Rathian was my last outstanding permanent arena quest I hadn't hit A rank on yet, this feels so good to finally achieve it 🎉
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. It's the results screen for the Arena: Rathian quest. To reach A rank one must clear it in under 5 minutes and 30 seconds; I cleared it in 5 minutes 17 seconds and 67 milliseconds. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. It's the Arena results page of my hunter profile; the left-hand box shows my fastest time for each the permanent arena quests, all of which are now A rank times.

I waited for Arch Tempered Nu Udra to come out just so I could see if the gamma armour would be an upgrade to the slick ballgown look I was going for. (Spoilers: it was 👍)
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is standing on steps leading up to the Diva's platform in the Grand Hub, currently carpeted in blue and gold and scattered with blue roses for the Dreamspell event. The background lighting is blue, but the foreground my hunter is standing in is lit with warm candlelight. She's wearing a long dark gown accented with bronze. The shoulders and side of the dress are open but held in place by multiple bronze threads. A belt made of spinal bones is sat at her waist, and the dress trails down to the floor, splitting into multiple curly bronze-tipped tentacles at the end. She's also wearing elbow-length dark blue gloves with bronze detailing at the top, and she's holding the True Omega Sword and Shield's sword low at the ready in her left hand with the shield displayed on her right arm. A tiny Omega with its legs tucked in floats over her left shoulder. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Comaqchi Accessory β (feminine, extremely dark violet/deep orange), Omega Suit α (feminine, extremely dark blue/bright orange), Omega Vambraces α (feminine, extremely dark blue/bright orange), Udra Mirecoil γ (feminine, dark orange/extremely dark blue), Udra Miregreaves γ (feminine, orange/extremely dark blue). Both undershirt and tights are toggled off, and the weapons are layered as True Omega's Sword (Omega Sword and Shield) and Abaddonian Pweza (Nu Udra Charge Blade) with the Floating OMG pendant equipped to both.

I fully expected to be at this for several days like Uth Duna, never in my wildest dreams did I think I was going to FIRST TRY THE ARCH TEMPERED NU UDRA CHALLENGE QUEST 🤯
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. It's the results screen for the quest Burn in Blackest Hell, or the time attack Arch Tempered Nu Udra free challenge quest. To reach A rank one must clear it in under 14 minutes; I cleared it in 13 minutes 51 seconds and 2 milliseconds.

Bonus, not a pendant challenge, but I never expected I'd get the A rank for the hard version of the Street Fighter quest 🎉 Now I'm all ready for free challenge AT Nu Udra to kick my ass next week 🙃
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. It's the results screen for the quest True Strength, or the Street Figher 6 crossover challenge quest. To reach A rank one must clear it in under 4 minutes; I cleared it in 3 minutes 54 seconds and 82 milliseconds. Admittedly this is a challenge I never thought I would reach A rank on, so I'm quite proud of this clear.

I've wanted to keep posting every time I acheive A rank on the pendant challenge quests, but so far as I can find I've only ever posted my AT Rey Dau time. None of these are speedrunner times, but as someone who doesn't like time attack I'm proud of myself for achieving all of them so far 🎉

Also forgot to mention it, but I saw the Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons concert last weekend! It was super fun to hear all these familiar songs played by orchestra (& some not so familiar ones, I haven't played through Ginger Isle before). Also got myself a blue chicken keychain as a souvenir 🐔
Photograph of my left hand holding a metal keychain of a pixellated blue chicken from Stardew Valley. In the slightly blurred background one can see a large screen projected with the Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons logo against the game's evening sky. Half the orchestra's chairs are visible beneath the screen, the other half disappear behind the screen. The angle of the photo suggests it was taken from the balcony seats.

Finally got my birthday cake today 🍰 It's not the prettiest looking cake, but this homemade banana cake with brown sugar icing has and will always be my number one favourite 😋
Photograph of a cake cut approximately in half sitting on a white plate atop a shiny black countertop. The cake itself is yellow brown like banana bread, two layered and covered with a chunky beige coloured icing. The icing is very crumbly, as indicated by plenty of crumbs left on the plate.

When I started learning Lance, I wanted to make a more armoured Paladin-like look. I'm not sure I succeeded in that initial vision, but I really like the end result regardless.
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is standing at the steps to the Grand Hub with the stairs rising behind her. She's wearing a metallic headpiece with silver wings on either side of a black and gold horn. Muscular-looking gray armour covers her entire torso, decorated with white flames tipped in gold on the chest that extend into a large decorative circle around the back of her neck. She's wearing gold metal gauntlets and a long white feathered skirt that parts at the front, revealing tall metal boots with lightning bolt patterns and winged heels. She's holding the Seregios lance casually in her left hand, with the shield strapped to her right arm. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Regios Helm α (feminine, brown/white), Ajarakan Mail α (feminine, dark gold/white), Ingot Vambraces α (feminine, dark gold/beige), Numinious Overlay α (masculine, beige/dark gold), Regios Greaves α (feminine, beige/white). Both undershirt (light beige) and tights (very dark gray) are toggled on, and the weapons are layered as Turbulent Lance (Seregios Lance) and Glass Royale (Vespoid Hunting Horn) with the Trot-along Crake pendant equipped to both (the pendant is toggled off for the first weapon in order to not block the armour preview).

