The Bubble Fox Dragon Mizutsune returns to the monster hunter as part of Title Update 1. Hunters that are interested in challenging Mizutsune first need to reach HR 21+ before speaking to Kanya in the Scarlet Forest to unlock Mizutsune hunts.

Once you've obtained enough Mizutsune materials, you can craft equipment for your Hunter or Palico.
Mizutsune GuideHigh Rank Zoh Shia
Hunters who have reached HR 50+ will be able to re-challenge Zoh Shia via the Environment Overview screen once Title Update 1 goes live. There will be a low probability of encountering Zoh Shia in the Ruins of Wyveria which can then be turned into a quest once the fight begins.
Craft Zoh Shia Equipment
Hunting Zoh Shia again will unlock materials for crafting exclusive Zoh Shia equipment which was not available for crafting prior to Title Update 1.
Zoh Shia GuideArch-Tempered Rey Dau
Arch-Tempered Monsters are going to be introduced as part of Title Update 1, with the first monster being an Arch-Tempered Rey Dau. These Arch-Tempered
monsters are even stronger than Tempered Monsters, so make preparations to hunt the Arch-Tempered Rey Dau by reaching HR 50+ before it releases as a limited-time event quest on April 29!
Craft Gamma (γ) Series Armor
Successfully defeating an Arch-Tempered Rey Dau will grant exclusive monster materials used for crafting Gamma series armor! So be sure to hunt the Arch-Tempered Rey Dau while it's available!
Arch-Tempered Rey Dau GuideThe Grand Hub
The Grand Hub will be available as a new feature for Hunters who have reached HR 16+ once Title Update 1 goes live. To get here, speak to Tetsuzan in Suja, the Peaks of Accord.
This location will mainly be used as a staging area for many of Monster Wilds' seasonal events. Additionally, Hunters who gather at the Grand Hub can interact with one another in various new ways, such as playing the Barrel Bowling mini-game to earn in-game prizes!
The Grand Hub GuideArena Quests
Hunters who can access the Grand Hub will subsequently be able to accept Arena Quests by visiting the Arena Quest Counter. Teams of up to 2 Hunters will be able to participate in Arena Quests to compete for the fastest quest clear times on a global ranking.
Acquire Cosmetic Pendants
By participating in either Challenge Quests or Free Challenge Quests, Hunters can earn cosmetic items known as Pendants
to hang off of their weapons. Hunters who rank the highest can earn more luxurious variants of these pendants to show off their hunting prowess!
Festival of Accord: Blossomdance
The Festival of Accord: Blossomdance will be held as a seasonal event for the coming of spring. This event will be held on April 22, and will be signified when the Grand Hub changes its decorations and available food.
During the event, limited-time equipment, gestures, and decorations for your Pop-Up Camps will be up for grabs, so make sure to participate once spring comes rolling around!
Festival of Accord: Blossomdance RewardsAlma Outfits
Players will now have the option to change Alma's outfit, as well as her glasses! Once Free Title Update 1 arrives, players will receive the free Scrivener's Coat outfit, with additional outfits being added as DLC!
