The next Spotlight Hour is coming up in Pokémon GO. As usual, you can expect a Pokémon and a bonus here.
What kind of event is this? The Spotlight Hour is a small recurring event. It takes place every Tuesday and lasts exactly 60 minutes. During this time, at least one Pokémon is in focus and appears in very high numbers in the game.
Additionally, there is a bonus that is also active during the 60 minutes.
On March 11, 2025, Roselia will be waiting for you. The Grass-Poison Pokémon comes from the 3rd generation. It has a pre-evolution in Budew and can also evolve into Roserade.

Spotlight Hour on March 11 – Start and Bonuses
When does the Spotlight Hour start? The Spotlight Hour starts, as you are used to, at 6:00 PM. It ends again at 7:00 PM.
What bonus is active? During the event, there is a bonus for evolving Pokémon. For each Pokémon you evolve, you receive double the amount of experience points. The bonus applies to all evolutions you perform.
Can you catch Shiny Roselia? Yes, with a bit of luck, you might also encounter the Shiny variant of Roselia.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? Roserade, the evolution of Roselia, can be played as both a Grass and a Poison attacker. In both variants, you will find the monster on the list of best attackers in Pokémon GO.
In the Battle League, however, you should not rely on Roserade. Unfortunately, it is not a serious contender there.
If you currently have some Pokémon that you want to evolve, you can use the event to gain some extra experience points. If you use Lucky Eggs, you will receive a total of four times the experience points.
As usual, March not only offers the Spotlight Hours in the game. There are many other events and content that await you in the coming weeks. If you want to know what they are, take a look at our overview of all events in March 2025 in Pokémon GO.

The new MMORPG Erenshor has announced its release date on Steam: Early Access starts on April 14, 2025. The special thing about this online role-playing game: It is an MMORPG for one person. Only the player is a real human, all other avatars in the world are computer-simulated NPCs that are supposed to behave like humans.
This is the idea of the game: Erenshor is the project of Brian “Burgee”, who has been working almost every night on his MMORPG simulation for 4 years, inspired by classic online role-playing games like EverQuest.
A world of the game is populated only by one player. All other characters in the world are “SimPlayers”, computer-controlled or simulated players who are supposed to level up, loot, and interact with each other.
The player is supposed to feel like part of an MMORPG that, at the same time, caters to their wishes and times. This is because the disadvantage of MMORPGs in today’s ultra-individualized times is that gaming on a schedule and social rules, as traditionally required by MMORPGs, is no longer contemporary for many.

