Freely Combine Armor and Talismans

Your armor consists of five pieces, and each piece has its own defense and elemental resistance stats, as well one or more skills that will help you on your hunt.
Skills can also be added by equipping Talismans, which can be earned by progressing in the game.
Make sure you pick the right skills to suit your playstyle and objectives!

Skills

Skills are a variety of abilities that affect hunters in a number of ways.
Each Talisman or piece of armor has its own skills, which are activated just by equipping the corresponding gear.
If you equip more than one piece of gear with the same skill, this will augment the effect.
(Note that each skill has its own level cap.)
If you equip three or more pieces of the same armor set, you will receive a bonus to all of your resistance stats.
