The latest free Title Update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, version 13.50.00, marks the return of Kulve Taroth and signals the impending arrival of Arch-Tempered Namielle. These two limited time Event Quests will challenge even the best Hunters in Seliana, but will yield some of the best rewards around.

[Master Rank Kulve Taroth Event Quest]
“The Eternal Gold Rush” will debut starting April 23rd 00:00 UTC (April 22nd 5:00pm PDT) and will take you back to the Caverns of El Dorado to confront the “Mother Goddess of Gold” Kulve Taroth for a final showdown. Unlike the Kulve Taroth Siege (High Rank), this will work as a standard Event Quest where you and up to three other Hunters will be tasked with slaying this magnificent Elder Dragon. Remember to work together and look out for some fiery new attacks that truly make this monster earn its Master Rank threat level.
NOTE: before you can take on the Master Rank version of Kulve Taroth, you’ll need to have met the specific eligibility requirements for joining the High Rank Kulve Taroth Siege. Chances are most of you are already eligible, but just in case, the first quest steps are to speak with the Admiral in Astera and investigate golden tracks.

[Glimmering Rewards]
Slay Kulve Taroth in this new quest, and you’ll get the dazzling Golden Kulve Pendant as well as new Master Rank grade materials. Take these to the Smithy to craft new Armor, Palico Gear, and finally, upgrade your High Rank appraised weapons. This Event Quest will not yield any new appraisal weapons, so if you’re looking to complete your collection, the Kulve Taroth Siege (High Rank) will also be available at the same time as “The Eternal Gold Rush”. And to sweeten the golden pot of rewards, we’ve increased the odds of rarer weapons being appraised from Incandescent Weapons.

[Arch-Tempered Namielle Event Quest]
A new Arch-Tempered Elder Dragon has emerged to challenge the fiercest Hunters of the Fifth Fleet: Arch-Tempered Namielle. Those brave enough to hunt it should come prepared to be faced with stronger attacks, higher elemental affinity and incredible endurance. “The Distant Dark Tide” will be available from May 1st 00:00 UTC (April 30th 5:00pm PDT) as a limited time Event Quest.

[Rewards with Depth]
Arch-Tempered Namielle won’t go down easily, but those who manage this feat will be rewarded with the Arch-Tempered Namielle Shard weapon pendant as well as materials to craft the Namielle Tentacle γ+ Armor Set . The γ (Gamma) series provides the best of both α (Alpha) and β (Beta) sets by offering deeper customization options to prepare for what comes next.
And if you’re looking to expand your Layered Armor wardrobe, item rewards from the Arch-Tempered Namielle quest can be used to craft the following layered sets: Artian armor, Black Belt armor, Guardian armor, Acrobat Earrings, and Showman Earrings.
Best of luck to you, Hunters!

Gather 'round, hunters, and see what's being served up in the next free title update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne!

[New Variant Monsters - Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios]
To access these two new superpowered brutes, you'll first need to complete Iceborne's story and complete the special assignments that fully expand the Guiding Lands and investigate the mysterious Red Dragon. Following that, you'll be asked to speak with the Tracker, who will give you two additional special assignments: Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios. These two monsters won't go down easily, but the rewards will be well worth the fight. The Furious Rajang armor has a fierce, primal style and the set bonus enhances a very appropriate skill called "Heroics" that grants you bonus attack power and defense rates if your health drops below a certain threshold—a burst of "furious" adrenaline that's bound to help in a pinch!

The Raging Brachydios armor also comes with set bonuses that match the monster, empowering various explosive attacks. Its weapons radiate with style and feature the monster's signature 'active slime' look. Good luck, hunters—you'll need it!

[New Additions for Your Room]
After a long day of hunting, kick back and relax in your room with all new paid DLC including various decor options and new background music options to play on the music player.

[New Guiding Lands Tool: the Banishing Ball]
The powerful new "Banishing Ball" item can be used in the Guiding Lands to drive any pesky large monster you'd like out of that expedition session. Expect the unexpected and pack a few of these on your next Guiding Lands run. Please note that only the quest leader can use the Banishing Ball.

[Upgraded Level Cap for Master Rank Armor]
Go beyond the current upgrade limits for master rank armor sets! The new cap for armor upgrades will vary based on your set's rarity, but will allow for some to go all the way up to a whopping level 20 should you be upgrading set that is Rarity 12.

[Layered Weapons System]
Much like the layered armor system that allows you to keep the stats of your favorite set while giving it a fresh new look, we're also introducing a new system called "layered weapons" that lets hunters do the same for your weapon of choice! Please note that the "layered weapons" system will be rolled out across the next few game updates starting with game version 13.01.00 on April 9th, and more options will be added in the upcoming updates.

[Steamworks Output Options]
A couple of changes have been made to the Steamworks this time around, including the ability to change the Steamworks' output, options to activate the "auto mode" after sending the Steamworks into Overdrive, and also allowing rewards to be collected on the round just before a Steamworks Overdrive.

[Improvements to the Hunter Helper Feature]
We're expanding the "Hunter Helper" system to cover even more players than ever before. In addition to getting rewards for helping newer hunters through low and high ranks, players can now receive rewards if you help master rank hunters who have a lower master rank than yourself. Master rank assignments may net you some Carved Feystones, while other master rank quests may reward you with a King Armor Sphere.

[Other Updates]
- Many new pendants have been added.
- Some extremely powerful charms have also received another upgrade tier: Fury Charm V, Power Charm V, Mighty Charm III, Challenger Charm V.
- Minor bug fixes and optimizations.
