The Version 11 update for Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak launches today, bringing with it the new Qurious Crafting mechanic for augmenting your gear with extra skills.
In yesterday’s livestream, Capcom confirmed that while weapons would draw from a fixed pool of skills per weapon, armor sets would instead feature randomized skills.
However, users have reported that it’s not just about gaining new skills- enhancing your gear with Qurious Crafting in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak also has a chance of removing levels from your previously-attained armor skills.
Of course, you’re not shoehorned into accepting these upgrades, since you can always cancel the augment or reroll with new materials.
Still, while you’re augmenting your gear it’s important to pay attention- you never know when your next skill might happen to take a point off of something important, too.
That being said, you can also remove all the augments, resetting your armor set to its pre-Qurious state.
Qurious Crafting is tied to the game’s Anomaly Quests, more specifically the new Anomaly Investigations which level up in difficulty as you complete them.
You can access the feature by talking to Bahari, who will also handle trading of materials from the Anomaly Investigations for Qurious Crafting.
