Monster Hunter World Anniversary celebration kicks off today

The Monster Hunter World Anniversary celebration, Appreciation Fest, is live.

From today through February 21, Monster Hunter World players can enjoy the Anniversary celebration and earn some nice items in the process.

When logging in, you’ll notice the Hub and Arena Lasses, Event Manager, and Provisions Manager looking quite festive in their new duds. A special appreciation platter will be available in the gathering hub as well.

Like other events before it, during Appreciation Fest you’ll be able to earn materials from Seasonal Event Quests to forge special armor sets.

Use Appreciation Tickets to craft the special Gala Suit armor series and to craft the Star and Star α sets for your Palico.

Appreciation Tickets are obtained via login bonus and limited bounties, and can also be used to craft and upgrade the Fair Wind Lance, modeled after the Fifth Fleet’s banner.

New Layered Armor will also be available. Just talk to the Smithy in Astera after obtaining new tickets to unlock special delivery requests. Appreciation Tickets can be delivered to the Resource Center to get your layered armor. You can get an idea of how the new Monster Hunter World Anniversary layered pieces look in Arekkz’s video below.

Along with the new items, each facility in Astera will have sales for the duration. Expect discounts on various items or other special bonuses.

You can also enjoy new login bonuses and limited bounties too. Login to get two Lucky Vouchers plus an Appreciation Ticket, and complete bounties to earn Appreciation Fireworks and Appreciation Tickets.

During the event you can earn Gold Wyverian Prints by completing limited bounties on Wednesday and Sunday. Plus, just for participating in the Appreciation Fest, Monster Hunter World players will earn a new guild card background, pose, and titles.

Finally, almost all past event quests will be available. You can look over the currently available quests through the Monster Hunter World schedule.