Erenshor – The game world in the trailer
MMORPG for one player aims to offer 4 playable classes at release
This is how the MMORPG is supposed to launch: On April 14, 2025, the MMORPG is set to enter Early Access on Steam. At launch, it promises (via gamerant):
4 playable classes
35+ zones
over 1,000 items to find
Anyone wanting to get a glimpse of Erenshor, the MMORPG for one person, can download a free demo on Steam .
Demo is highly praised on Steam – but will there be a harsh awakening at release?
What’s behind it. The solo developer has been actively promoting his project in MMORPG forums for years, pouring in full passion. This is apparent. The demo has received almost only praise and positive reviews with 247 reviews – 98% of the reviews give a thumbs up.
Even though one might scoff at such one-man projects, there seems to be considerable potential behind the idea. Let’s see how Erenshor is received when it leaves the cozy demo phase for hardcore fans into the open and rough world of Steam.
An open question is certainly how well Erenshor manages to simulate real players. This sounds extremely ambitious for a one-man project.
Monster Hunter Wilds has been available to everyone for just over a week. Now, some players are showing that they have managed to reach the maximum hunter rank in record time. This has led to speculation in the community about how this is possible.
What have the players actually achieved? On X, more and more Japanese players are proudly showing their hunter profile. Seen on it is the maximum hunter rank of 999, as well as often the playtime and the number of different monsters or all missions:
User @xtk_q_ shares his achievement of JR 999 in about 134 hours and 1776 quests via x.com.
User @AfxiqMHW proudly posts a similar playtime of around 135 hours with 1992 missions via x.com.
@SoR4Ko does not share his playtime via x.com, but shares a total of 1836 quests to reach his goal.
Many other Japanese players on X claim to have achieved similar things. Their accomplishments are leading to an extensive debate in the community. After all, the game has only been out for just over a week – 7 days correspond to about 168 hours, and the shared posts are from March 7, 2025.
Fans are questioning how they could have accomplished this in such a short time, while other ambitious grinders with around 100+ hours of playtime find themselves far below this rank (via Reddit). They have some thoughts and ideas on this.
What theories do the fans have? Many fans doubt that it is possible to achieve hunter rank 999 in such a time. On Reddit, they are therefore presenting various considerations and discussions about whether and how this can be possible without cheats or mods being used.
They have some specific theories:
The account was used simultaneously by several people.
They could exploit quests with high XP output by spamming monster hunts with two hardened opponents with a hunting time of 1 to 2 minutes.
They could have joined many hunts just before the objective was completed.
They could have worked as a group to maximize the XP output and share suitable hunts.
The community mainly suspects group work to maximize experience as quickly and efficiently as possible while investing little time. However, many also suspect the use of cheats and mods, such as those that allow the hunter rank to rise faster. Some comments under the respective players’ posts on X at least partially confirm this assumption (via x.com).
The most likely theory aligns with the assumption that efficient groups were working. Among Japanese players, there are optimized groups that specialize in heavy bowguns and can complete optional high-rank quests in under 2 minutes, as seen on YouTube.
Even with this tactic, reaching the maximum hunter rank in such a short time is really ambitious. It is also not entirely clear whether the respective players had access to the game before the release. So far, none of the Japanese players have commented on how they managed to achieve this so quickly.
How they actually achieved this accomplishment remains a mystery for now. If you want to try to achieve it with the current community theories, you should find a good group with ambitious fellow hunters.
Jon Bellamy is the new CEO at Jagex. He succeeds Phil Mansell as head of the studio after 14 years. To mark his start, the new head of RuneScape and Old School RuneScape makes a big promise that many players will likely appreciate.
What does the new CEO of Jagex promise? MeinMMO had already reported that Old School RuneScape is set to receive a graphics update under the new leadership of CEO Jon “Mod North” Bellamy in a few months. However, various other topics came up during a Q&A session on YouTube.
Particularly exciting were Bellamy’s statements regarding microtransactions. In this regard, the new CEO stated:
In Old School RuneScape, there will never be microtransactions, and RuneScape 3 needs to rely less aggressively on monetization to ensure sustainability for the next 25 years. This is as clear to me as it can be. I have seen firsthand how these hyper-monetized games look on mobile; that is not what our games are, and it is not what they need. It is completely incompatible.
Here you can watch the Steam trailer for Old School RuneScape:
Start video
Old School RuneScape – Trailer for the Steam Release
The right words for the start
Why are microtransactions currently a topic? Before Jon Bellamy joined Jagex, he worked for companies like HugeGames, which focus heavily on monetization, especially in mobile games.
Moreover, it was not long ago that the developers of RuneScape landed in hot water with a survey that included topics like the introduction of in-game advertising for subscribers, exclusive access for paying players to advanced account protection options, exclusive support, or a subscription with limited access.
Though the management quickly clarified due to the subsequent backlash that these were merely theoretical ideas that would not be implemented, the team lost quite a bit of trust. There was a flood of negative reviews on Steam, which also affected our list of the 10 MMORPGs on Steam with the best ratings.
In the Q&A session, Jon Bellamy referred to the survey as a “misstep.” Under his leadership, they now want to gradually break the game’s design, which has revolved around microtransactions for 20 years, to remove them step by step from the game.
The D&D MMO Neverwinter has announced that it will bring more updates into the game more often. It starts tomorrow.
What kind of game is this? Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG. It takes place in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, specifically in the world of ‘Forgotten Realms’. The game was released in 2013 for PC and is now also playable on Xbox and PlayStation.
After the game, like it did at the end of last year, regularly brings new updates and content, there is now a change in the update cycles. This change promises one thing: even more content.
Here you can see the trailer for the expansion ‘As Above, So Below – Return to Pirates’ Skyhold’
Start video
Neverwinter: Trailer zur Erweiterung „As Above, So Below – Return to Pirates’ Skyhold“
More smaller updates
What kind of change is this? The major expansions, called modules in the game, will now also have a smaller counterpart. These so-called ‘Interludes’ are supposed to according to the developers “deliver additional content, exciting events, and quality of life improvements between the main module releases”.
Those who are now concerned that this will lead to the larger modules coming less frequently in the future or requiring a longer development time can breathe easy.
The interludes are not meant to displace or delay the development of the larger modules. Rather, they are intended to serve as smaller updates between the modules.
According to the developer’s announcement, they provide “more opportunities to bring new rewards, fresh challenges, and meaningful updates into the game. Consider them as bonus updates that offer even more reasons to dive back into Neverwinter.”
When do the interludes begin? The first interlude update will start on March 11, 2025, and will be titled ‘The Bloom Before the Blood’. Here you can expect three major events, some QoL improvements, and new collectibles until April 24, 2025.
The strategy game “Wartales” celebrates a major update with significant changes to your battles. Those who have always wanted to test the game on Steam now have the opportunity with the current sale.
Your troop can also be customized and expanded to fit your play style. Battles are turn-based, as befits a strategy game. However, the AI was considered predictable, but with its latest update, that should change.

