Pokke Village. 119 lines, in the order the game keeps them.

Yo yo and hello! For improving bone weapons you're gonna need bone material. Try a Popo for Brute Bone or a Giaprey to get some Small Monster Bone!
Ho ho, come back soon! Stop by anytime you've got some good materials!
Yo yo and hello! To improve iron weapons, you'll need all types of ore! To mine ore, use a Pickaxe at a Mining Point. Then mine away!
Yo yo and hello! To improve armor, you'll need an Armor Sphere. You can improve one part by one level by using one sphere. It's like a rule of one!
Improving a melee weapon makes it stronger. Depending on the weapon, you could even craft something with the same abilities.
Yo yo and hello! If you improve armor, its defense will rise, but Skills and Slots are fixed, so don't fret. Your precious skills will remain untouched.
Yo yo and hello! The armor improving Armor Sphere has advanced versions too! There is the Armor Sphere+, Hard Armor Sphere, and more! Try and get 'em!
Yo yo and hello! On a high ranking Quest you'll have the chance to get high quality materials! These materials can be made into high power armor!
Yo yo and hello! Are you using Decorations? They won't be lost if you've removed them or improved your weapon, so use them as much as you'd like!
Yo yo and hello! Wait... Wait... YOU'RE THE VILLAGE HUNTER! Thanks to you, our business is thriving!
Yo yo and hello! You're the new hunter, aren't you? I look forward to working with you in the future.
This is the Equipment Shop. It's two shops in one. The Weapons Shop sells completed items and the Crafting Shop makes or improves weapons and armor.
When you don't have materials you should visit the Weapons Shop and talk to that darn Felyne. All you need is money to buy armor or weapons from him!
Now if you got some materials and want to make new equipment, I'm your man! All you need is materials and money... I can make anything.
If you want to improve weapons or armor, I'm also your man. You'll need materials and money for bows or melee weapons. Bowguns only require money.
Improving armor will require special materials and money... Huh? What materials you ask? I'll tell you about that later. Patience, grasshopper.
Oh, I forgot to mention Decorations. When it's time to add Skill Points to armor or weapons, I'm the man you need to see.
To be honest, it's not a stretch to say that hunters wouldn't be able to continue their vocation without my skills.
Anyways, if you happen across any new materials, you know where to come.
Yo yo and hello! Have you gotten used to the life of a hunter yet?
I have something nice for you today. A new kind of revolutionary material made via the latest technology developed by the Workshop Union.
It's called an Armor Sphere. Armor Spheres are special materials used to improve armor. One sphere can improve one piece of armor by one level.
Any line or type of armor can be improved; however, the number of levels it can be raised by an Armor Sphere is fixed for each piece of armor.
Armor Spheres can be obtained as a reward, or they can be combined by using Armor Stone and either a Killer Beetle or Machalite ore.
The more of these you obtain the more you can improve. Why don't you try improving your favorite armor and see how it works first hand.
Yo yo and hello! It seems like you are progressing well as a hunter.
I have something nice for you yet again. Have you ever heard of Decorations? You can attach them to weapons and armor.
Weapons and armor have open holes called slots. These slots can be used to attach Decorations.
Decorations are endowed with Skill Points, so attaching them to your armor might activate the ability to use a new skill.
Crafting a Decoration requires a material called a Jewel. There are various types of Jewels, such as the Akito Jewel and Suiko Jewel.
Since you seem to be a little light right now, I'll give you a few Suiko Jewels. Use these to commission Decorations for your weapons and armor.
Removing a Decoration does not break it, so try as many different ones as you'd like! Of course, I'll be charging you to make them!
Yo yo and hello! Word on the street is you rid us of a Blangonga. Mighty fine job if I do say so myself.
I figure you deserve something to commemorate the event. Remember that Suiko Jewel I gave you? Well this time I have an even nicer Jewel!
It's called an Akito Jewel. You can use it to make the Expert Jewel, which raises your Affinity through the Reckless Abandon skill.
You can also make an Early Bird Jewel, which triggers the Reloading Speed skill and allows you to quickly reload your Bowgun or Bow.
You can obtain an Akito Jewel in the Swamp or the Forest and Hills; however, the best way to get them is mining in the Volcanic Belt.
I'll give you a few now so you can try them out and see what they do. Of course, leave taking on and off Decorations to a professional... Me.
