I want to share a mixed armor set that I found myself because I wanted Sharpness +1 on high rank before dark akantor which is the only one listed on the wiki with sharpness +1 and I have yet to get to fight it.

You need:

Skull helm (Torso up)

Velociprey S mail (1 slot)

Gravios S Vambraces (2 slots)

Seltas S coil  (2 slots)

Velociprey S greaves. (Torso up)

Elemental res are: Fire 3, water -3, thunder -5, ice -7, Dragon 8.

It doesn't look silly aestically. The only downfall is you will want an amulet/charm with attack or guard up to have a 2nd skill or third. In my case I have atck +4 and I got to +4/+3 attack with gems, I use Insect glaive but you can use weapons with shielding with the right gems for guard up. By high rank 8 stars you should be able to make it.

I hope it helps fellow hunters.
