Capcom has introduced the first wave of event quests for Monster Hunter Wilds, offering players special limited-time rewards that include unique armor pieces and rare cooking ingredients. These timed events represent the beginning of Capcom's post-launch content strategy for the popular action RPG, with more quests scheduled throughout March ahead of the first major title update in April.
First Event Quests Now Available
The inaugural Monster Hunter Wilds event quests have officially launched, giving hunters additional content to tackle beyond the main campaign. Currently, two event quests are available: Kut-Ku Gone Cuckoo and Stalking Supper. Both quests are time-limited, with Stalking Supper ending on March 11 and Kut-Ku Gone Cuckoo available until March 18. These events require players to have reached specific hunter ranks to participate, ensuring they're prepared for the challenges ahead.
Adorable Mimiphyta Headgear
The Kut-Ku Gone Cuckoo quest has quickly become a fan favorite due to its unique reward - materials to craft the Mimiphyta α headgear. This charming helmet features one of the game's endemic life creatures perched atop the hunter's head. Mimiphyta are small woodland creatures found in the Scarlet Forest that mimic fungi or flowers depending on the season. Players who have reached Hunter Rank 9 or higher (meaning they've completed the main story and entered High Rank content) can accept this quest from Alma. While the quest objective sounds straightforward - hunt a Yian Kut-Ku - it's complicated by the presence of five additional Yian Kut-Ku on the map simultaneously, making for a potentially chaotic encounter.

Valuable Cooking Ingredient Up for Grabs
The second available event quest, Stalking Supper, tasks hunters with taking down a Quematrice. Completing this quest rewards players with Sharp Kunafa Cheese, a valuable cooking ingredient that's typically only obtainable by trading with the NPC Kilama. This special ingredient provides significant benefits, extending meal effects by 20 minutes and adding a bonus that often decreases damage taken. For hunters looking to optimize their builds through the game's cooking system, this quest offers an excellent opportunity to stock up on this rare ingredient.
More Event Quests Coming Soon
Capcom has already revealed plans for additional event quests throughout March. Starting March 11, a new quest will become available that allows players to hunt Chatacabra for Hard and Advanced Armor Spheres, which are essential upgrade materials. Following that, on March 18, players can look forward to farmable event quests focused on weapon and armor decorations, as well as another hunt featuring a new piece of headwear. This steady stream of content demonstrates Capcom's commitment to keeping Monster Hunter Wilds fresh with regular updates.
High Rank Layered Armor Benefit
One particularly appealing aspect of the Mimiphyta helmet reward is that, as High Rank armor, it automatically unlocks as a Layered Armor piece once crafted. This means players can use its distinctive appearance without compromising their build's performance stats. This feature allows hunters to prioritize both function and fashion, maintaining optimal gameplay while sporting the unique endemic life headpiece.

Building Toward First Title Update
These event quests are laying the groundwork for Monster Hunter Wilds' first major title update, scheduled for April. By providing regular content drops through March, Capcom is ensuring players have plenty of reasons to continue hunting while waiting for more substantial additions to the game. The combination of unique cosmetic rewards, valuable materials, and challenging hunts creates a compelling post-game experience that extends the longevity of Monster Hunter Wilds beyond its main campaign.
