Note: As of the 15.10 update, event quests are permanently available outside of fests. Siege quests for Kulve Taroth and Safi'jiiva are also alternated every two weeks. However, Joyful Tickets and VIP Joyful Tickets can only be readily earned during the Holiday Joy Fest. But you can also convert Tickets from other events to the Ticket of your choice at the Elder Melder.

During the Appreciation Fest, you can make equipment that will only be available for a limited time. Once the event is up, these items won't be available anymore so better make them as soon as possible!
Using Joyful Tickets and VIP Joyful Tickets obtained via Login Bonuses or Daily Bounties you can forge an armor set, a layered armor set, and a Palico armor set!

During this event there are quests that are great for raising your Hunter Rank. As your HR goes up more quests will unlock so those who have a low HR should take advantage of these quests!

At the Appreciation Festival, quests where Augmentation Materials are easily obtained will be made available. We recommend making sure to take advantage of this availability due to the rarity of Augmentation Materials.
Iceborne Weapon and Armor Augment Materials

During the Appreciation Festival, quests wherein you can easily obtain monster materials will be available.
There are a handful of unique quests that pop up that can be done during this event that are worth doing for unique items.

During this event, you get three Lucky Vouchers when you log in for the day instead of one. You can also get a Joyful Ticket as a login bonus during the event! Lucky Vouchers increase the rewards for a quest, and the Gratitude Tickets are limited time items that are only available at this time that you can turn into the workshop for seasonal event armor sets.

During this event the daily Limited Bounty will give you bonus items, such as Joyful Tickets and Snowmen! Yay!
Bounties

One of the Facilities that have more rewards is the Steamworks. Head over there and help fuel Seliana to receive special Complimentary Items! When you finish the Steamworks Task successfully, you will be given one Gold Melding Ticket and one Luxury Platter.
How to Use the Steamworks
During the event, facilities will hold a sale for their items, making them cheaper. No better time to stock up on hunting supplies and head out to hunt than now!

Additionally, there is a special meal only available at the Gathering Hub for the duration of the Fest. The Seasonal Platter does not cost ingredients and buffs your character with 50 health and stamina points, and it has three star activation for food abilities! Don’t forget to fill up before a quest!

The Holiday Joy Fest occurs when you enter the Gathering Hub in Seliana. If you’re just getting started, keep in mind you need to unlock the Gathering Hub in the story before being able to do this!
