Each piece of armor gives either + or - to skills, and at a certain value, you will get a skill. When you have negative skills, the effects are usually bad. Plus to skills will give you great skills, and are always recommended to get. Certain skills are not very worthwhile, such as map, or fishing. ======================================================== How to use this table: Skill name: This is what the skill name is under the armor listing Value: The amount of points needed to "unlock" an active skill Activated skill: The name of the skill when the point value is acheived Skill Effect: What the activated skill does. =============================================================================== |Skill Name Value Activated Skill Skill effect | =============================================================================== |Attack 25 Attack UP <Large> H52/G48/L23/S14/D14/B12 |Attack 15 Attack UP <Med> H26/G24/L11/S7/D7/B6 |Attack 10 Attack UP <Sm> H15/G14/L6/S4/D4/B3 |Defense 15 Defense +15 Def+15 |Defense 10 Defense +10 Def+10 |Defense -10 Defense -10 Def-10 |Defense -15 Defense -15 Def-15 |Strength 25 Strength+30 Health+30 |Strength 15 Strength+20 Health+20 |Strength 10 Strength+10 Health+10 |Strength -10 Strength-10 Health-10 |Strength -15 Strength-20 Health-20 |Hunger 15 Hunger Negated Stamina bar never decreases |Hunger 10 Hunger[0.5x] Stamina Bar lowers .5x slower |Hunger -10 Hunger[1.5x] Bar decreases 1.5x faster |Hunger -20 Hunger[2.0x] Bar decreases 2x faster |Cold res 15 Anti-cold No stamina decrease in cold |Cold res 10 Cold [0.5x] Stamina decrease .5x in cold |Cold res -10 Cold [1.5x] Stamina decrease 1.5x in cold |Cold res -15 Cold [2.0x] Stamina decrease 2.0x in cold |Heat res 15 Anti-Heat HP decrease negated in Heat |Heat res 10 Heat [0.5x] HP decrease .5x in heat |Heat res -10 Heat [1.5x] HP decrease 1.5x in heat |Heat res -15 Heat [2.0x] HP decrease 2.0x in heat |Gluttony 25 Spd Eater Eat fast like a god!

Torso+X adds X number to all the skills currently on you torso armor. For example, if you are wearing torso that had Recovery+2, Fate-3, and sleep+1, after equipping a piece with torso+2, your skills for the torso would be: Recovery+4,Fate-1, and Sleep+3. The skill TorsoInc multiplies the skills you have on your current torso armor piece. This is a VERY useful skill if you want to save tons of money by using a really good torso, but use black belt equipment for the rest. For example, if your torso armor had attack+4, fire res+2, strength+2, and water res-3, wearing just a waist with torso inc will double the skill effect on the torso. The skills would then be 8, 4, 4, and -6, respectivly. Adding Another armor part that adds torso inc (such as a helm), will triple the effect - making it 12, 6, 6, and -9, respectively. You can wear up to 4 armor parts that have Torso Inc, therefore making a simple armor such as rathalos mail give skills like Atk Up (lrg), Recovery Speed+1, Provocation, and Dragon Res-3.0 =============================================================================== Any and all errors, please email me and let me know, I will be glad to include you for credits in the FAQ and update it ASAP. I am also missing names of some of the activated skills. I will try to get around to finding out this info, but if you know the names, just drop me an email and I'll also fix it.
