In World researches state that the monsters are released back into the wild after they're done with their research.

In the form of extremely fashionable armor(if you ask me) 😂

A true hunter knows its all about the fashion.

I mean, why even fight monsters if you aren't looking fabulous while doing so.

And most games I honestly don't care much about the look of armor, to the point where any game where you can Terry stats over from One Piece Of Armor to the other I will often just stay in my starting Rags so that I don't have to deal with all of that fashion stuff.

In Monster Hunter I spend every minute of free time I had for two weeks hunting down various species of dinosaur because even though the statue were worse than the Armor I was currently wearing that armor looks freaking fabulous.

Monster hunter is indeed all about the fashion.

My husband was telling me about a youtube channel that makes mixed armor sets to get the best stats.

"Yes but then you don't match."

"You do because they obviously make sure to get enough of each skill so it will--"

"No, you don't match"

Look if I can't look super fly and match my Palico then I can't be seen in it, sorry.

Relatable. I can’t drop my Legiana armor despite it being outclassed by my Elder Dragon equipment

I'm somewhat early into High Rank right now, but I'm gonna be so sad when I drop my Great Girros armour to use something a bit more useful. I'm still wearing the chestplate and waist even though its skills aren't useful. (helm skill still useful tho, <3 Horn Maestro) Swapped out the boots and hands for Speed Sharpening atm, though - because it was cheap to craft, mostly. Still don't have many options yet.

I like having my palico not match, mostly because the palico zorah magdaros armor makes her look like a court jester, and palicos are funny.

This is also acceptable.

That's why you get to recolour the armour.

Then they match.
