Armor Stats and Upgrades

The Monster Hunter Stories remaster lets you change your own character to match many of the other characters in the game and anime, via new character customization options and a total of 12 new armor sets.

The name, description, and appearance of a given piece of armor is different depending on what gender the player character is, but the armor's stats and skills will stay the same (similar to the Obituary Armor and Butterfly Armor).

All the armor listed here can be bought at the Smithy in Hakum village.