Wartales – Official Release Trailer
New Maps and Adjustments to AI
What has changed with the update? Primarily, the AI for enemies and your troop has been modified. They acted very predictably and usually targeted the nearest enemies. The new update aims to counteract this and provide a more realistic and unpredictable gameplay experience.
Regarding your allies, they will consider all factors of the battle. This includes:
Available skills
Traps
Nearby dangers
Prioritizing their own survival over dealing damage
As for enemies, they will also adhere to the listed factors, but there are differences depending on the chosen difficulty level.
At the easier levels, there is mostly just a movement boost. However, if you raise the level, your enemies will also use the terrain and their immediate surroundings to their advantage – so prepare for unpredictable moves. Additionally, 7 new battle maps have been created, which take place on roads.
90% of Players are Satisfied and Celebrate the Mercenary Life
How good is the game? If you’re looking for a comparison, Wartales could represent a mix of Mount & Blade and Xcom. Of 25,794 reviews (as of March 10, 2025, 11:07 AM), 90% of them are positive, resulting in a rating of “Very Positive”.
Players like bobofari particularly celebrate the storytelling of Wartales and the interactions with NPCs. Players can strengthen their relationships with teammates in their camps, deepen them, or even betray each other, which creates a nice immersion.
gooner113 praises especially the depth of the game world, which seems understandable for every player. You can engage fully or completely avoid it and do your own thing. He gives the game 5 stars.
How much does the game cost? Wartales is on sale on Steam until March 13, priced at 17.49 € instead of 34.99 €. There are also bundles with expansions that are also discounted. So it’s worth taking the plunge if you are interested.
Have you already played Wartales and can share your experiences with the game? There are many RPGs with great stories, but sometimes you also want to unleash the villain within. Here we present you with 10 titles where you can do that: 10 RPGs to unleash the villain within

The first assembly line in 1914 led to the average weekly working hours being reduced from 48 to 40 hours. Now, there could be the next revolutionary reduction to a 3.5-day week – meanwhile, the 4-day week has not yet taken hold globally.
How is that possible? Eric S. Yuan is the CEO of Zoom and explains (via LinkedIn), how it might be possible to further reduce working hours. He believes that “digital twins” can facilitate our working lives and take over many automatic processes:
The artificial intelligence we know today will evolve into intelligent, digital assistants capable of drafting responses to emails that we can send right at the start of the day, helping us decide which meetings to attend, and even assisting us in contract negotiations, thus reducing our workload.
The AI twins are supposed to be fully personalized and could create more room to prioritize creative and strategic tasks. According to him, this could trigger a productive revolution that could even go beyond the 4-day week, that some employees are secretly working.

