Oldschool MH Frontier

Would you guys like if I made a topic with all the Season update era Low Rank and High Rank mixed sets that are still craftable at MHFZ?

I have a lot of them made already, but can craft some more and do a big and more complete topic if ppl wanna see it,
People sure wanna get to G rank soon and all, but the HR part is still my fave so I believe would be fun to have these sets registered

What you all think?

[Grender]

I'd say go ahead!

[Berry]

There is a lot of armors sets to dig through and the likes so a breakdown of anything like pre-G sets I think would be very helpful. One especially for Decorations. I've actually have compiled a simple list for G Decos specifically myself for reference - https://pastebin.com/mjMjikWF

[arkenDuelcalion]

that would be awesome!! i love stumbling across blog posts online featuring some popular template sets from the seasons era, but i haven't seen anything like those in english. i'd love to help contribute some of the sets i've found, if you'd like any help!

Honestly? Even now this is by far my preferred way to play MHFZ. I love taking my time in low/high rank! High rank moreso than low rank, because the general power increase means you shred most of the old fights in LR :p

oh, that's pretty nice and helpful
HR5 G Decos are useful stuff, even if a bit expensive

That would help yes! Getting the ones you found with everything I've already craft and the ones I still didn't work but have in my notes will get us a big list (:

What do you think it would be easier?
If you send them all here I can ask the admin later, after I saved all the info, to archive this topic so I can make the one with all the sets

Otherwise we may exchange info thru discord or so

sorry for the late response! but i think sharing these sets might be easier through the forums here, since i can separate them out via spoiler tags. let me know if you'd prefer to have this stuff some other way

You could make an alternate version with the Transcendent Piercings VIII upon hitting HR6, which would see Autotracker get replaced by Evasion+2.

Notes: Wow funny armor skill boost.
This template can be upgraded once you reach Supremacy monsters -- by upgrading each piece (except the chameleos waist) to FX and replacing the SP helm with the Transcendental Piercing VI. At the cost of Fencing+1 and the ability to use an SP decoration, you get Dragon Wind Breaker and Adrenaline+2 as well as High-Grade Earplugs getting upgrading to Super Earplugs (before muscle boost!), all while keeping the 6 open slots on the waist and legs + not needing any weapon slots.

Notes: The original design of the Uowao template dates back to Forward 4, when Heavenly Storm armor was introduced, and used Gou Kirin arms + Gou Teostra legs instead of Odibatorasu pieces. These 4 were the only Heavenly Storm armor pieces for each spot that each gave points in Artisan at the time, so the "Ubuwafu" template quickly became famous for giving both Sharpness +1 and the skill boost armor effect. Once Forward 5 hit, the template was updated using the new Odi equipment.

Notes: Marathon Runner and Stamina Recovery Up are super fun with DBs, especially since Mega Dash Juice only lasts 1 minute with this weapon class. These Kushala DB's in particular don't get too much from Sharpness+1, so I was able to drop it to help cram more skills within the 10 skill cap.
