What is Armor?

Armor in Monster Hunter Wilds determines a hunter's defensive strength, elemental resistances and overall appearance. Each piece of armor has individual stats that contribute to the overall effectiveness of the full set. Defense reduces the physical damage taken from monsters, while resistances affect how much damage is received from elemental attacks, such as fire, water, thunder, ice, and dragon. A well-balanced armor set can greatly improve survivability in hunts.

There are a total of five pieces that can be worn which are:

Head
Chest
Arms
Waist
Legs

How do you obtain Armor?

Armor is crafted at the smithy using various materials, which are obtained by hunting specific monsters. These creatures drop different types of materials upon defeat, which can then be used to forge armor and other crafted items.

Additionally, some materials can be gathered by carving parts of the monster, such as its tail.