Why do tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg keep wearing the same clothes?
Digital twins could enable a 3.5-day week
How can working hours be further reduced? The CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, believes in the introduction of a 3.5-day week (via Bloomberg). According to him, this working time model could lead to dramatic changes in productivity and an increase in quality of life.
He swears by the support of artificial intelligence, as Yuan mentioned. AI could take over around 60 to 70% of the tasks that currently consume employees’ time.
He believes that this model could become standard for the next generation. Employees could live to be 100 years old and could probably already benefit from the 3.5-hour week. And who knows, maybe his vision will come true sooner.
His own company, the largest bank in America, has already implemented AI in many areas. Therefore, Dimon is a suitable expert to assess AI in the workplace.
In Pokémon GO, you can recently obtain a new legendary monster. Getting candies for it is relatively simple.
What kind of monster is this? With the start of the new season in Pokémon GO, a new special research has been unlocked that you can complete. Here, you will receive a Dynamax Dakuma as a reward relatively early.
Although the evolution is not yet activated in Pokémon GO, you may still need additional candies for Dakuma to level up the monster or teach it new regular and Dyna attacks. And this can be done relatively easily.
Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
Placing Pokémon, Receiving Candies
What trick is this? With Dynamax monsters, you can participate in power sources in Dynamax battles. If you have successfully completed such a battle, you can then place a monster at the power source.
This helps other trainers who conduct a Dynamax battle at the power source. It not only helps the trainers to complete battles more easily and quickly, but also rewards you.
The more battles your Dyna monster conducts at a power source in this way, the more candies you can receive as a reward. Currently, up to 5 candies per power source for a monster are possible. Once your Pokémon has received these 5 candies, you can call it back. Alternatively, it will also return when the power source disappears.
In that case, you can then place your Pokémon at a new power source after you have defeated the monster there. Since your monster quickly receives candies and the power sources are only active for a few days, you can utilize several power sources each week to receive more candies.
Especially for a new legendary Pokémon like Dakuma, this can be a major advantage. Currently, there is no other way to catch Dakuma specimens in the wild. This means that you can only obtain further Dakuma candies through the use of rare special candies and by taking the monster as a buddy.
However, since it is a legendary monster, you would have to plan for 20 km to receive one candy each time.
By the way, regarding planning: there will also be many events with different contents in Pokémon GO in March 2025. If you want to already mark the most interesting events in your calendar, our overview with all events in March 2025 in Pokémon GO will help you with that.

In Path of Exile 2, the developers held an official race where players were to complete Acts 1-3. The fastest participants could win a prize. However, it was unexpected that the winner played a Warrior class, which is generally considered the worst class, and still won by a large margin.
What kind of race is this? In Path of Exile 2, the developers recently announced 3 races (via PathofExile.com) where the best players of their class can win a prize. These events were intended to bridge the time until the major patch 0.2.0.
The first of these races has now taken place, but surprisingly, the winner played the Warrior, generally deemed the worst class, and still won by a 40-minute margin. After just 2 hours and 28 minutes, the player Angormus reached the goal, the boss Doryani.
This NPC also makes every speedrun faster:

Achieving success with the worst class
How did he do it? The rules for the competition were simple: whoever is the first player of their class to defeat the boss Doryani in Act 3 wins. If a participant dies, they must not move for one minute.
The player Angormus won the race by a landslide, even though he plays the Warrior, arguably the “worst” class. It is often said that the Warrior has a slow clear speed and lacks easy access to good defensive stats. However, this categorization does not seem to apply in the early game.
Angormus made full use of the class’s potential and a trick during the speedrun. He interrupted the animation of the ability Boneshatter by executing a Rolling Slam before the attack. This ensures that the second part of the animation is not triggered and directly causes high area damage.
With Leap Slam and Shield Charge, the Warrior can also cover distances faster than other classes early in the game, which Angormus utilized to his advantage. You can see how this looks in the speedrun on YouTube:

Did luck also play a role? Definitely, Angormus was quite lucky regarding his items. Early in the run, he found boots with “+15 % Movement-Speed”, received items with high health and resistance stats, as well as a unique belt.
However, the most important item was the two-handed staff he found in a chest. It provided +67 % more physical damage. The enchantments also received bonus damage of the Physical and Cold type.
With these strong items, he managed to complete Act 3 as a level 28 character in just 2 hours and 28 minutes, even though the final boss “Doryani” is level 45. While in the early acts you have limited power over your character, later on, with the right items, you can successfully play even the craziest builds. One player made their character so fast that the game broke: Player builds fastest character in Path of Exile 2, making the game unplayable

