Besting all ★10 Arch-tempered Arkveld Event Quest and special environment quests will unlock a high-difficulty Free Challenge Quest: the ★10 Arch-tempered monsters Hunt-a-thon quest. All these quests offer a significant challenge that’s sure to test the skills of even the most seasoned hunters, so be sure to give them a try.
The winners of the Original Weapon and Pendant Design contest are here
This update introduces the winning community-created weapon and pendant designs from the Original Weapon and Pendant Design Contest that was held last year. Take on the permanent Event Quest, Every Hunter’s Dream, to obtain both the weapon and pendant.
Thank you again to many community members who submitted their amazing designs for the contest.
A collaboration with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
To commemorate the release of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, we’re introducing a special collaboration where you can obtain a one-of-a-kind Royal Palico Rudy Costume α Palico equipment and special Monstie-themed pendants.
Make your way through the new side missions to unlock special free quests focused on egg transport. Some eggs are highly potent, and delivering these increases your additional rewards. Good luck delivering those Monstie Eggs to camp for Rudy.
New Event Quests will appear weekly
New event quests will continue to come to Monster Hunter Wilds. These include unique quests where you can obtain special pendants, quests featuring the least hunted monster, and quests where you can obtain the dazzling armor sets Gala Suit α and Felyne Star α.
And finally, the final Free Challenge Quest, Arch-tempered Arkveld, will be available from March 19 to March 31, so stay tuned.
Nearly all event quests, with some exceptions, will become permanently available beyond February 18. There are more event quests beyond those introduced here, so stay tuned.
That wraps up the info for the February update. We hope you continue to enjoy your adventures in Monster Hunter Wilds. Happy hunting.
