Monster Hunter World is celebrating its one-year anniversary with an event. The Festival of Gratitude brings back many event quests and collaborations.
What’s new? Monster Hunter: World is one year old. The developers are celebrating for almost an entire month with the “Festival of Gratitude” event. During the event, you will have the opportunity to get new outfits for your hunters and Palicos, as well as the following items:
- New backgrounds, titles, and poses for the guild card
- Costume “sparkling celebration” for the Poogie
- Costume “Friendly Felyne” for the field expert

The festival was introduced in the developer stream, and the video can be found here (starting at 13:30):

- Start: January 26, 2019

How do you get the Gratitude Tickets? The tickets are received each time you log into the game during the festival. The quantity of tickets is limited to one per day.
However, you can also obtain them from daily limited loot quests. As a little bonus, there’s also the Gratitude Firework.
What event quests are there during the festival? Almost all previous events will return for the duration of the festival. This means that players will not only be able to get the collaboration outfits and armor, but also have higher chances of gold crown monsters.

- Quest Name: The Greatest Jagras