In the level phase of Monster Hunter Wilds, you will encounter limits beyond which you cannot increase your hunter rank at first glance until you have made certain progress in the story. The good news: Your earned XP will not be lost!
What are these limits? In Monster Hunter Wilds, you often have the choice of whether to take on a quest from the main story or an optional hunt or task next. However, sometimes the story will only continue after you have achieved a sufficiently high hunter rank through other activities.
Just as you level up, you will occasionally encounter an invisible barrier that will only be lifted once you have progressed far enough in the main story. That is to say: Until then, your hunter rank will not increase, no matter what else you do.
This is what awaits you after the main story of Monster Hunter Wilds:
Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds: What to Expect After the Main Story
No experience points are lost!
Wait, will I lose my earned XP? Don’t worry, nothing is lost! Until you reach the next milestone in the story that raises the limit for the hunter rank, the game keeps track of every experience point you earn in the background.
Once you have progressed far enough in the story, all the saved XP will come crashing down into your hunter account, often resulting in various rank-ups in just a few moments. The extent this can take is shown in the post by shiikurox on Reddit.
The player got so lost in side quests with hunter rank 40 that he eventually received 63 level-ups (!) all at once. The community celebrates this with about 4,000 upvotes and over 130 comments.
Caaros writes on Reddit: “This reminds me of the time in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate when I jumped from hunter rank 7, or whatever the last limit is, to hunter rank 112 in one go.”
AJ_Belmont22 can’t believe it (via Reddit): “This is crazy, lmao, I thought I had a high jump, from 40 to 51.”
Elegant-Victory9721 is already looking forward to his jump (via Reddit): “Man, that will be me, lol. I have been stuck at 40 for two days […]. I am almost through all the optional quests and then have no side tasks left…”
iamcll wonders on Reddit how such a huge jump is possible. He himself has done all the optional quests but only jumped from hunter rank 40 to 64. thalesjferreira explains on Reddit that he was able to achieve at least 45 level-ups by farming all the armors and weapons available up to that point.

Elden Ring features not only a massive open world but also extremely challenging bosses that outshine even the enemies from Dark Souls. But which of them is actually the strongest? MyMMO’s Souls expert Christos Tsogos examines the top bosses and ranks them.
How is this ranking created? This is not just about the gameplay of the bosses, that is, how difficult a boss is to defeat. Instead, we assess how powerful the bosses are according to their lore and story.
Although Elden Ring is primarily known for its gameplay, there is a huge world behind the games filled with massive lore that fans compile in incredibly large databases. The ranking is derived from descriptions of items, dialogues with NPCs, and quests.
Who is writing here?
MyMMO author Christos Tsogos has been exploring the lore of Elden Ring since its release. With fan theories, lore videos, and summaries of all the information available, Christos has acquired extensive background knowledge. Enough to determine which bosses from the base game and DLC are the most powerful.
In doing so, only their theoretical strengths and their power and influence in the world are considered. However, our ranking encourages discussions. If you disagree, feel free to let us know in the comments.
Important about the ranking: The list also includes the bosses from the DLCs. To keep the list manageable, I have focused on the 10 strongest with a detailed top 5.
These are the strongest:
10th place: Radahn, the promised bridegroom (DLC)
9th place: Malenia, Miquella’s blade
8th place: Bayle the Terrible (DLC)
7th place: Dragonlord Placidusax
6th place: Godfrey, First Elden Lord

5th place: Midra, Lord of the Raging Flame
Midra, Lord of the Raging Flame
The story of Midra lies hidden in the Shadowlands. Along with his disciples, he tried to conjure the Raging Flame and cleanse the world of the Golden Order. Midra was on the verge of becoming the Lord of the Raging Flame himself. But when he found out what it truly meant to surrender to the Raging Flame, he withdrew from his fate.
Despite his renouncement, the Horned Heralds executed him and drove the Greatsword of Damnation through his body to ensure the Raging Flame could not escape.

Harry Potter has made it into eight movies that provide very good entertainment. Nevertheless, they are not perfect. Some of the biggest film mistakes are shown in this article.
What counts as a film mistake? We mean inconsistencies that occurred during filming and made it into the finished film. Sometimes they are really obvious, in other cases, you have to look closely to discover them.
Some of the mistakes we’ve listed may only have been noticed by particularly attentive viewers during the first viewing.
We are more interested in the small and big blunders that the creators themselves did not notice during the editing process and that made it into the final theatrical version.

Hermione’s Hair in “The Sorcerer’s Stone”
At Hogwarts, a special wind seems to be blowing. At least, you get this impression when you look closely at Hermione’s hairstyle in the first film. Sometimes her hair changes as if by magic after a cut.
Want an example? During the first flying lesson, her hair is smooth in one shot, but after the next cut, a distinct crinkle pattern is visible. Hermione is indeed a witch, but it cannot be assumed that she has mastered this trick at the very beginning of her first school year.
How can the mistake happen? It is an obvious film mistake likely due to the long filming time. The scene was probably shot over several days, and different takes were combined in the edit. Unfortunately, it was forgotten that Hermione’s hair was styled differently on different days.

