The Nightflower Pollen farm was a lifeline forMonster Hunter Wilds‘ grueling endgame grind, giving players a better shot at Gold Relic Ticket trades for Decorations and Relics. It made the grind a little less tedious — until the latest patch wiped out this once-reliable exploit.
Ever since the Hotfix Patch Ver.1.000.05.00 went out, players have noticed that the Nightflower Pollens aren’t showing up as much despite using missions with the Full Moon requirement. I tried it out myself with quests like theBalahara‘s ‘A Leviathan’s Rage,’ and the Nightflower Pollen never showed up.
Although the new update’spatch notesdon’t explicitly indicate a pollen farm nerf, one fix may hint at its implementation. In the addressed issues section, you’ll see the statement: “Some items/rewards can be obtained repeatedly under certain conditions,” indicating that the team got rid of this exploit.
Gathering Nightflower Pollen during its elusive Full Moon phase just got a whole lot tougher. While some players mourn the farm’s loss onTwitter/X, others argue it’s a blessing in disguise. After all, it’ll restore the endgame to its true nature — a brutal, relentless grind. However, there may still be a way to access the Nightflower Pollen exploit, including with theSOS FlareQuest’s The Desert Knows Not the Sea. Things can be a bit finicky, though, so it still may not work for some.
Other than the pollen farm nerf,Monster Hunter Wilds’March 10th patch addresses different issues, from a Chapter 5-2 progression solution to an unlock for Azuz and Sild Meal Invitations. There are also a few more updates on the way for known problems with side missions,Palicos, and Hunter Profiles.
We still await the two primary fixes regarding the game’s performance and corrupted saves. Hopefully, it’ll come before Title Update 1, which is set for an early April release. Maybe by then, there will be another exploit for the Nightflower Pollen farming unless it, of course, gets patched again.
