Learn how to forge and upgrade your weapons and armor, plus craft gear for your Palico, at the Smithy in Monster Hunter Generations. Get the most out of your gear!
Hey there, Hunter! So, you're ready to start kitting yourself out with some sweet gear, right? Every village you visit in Monster Hunter Generations has a trusty Smithy, and this is where all the magic happens for your weapons and armor. Think of it as your personal workshop to get stronger. Let's break down what you can do here.
Your Hunter's Gear Options:
| Option | Explanation |
| Forge Weapons | This is where you'll create brand new weapons from scratch. Sometimes, forging a new weapon is actually better than trying to upgrade an old one, so keep that in mind! |
| Forge Armor | You've got five slots for armor: head, chest, waist, arms, and legs. Remember, there are different sets for Blademasters (melee fighters) and Gunners (ranged fighters), so make sure you're forging the right type for your style. |
| Upgrade Equipment | Got a weapon or piece of armor you like but want to make it even better? This is the place to pump up its stats. |
| Decorations | These are special items you can craft and then slot into your weapons and armor to give them extra skills or boost existing ones. You can also manage your Decorations at your house, but you can craft them here. |
Don't Forget Your Palico!
Just next to the main Smithy, you'll find the Palico Armory. This is run by a Felyne who specializes in gear for your little buddy. Your Palico needs gear too, and this is where you get it. Plus, you'll get Scraps here, which are super important for crafting Palico equipment.
| Option | Explanation |
| Forge Weapons | Your Palicos can wield both cutting and impact weapons, and trust me, they look absolutely adorable while doing it! |
| Forge Head Armor | Palicos have a simpler armor setup with just two pieces: head and body. You'll forge their headgear here. |
| Forge Body Armor | And this is where you'll craft the main body armor for your feline companion. |
| Trade for Scraps | Scraps are the currency for Palico gear. You can get them by trading in monster parts you collect, from playing the Meownster Hunter mini-game, or sometimes when you forge your own armor. So, always keep an eye out for ways to earn more Scraps! |
