I'm in the middle of rank 2 quests and I feel I need new armor (from the Battle and Giaprey sets). I have my eye on the Cephalos set, but I'm reluctant knowing I might be able to get better armor soon.
Is it worth it?

I mannaged to get to the 5 star village quests in battle armour (no upgrades), however it's not easy. So new armour will help but isn't as important as your weapon.
The one exeption is when fighting Gypceros, for this monster get Valoseprey aromur to negate the flash effect and to stop you getting stunned by monsters.
When you can, try to get Tigrex or Rathalos/Rathalos soul armour as they are well worth it and can hold you untill you reach very tough monsters! Good luck!
No it's not. I used the Velociprey armor. It's easier to made and pretty cheap and strong. Just gather some armor spheres and then improve it.
You can defeat the urgent quest the khezu with this armor and bone katana shark. And I didn't die. So go for Velociprey armor
Personally I made the cephalos set ASAP being a monster hunter vet, the number on reason is that the top cash cow spots are in high heated areas, volcano for mining and desert for collecting livers early on to fatten you cash stack. Still have it still use it. I think the set is great and was a godsend when slamming out multiple diablos for the windpress set early on. Save money on drinks and potions/save time/get new strong def sets faster. Your choice, good luck.
