---------------------------------------
*Monster Hunter Wilds* features two primary seasons: Fallow and Plenty. The game begins in the harsh Fallow season, characterized by challenging weather, scarce resources, and aggressive monsters frequently engaging in territorial battles. Conversely, the Plenty season offers a warmer, more abundant environment with friendlier wildlife and easier access to resources, creating a more welcoming atmosphere for both hunters and the villagers.
Between these seasons, brief but intense Inclemency periods dramatically alter the weather, setting the stage for epic confrontations with Apex Predators. The Pinnacle of the Pack assignment, for example, pits hunters against the Alpha Doshaguma amidst the ferocious Sandtide sandstorm. These unique weather events add thrilling unpredictability to your hunts.

How To Change the Season and Weather in Monster Hunter Wilds
Given the significant impact of seasons on the environment and creature behavior, you might prefer hunting during Fallow or Plenty depending on your strategy. Fortunately, *Monster Hunter Wilds* allows you to manipulate the seasons and weather.
To change the season and time, simply pitch your tent and select the "Rest" option from the BBQ menu. This allows you to adjust the environment and time before resuming your hunt. However, this convenience comes at a cost of 300 Guild Points and is only available to High-Rank Hunters. Note that resting is unavailable during active quests.
