Every week, the event quests in Monster Hunter Wilds change and bring new experiences. One of the new quests brings back a popular item from previous entries. However, fans are disappointed.
Which event quest is it? The event features the quest named “Riotous Rampage,” where you have to hunt a Guardian Fulgur Anjanath (that is, defeat or capture it). For this, you will receive special materials to craft the headgear Dragon Cloth Scarf α.
If you want to unleash the daring anime hero within you, this is the perfect event quest for you. To play it, you must be at least Hunter Rank 21. You have until June 4, 2025, at 01:59 AM to secure the scarf.
The scarf was already a part of Monster Hunter World and was very popular, which is why many fans looked forward to it in Monster Hunter Wilds (via Reddit).
However, although many are excited about the cool scarf, the quest leaves a sour taste for many players in the community and highlights a fundamental issue that Monster Hunter Wilds seems to have with event quests from the critics’ perspective.
“Capcom needs to improve event quests”
What is the problem? While fans are generally very happy about the scarf and many hunters are currently sporting it, they believe that this very aspect is a problem, which is being discussed on Reddit and x.com: The event quest became active last night (May 21, 2025), and many players have already secured the item.
To obtain the materials needed for crafting, it is sufficient to complete the quest on average twice. Many players find this too easy and too quick, which in their view diminishes the uniqueness of the event items.
Players believe this problem also exists with other event quests, whose rewards often target hunters in the early or mid-game. They feel that long-term motivation suffers as a result, which is also reflected in the player numbers. These have dropped by 60% alone in the last 30 days (via SteamDB).
Therefore, players are calling via Reddit to spice up event quests and make them more challenging and rewarding:
- After_Gene_5689 writes: “And all that just to play the normal quests that are already in the game. You all just go in, grab the scarf (twice the quest), and disappear again. The game is dead. Capcom needs to improve event quests.”
- variantkin notes: “Well, that took ten minutes. I’m really glad the other events aren’t just for farming food… Oh. See you when the collaboration starts, I guess, Wilds.”
- Shaxxn comments: “Giving a minor reward to an existing monster doesn’t help [for player numbers]? Who would have thought!”
Nevertheless, the reward for the event quest is well received by fans, and many are excited to give their hunter a dramatic anime hero look. However, the desire for a bit more long-term motivation outside of arena quests is present.
Besides the event quests, other smaller and larger updates are supposed to keep players engaged. There should be a collaboration at the end of May and, in the summer, the next major title update with TU2.
