Every single Decoration name and the skill description in Monster Hunter Wilds for weapons and armor.

March 17, 2025 10:20 PM

There are a lot of Decorations (also called Jewels) in Monster Hunter Wilds and they each have their own name and associated skills. While some of the names align with skill names, others aren’t easy to discern at a glance. Below you’ll find a table of every single weapon and armor Decoration, the skill it provides, and a description of said skill.

All Decorations & Jewel Skills

There are dozens of Decorations to collect and meld in Monster Hunter Wilds. The first time you unlock Decorations, you won’t be able to use them right away, but sooner or later you’ll be diving deep in to your build. At this point, it can be difficult to work out what skills each Decoration is offering. Use the following table to help your buildcrafting process. It includes the weapon Decorations and the armor Decorations. Remember you can make more Decorations at the Melding Pot.
