In addition to influencing your stats, different armor in Monster Hunter Wilds can have additional buffs called “skills,” which activate under special circumstances. One of these skills is called Mushroomancer, which is especially strong since it allows your hunter to consume mushrooms.

Monster Hunter Wilds has been a smash hit since it launched last month, following the success of the series breakout hit Monster Hunter World in 2018. It's the best-selling game of 2025 so far, and sold 8 million copies during its first three days on the market, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date.

Even before Monster Hunter Wilds came out, Capcom had already been working on its first major post-launch update. We’ve known for a while that it would arrive in early April, and bring with it a new monster in the form of Mizutsune. Next week, we’ll learn everything else coming to the game with Title Update 1.
