Upon breaking the Hunter Rank cap and completing the Request, Kagero's Trial to capture a High Rank Magnamalo, players gain the ability to craft the Guild Tree for Sword and Shield, consisting of the Ninja Sword I and Hi Ninja Sword.
As the first weapon in the game with 100% Affinity, it is guaranteed to deal an extra 25% damage on each hit due to its 100% chance of critical hits. To learn more about Affinity, check out our guide on how Affinity works.
Although the Request itself isn't hard, players will have to reach HR 40 and hunt Teostra before they can obtain all the required Materials to craft it.
Ninja Sword Build and How to Craft
Players who complete all Village Quests from ★1 to ★6 are able to challenge the Advanced Village Quest, Advanced: The Veterans' Gala and face off against Rajang, Bazelgeuse, and Magnamalo.
Clearing this Quest allows crafting of the Flame Seal, a single Head Armor Piece which grants the Critical Eye Skill at level 4!
How to Unlock and Craft the Flame Seal Armor
A new Headpiece with an exclusive Skill, Carving Master, players can earn the Feather of Mastery by clearing all six Arena Quests with all five weapons available for each.
Rank and time completion is not a factor, so simply taking the time to complete all the Arena Quests with all five weapons available for each will earn you this coveted headpiece. Carving Master allows hunters to carve four (4) times instead of three (3) for every Monster, so don't sleep on it!
How to Unlock the Feather of Mastery
In addition to the full sets listed above, many existing trees have been expanded with new higher-powered Weapons using newly available Materials.
Update 2.0 also features new petalaces, items, and most exciting of all, decorations!
Of those added, the Tenderizer Jewel 2 with Weakness Exploit and Blast Jewel 2 with Blast Attack should prove to be highly coveted by players.
The Critical Jewel 2 with Critical Boost is a must for those who can obtain the Apex Blaze Sac needed to craft it from the Apex Rathalos Rampage or Solo Quest, ★7 The Fearsome Apex Rathalos.
A new type of Jewel called the Lazurite Jewel can be obtained from several ★7 Quests. They can be used to forge new decorations introduced here and amp up your hunter's potential!

Absolute Petalace | Underworld Petalace |

Both Petalaces are new and is accessible by completing the new 7★ Hub Quests, A Blaze Among Beasts and May Fire Quell Fury, with the former unlocking the Absolute Petalace and the latter unlocking the Underworld Petalace.
Both of these Quests are available immediately upon unlocking the HR Cap and reaching HR8.
To partner the arrival of new Decorations and Armor Sets, new skills are now available at your arsenal to spice up your new end game gears! Below are all the new skills available and all the decos and armor that comes with it!
Teostra Blessing is a new skill that amplifies fire elemental attacks and blast build up. It also prevents poison and venom which makes it even better than poison resistance and at max level, it grants immunity to theft. Theft includes the Chameleos' spore stealing and the Melynx's attacks.

Chameleos Blessing grants a massive advantage vs enemies that rely on wind pressure since at level 2, it will negate minor and major wind pressure and at max level, it nullifies it completely. Damage wise, it can be helpful at level 3 since it grants poison an extended duration which means it can deal more damage in the long run. On a nice bonus, at level 1, it can grant a chance at increasing a Spiribird's effect so if you like gathering Spiribirds before fights, the Chameleos set may be for you!

We have confirmed a bug for some players when using the Melding Pot.
This will be fixed in Ver.2.0, which will release at the end of April.
Please note that the game was not designed to turn out the same specific Talismans based on your save data.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please wait for the Ver. 2.0 patch.
Source: Monster Hunter Rise Official Site
According to the Patch Notes, the Melding Pot bug which can cause the same Talisman to be produced repeatedly when using the Wisp of Mystery melding method has been fixed in the 2.0 Update.
Players who have been having struggling with this issue can now meld away!
Be ready to clear out some space in your Nintendo Switch. Specifically, you should have 900 MB free on your Switch before downloading the patch. However, it is important to note that the required space is increased to 1.5 GB if this is your first time updating Monster Hunter Rise after purchasing it.