Yo yo and hello! I hear you were able to hunt down a Tigrex! That's amazing!
This calls for a celebration! Remember that Armor Sphere I gave you...? Well, if you want to improve armor, than this is even better!
It's called an Armor Sphere+, and it allows you to strengthen armor that can no longer be improved with a simple Armor Sphere.
Like an Armor Sphere, it will improve one piece of armor one level, no matter the linage or the part.
However, an Armor Sphere+ only improves things that have already reached an Armor Sphere's limit. You can't use them from the start.
I also hear you can make an Armor Sphere+ by combining an Armor Stone with Dragonite Ore or Hercudrome.
Try improving your favorite armor with this. I think you'll be pleased with the results... Especially the results at my crafting shop!
Yo yo and hello! Looks like you are hard at work these days. Everyone is quite proud of you.
I've got a gift for you today. A Jewel much nicer than anything I've given you before.
It's called a Battlefield Jewel. Use it make improved versions of your current Decorations and unlock even more useful skills.
Combining that Jewel with materials allows you to create wonderful items.
As a key item in creating Decorations, sometimes you'll need multiple pieces. If you get new materials, come here and see what's possible.
To get a Battlefield Jewel, your best shot is mining the Volcanic Belt. Especially the mining points in caves, the summit, or the volcano's base.
Now that you know what you need to know, time to head out into the field. You know... Use this to do that and get on with it! But come back soon!
Yo yo and hello! It seems that you've gotten yourself almost ready to try some of the higher ranked Quests. You've made the village proud!
I think you'll need this as you progress the ranks. It is an incredibly important material used when improving armor.
It's called a Hard Armor Sphere. It is used to improve items beyond the ability of an Armor Sphere+.
Just like before, you can't use a Hard Armor Sphere until you've used an Armor Sphere+ to improve your armor. That's very important, so don't forget it!
Combine an Armor Stone with Carbalite Ore or a King Scarab to create a Hard Armor Sphere.
If you have any armor that has been improved with an Armor Sphere+, try improving it even further. Of course, you'll allow me to provide the labor!
Once you've raised to this rank, you will be able to craft high-end armor, such as S-Series armor or U-Series armor.
If you get valuable materials, bring them over here! I should be able to make you some new armor!
Yo yo and hello! Our village hunter! It seems that your stock just keeps going up and up!
Huh? Why are you looking at me like you are expecting a handout!? Maybe because I have one for you! The ultimate Jewel itself!
It is an incredible Jewel that can only be obtained on High Rank or higher Quests. None other than the Lapis Lazuli Jewel!
There are plenty of places to encounter it during a high ranking Quest, so you should be able to obtain it while mining for other types of ore.
Limited to only high ranking Quests, possessing this item allows the crafting of incredible Decorations provided you have other rare materials.
For instance, the Lapis Lazuli Jewel is indispensable when creating high Skill Point Decorations that take up three slots.
The U-Series armors all tend to have many open slots, and thus it is wise to mix and match decorations... Now off you go to do your best once again!
Yo yo and hello! Welcome back to this wonderful shop! This village owes its reputation to your patronage!
Today, I have a special treat. I've gotten my hands on something rare and incredibly valuable. I've got no use for it, so it's yours now!
It's a Heavy Armor Sphere! If you've maxed out a piece of armor with a Hard Armor Sphere, try this. Too bad you can't always use it.
Among armor-improving materials, it is at the top of the heap... Too bad you can't combine things and make it yourself, yet.
It is rarely ever given as a reward... Which makes things difficult as well... Whatever! We can just get by using Hard Armor Spheres!
But if you are after the absolute highest in defensive power, then the Heavy Armor Sphere is the item to use. And I am the man you should let use it!
Yo yo and hello! It seems you're doing quite well for yourself.
There is something I was planning on giving you... There is no use at all in me holding on to it.
Here you go! I suppose you've already got one, but you might as well use this one too.
Yo yo and hello, and a big hearty welcome! So I hear that you can now take on G-Level Quests! Pretty smooth!
Oh! Remember those Heavy Armor Spheres I gave you a while back? Well, I got a few more in stock, so I figured I'd give them to you.
No need to thank me, really. You're going to be going on G-Level Quests from now on, and trust me, you're going to need them.
