‘Monster Hunter Now’ Major Version 76.2 Update Adds Driftsmelting for Random Armor Skills – TouchArcade

Niantic and Capcom have just pushed out a new major feature update for Monster Hunter Now (Free) with version 76.2. This update brings in the Driftsmelting feature. Driftsmelting lets you add skills at random to your armor, upgrading it more than before. A new Driftsmelting menu is now in-game. This feature also encourages walking as the process is only completed after walking for a bit. An Insta-Smelt option will also be available. Driftsmelting adds one skill at random with a total of 10 skills that can be added to a single piece of armor. To Driftsmelt, you need Driftstones which are drops from slaying large monsters after you’ve unlocked Driftsmelting in-game. Driftstones are eligible for double rewards via Special Carving Knives as well. The parameters you can add include Attack, Defense, and Affinity. Check out the image below for all the Monster Hunter Now Driftstone drops and monsters needed:
