A fully upgraded weapon or armor piece still have room for improvements. Similar to Weapon Honing in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Augmentation in Monster Hunter: World and Iceborne, weapons and armors in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak can be augmented with Qurio's power to further increase their power.
Overview[]
Qurious Crafting can only be performed once the player has completed the main story and reached the main post-game features (Anomaly Research). This feature was added in the first title update of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
For Weapons, only Rarity 10 weapons can be enabled for Qurious Crafting, by spending Afflicted Materials with a total value of 10 points. After which players can put in Augments to customize various stats of the weapon in a similar manner to Weapon Augment in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
For Armors, Master Rank armors of all rarities are eligible for Qurious Crafting, which can be enable for augment by spending 1 corresponding Amber Essence obtained from the Anomaly Investigation alongside a certain total value of Afflicted Materials, depend on the Rarity of the Armor Piece.
- Rarity 8: 1 Amber Essence and 10pts of Afflicted Materials
- Rarity 9: 1 Amber Essence+ and 20pts of Afflicted Materials
- Rarity 10: 1 Prime Amber Essence and 30pts of Afflicted Materials
Weapon Qurious Crafting[]
Players can spend the obtained Afflicted Materials to enhance the weapon even further. Once enabled, the weapon can no longer be rolled back the upgrade line. Additionally, unlike Weapon Augments in MHW&MHWI, the augment of Weapon Qurious Crafting is to be unlocked, which can be equipped and unequipped at will, however, unequipping an augment will not refund the materials spent to unlock the augment.
Currently, the maximum amount of Anomaly Slots as of Title Update 4 is 9, with 3 slots unlocked by default. Additionally, a weapon will gain bonus stat boosts based on the amount of Anomaly Slots it has available; these boosts are always active and do not require a slot to be filled.

Armor Qurious Crafting[]
Players can spend obtained Amber Essences to obtain a completely randomized augmentations onto the armor piece, both positively and negatively.
Mechanics[]
For each time the Armor Qurious Crafting is performed onto an armor piece, that armor piece can obtain up to 7 augmentations. Augmentations received are determined by the amount of remaining Budget on that armor piece. Different rarity has different amount of starting Budget, with Rarity 8 having the most.
Augmentations can be both Positive and Negative Positive Augment - These augmentations will consume the Budget of the armor piece. This includes;
- Increased Defense
- Increased Elemental resistance (Separately)
- Increased Decoration slots amount and/or level
- New Skill(s) obtained
- Increased level of existing Skills
Negative Augment - These augmentations refund the Budget of the armor piece, increasing the amount of the Budget in the process. This includes;
- Decreased Defense
- Decreased Elemental resistance (Separately)
- Decreased level of existing Skills, sometimes to the point of "Removal" (Become Lv 0)
Method[]
Augment[]
| “ | Use materials and money to Augment armor via Qurious Crafting. (Results are random.) | „ | |
| - Augment | |||
Introduced in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak's First Title Update along side the Qurious Crafting itself.
The result of this method of augmentation is completely random.
Augment: Stability[]
| “ | A stable augmentation with no negative effects where a large increase in defense is more likely to occur. (Skills will not change.) | „ | |
| - Augment: Stability | |||
Introduced in the Third Title Update along side the Augment: Skill+.
This method focuses more on the defensive capacity of the armor, high chance of greatly increasing Defense, while also has no Negative Augments nor affecting the existing Armor Skills.
Augment: Skill+[]
| “ | An augmentation that lowers resistance and some skills in exchange for triggering superior skills more easily. | „ | |
| - Augment: Skill+ | |||
Introduced in the Third Title Update along side the Augment: Stability. It is unlocked at AR 121.
This method requires a greater amount of Amber Essences, which results in a high chance of obtaining Decreased Elemental Resistance and Decreased Skill Level, in exchange for obtaining a hard-to-obtain, highly valuable skill.
Special Cases[]
Due to the effect of the Skill Stormsoul, which increases the level of other naturally present skills' level by up to 2 at level 5, presents on both Ibushi and Narwa armors, these armor pieces can not obtain new skills for balancing issue.