The US guild Liquid has secured the top position in the World-First race of the new raid instance from World of Warcraft. With Stix Kojenschrotter, they set the first real challenging progress blocker on the mat.
Team Liquid was the first guild ever to conquer the mythic fight against raid boss Stix Kojenschrotter. They needed 114 attempts for this.
For the kill, Liquid had a protection warrior and a blood death knight for the tank positions. They also had three healers (2x monk, 1x discipline priest), 5 melee dps, and ten ranged dps (mostly balance druids, shadow priests, and fire mages).
The biggest competitors – Instant Dollars, Echo, and Method – are happily wiping on Kojenschrotter and have 82, 63, and 75 pulls respectively, with Echo already managing to bring the boss below 3 percent. In total, 9 guilds are at boss number 3.

For comparison: For the fourth bosses from the previous 5 raid instances, only 36 pulls were needed in total (!).

On Monday, March 10, 2025, at 9:00 AM, Monster Hunter Wilds received its latest patch, bringing it to version 1.000.05.00. This addresses several annoying issues that have made life difficult for many hunters over the past week– including a bug that caused severed monster parts not to be what they should be.
What bug is this about? A strange bug caused some hunters to diligently sever monster parts, but they did not receive the parts belonging to the monster. They simply transformed into completely different monster parts from other beings.
This should change with the patch. You will get back the parts and loot you are working towards, instead of having to hope for the right parts like a surprise bag.
Another similarly bizarre bug caused monsters to behave strangely and show altered movement patterns that confused their hunters. Additionally, this bug led to some game crashes.
Today’s patch aims to fix these problems and others that have complicated hunters’ lives since the release. You can read the full patch notes here.
Update: This post is from March 8, 2025, and has been revised in light of today’s patch.

In addition to the two bizarre bugs mentioned above, the new patch intends to address the following issues:
The “Meal Invitation” event with Azuz and Sild does not occur in some cases.
A problem with using equipment sets that causes decorations to be removed from the equipment, resets the customization of the bows to default values, and causes insect glaives to revert to their original rarity.
When severing monster parts, these are sometimes replaced by parts from another monster.
Gravios does not receive resistance to staggering after breaking its body parts.
A problem that can cause crashes in certain situations or cause some monsters to behave strangely.
Some abilities may be unintentionally activated under certain conditions.
Some items/rewards can be received repeatedly under certain conditions.
When trying to catch a fish with a net, the surrounding fish do not swim away from the fishing spot.
Some environmental features, such as floating debris, can be activated multiple times.
A problem where the main quest: Chapter 5-1 “Omen” cannot be continued.

Scrolling through the quest list only displays the first 20 quests correctly.
A problem that may cause the game to terminate when starting with saved data that previously led to a forced exit.
Once the update is available, all online sessions will be terminated, and you will need to perform an update to continue playing online.
These issues are known and will be fixed soon
The following issues are currently known and will be addressed in one of the upcoming patches:
A network error occurs when an SOS flare is fired immediately after starting a quest.

Behind the scenes, the team at Monster Hunter Wilds is continuously working to resolve existing issues and bring new content for its hunters. At the beginning of April, the first title update featuring two new monsters and more is already set to release.
MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz is currently playing Monster Hunter Wilds with great enthusiasm. In this article, he introduces you to his rogue … um … hunter.
If you have read my article about my personal “Rook” from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you’ll know: The rogue is strong within me. My main character in WoW has relied on leather and short blades for 20 years. In Elder Scrolls Online, I play a Khajiit Nightblade, with two one-handed weapons and a bow. In Guild Wars 2, I’m a Thief, in Final Fantasy 14 a Monk. I could go on forever.
There is just something fantastic about diving into melee combat relatively mobile and pummeling the opponent’s health points down to zero with numerous quick attacks while deftly dodging enemy attacks that would quickly send you to the ground due to your rather low defense.
Who is writing here? Karsten Scholz is not only the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO, but also a big fan of the RPG genre in general. However, he only got to know and love Monster Hunter late, namely with World. After that, he played Generations Ultimate on the Switch and Rise on the PC. And now, of course, Wilds.

