills” to get past low rank, you really don’t. Simply spend a little more upgrade stones on the recommended set below.I’d rather save low rank materials when you eventually experiment with other weapons.

Why this set?
It’s very very easy to obtain and has some extremely powerful early game effects:. Attack Boost 3is titanic in the very early game.
Speed Sharpening helps with piss poor early Sharpness. Fortify carries you during the learning process, and helps salvage otherwise failed hunts. Affinity Sliding is GODLIKE when you can abuse it.The above set is all you need.
Low Rank Weapon Tree? I won’t tell you how to play, but if you’re looking for advice– IMO AVOID Elemental Weapons during story mode.You want a weapon that’s great “ALWAYS”, look for any Elementless viable weapon. Blast or Paralysis is OK too. It’s better to focus on and own one (max two) weapons that are great against EVERY MONSTER.MHW High Rank Armor Progression v1When you first step into HR, right into about 7. quests.IMO, the most efficient way to progress through high-rank is a “multi step process”. Here is the FIRST STEP INTO HIGH RANK Armor set.

First of all – ALL THE MATERIALS COME from GARBAGE TIER MONSTERS, wildlife, and resource nodes. If you can’t craft one of these, simply use any of the low rank options above to fill up your slots.Remember you get a free Attack Boost jewel.

Why this set?It’s very, very easy to obtain, and has some extremely powerful early game effects:. Attack Boost 4gives +5% affinity, and AB is one of the better skills while you’re still relatively weak.
Weakness Exploit is the best skill in the game, and you can get 1 point off of a Kulu helmet!. Fortify is still good while learning. Amazing at salvaging otherwise failed hunts.
Replace it if you want, or dedicate a small decoration slot to it if you ever get the gem. Speed Sharpening 3 helps with terrible sharpness early on, as well as preserve any sliver of Blue Sharpness you may have. Other skills like Defense Boost and Fire Resistance are welcome little boosts along the way.High Rank Weapon Tree?Again my advice stands.

Avoid Elemental Weapons for now. As exciting as they are, I would rather build up weapons that are ALWAYS EFFECTIVE. Go for any weapon that fits the Elementless setup. I suppose I can make a list of the best weapons for the elementless setup. You want something great against ANY MONSTER.
Status weapons are “fine” I suppose. I lean towards Paralysis and Blast for general purpose weaponry.MHW High Rank Armor Progression v27.+ Quests, up to beating Xeno’Jiiva.As I said, it’s multi-step process. It’s around this time curiosity and ideas set in, and you want to craft ALL THE THINGS! While I don’t blame you – I don’t think it’s the best use of time YET, as you want to amass USEFUL pieces of gear for ANY WEAPON TYPE OR HUNT.Safe and Useful Pieces to mix and match:. No “ Niche Skills” (resistances, elemental attack, gathering related).
Have “ a good skill” + slot. Look for Weakness Exploit and Handicraft (Great skills)Lots of customization and personalization go into a build.If you need inspiration or a starting point,here are two sample build paths: Do you need Handicraft 5 for white Sharpness?

Most weapons with empty space on the sharpness bar can be improved to white with Handicraft 5.There are many ways to get Handicraft 5.
The problem is you will not have a Handicraft decoration, and you’re FAR from a Handicraft L3 charm. So for now here are your options. Handicraft Charm (1), Kushala Body (2), Death’s Stench Boot (2). Handicraft Charm II (2), Kushala Body (2), Rath Heart Legs (1). Handicraft Charm II (2), Kushala Body (2), Damascus Hands (1).
Handicraft Charm II (2), Death’s Stench Boot (2), Rath Heart Legs (1). Zombie hunters 2013. Handicraft Charm II (2), Death’s Stench Boot (2), Damascus Hands (1)Crafting all of these pieces will help you mix and match in the future. No need Handicraft 5 (Using Nergigante Weapon or similar)Weapons with excellent Blue Sharpness levels, but cannot upgrade to white (Nergi, most Barroth, most Jagras or weapons with natural full white) do not need Handicraft 5 at all. So we look for DPS elsewhere.

