Preparing for the Sunbreak Expansion (Monster Hunter Rise)
Calendar, Nintendo Switch and checklist with pencil on a table. Made by me in Paint
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak comes out on June 30th, it is an expansion pack for Monster Hunter Rise with a new story to embark on, new skills to add to the combat rotation, and more monsters to hunt!
I've been playing Monster Hunter Rise recently as a refresher to prepare myself for Sunbreak and when I saw my character screen I was shocked at the amount of Zeni I had...
Veteran Hunters, feel free to scoff at my low playtime
Eighty four thousand Zenny is not a lot in Monster Hunter, its chump change! I don't remember what I was doing before I took a break but I left myself a pauper! I would have to find some easy hunts that paid out a decent amount of cash.
After trying out a few quests to see how long it would take and if my rusty skills would allow me to actually complete the quest, I settled on hunting Tobi-Kadachis. The map setting provided lots of opportunities to utilize 'Wyvern Riding', the ability to briefly take control of another monster and fight the quest target, the Tobi-Kadachi had a move set that was easy to memorize, and the hit points of the Tobi-Kadachi weren't massive so they would fall fairly easily.

Pukei-Pukei showed up shortly after. Not a happy time for Tobi-Kadachi
After a few hunts I remembered I could sell Monster Parts! And hunting two of the same monster just added to the pile of monster parts. After finishing my hunt I went to the shop keep and scrolled through the monster parts sell list looking at prices when I got to the last page...
I had a stockpile of valuable metal eggs. Their only purpose in the game was to be sold for Zenny. I had been wasting my time hunting those Tobi-Kadachis. I felt like such a fool!
But now I had a chest load of Zenny, nothing could stop me now! Now to equip some Decoration skill gems and...
The only chest that is practically empty
Where are all my decorations!? Did I even make any before I took a break? I guess now I am off to go find the monster pieces and craft some decoration skills for my Gunlance. Wish me luck!
Some-Back-Story-:
When the base game was announced I was going to pass on Monster Hunter Rise but I joined the Hive Blockchain community in early March 2021 and I felt like I needed something new to post about and since Rise was launching in late March I figured it would be a perfect game to begin my content creation journey.
I am excited for the Sunbreak expansion pack and my goal to acquire it is to use Hive to buy Sunbreak, to show how Hive can be used to purchase other items, physical or digital, and have that experience under my belt to share with others.
Even in the current down market, I am optimistic about my chances of accomplishing my goal.
If you're curious about the Monster Hunter Series or have a question about my current goal for Hive, please leave a comment!
Thank you for reading my post/story. I hope you found my Hunter's situation slightly entertaining, I sure did!
Happy Gaming!