Dual Blades? Exactly My Thing!
Of course, this rogue preference has always influenced many non-MMO games. In Monster Hunter World, I got stuck with the dual blades after a short training session, and they are still my first choice in Wilds.
The official description from the game is truly applicable: Continuous, wild attacking with two blades is just much more my style than taking a massive swing with a giant sword and possibly missing that one very powerful strike because the monster just won’t stand still. That drives me crazy.
Additionally, it feels great to unleash long combos with the activated demon mode, landing countless hits in just a few seconds. Or to target a wound with a focus attack and then acrobatically swirl over the creature’s back with a click, unleashing high burst damage.
By the way, I play Monster Hunter Wilds on PC, with mouse and keyboard … and it almost feels like cheating to precisely open and target wounds. However, I get annoyed every time I have to press Y to let my Saikrii stop … you can’t have everything.
With dual blades against a huge dragon … pure fun!
A Matter of Play Style
My hunter is currently going on hunts without human companions, but with his loyal Palico. I really enjoy that the little rascal sets traps, throws barrels, heals, cleanses, and distracts monsters. Especially because I often tend to be too lazy to use the whole range of tools.
Usually, I focus on letting my dual blades do the talking, triggering wounds, and then attacking them carefully. Only with certain monsters do I use capsules from my mount to deal extra damage from a distance.
And of course, the Saikrii comes into play when I need to heal or sharpen my weapons, or when it’s time to hop onto the monster’s back. So far, I’m managing quite well through the game. But the toughest challenges still lie ahead of me.
I have only been in high rank for a few hours and am constantly unlocking new weapons and armor. The first high-rank set I crafted is the Quematrice Alpha set, which shines with 3x power release, 3x unimpressed, 3x fire resistance, and 1x dodge distance.
However, as soon as possible, I want to farm the high-rank version of the Nu-Udra set, which I liked the most visually at low rank. But see for yourself:
The Nu-Udra set evokes memories of Warframe and Destiny.
When it comes to weapons, I currently use Quematrice Silexes III and Uth Ngarpatu I the most, though I switch to other dual blades if it’s clear that the next monster has a different weakness than water or fire.
However, I also want to try the Guild Knight Sabers, the improved version of the Chthon-Kurasigama, Bone Blades IV, and Whirling Fulgur I – but I still need individual materials for all those weapons. I just unlocked the ability to craft Artian weapons.
As for my Palico, he currently wears the Guardian Arkveld Helm, the Guardian Arkveld Armor, and the Guardian Arkveld Sword. Why? Because it looks really cool! I haven’t thought much more about the outfit of my feline companion so far.
Karsten’s Palico wears white.

In March 2025, a new shooter called FragPunk was released. MyMMO editor Dariusz Müller gives you 4 reasons why you should try the game yourself.
What kind of game is FragPunk?
FragPunk is a hero shooter where teams can choose game cards at the beginning of a round. These game cards have various effects. For example, they can change the weather, give your opponents larger heads, or block the healing of enemies.
Games are played 5v5, and the attacking team must plant a type of bomb at one of 2 spots (A or B). The defenders must prevent this. There is no respawn.
The heroes all have different abilities, including a sonar scan, a smoke wall, or healing mushrooms.
The weapons are independent of the heroes, but if you lose a weapon due to death, you can no longer select it specifically. However, there is the option to receive a random weapon from a machine.
In the event of a tie, the teams face off in 1v1 duels.