By the way, Heavy Armor Spheres are fairly hard to come by, but I think you are ready to combine some things and make them yourself.
The materials... Um... One of them is a "Pure Crystal", I think. It's something you can only obtain on G-Level Quests. If you find some, try making one!
I've also heard tell that it's possible to create an even better Armor Sphere! If I succeed, I'll give a few to you, so keep your fingers crossed!
One last thing, if you find any G-Level materials, make sure to bring them to me! You never know what I might be able to make! Don't forget!
Yo yo and hello! Healthy and strong as usual are we, Village Hunter? I hope so.
About that "even better Armor Sphere" I mentioned last time, I did it! Presenting "Royal Armor Spheres"! Here you go. Don't be shy and take them!
You can also make Royal Armor Spheres. In addition to the usual Armor Stone, you'll need a G-Level ore or bug material to combine it with.
Of course, for someone who can take on G-Level Quests, it's probably nothing, am I right? I bet you've already got some in your inventory.
For those who are out there facing superstrong monsters, you can never have enough of these Spheres is what I say.
Ah! Nothing gets the heart thumping like finding and working with new materials. I can't wait to see what G-Level materials you'll bring me next!
Yo yo and hello! I can tell you've been putting your back into the G-Level Quests!
Actually, I've been waiting to see you so I could give you this. Thought you might like it. It's an Armor Sphere unlike any you've seen before.
I call it, the "True Armor Sphere". Top of the line, this is. I don't think it's an exaggeration when I say there's nothing that can beat it!
...Although, truth be told, there's room for improvement. Oh, I don't mean the Sphere itself; we need to refine the technique a bit, that's all.
The Sphere itself is top-notch, so the technique we use to draw out its latent ability must be just as refined.
Scholars and craftsmen are pitching in where they can and our research is showing potential. I'm helping out in the workshop environment division.
Anyway, just letting you know that there's no problem in using them, and that there is a way to combine items to make one.
Squaring off against G-Level monsters... That takes some real guts. Go get 'em, Tiger!
Yo yo and hello! Our village's favorite hunter looks fine and well today.
Oh, remember those Hard Armor Spheres I gave you a while back? I got a few more of them in. Here, put these to good use, OK?
Aww, no thanks needed. I mean, if you improve your armor here, I'll make my money back, am I right? Ha ha. If you want to improve a piece, let's do it!
Yo yo and hello! You look mighty chipper today, as always!
Oh, remember those Lapis Lazuli Jewels I gave you the other day? Well, I got a few more in, so here you go! Be sure to use them!
And when you do use them, you know who to come to! Don't let me down! Ha ha.
Yo yo and hello! Your timing is impeccable, my fine hunter friend!
I got more of those Heavy Armor Spheres I gave you the other day in, and I thought I'd give them to you. Be sure to use them!
To be honest, these are really hard to get a hold of, but you're the star hunter in town, so I know you'll put them to good use.
Yo yo and hello! Wow, it's the hero of Pokke Village, in the flesh and right before my eyes!
So tell me, all the equipment you used came from my shop, right? I so want to advertise that it was my handiwork that defeated the Ukanlos!
Actually, I've got some good news to share. The Wyverian Craftsman Guild has made two giant breakthroughs in their research at last!
The first is in weapon creation. They've found a way to greatly increase a weapon's performance without sacrificing its appearance.
I won't bore you with the technical details, but suffice it to say that this means I can now turn ordinary weapons into G-Level powered ones.
Melee weapons will benefit the most, since unfortunately, long-ranged weapons are made using the old technique.
But I've got to warn you. The technique is difficult so it's impossible to further improve your weapon after I do it once. Them's the breaks.
The other discovery is in armor improvement. Remember what I said about refining the True Armor Sphere creation technique? Well, guess what?
We've figured out how to extract the most out of a True Armor Sphere and can add even more defense to any piece of armor now.
With this technique, True Armor Spheres and money, even maxed out armor can be made even stronger.
Apparently, even lowclass armor can jump drastically in defense through this. If you have one, why not dust off that beloved piece and try it out?
So, what do you think? Pretty awesome, right? I'm so proud of those Wyverian Craftsman Guild guys. There've been changes around here thanks to them!
I hope you'll try out all the new options their discoveries have opened up for you. I'm confident you'll find something of use to you!
