Guardian Arkveld Alpha FAQ

What skills does Guardian Arkveld α armor give?

Guardian Arkveld α gives Flayer 5 (max), Blight Resistance 3 (max), Elemental Absorption 3 (max), Weakness Exploit 3 and Partbreaker 2 across its 5 pieces. Its set bonus Guardian Arkveld's Vitality unlocks Decimator I at 2 pieces and Decimator II at 4 pieces; 5 of its pieces carry the bonus, so 4 pieces of this set alone reach Decimator II. The group bonus Guardian's Pulse (Wylk Burst) needs 3 pieces from any of the 2 sets that share it.

How do you craft Guardian Arkveld α armor?

Forging the full Guardian Arkveld α set costs 50,000 z and Arkveld Armorplate ×10, Arkveld Scale+ ×10, White Arkveld Pelt ×6, Guardian Pelt+ ×5, Guardian Scale+ ×5 and Hunter Symbol III ×5 plus 7 more materials. Hunt Arkveld, Guardian Doshaguma, Guardian Ebony Odogaron, Zoh Shia, Jin Dahaad, Nu Udra, Rey Dau and Uth Duna 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 Guardian Arkveld α and Guardian Arkveld β?

Guardian Arkveld α carries 16 skill levels and 3 decoration slots (1-1-1); Guardian Arkveld β carries 11 skill levels and 10 slots (3-3-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1). 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.
