Here's my newbie friendly build.
Headgear: Anything but once you have items go for Ripper/Reisz, Robo Eye/3d, and then deviruchi wing / incu/succu
Card: Vanberk
Armor: any armor but preferably VA so it's unbreakable.
Card: RSX so you don't get knocked back
Weapon: 2 OA [4] +10 if possible but if you're poor like me, you can just use low refines
Cards: What I have rn is 2 AK, 1 Paper, 1 Minorous (for large monster, but you should have another set with Desert Wolf for medium size monster)
Or replace minorous card with TG card. I was so poor at this time so I didn't have spare TG cards lol.
Garment: Anything but for me I went for Wool scarf for the extra hp&sp from tidal combo
Card: I have Raydric here but I remember changing it to Aliot card for +str
Boots: Anything, same reason above. or Get Variant shoes but you'll be slow af
Card: Moonlight flower card (I don't want to be slow)
Acce: 2 Ring[1]
Cards: Owl Duke & Owl Baron card
