You'll see that some Weapons and Armor have blank spots on them. In these places, you should put decorations that give your build extra power.

You can look for these things in the world, open boxes, or buy them at the Melynx Emporium. The shop will start selling a bigger range of these gems as you progress more into the story.

How to Upgrade Your Skills

Upgrading your Decorations works a bit differently than other gear. Instead of carrying multiple copies of the same gem, getting a duplicate will automatically level up the one you already have in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

For instance, if you already own a Dragon Buster Small and you find or buy another one, it doesn't stay as two small gems. Instead, it transforms into a Dragon Buster Medium.

This leveling system is the main way to get better versions of your skills. The more duplicates you find, the more useful the skill becomes.

To keep getting stronger, make sure to explore every corner of the map and check back with the shop often to see if they have any Decorations that fit your playstyle in Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

Improving Your Loadout

Because you get stronger as you get more of the same gem, you need to explore a lot. Keep an eye out for chests as you move, or visit the merchant whenever you're in town. This keeps you from missing out on better levels of the skills you use most.
