I'm trying to fill out my log of talismans, and I'm new to optimizing builds. Is there a good end-game build for monster part farming, or at least one that requires minimal armor/weapon changing? There's the Guardian Arkveld set, but I'm curious if someone is able to whip up one that is even better.

My main is the Charge Blade, but I'm not against swapping to something else if it's easier.

CB is one of the best solo weapons with minimal investment since you don't depend on Elemental Damage. You can inflict status like Sleep or Paralysis along with Stuns and the monster will be dead before you know it. Just use offensive skills like Weakness Exploit, Agitator and Max Might, eat the feasts, which give you boost to kills/captures, and add investigations that drop MATERIAL, not DECOS.

[u/evilrobotcop → u/NuDavid]

Most of the meta DPS sets are interchangeable and good for farming. If you don't want to deal with Frenzy, 4 piece Zoh Shia with the G. Arkveld arms can give you max Agitator, and max Weakness Exploit (if you have 3 decos) before you add a talisman, but has -20 dragon res. Anything with good defense, some damage skills and Partbreaker 3 should be fine.

[u/Dianwei32 → u/NuDavid]

The optimal build will vary a lot by weapon, but generally most builds try to pick two skills between Weakness Exploit, Agitator, and Burst to max, and grab Max Might 3 on top of that.

Off the top of my head, a good number of weapons use a build like Fulgar Anjanath b head/hands, Arkveld b chest, and Gore b waist/legs. Use decos/talisman to get Wex 5, Agi 5, Burst 1, Max Might 3, and Anti-virus 3. Any leftover slots can be whatever you want, but people usually slot Counterstrike for level 2 slots.

[u/NuDavid → u/Dianwei32]

Wait, it seems impossible to get Wex 5, Agi 5, and Burst in this build. There are only three Level 3 slots in this build, so given the skills already present, I can really only get up to Wex 5 and Agi 3.

[u/Dianwei32 → u/NuDavid]

That was just a general statement. It's not possible to get them in every build, and some weapons would want to max Wex and Burst but drop some points in Agitator. If you're looking at Charge Blade specifically (based on the picture), this website is frequently suggested for CB info. It looks like the newest "balanced/all-rounder" build for CB gets Wex 5, Agi 5, Burst 3, and Max Might 3. It also uses 2 pieces of Zoh Shia so you get the passive heal from that.
