Xu Wu Alpha FAQ

What skills does Xu Wu α armor give?

Xu Wu α gives Heroics 5 (max), Adrenaline Rush 3, Ambush 3 (max) and Earplugs 3 (max) across its 5 pieces. Its set bonus Xu Wu's Vigor unlocks Protein Fiend I at 2 pieces and Protein Fiend II at 4 pieces; 5 of its pieces carry the bonus, so 4 pieces of this set alone reach Protein Fiend II. The group bonus Flexible Leathercraft (Hunter Gatherer) needs 3 pieces from any of the 2 sets that share it.

How do you craft Xu Wu α armor?

Forging the full Xu Wu α set costs 25,000 z and Xu Wu Hide+ ×15, Golden Corneum+ ×11, Xu Wu Claw+ ×10, Xu Wu Fang+ ×8, Xu Wu Tentacle+ ×8 and Xu Wu Certificate S ×4 plus 4 more materials. Hunt Xu Wu 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 Xu Wu α and Xu Wu β?

Xu Wu α carries 14 skill levels and 6 decoration slots (2-2-2-1-1-1); Xu Wu β carries 9 skill levels and 13 slots (2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1). Defense (240→400), 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.
