*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two primary seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by intense weather, scarce resources, and highly aggressive monsters frequently engaging in territorial battles. This creates a challenging and unpredictable hunting experience. In contrast, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more bountiful environment. Flora thrives, monsters are less hostile, and resources are plentiful, making for a more relaxed, though still exciting, hunt.

Adding another layer of dynamism are brief, but intense, Inclemency events. These periods of extreme weather often coincide with battles against Apex Predators, creating truly climactic encounters. For example, the Pinnacle of the Pack assignment pits hunters against the Alpha Doshaguma during a dramatic Sandtide sandstorm. These unique weather events elevate the challenge and thrill of hunting Apex Predators throughout the game.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds

Given the significant impact of seasons on the environment and monster behavior, you might prefer hunting during Fallow or Plenty depending on your strategy. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to manipulate these conditions. To change the season and weather, simply pitch your tent and select the "Rest" option from the BBQ Menu. Here, you can adjust the environment and time for your next hunt.

However, this convenience comes at a cost. Resting requires 300 Guild Points and is only available to High-Rank Hunters. Additionally, you cannot rest during an active quest.

That covers the seasons and weather mechanics in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Enjoy adapting your hunting strategies to the ever-changing environment!