FragPunk: Beginning of October starts the beta for the hero shooter on Steam
1. Game cards provide a unique gameplay twist
With the game cards you choose at the start of each round, the course of the round inevitably changes. This means: If you are the attacking team, you cannot try to take the A spot in the same way every time. The gameplay conditions are always different.
This sets FragPunk apart from tactical shooters like Valorant and CS2. There, especially at the highest levels, teams have rehearsed tactics and procedures that they can play in a fixed manner each round. There is no random factor like game cards that create special effects that teams must adapt to during the match.
2. Fun even if you’re not a hardcore player
FragPunk has the potential to be fun even if you are not extremely competitive and want to sweat through every match. The effects introduce a fun component to the otherwise competitive gameplay of tactical shooters – at least if you are still new to the game.
The game cards encourage you to play unconventional “tactics”. For example, you can attach a turtle to your back that protects you from shots from behind. And yes, I’ve seen players run backwards onto a spot because of this.
The speed of the game, especially during gunfights, also adds to the entertainment of FragPunk.
3. FragPunk is competitive but faster than the competition
Games like Valorant and CS2 play fundamentally differently than shooters like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or The Finals. The gameplay is much more thoughtful. You can’t sprint properly, run back and forth a lot while shooting or even jump.
In FragPunk, you can do that. So if you find CS2 and Valorant too slow and miss bunny hopping, you might enjoy FragPunk more. There are also game cards and abilities that make you faster or allow you to jump higher.
4. The duel feature is an enrichment because it replaces the boring extension
In many competitive games, the same thing happens in the event of a draw: there is overtime. In overtime, a certain number of rounds are played again until a winner is determined. The teams switch roles between attacker and defender.
In FragPunk, teams face off in 1v1 duels in the event of a tie. First, like in a penalty shootout, you have to determine the order and choose your weapons and heroes. Then the duels start on small maps that are equally designed for both sides. The winner of a 1v1 duel plays another round but retains the damage taken.
Several aspects of the duel feature are really cool. On one hand, it’s just something new and not the boring overtime again. On the other hand, you can really root for your teammates because you can watch while they compete in their duel.
In addition, you have the opportunity in the duel to make something happen for your team, even if things hadn’t gone well for you before. For example, I played a bad match and took a lot of hits. In overtime, I then took the fifth spot. My teammates lost their duels, but I successfully won several duels in a row and decided the match for us. This way, you can still go into the next game with a good feeling.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, you need to catch Escunites or Wapponites for a quest, but they are very rare, especially the large, glowing specimens. We will show you an effective method to farm them.
Update, January 27, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.
Why do I need Wapponit? In the base camp of the Karmin Forest, you will find the NPC “Kanya”, who has a passion for fishing. She will familiarize you with the essential basics of fishing and will eventually send you on a side quest to catch a large Wapponit for her. This is easier said than done, as this aquatic creature is hard to find and, above all, very rare.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Listen to the Field Expert Alma
Finding and Farming Wapponit
Where do I find Wapponit? You can find Wapponit in stalactite caves in the Karmin Forest and in the surrounding lakes. These stalactite caves are hidden behind waterfalls that you can easily pass through. We recommend two locations if you want to find Wapponit:
North of Area 12 behind the waterfall at the marked spot
North of Area 8 behind the waterfall at two marked spots
Two locations that may have Wapponit
How do I farm Wapponit? If you want to get Wapponit quickly, you should choose the farm spot in Area 8. Go to the stalactite cave and discover the location of the field camp “Underground Lake”. Here you should set up a field camp.
Now you can travel there quickly to fish for Wapponit. However, since this sea creature is rare, you probably won’t encounter it on your first visit. Feel free to check both locations in Area 8. If no Wapponit is available, you can use fast travel to another location to reset the area.
You can recognize Wapponit by its resemblance to an ammonite, a prehistoric snail with tentacles. There are two types: the normal ones, which do not glow, and the large ones, which glow bluish.
You are looking for the glowing Wapponit, which is a large specimen
For the quest, it is best to catch the Escunites with a fishing rod, but once you have completed the quest, you can also use your net and shoot at the respective Wapponit from a distance. This allows you to catch the sea creatures and fish much faster. The bait is irrelevant for fishing the Wapponit, you just need to be able to play with it.
To do this, pull the bait back and forth to imitate wave-like movement patterns. Do this slowly and episodically, not quickly in succession. Wapponites like to take their time, so you will likely have to cast the bait several times and play with it until one bites.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, your Palico will send you on a quest to find and catch a giant vitality wasp. We will show you the location.
What kind of quest is this? Your Palico will familiarize you with a side quest after Chapter 5, Mission 3, in which you need to catch a giant vitality wasp.
Don’t confuse this with the “Healing Support” quest, as that requires you to catch a normal vitality wasp. Many are now wondering where to find such a special wasp and, more importantly, how to catch it? We will show you.

How to Catch the Giant Vitality Wasp
Where can I find the wasps? There are various places where you might randomly encounter these wasps. These include the following areas:
Windy Plain – Area 10 or 13
Carmine Forest – Area 8
Ruins of Wyveria – Area 2, 5, and 13
We would recommend the Windy Plain in area 13. It is quick to reach, you are undisturbed, and there are no powerful monsters around that could interfere with your catch. You can then simply mark the giant vitality wasp on your map and ride your Saikrii.
The wasps will also be markedEquip the catching net
How do I catch the wasp? To catch the wasp, you cannot hit it with your giant weapon; you need to equip the “Catching Net” from your item menu. Activate it with your slingshot and then aim at the wasp. Now fire at it, and you’ve caught the wasp.
Now you can go back to your Palico and deliver the wasp. Once you have completed the quest, you will receive some potions and the possibility that your furry friend can revive you with one of these wasps.
