The Driftstone event will drastically reduce the Driftsmelting time.

The Driftstone event for Monster Hunter will begin on July 2, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. (local time) and will continue until August 4, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. (local time).

Event details

At the Driftsmelting Bonanza, players can obtain Mysterious Driftstone A and Driftgem A by defeating any big creature.

The most effective method of obtaining Mysterious Driftstone A is by defeating Azure Rathalos and Black Diablos, as they both have a chance of dropping this item instead of their usual Driftstone drops.

Forest habitats will experience higher spawn rates for Azure Rathalos, while desert habitats will see a greater presence of Black Diablos.

To make things even more thrilling, the distance needed for Driftsmelting with Driftstones acquired during this event will be halved from the usual 5 km to 2.5 km. This will significantly decrease the time spent on farming skills.

Nevertheless, smelting Driftgems, including the Mysterious Driftgem A, will still necessitate a distance of 5 km.

Mysterious Driftstone A & Driftgem A Skills

A new type of Driftstone will be dropped by Azure Rathalos and Black Diablos.

Both Mysterious Driftstone A and Mysterious Driftgem A have the potential to grant you the same armor skills:

  • Dragon Attack: Enhances the strength of Dragon-based Attacks.
  • Critical Boost: Boosts the damage dealt by critical hits.

Having both of these skills is highly beneficial, especially Critical Boost which significantly reduces hunting times by increasing damage from critical hits. Additionally, the Dragon Attack skill is also advantageous in defeating Kushala Daora, the toughest monster in the game.
