(1) Title Update: Major Additions and Changes

On Thursday, November 22 at 00:00 a.m. UTC, we released Title Update 4, which includes some bug fixes.

Major New Content:

- Added Lunastra, a rare female Elder Dragon that litters the air with hot blue dust. There are reports of her traveling with her mate, Teostra. Her materials can be used to create new weapons, a unique armor set, and Palico armor. After completing the game (at HR 16 or higher), talk to the Huntsman in Astera to start the event. - Added a new specialized tool: the Temporal Mantle. This garment nullifies damage from powerful attacks by automatically evading.

Major Additions and Changes:

- Added "DOF (Depth of Field)" to the Advanced Graphics Settings. This feature allows you to enable/disable the functionality to adjust focus by changing the camera distance during scenes where you control your character (outside of cutscenes). - Added "Vignette Effects" to the Advanced Graphics Settings. This feature allows you to enable/disable shading of screen edges by adjusting the brightness between the center and peripheral areas during scenes where you control your character (outside of cutscenes). - Added a preset function to the Keyboard Settings, allowing you to save changes you made to the key configuration. Any presets you store to your save data will be accessible to all of your characters.

There are three categories

"Menu Controls Preset", "Melee Weapon Preset", and "Ranged Weapon Preset", each of which can hold up to 16 presets. - Added a "Default 2" option for 5-button mouse controls on top of the regular "Default" Keyboard Settings. - Changed the error messages that are displayed in the following circumstances: ・When the session is full: "Failed to join the session because it is full." ・When the session you tried to join no longer exists: "Failed to join the session because it has been deleted." - After re-evaluating the quest completion rewards for the Tempered Deviljho quest "Relish the Moment," we changed the "Fucium Ore" item drop to "Warped Feystone." - Changed the design of the Kulve Taroth quest so that, once you've received the rewards for the quest, you will not be able to post or join the quest for that particular Kulve Taroth again. If you cannot post or join a Kulve Taroth quest, you must either wait until the other players in the session have repelled the Kulve Taroth, or move to a different session. Then you will be able to post or join quests for a new Kulve Taroth. - The order of melding ingredients at the Elder Melder has been resorted according to the same sorting method used for items. In previous updates, new items were added to the end of the ingredient list, but now new additions will now follow this new sorting method. No items have been removed from the current ingredient list. For more details on the update, please refer to update announcements (2) and (3).
