Hunters,

Ready for another Upgrade Rush Quest? This is your event for earning zenny and monster materials!

During the event, you can collect items such as Shining Eggs, which can be exchanged for Zenny, through rewards from monster hunts, Hunt-a-thons, and Elder Dragon Interceptions. In addition, you’ll be able to collect even more monster materials thanks to increased large monster slay rewards and special limited-time quest rewards.

What’s more, you can also obtain guaranteed Crimson/Azure/Amber/Cyan/Pale/Black Driftstones when slaying large monsters. This is a great chance to get the driftstones you’re after and add new skills to your equipment!
A limited-time campaign will also be available.

During the same period, Season 9 Wave 2 Base Defense will also be active. Make use of both equipment upgrades and driftsmelting as you prepare to take on Riftcharged Great Girros!
