Squire Belt Summary

Let’s first quickly go through the overview of the Squire’s Belt Item in MHR:

How To Craft Squires Belt 

First, to craft the Squires Belt, you will have to unlock it by completing requirements in MH Rise. And to unlock it, you will have to complete Fiorayne’s MR2 Follower Quests. The two quests are “Flicker in the Night” and “An Audience with the Queen”.

Next, once you have unlocked the Knight Squire Set, you will require some materials to craft the Squires Belt. The materials that you will require to craft the Belt are:

• 8000 Zennies.
• Royal Order Certificate x1.
• Tobi-Kadachi Cathode x2.
• Monster Toughbone x1.
• Ultimas Crystal x1.

Protection Level of Squires Belt

The Squire Belt has a base defense of 100 like all of the other pieces of the Knight Squire Armor Set. However, it also gives specific resistance against certain elements.

The elements against which the Squires Belt gives resistance are:

• Dragon Element.
• Fire Element.
• Water Element.
• Thunder Element.

Also, in addition to the original 100 base defense and specific resistances, the Squire Belt also grants one slot for some type of bonus or ability.

The abilities that you can equip in this one slot are:

• Offensive Guard Level 1.
• Weakness Exploit Level 1.
• Critical Boost Level 1.

Tips

Now, if you are acquiring an armor set, then you should first know the Best Armor Sets. Also, you might need to craft and upgrade the armor so that you will need items such as the Gold Lite Ore, Fucium Ore, and even money.

Additionally, in order to earn lots of in-game currency, read or Best Money Farming Methods. The game also has a variety of NPCs that you will meet through your adventures. MHR Bahari is one of those NPCs. In Monster Hunter Rise, you can customize your weapons through a Layered Weapons Feature.

However, we suggest that you should layer a strong weapon, so why not first check out our Monster Hunter Rise Weapons Tier List. Also, for a specific build guide on the Bowgun, read our Bowgun Build Guide.

Moreover, if you feel bored with the vanilla game, then try out some of the Monster Hunter Rise Mods. The Squire Belt is a part of the Sunbreak DLC, just like the Gold Lite Ore and the MHR Prized Pelt.
