Weapon buffs have also been confirmed for Title Update 4, making it the perfect time to experiment with other weapons!

PC Optimizations and Performance Update

There are plans to optimize CPU and GPU load once TU4 is released. Until then, it's recommended to adjust your graphics options to limit the frame rate in accordance with your hardware specifications.

Is There an Optimization Patch?

Appraised Talismans are assigned random rarities, skills, and decoration slots. This new Talisman system makes way for more diverse endgame builds!

Appraised Talismans (RNG Talismans) Rolls Guide

Upgrade Limit for Rarity 5 and Above Armors Increased

With the release of 9-star monsters, the max upgrade levels for armors rarity 5 and above have been increased further. This is so hunters can add a bit more defense before going against these challenging quests.

How to Upgrade Armor

Meal Durations Increased

50 min
(w/ Additional Ingredient)
