Hunters, This year, we’re bringing back the popular Lunar New Year celebration! In addition to the return of exclusive equipment from the 2024 event, a dragon-element light bowgun will also make its debut. Each of these pieces of equipment scales their performance based on the strength of the monsters you hunt during the event period. This is a prime chance to prepare so you can use your performance-enhanced equipment when hunting the legendary elder dragon Kirin after February 1st! And even if you don’t have high-grade weapons or armor yet, these will provide you with the opportunity to challenge tough monsters. What’s more, exclusive Lunar New Year-themed packs including layered equipment will be available for purchase. Dress in auspicious outfits and join the New Year hunt in style! Finally, it looks like we can also expect an increase in the numbers of Pink Rathian and Banbaro, as well as sightings of Gold Rathian on the field. Let’s make this Lunar New Year unforgettable, hunters!

Hunters, Monster alert! Signs of heightened activity have been observed among Azure Rathalos, Rathalos, Aknosom, Basarios, and Anjanath, as well as a smaller increase in Silver Rathalos. Now is the perfect time to focus on upgrading your fire-element weapons so we’ve prepared some quests to help you take down these monsters. You’ll need those fire-element weapons when Kirin comes along so don’t snooze on this event!

Don’t miss this golden opportunity to hunt as many large monsters as possible and upgrade your equipment by driftsmelting!
