Monster Hunter Wilds

How to Prepare for Title Update 1

Add to Watchlist

How to Prepare for TU1
Preparing for the upcoming Title Update 1 in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) is important. Here's everything you should prepare before the launch of TU1, including builds, what monsters to look out for, and more!

What to Prepare for Title Update 1

Preparation Checklist





Have an Endgame Build Ready

Prepare Endgame Build
Before entering Title Update 1, it is ideal that you already have an endgame build for your main weapon. In doing so, you can jump straight into the Title Update without worrying about the monsters defeating you in just one hit.

Make sure to upgrade your Armor to increase your defense, as well as farm Decorations to get the Skills that you need.

Builds and Best Armor for Each Weapon

Reach At Least Hunter Rank 41

Reach High HR
It is ideal that you are at least Hunter Rank (HR) 41 before the Title Update launches. Title Updates from previous Monster Hunter games usually had a Hunter Rank requirement before you could take part in its quests.

Although no official announcement has been made yet regarding an HR requirement for Title Update 1, it's safe to assume that you must have at least finished the High Rank storyline, which uncaps your HR and allows you to go past HR40.

Learn More About Mizutsune

Mizutsune.png
Mizutsune is a returning monster first introduced back in Monster Hunter Generations, with its last appearance being in Monster Hunter Rise. Thanks to this, it is possible to study and learn about Mizutsune as early as now based on information from previous games.

To cover some of the basics, if you want to use an Elemental weapon on Mizutsune, make sure to bring a Thunder Element weapon as it is weak to Thunder. Additionally, bring Nulberries and Cleansers to counter the Blights it can cause.

Get Used to Fighting Tempered Monsters


It was previously announced that Title Update 1 will contain a monster that is above the level of Tempered Monsters. Because of this, getting used to fighting Tempered monsters will serve as good practice for when this new monster difficulty drops.

Prepare Your Stash of Consumables

Prepare Consumables
So that you can focus hunting once the Title Update arrives, make sure to stock up on important consumables so that you don't have to go out and gather materials you may be lacking like Thunderbug Capacitors for Shock Traps or Mandragoras for Max Potions.

Alternatively, you can also unlock the Material Retrieval to have them get your needed items for you.

Best Items to Bring on Hunts

Farm Zenny and Guild Points

Farm Zenny and Guild Points

It is possible that new features that require Zenny or Guild Points will get introduced in Title Update 1, such as new upgrade systems and the like. As such, farm as much Zenny and Guild Points as possible so you can prepare for them.
