Add-on

Bonus Content

I cannot receive/find my limited bonus content (Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight and Talisman: Hope Charm).

Some armor may be hidden due to the filter option which can be found at the top of the Forge/Upgrade Armor list. Try changing the filter to "Show All" and check whether the armor appears in the list.



If the armor still does not appear, try changing the sort option below the filter to "Default" and check again.

The new armor does not appear in the forge list despite meeting the requirements to unlock it at the Smithy.

Certain skills can cause the hunter's status to decrease.

A defense down icon does not disappear.

A feature has been added with the Ver.1.021.00.00 update, which allows players to hide/show specific ammo and coatings in the Ammo/Coatings Bar. To toggle the "Show/Hide Ammo (Coatings)" option at the Ammo/Coatings Pouch menu, go to Start Menu &gt; Items &amp; Equipment &gt; Check Item Pouch, or enter a tent and go to Item Menu &gt; Transfer Items.



A marker will be displayed on the upper right corner of each ammo/coating icon if it is hidden, so please check their visibilitiy status if you cannot find an ammo or coating.

Some ammo and coatings do not appear in the Ammo/Coatings Bar.

In order to accept an event quest, players need to hunt/slay the same target monster of the same rank that appears during the story progression. If you are unable to accept the event quest, please try progressing through your main missions.

An event quest cannot be accepted even though the necessary conditions are met.

If a Cosmetic DLC Pack is released after you have purchased the Cosmetic DLC Pass including the pack, you must perform the following procedures in order to apply the content to the game.
