After hunting powerful monsters, crafting nice weapons and gear is next. Players can strengthen their weapons using «quorious crafting» where they can choose different stats like affinity and elemental boosts, allowing players to upgrade their weapons in a way that works for them. Related to qurious crafting is the anomaly research lab, a system where players can exchange items from anomaly investigations for material needed to upgrade weapons.

Armor upgrades are less customizable. Stats added will be random when players spend the required material and money, though they don't need to accept the rolled stats if they're unsatisfied.

Event quests are back and will begin August 18. Every week, there will be a new event quest.

A new update of course, means new monsters--some of them familiar faces to long-time Monster Hunter players. Silver Rathalos and Gold