Speaking of summer looks, TU2 and Flamefete brought so many great looking armour pieces with it I couldn't resist combining them into another summer outfit. While I'm not one for the "battle swimsuit" look, I can't help but admit this may be one of my absolute fave sets I've made so far 👌
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is standing atop one of the giant rib bones in the Grand Hub, with the camera angled downward so the Diva's Flamefete decked platform is visible in the blurred background. She's holding the Uth Duna Bow mostly parallel to the ground, an arrow nocked in position but not drawn. She's wearing a bright blue wide cloth headband that's decked out in feathers in several different shades of bright blue and teal, with a few orange feathers just visible among the bunch. Tassels hang from the headband on either side of her face, alternating between strips of blue and brown tied with orange knots to white rings. Shimmering blue green makeup is applied to her cheeks just below her eyes, in the shape of two triangles side by side pointing downwards with a teardrop extending from the bottom points. A wide band of white fabric is wrapped around her chest decorated with a vertical row of brown arrowhead stitching on either side, and around her neck hangs a red necklace adorned with a large blue feather and blue talons equally spaced along the necklace. On her left shoulder is a red tattoo of the Forbidden Lands Research Commission logo (an X with diamonds in the spaces between, surrounded by a stylized bird and feather), partially hidden by wide dark ambands decorated in white and red diamonds. She's wearing dark green gauntlets on her forearms patterned with stylized red fire and white stitching, and trimmed in bright blue fluff near the elbows. A bright blue flame burns on the left gauntlet. A bright red belt hangs at her hips with a golden dagger sheathed at her right hip. Deep teal cloth is wrapped around her waist; from beneath it hangs several thick white braids that gradiate into deep teal at the ends. She's wearing sandals, and her left leg is completely wrapped in dark green cloth with bright blue flame-shaped patterns on it. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Duna Wildhelm γ (feminine, bright blue/dark green), Pinion Necklace α (bright blue/dark red), Afi Armguards α (feminine, bright blue/very dark green), Xu Wu Coil β (feminine, deep red/white), Afi Sandals α (feminine, paler bright blue/very dark green). The undershirt and tights are both toggled off, and the weapons are layered as Khviluk-of-the-Waves (Uth Duna Bow) and Valeroje-of-the-Waves (Uth Duna Charge Blade) with the Flamefete Felyne Teddy pendant equipped to both.

I'd never be comfortable wearing something like this myself, but I've always liked the aesthetic of the white summer dress. With lots of yellow highlights to really complete that summertime look ☀️
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is standing among some greenery in Suja that's scattered with purple hyacinth-like flowers and yellow daffodil-like flowers. Her left hand is on her hip and her right is raised next to her head in a cute, somewhat sassy looking pose. She's wearing a strapless white dress with a dark gray metal plate and several long matching spikes hanging from just below her chest. Two lines of arrowhead stitching in brown thread run down either side of the chest. The white top layer of the dress fades away to show the bright yellow underlayers of the dress, accented with floral rose like designs. On her left shoulder is a pale yellow tattoo of the Forbidden Lands Research Commission logo (an X with diamonds in the spaces between, surrounded by a stylized bird and feather), with an intricate band tattoo encircling her arm just below it. She's wearing a number of pale yellow rings on both hands, with several yellow bangles on her left wrist that have yellow heart lights drifting off them. She's also wearing two cord necklaces, a shorter blue one and a longer red one; from the red necklace hangs a large yellow feather with long talons regularly spaced along the cord. She has a pair of matching yellow feather earrings, and on her back she's carrying the Uth Duna bow. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Gourmand's Earring α (feminine, golden yellow/dark maroon), Pinion Necklace α (golden yellow/paler golden yellow), Cypurrpunk Accessories (deeper golden yellow/pale yellow), Barina Coil α (feminine, deeper golden yellow/pale yellow), Diver's Boots α (feminine, paler golden yellow/golden yellow). The undershirt and tights are both toggled off, and the weapons are layered as Lagia Thunderpeal (Lagiacrus Hunting Horn) and Khviluk-of-the-Waves (Uth Duna Bow) with the White Fairy Light pendant equipped to both.

