Yes. Mixing your sets is the best way to get better skills out of your pieces of armor.
Sometimes wearing a full set can be a bad idea. Certain armors are bad against certain types of damage, and depending on that can make or break your set.
If you're fighting Gobul in the water, stay UNDER it when you attack. It's attacks all focus on hitting what is in front of it, and it has only one attack where it can hit anything under it. Also try and lure it onto land. If you've got a frog in your inventory and Gobul is in area 4, go to the fishing spot and use the frog, Gobul will come up and nab it and you can fish it out.
Anyway, I killed Gobul before checking the thread again. ;w;
I used my Arzuros armour because it has a slightly better defence, and was quite anxious that his attacks would be pretty powerful. Oh, and yeah I just used my Arzuros Switch Axe+ again, so that's cool I guess. Either way yeah I noticed a pattern on how he was kinda vulnerable from underneath and he limped off to different areas twice so I was pretty chuffed with myself.
And another update, made myself Wroggi, Qurupeco and Royal Ludroth full armour sets today because I kind of want to get each set of every armour for different situations~
I'm gonna get the Barroth armour set tomorrow and hopefully do some more 4 star quests.

Guess they wanted to cover both of Capcom's games in one direct.
I wouldn't expect anything about MH4 getting localized though. Not for a good while, at least.

Just crushing people's hopes before they can get any. lol
Yeah, it'd be nice for Japan to get a date. I'll be digging around for videos once it's out, but the chances of there being any is pretty slim, since this is a 3DS game.

Don't get your hopes up too much with that.
It took us a year to get MH3U.
and that's normally a lot faster than the past games have been. But Capcom has a localized date for AA5, so if we're lucky we might have MH4 not too far behind. But again, based on the past, not likely to happen for at least a year.
IMO, MH3U was well worth the wait, so I could do the same for MH4 if it gets a release here~
I remember the smith saying that you need a certain amount of points for a skill to work. He said it takes 20 points for a skill to work, and to do that you have to equip 5 pieces of armor with 4 points each.
I haven't updated in a while, not that any of you care though- I like writing it down somewhere. >_>
So I stopped farming monsters for their armour and kinda smashed through some quests lately, I have G.Jaggi, Arzuros, Qurupeco, G.Wroggi, Royal Ludroth, Barroth, Gobul, G.Baggi and Lagombi armour and an Arzuros Massifax, a Bolt Axe and a Ludroth Axe.
But yeah I've mainly beaten as of late, Duramboros, Nibblesnarf, Lagiacrus, Rathian and Volvidon (not sure if any more in 4/5 star quests lol) but yeah I'm planning on getting the Lagiacrus and Volvidon armour.
Any thoughts if I should get those armours or not?

It's ten points.
So if you have.. say, a helmet that has Sharpener 2+ on it. You'll need to have some more armor pieces with Sharpener on it to help add up the points.
So your helmet has Sharpener 2+, and you get a chestpiece that has Sharpener 3+, some leggings with Sharpener 3+, and gloves with Sharpner 1+. You only have nine points into Sharpener, so you'll need to make a decoration that has the Sharpener skill in it. You put that into one of the pieces of your armor and you'll now have 10+ Sharpener, and that will activate the skill.
I hope that made enough sense, I'm bad at explaining things. But pretty much for a skill to be active, you need to have 10 or more points put into it.
@Raienryu:
Make ALL the armor sets. :3
that way you can mix and match.
I had to figure out the 10 points thing the hard way with G rank Wroggi armor.
Why is there no poison negate on that stuff? D': I felt deceived, lol.
I'm hr6 now with the Jhen armor. I think I might go for Selene X armor next.
Also that green Plesioth is a jerk!

Plesioth in general are jerks. Made even worse now that you can fight them underwater.
I just recently got to G rank. Still trying to farm to get me some decent armor. I can make Helios Z helmet and waist armor once I get some seals, but for right now I'm still stuck in high rank armor with a G rank Jaggi waist.
Also starting to gun again. I didn't even touch bowguns in Tri, but man they feel so much better than they did in Freedom Unite.

The only thing I can remember about the underwater battles is that darn beam attack thing, ugh.
Then on land I get squished by his flopping fish attack and almost die.
I can help you farm for armor if you need an extra meat shield xD
I'm going to try to get the rest of the Ceadeus armor to see if that helps; just gotta do one player quests now.
The bow and gun people are awesome! For some reason I just stick with the hunting horn to buff attacks, lol.
I need to do better at stunning to help more...
Stunning more = the affinity level on the weapon, right? Not the decorations >__<;

I got my bowgun just now. :3
I should be able to get armor on my own, but I'm up to play anytime after today.

So I killed Rathalos today but my god it limps off far too much... ;-; (just me, or?)
But yes yes, I still need to get myself a lot of armour since I've been concentrating on completing quests and gathering resources to make things, I have all low rank armour apart from Volvidon, Nibblesnarf, Lagiacrus, Rathalos, Rathian, Duramboros, Diablos and Barioth. :c So yeah I gotta farm a real lot now and it's gonna take some time (damn Lagiacrus/Rathalos/Rathian plates) //
Also I ended up trying out the dual blades and I really like them, so I'll end up getting a good few pairs of those in the future alongside my SA's.
Also, can someone explain to me what 'gemming' armour does?

Oh, are you one of those people who makes ALL the armours? o:
I just have a few sets, usually they have the best armour skills or, I can cover the bases with a few armours.
I'm also gonna make some dual blades.
Attaching decorations to your armour can give you boosts in stats/skills for almost anything. They can increase your attack, elemental attack, hunger, defense, guard ability, fishing etc pretty much anything. In MH3U they changed the mechanic so that your character is set on a certain table so you can't get everything unlike in Tri when the table changed each time you loaded the game. So if you're stuck with a bad table,
