The Ultimate Treaure Hunting Armour Set- MHFU

Recently I've been working on trying to complete my Treasure Hunting guildcard, you just can't finish playing Monster Hunter coz it's endless!! I was trying all kinds of combinations and wrecking my brains to make a perfect set for Treasure Hunting Quests, and after what I thought was impossible, I came up with this.
















Weapon: Any 2 slot weapon (1x Fate Jewel, 1x Blessing Jewel)

Helm: Black Belt Helm
Armour: Red Guild Guard Suit
Gloves: Black Belt Vambraces
Waist: Hide Belt
Ioprey Feet: (2x Backpacking Jewel)

Skills
Spirit's Whim
Good Luck
High Speed Gathering
Backpacking Expert

Any 2 slot weapon would be good, though it's proven that gunlance is best in Treasure Hunting quest as you need to cut tails and blast the boulders fast. I dropped the idea of Gathering +2 coz I figured it's more important to farm fast than to increase the amount of harvest, thus the inclusion of High Speed Gathering instead. Some of you might think Carving skill is the most important as it allows more chances of carving rare treasures from the bosses. But I can't make it happen without decreasing the Luck or Whim skill!!! Every armour or decoration is created in the game such that Carving decreases either one of them, those smart game developers arghh. I find Whim to be very important for if your axes or nets break, it's as good as gameover for your Treasure Hunt. Note that MHFU gamers are not supposed to have access to Jump Teostra quests for the Jolly Roger armour set which gives Luck Boost and Carving Celebrity.

I would guess that there might be a better upgrade of armour if I manage to get Good Luck Piercing later in game, but I can't be bothered to go calculate all that mess now. If anyone has a better set do share it with me!!

In my own testing I have found Luck to do nothing in treasure hunting so I would recommend getting rid of it for Carving which you only get for Gypceros. Unfortunately you have to sacrifice High speed gather and Backpacking as well but if you can cut off tails then it is definitely worth it I'd think.