Even though it's just mixing the male and female pieces of the Sakuratide armour set, this look that I had during the spring festival is still one of my top faves. I wish I had a better pic though, I was just starting to learn how to use the in-game camera when I took this back during Blossomdance
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is standing on the edge of the dock of the small pond in the Gathering Hub, at night during the Blossomdance Festival. Her body is turned to the left of the camera while her head turned towards it, one heel raised and hands behind her back in an elegant pose. She's wearing a short silk pink kimono with black and gold brush stroke like designs on it, held in place by a sky blue obi. A light pink sash is tied over the obi, and tucked into it is a katana in a black sheathe wrapped in very light pink fabric and a gold hilt wrapped in dark pink fabric. A long haori jacket is slung over her shoulders, tied in place with red cords. The top half of the haori is sky blue; around the waist and the end of the sleeves it transitions into the same shade of pink as the kimono, broken up by swipes of gold swirling designs. Her left arm is completely wrapped in off-white bandages, with a dark pink shoulderplate tied on at the top trimmed in gold. She's wearing dark blue hakama pants that are also decorated with swirls of gold, and a few light pink accents around the ankles. A cluster of pink cherry blossoms is pinned in her hair, and she's carrying the Mizutsune hunting horn on her back. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Sakuratide Headgear α (feminine, default colour/dark maroon), Sakuratide Robe α (masculine, bright blue/deep pink), Sakuratide Bracers α (masculine, bright beige/dark maroon), Sakuratide Obi α (masculine, bright blue/deep pink), Sakuratide Hakama α (feminine, default colour/dark navy blue). The undershirt is toggled off while the tights (dark gray) are toggled on, and the weapons are layered as Summoning Bell (Mizutsune Hunting Horn) and Heaven's Manna (Mizutsune Bow) with the Sakura Felyne Teddy pendant equipped to both.

One of my early game "cosplays" that I'm most proud of. This mostly stemmed from me wanting to combine all the feathered pieces, but I ended up calling this my Seikret cosplay. I'm just super pleased with how well all the different pieces tie together tbh
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is petting her Seikret during the Plenty season in the Scarlet Forest. She's wearing an indigo headband, attached to which is a variety of long colourful feathers mainly in teal to pale yellow and reddish-orange to indigo colours. Over a black undershirt she's wearing a large teal poncho sewn with a gradient of blue into indigo feathers at the bottom edge of the poncho, with several large brown claws sewn around the neck at regular intervals. An off-white pendant with red and black rings in a pattern that ressembles an eye hangs on a red cord beneath the poncho and is adorned with orange beads and teal-blue-indigo gradiented feathers at the bottom. Her fingerless gloves are black covered by dark teal sleeves, with a large slinger strapped on top that's accented with red, white, and teal bands. Around her waist is a reddish-brown belt, attached to which is a long trail of deep blue-teal feathers so long it brushes the ground, with a bunch of short white feathers across the front. Her metal-toed boots are scaled indigo with red flame patterns, the tops of which are deep blue-teal and folded down to show metal kneeplates over black pants. The Seikret she's petting is a mixture of bright vibrant blues with off-white feathers covering its inner neck and chest. It's wearing the Kunafa gear; a red and beige saddle adorned with blue feathers, a red sling holding my hunter's secondary weapon, and a beige bone faceplate decorated with red ribbons and blue gemchimes. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Duna Wildhelm α (feminine, dark blue/bright blue), Kunafa Cloak α (muted deep teal/bright red), Dober Vambraces α (feminine, bright indigo/muted bright blue), Guardian Seikret Coil α (feminine, dark navy blue/deep orange), Quematrice Greaves α (masculine, dark navy blue-indigo/dark navy blue). The undershirt is toggled off while the tights (black) are toggled on, and the weapons are layered as Esperanza Strongarm (Starting Charge Blade) and Esperanza Bow (Starting Bow) with the Avian Wind Chime pendant equipped to both.

Here's one of my fave looks from early high rank. The Piragill legs are one of my fave pieces for how much they look like casual jeans, and the Chatacabra hoodie looks so comfy. I would wear this look irl
Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is standing on the small patch of dry ground in zone 17 of the Scarlet Forest during the Plenty season, with the lake stretching out behind her. She's in a battle-ready stance, Charge Blade shield on her right arm and sword held at the ready in her left. She's wearing a dull green vest with a large hood lined in puffy white over a dark brown long-sleeved undershirt. The sides of the vest are dark blue and crisscrossed with white laces holding the outfit in place. A necklace with five large white teeth hangs around her neck, the ends disappearing beneath the hood. On her forearms she's wearing ridged bronze bracers that are tinged slightly green at the edges. A thin warm brown belt hangs at her hips with a couple of large dark brown pouches dangling from it. She's also wearing dark blue pants with dark blue scaled coverings that cover the entirety of each leg. The scales are worn white around the thighs and are held in place by a pair of black belts on each leg. Small orange spikes run down the outer side of each shin, and dark brown shoes with spikes arcing over the toes completes the look. A bright blue metal wing piece adorns her hair on the left side of her head, and over her left shoulder hovers a pale blue fairy with four wings and wearing a long dress. Screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. My hunter is wearing the same outfit as previously described, but now in the tent with the layered menu showing the breakdown of the exact armour pieces she's wearing. They are: Noblesse Earcuff (bright blue/default colour), Chatacabra Mail α (masculine, dark navy blue/pale beige-yellow), Dahaad Shardbraces α (feminine, default colours), Chatacabra Coil α (masculine, medium brown/bright blue), Piragill Greaves α (masculine, dark navy blue/default colour). Both undershirt (dark brown) and tights (dark brown) are toggled on, and the weapons are layered as Esperanza Strongarm (Starting Charge Blade) and Esperanza Bow (Starting Bow) with the Blue Fairy Light pendant equipped to both.
