Hunters,
Spring Riftborne Week, a special event featuring riftborne monsters, is just around the corner!
During this event, riftborne monsters will appear more frequently. In addition, rewards for breaking special parts on riftborne monsters will be doubled.
Breaking these special parts can grant riftborne materials, which are rare monster materials obtained from riftborne monsters. These materials are required for style selection and parameter unlocks in style customization. Take advantage of this opportunity to collect plenty of riftborne materials while rewards are doubled!
During the event, new quests will be added daily from Monday through Saturday. These quests also reward riftborne materials, so don’t miss out.
Friend Link was also introduced in Season 9, allowing you to send group hunt invites to friends. Why not try inviting some friends when challenging riftborne monsters you’ve marked with Paintballs?
The official Monster Hunter Now Discord server also has channels for finding hunting partners. Be sure to check them out!
