This mod replaces the Dragonsbane DLC layered armor (pl394), Orion event quest layered armor (pl289), OR Guild Cross free armor (pl279) with the Guild Bard armor (pl376) for female/type 2 hunters. This mod requires Monster Hunter Rise version 14.0.0.0 or higher to function (i.e. Sunbreak Title Update 4), and the Sunbreak Deluxe Kit DLC to access the Dragonsbane layered armor set for your own hunter if that's the version you're using. You don't need the Sunbreak expansion itself, however.

Intended for use with Fluffy Manager 5000. Just plop the .rar into the "\Fluffy Manager 5000\Games\MHRISE\" folder like you would for any other mod using that program. It should also work with FirstNatives, following the same steps as usual for that as well.

This mod was originally created for my own personal use (replacing a DLC armor set I was whelmed by once I actually saw it on my character), but if for some reason there's demand I could easily make and upload a Type 1 version (I don't know why you'd need a Type 1 version since Guild Bard is already available to male body type hunters relatively early in Master Rank, but eh, whatever). If you really hate Dragonsbane that much and want to make a Type 1 version of this mod for your own use before then, you should be able to just duplicate "player\mod\f\pl394", rename the \f\ folder as "\m\", and then change "f" at the start of the filenames to "m". For example, "\natives\STM\player\mod\f\pl394\f_helm394.user.2" should become "\natives\STM\player\mod\m\pl394\m_helm394.user.2" when renamed. Similarly, if you want to replace a different armor set (presumably one that doesn't require DLC), just look up its model ID here (should be the number preceded by "pl"; for example, Guild Bard is "pl376" by default, while Dragonsbane is "pl394" by default) and then replace the relevant numbers in the folder names and filenames. The feather physics should work fine without any additional mods, but if it's stiff just use Dytser's Physics Enabler. All of the preceding steps also work for the other versions, just replace any instance of "394" with the ID of the version you're using, so 289 for Orion and 279 for Guild Cross.

I originally chose to replace Dragonsbane because I bought the DLC and wound up being less happy with that set than I expected to be, and also because it has a similar enough overall appearance to the Guild Bard set that players without this mod should see your outfits as looking closer to how they look on your end than they would with a different armor set (though to be honest, it's a pretty rough match, and you will look like a bit of a jabroni to everyone else if you do multiplayer; at this point I just wear unmodded stuff during multiplayer). If you want to replace something else, just follow the instructions above.

This is my first time making any sort of mod, so apologies if anything was done incorrectly. I think I've removed the redundant files now, but let me know if I missed anything (or accidentally removed something I should have left in). I can add an optional download for the 4k textures from the /streaming folder if needed, but they bloat the filesize so those won't be in the main versions.
