About this converter
Monster Hunter World full sets run 10 to 270 base defense unupgraded. Leather and Chainmail open at 10, Hunter and Bone at 30, Vespoid and Jagras at 40, Kulu at 50, Pukei at 60, Barroth at 70, Anja at 100, Rathalos low rank at 150, Jagras Alpha at 200, Pukei Alpha at 210 and Rathalos Beta at 270. That makes Rathalos Beta equal twenty seven starter sets. Every figure here is the five piece total at level 1 with no armor spheres and no food buffs.
How to use it
Pick two sets and a unit in the top row, for example Rathalos Beta and Leather. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first set, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total defense. Try 1 Rathalos Beta against Leathers.
Per piece math divides these totals by five, so Leather is 2 per piece and Rathalos Beta is 54 per piece. Upgrades with spheres lift every set off page. Skills and mantles change taken damage without changing these base rows. Event and layered looks add no defense and sit out.
