Armor - Monster Hunter World

Armor is complemented by Charms. High rank armor comes in two forms, Alpha and Beta sets which vary from one another aesthetically. Alpha sets come with less jewel slots but with bonus Skills or a higher level skill. Beta sets typically lack a second skill but have jewel slots allowing them to be decorated with jewels. There are five different slots of armor: Head Armor, Chest Armor, Arms Armor, Waist Armor and Leg Armor.

Please see the Layered Armor page for cosmetic armors that only change your appearance.
