Seliana & Gathering Hub
As we covered beforeSelianafeatures all of the same facilities that are essential to your investigations, such as theEcological Research Center, theSmithy, theResource Center, and the rest. Additionally, Seliana’s layout was designed to ensure even easier accessibility to each of the facilities.
This time we see theGathering Hubthat is centered around the Hot Springs. Players can soak in the Hot Springs in both armor, or without armor to help immerse the player with their environment.New Gestureswere created to accent the springs like splashing water to other players, or laying on their backs in peace.
In addition to the springs there are saunas and foot baths which you can play withPalicos. Prepare for the ultimate cuteness spa experience!
Iceborneallows players to customize their room in Seliana even further than was available before. Change the following to suit your aesthetic:
Unfortunately, the placement of the items cannot be moved but new items can be added. Hunters can obtain new items by completing quests and deliveries so make sure you leave no quest unfinished to not miss out any rewards. More items will be added in future updates. Remember the Deluxe Kit Furniture Set that is included in IceborneDigital Deluxe pre-orders? Well, you can change your normal wooden room into a stone like building, adding an old medieval charm.
Want to invite your friends over to your room? It’s possible, but won’t be available until post launch. The developers are working on having others visit your room.
View Mode aka Picture Mode
As reported before a Picture Mode has been added allowing Hunters to zoom, pose, and snap pictures either solo, with your Palico and even other players!
Layered Armor
Several Layered Armor was apparent in the diary video as well as Pendants, which looks like to be the new name for Charms.
Thermae Set
Dragonking Eyepatch
Strategist Spectacles
Pulverizing Feather
Crystal Earring
Botanical Research Center’s Harvest Box will now have 50 slots compared to 30 before. (Not confirmed if it will start at 50 or players need to complete quests/delivery quests to expand.)
Squads Improvements & Additions
Players can now create and send out squad cards which can be sent out to others without having to be in the same squad session when they have a moment. This allows more people to test out various squad to find their best fit so be sure to send out your squad card like you do with your guild card! Squads now can now have sub leader; they can send out and accept squad cards.
Multiplayer Scaling
As stated before, Hunters can now hunt in a party of 2 and have quest difficulty scale to them; party size of 3 to 4 remains unchanged. Difficulty now re-adjusts to lower levels if player leaves or disconnects but Palicos can’t rejoin if they leave. Go out and have a partner you love to dance with and never let them go.
Multiplayer Compatibility
Can Player A who owns Iceborne play with Player B who only has the Monster Hunter World base game? Yes. Low and High Rank quests will be able to be played with both versions. However, players need to have Iceborne in order to tackle Iceborne content. Remember players must have the base game ofMonster Hunter World, have completed the story, be at least Hunter Rank 16, and have purchased theIceborneexpansion in order to access the new Iceborne story and quests.
