Arkveld Gamma FAQ

What skills does Arkveld γ armor give?

Arkveld γ gives Flayer 5 (max), Weakness Exploit 5 (max), Blight Resistance 3 (max), Convert Element 3 (max) and Elemental Absorption 3 (max) across its 5 pieces. Its set bonus Arkveld's Hunger unlocks Hasten Recovery I at 2 pieces and Hasten Recovery II at 4 pieces; 5 of its pieces carry the bonus, so 4 pieces of this set alone reach Hasten Recovery II. The group bonus Lord's Soul (Guts (Tenacity)) needs 3 pieces from any of the 1 sets that share it.

How do you craft Arkveld γ armor?

Forging the full Arkveld γ set costs 60,000 z and Arkveld Scale+ ×12, Arkveld Armorplate ×10, White Arkveld Pelt ×7, Arkveld Horn+ ×6, Arkveld Certificate γ ×5 and Arkveld Tail ×5 plus 4 more materials. Hunt Arkveld and Balahara in high rank for the monster parts; the rest is mined, gathered or bought. Each piece is forged separately at the Smithy under High Rank.

What is the difference between Arkveld α and Arkveld β?

Arkveld α carries 14 skill levels and 6 decoration slots (2-2-2-2-1-1); Arkveld β carries 8 skill levels and 12 slots (3-3-3-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1). Defense (330→430), resistances, materials and the set bonus are identical, and α and β pieces mix freely towards the bonus. Pick α pieces for the skills they carry, β pieces where you would rather slot decorations of your own.
