Monster Hunter World Armor: Every set, listed

Learn all of the ways you can wear your foes.

Monster Hunter: World is having a resurgence, so now is the perfect time to double-check your armor lists. There are a lot of different ways to mash monster parts together to make different protective gear, as it turns out.

There are 354 armor sets across the three ranks of Monster Hunter World. 40 are in Low rank, 134 are in High rank, and a whopping 180 are in Master. The same Smithy can make all types, as long as you have the monster parts and Zenny.

Where do I get new armor sets in Monster Hunter: Word?

To craft new armor sets in MHW, you must head to the Smithy on the second floor of Asteria or the large central building of Seliana. From there, talk with the smith behind the main desk. Select “Forge Equipment” and then “Armor” to see the available armors. The only exception is armors that are given to you, such as the Guardian Armor.

Before you can see a new type of armor in MHW, you must first receive a core part. Typically, that means slaying whatever monster whose parts make up the gear you’re making. For example, to see a Nergigante helmet, you must first kill a Nergigante to get the parts required. Then, you should see the Nergigante set in the Smithy, alongside all of the parts needed to craft each piece.

For event-specific sets, like Lunastra Gamma, you must get the event ticket to see the armor set. You can’t just kill a normal Lunastra to see what parts are needed to make the rest of the set. You’ll have to take down her Arch-Tempered form in the quest “When Blue Dust Surpasses Red Lust,” which is no easy feat. Other event-based armor sets work the same. And, sadly, some event-specific sets—like the Artemis set—are likely lost to time.

However, it’s important to note not all armor sets come with full gear. For example, the Shamos Armor set only comes with the Shamos visor, rather than a full set of armor.

For each rank, we will order the armors alphabetically by their rarity. So, all rarity one armors, then all rarity two, etc. If you do not see the armor set that you want in your Smithy, you may need to continue story progress and defeat stronger monsters, since rarity usually means the armor set comes from a larger and more powerful monster or event quest.

Low rank armor sets

Low-rank armor sets are tutorial armor sets for Monster Hunter: World. They include all armor sets from rarity one to rarity four. This is by far the shortest category, with only 40 total armor sets to collect.

High rank armor sets

High-rank armor is what you’ll wear most of the time in Monster Hunter: World‘s basegame content. They range from rarity five to rarity eight and include several event-based sets, such as the PlayStation and Xbox exclusive Aloy Alpha set.

High Rank is where MHW introduces the Alpha (α), Beta (β), and Gamma (γ) armor set types. Alpha armor sets have more skills on them but less room for decorations. Beta sets have fewer skills, but larger and more numerous decoration slots. Beta sets will almost always be better than Alpha sets, as long as you have the right decorations to give yourself damage skills. Alpha sets tend to include many different utility skills, which can work for the right build, but are usually somewhat low-impact skills like Speed Eater.

Gamma sets are typically the best of both worlds, with better skills and decoration slots than their Alpha and Beta counterparts.

However, to get Gamma armor sets, you typically must take down the strongest versions of monsters available in that difficulty—the Arch-Tempered monsters.

The following armor sets are only available in the Iceborne DLC for Monster Hunter World. They range from rarity nine to rarity 12. This is where most of the armor in the game comes from, with over 170 sets to collect—a total of 180 if you include event exclusives. They usually follow the same Alpha and Beta setup from High Rank, though they also have a plus sign attached to them to distinguish them from high rank armor sets.
