I remember in MH Tri that you would get a “level” of some elemental resistance for each 5 points of that elemental resistance on armour pieces. Like, 4 points would give you no benefit at all, but 5 points would give you low elemental resistance, 10 points mid, and 15 points high (or something like that). So little me thought I would have a little bit of everything, having a couple of points in each resistance, and I only much later found out I actually had no benefit at all. So my question is: do the points/resistances work in the same way in MHW too, or does each point count? I searched the internet but surprisingly did not find an answer.

    Is there anything special about other numbers, like 10? Asking because I just got 10 fire resistance and it seems like the numbers changed colour to a yellowish colour, am I imagining things?

        I meant the resistance number on my armor, it’s now 10, and it looks yellowish. But you answered:

        As I mentioned before, there are no specific tiers or milestones on resistances 5/10/15. It works like a gradient, so the higher the number, the better defended you’ll be. 20 is the only amount that comes with a unique effect.

        Thanks!
