Monster Hunter Now – Season 7: Advent of the Exploration Base

With the beginning of autumn comes Monster Hunter Now – Season 7: Advent of the Exploration Base! Launching September 18, this new season brings additional monsters, the official launch of exploration bases, new features that make it easier to encounter quest-target monsters in the field and more

Additional Monsters: Hunters will face fierce foes in Espinas, Garangolm and Lunagaron. In addition, Riftborne Deviljho arrives September 22, and Deviljho weapons will now be eligible for style customization.
Exploration Bases: After successful beta testing, exploration bases are officially launching soon. Exploration bases are local landmarks that hunters grow together through cooperation.
Style Customization Update: First introduced in Season 6, style customization is receiving a major upgrade. The parameters that increase with each level of style customization will be raised, allowing customizable weapons to reach the max strength of currently available equipment. In addition, weapons that have been sufficiently customized will gain a special effect.
New Skills: The new season introduces six new skills to master, which can be added to the armor of Espinas, Garangolm and Lunagaron, including Pursuit, Ballistics, Reckless, Defender, Vital Fire and Vital Ice.
Easier to Find Your Desired Monsters: A new feature will let players select monster groups, changing which monsters appear in the field. This will make it much easier to find the ones they want to hunt.
Reduced Material Requirements for Weapons: Starting in Season 7, the amount of materials required to forge and upgrade most weapons will be reduced. This is a great opportunity to forge and upgrade weapons hunters haven't tried before.
