I seriously think HR harvest set is best armor set in game

[RandalMcdaniel]

I've been using harvest armor since i got the ability to equip it and i was able to solo every elder dragon solo with ease. I've also crafted some of the rarity 8 armor sets but i keep going back to harvest every time.

I know it lacks some of the set effects of rarity 7-8 armor, but its the only set with no negative status effect stats as well as 2 gemslots. Most of the 8 rarity armor only has 1 gemslot.

I am able to equip so many perks/decorations with the HR harvest set (including size2 gems) i just cant find any rarity8 set that offers me better overall stats in general.

HR harvest set is just the best all-around armor in MHW imo

When fighting kirin for the first time solo after reading another users post that he enjoyed the game up until the "impossible" kirin fight. All i did was equip 3 thunder-res gems into my HR harvest set and i was able to beat her with ease. And i mean that. it was just as easy as any other monster

Probably not the best for min maxing but I would say it is the best for leveling through the main story.

Only 2 out of 5 elder dragons are elemental based and many other armor pieces have either better skills or better slots. It's not like Harvest is the only set you can slot 3 thunder res decos in.

Also Kirin is male.

thats the thing, they dont have better skills or better slots. Thats why i felt the need to make this thread.

The sets that do have a good set skills lack gemslots and have negative attributes. I still think overall its the best set in mhw. And for any occasion as well. Want to fight kirin? Put in 3 anti thunder gems. Want to fight vaal hazaak? Put in 3 miasmi gems.

actually kirin is gender neutral.

You don't need 3 anti thunder gems for Kirin. Also that thunder resist isn't going to help all that much.

You don't need Miasma gems for Vaal hazak because the toxic build up can easily be countered by Null berry and it doesn't matter if you max it out, his claw attacks will still inflict it.

Are you serious?
Skills on the Harvest set:
1x Tremor Resistance
1x Focus
1x Resentment
1x Constitution
1x Mushroomancer
All with one lv1 and one lv2 slot.

Damascus chest b gives you 2x Focus and 3 lv1 slots. Kushala chest a gives you 1x Focus + 2x Handicraft. Both are more efficient than the Harvest piece.
Dober chest a gives you 2x Attack Boost, 1x Mushroomancer and 1x lv1 slot. Again, more efficient than the Harvest piece.
The others aren't even good skills - Tremor Res only helps against very specific monsters (one of them is certainly not Kirin), Resentment requires at least 3 levels to work and it's still one of the worse ways to increase your damage and all the Constitution levels you will ever need for the weapons that use it - namely bow - are easily obtainable through a charm.

So if you aren't running a very specific set that requires one more level of Focus/Mushroomancer + two slots, the armor is overall pretty bad.

Harvest set have too much random skills. Also most of the good armor set can gives you enough slot for anti thunder gems or miasma gems etc.

Even if it had amazing stats and 3 level 3 slots it would still look ridiculous, and fashion > everything else.

I just cant find a better armor for all around use than harvest.

And how can you say thunder resist gems are not much help for kirin?

derr. 3 thunder resist and elemental defense up L (food) = tanky af vs kirin

Joke topic?

Wait for Drachen and the Kulve tarroth stuff. Everything we have now will be obsolete within a year.

@ToveriJuri Someone sharing their love for a good looking set I guess.

@op glad you found a good use for the set. I find more value in individual pieces compared to the entire thing. But glad you enjoy it.

[lmaogg]

if you are good at the game, whatever armor works, or even naked.

[Dallagen]

Literally any set is better than harvest.

Vaal Hazak, Nergigante, Dober, etc

elemental def have a cap at 20. 3x thunder resist Jewel will put you at the cap without food buff.
20 point at thunderdef= 20% lass damage from thunder damage which most likely means you will get 3 shot instead of 2 shot by kirin's thunder attack if you max out the armor. i guess this is useful for someone who is fighting temper kirin first time. For me I would just stack as much attack as possible to kill kirin as quick as possible. The less time i spend with kirin the less damage i take.

Also all the exist skills the havest set have is at level 1. Which mean extra slot is needed to increase their level. Which also mean there is not mush slot for other useful skills like handicraft, atk up or crit related skill.

You get immunity to that element's status effect at 20 but it doesn't cap at 20
