Well here's how to look up builds manually yourself like I did. First you need the TA wiki (ofc!), http://www65.atwiki.jp/mhxtawiki/. Then you need to know the names of everything. http://mhx-wiki.com/ and http://wiki.mhxg.org/ are what I use, plug them into https://translate.google.com/ if your web browser doesn't allow for machine translations. Prowler weapons are here: http://wiki.mhxg.org/data/2552.html. Those websites are strictly for weapons, you can check other websites for armor skills and Hunter Arts. For English weapon names, check http://mhgen.kiranico.com/. Use the stats of a weapon like element, affinity, slots, anything that would narrow the search as much as possible for ease of use.



For armor skill names, check http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHGen:_Skill_List, check http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHGen:_Hunter_Arts for Hunter Art names, and check http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHGen:_Palico_Skills for Prowler skills. Sometimes there are typos on the TA wiki though, so you'll have to common sense to figure them out. Occasionally information is also omitted, check the image source to view the player's stats.



If you check strictly one weapon, writing down everything will probably take a few hours, which is time consuming, but you'll only need to do it once or twice throughout the game's whole life span, pretty much. It'll probably start a little slow, but after a while you'll start recognizing names. Being able to learn and recognize names speeds up the process pretty quickly. Just through this stuff I'm able to recognize about 90-95% of names that are used, but new stuff I still have to check.
