What layered armor changes
Layered armor changes your appearance. Your normal armor still determines defense, resistances and skills.
Already owning a bonus or special layered set is different from unlocking ordinary base-game layered armor crafting.
Unlock and craft base-game layered armor
- Reach Hunter Rank 8, after the base-game Hunter Rank cap is removed. This means HR8, not Hub 8★ quests.
- Visit the Smithy and open layered armor crafting.
- Check the piece’s cost. Ordinary pieces require Outfit Vouchers, their listed materials and money.
- Forge the pieces you want.
Equip the appearance
Open Item Box → Layered Armor Settings, then select individual pieces or a set. Your hunter’s appearance changes while the performance of your normal equipped armor remains in effect.
Master Rank layered armor
Sunbreak’s Master Rank layered armor uses Outfit Voucher+ and has separate progression requirements. Owning the expansion does not instantly unlock every Master Rank layered set.