Pure stats!For any armor set – I follow this 99% of the time (unless making a razor specific “niche” hard counter type of build): ARMOR SKILLS CONTAIN YOUR BASIC DPS AND UTILITY SKILLS.USE DECORATIONS TO STACK NICHE DEFENSE AND RESISTANCES. While I can give you ideas – I cannot possibly outline every possible viable build PATH for every weapon type out there. I hope this jump starts your exploration of builds. Endgame Armor (Transition)As you amass more decorations (which are the cornerstone of fully fleshing out a build) and have the capability to farm all weapons and armor, you will inevitably zero in to many different “build templates” that you can edit for more offense or more defense.
These finely tuned builds are what I would consider end-game.As for what these are, I can’t cram them in here – ENDGAME BUILDS WILL BE IN A SEPARATE PAGE EACH!Good luck and check out our other! Like us on for more gaming updates!Watch our vids on!Follow us on! Help TeamBRG out! Go to to know more!
Make your character powerful with minimum gold
Make your character powerful with minimum goldFirst of all, I need to say, one man’s meat is another man’s poison, different players may have different opinions upon the attributes, well, here, I just offer some suggestion about choosing gears and forging:At the beginning, let me introduce all kinds of attributes in GWO (if you are already familiar with them, just skip and ignore it):
1 attack: increase the basic attack of your character, you can upgrade the lv of this attribute by strengthening
2 magic attack: increase the basic magic attack of your character, you can upgrade the lv of this attribute by strengthening
3 physical damage: increase the final damage against your target
4 magic damage: increase the final magic damage against your target
Note: the difference between damage and attack is: attack increases your attack power directly while damage magnify the effect against your target, for example, if the original attack is 100, then you get a piece of gear with lv1 attack(+19), your attack become 119; and, if you replace it with another one with lv1(+1%) damage, your attack will be still 100, but you can get the extra 1% damage bonus.
5 hit rate: if your hit rate is not enough, there would be lots of miss, it apples to magic attack as well in the game
6 dodge: opposite to hit rate, it applies to magic damage as well in this game
7 critical: increase the rate of critical strike, the damage of critical strike is 150% of the normal one. This attribute is perfect for PVP.
8 critical resistance: opposite to critical, decrease the rate of suffering critical strike against your character
9 hit rating buff: increase the success rate of those skills that can add negative buff to your target, it can’t increase your hit rate
10 dodge rating buff: opposite to hit rating buff, it decrease the rate of suffering negative buff
11: increase healing: increase the power of healing skill, so, it is only for priest but useless for others
12 healing done: increase the effect when your character is healed no matter by healing skills or potion.
13 max HP/MP: add the maximum HP /MP of your character, you can upgrade the lv of this attribute by strengthening
14 damage absorption: deduct the final damage your character suffer, including physical damage and magic damage
15 HP /MP res speed: increase HP/MP restoration speed, it is good for PVE when you use AFK system
16 defense/magic defense: simple, increase physical/magic defense.
The only code of choosing gears is: WHAT DO YOU NEED MOST? For example, take champion for instance, most of us consider critical, is the most important, then attack, damage, hit rate, max HP, after these you can consider critical resistance ,dodge, max HP, at last , you can consider max HP, healing done, defense , hit rating buff etc. So, you can simply seek for attributes according to the priority. F or example, looking at weapon, check it whether there is the option critical first, looking at pare of boots, check it whether there is the option dodge, critical resistance or max HP since you cant get critical or attack from boots, besides these 3 attributes, you can consider damage absorption, however, if you use potion frequently or act in raid, increase healing would be better.
And my suggestion is:
Weapon: critical, lv4 attack, physical damage or hit rate or lv4 max HP
Helmet: critical , hit rate, lv4 attack, lv4 max HP
Armor: Dodge, lv4 defense, lv4 max HP, lv4 damage absorption or healing done
Belt: critical resistance, lv4max HP, lv4 defense, lv4 magic defense
Boots: dodge, critical resistance,lv4 max HP, lv4damage absorption
Leggings: dodge, critical resistance, lv4 defense, lv4 magic defense, (healing done is good as well)
Gloves: critical, lv4 attack, physical damage, hit rate
Cuff: hit rate, critical resistance, lv4 defense or magic defense or healing done
Amulet: dodge, critical resistance,lv4 max MP(you need enough MP to cast AOE skills),
Rings: critical, physical damage, lv4 attack lv4 and max HP
It is hard to find all perfect gears, sometimes items with 3 options are better than ones with 4 for you have to delete the useless attribute at last.
How can I forge my gears with minimum gold?
