Ideas for Armour

just got my low Rank Lagi Armour. I plan on using the SnS & LS mostly. Would Appreciate some ideas for Decorations and what skills i should use for it. Thank you for the help.

Some times I wonder if you quote contradicting statements on purpose... Other than that I don't really use Lagi much, though I really should since it has element up... I know evade+1 and Gaurd+1 are very popular for the set...

Speed Sharpener........

I think I like Razor Sharp a little more, though Speed sharpener is certainly convenient. I need to make an armor with both...

Lagi armor is definately the armor that can have both. In MHFU, Cenatuar U armor has Razor Sharp and can be gemmed for speed sharpening.

I love that rediculous armor... Artisan, Razor Sharp and something else rediculous... Most obnoxiously sharp weapon evar!

Yes actually. I do make purposeful contradictions.

I figured as much. Sounds like you.

probably a stupid question. But how exactly do decorations and skills work? I see that some decorations say things like "gives you +10 to Hunger Skill" but when ii put that on armour it does not activate the skill. do i have to have enough +somethings to get a certain number before the skill activates or what?

Big thing for checking skills is the Z button, holding it and hovering over any of the decoration/armor skills will tell you a bit about the skill in question. Most skills require 10 points to activate, and anything less will just be a waste of skill points

Take the Rathian (normal) set for example. Wearing all of it gives me +20 HP (13 points, i think, of the HP+ skill, can't think of name) and +10 fire resistance (about 11 on that skill, I think). With one Vitality gem (+2 to the HP boost), I will hit 15 points and get THAT skill instead (+50 HP. you can see the skill levels in the Z-check thing).

The big thing is to use Z to see what the skill level and effects are, and you can use C is MOST of the armor menus to navigate to the 'skills' menu, which will display your armor/decoration/charm skill points, as well as any active skills

(I'm assuming that you're using Tri. I don't know how to check things on any other game)

I spend a lot of time in the status portion of the menu. Just hold Z over the skill to see what you need and what it does. And Zair's right, it usually needs 10 points to activate the first "level" of a skill.

alright. thanks guys.

sorry to be a nuisance once again. but it seems like no matter what combination i use i always end up with 4 jewel slots left that i can't do anything with. it is just really kinda bothering me that no matter what i will just have these 4 floating slots i won't ever have a use for.

If you have a one slot weapon then you could gem in a skill that has decorations that give you +2 for one slot. I think Hungerless and Speed Setup are some examples. You may also see if you can get a secondary skill from your talisman. Also don't be afraid to ask questions, the more you know the better you'll be.

what can you do with 5 slots in Lagi Armour if you already have 5 Grinder jewels(for speed sharpener)?
