Monster Hunter World: USJ Gold Star Treatment Event Guide
The Summer Twilight Event is here in Monster Hunter World, bringing new quests and exciting rewards. One of the highlights is the USJ Gold Star Treatment questline, which was previously exclusive to Japan but is now available for all hunters. This USJ Gold Star Treatment guide will walk you through how to complete the quest, what rewards you can earn, and how to craft the new Azure Star gear.
How to Access the USJ Gold Star Treatment Quest
You can find the USJ Gold Star Treatment quest at any Quest Board under the Events tab.
Quest Details:
- Objective: Slay 3 Great Jagras in the Arena
- Hunter Rank (HR) Requirement: 4 or higher
- Time Limit: 50 minutes
- Faints Allowed: 3
- Rewards: Azure Star Shard (used to craft special weapons and Palico gear)
The Great Jagras in this quest spawn in three different sizes (small, medium, and large). Completing the quest guarantees both a Smallest and Largest Crown for the monster.
Tips for Completing the USJ Gold Star Treatment Quest
This quest is fairly simple, but these strategies can help you complete it efficiently:
- Bring Fire Damage: Great Jagras is weak to fire, so equipping fire-element weapons will increase your damage output.
- Fight One at a Time: Avoid aggroing all three Great Jagras at once—focus on defeating them one by one.
- Use Traps and Consumables: Shock Traps, Pitfall Traps, and Flash Pods can help control the fight and make it easier.
- Hunt with a Team: If soloing proves difficult, teaming up with other hunters will speed up the quest.
Once you complete the quest, you will earn Azure Star Shards, which can be used to craft exclusive USJ gear.
USJ Gold Star Treatment Rewards and Crafting Guide
Completing this event unlocks two new equipment sets:
- Azure Star Palico Set
- Azure Star Blade (Longsword)
How to Craft the Azure Star Palico Set
The Azure Star Palico Set is a Low Rank armor set for your Palico. You can craft it at the Smithy using the following materials:
- Azure Star Baton:
- 1x Azure Star Shard
- 1x Great Jagras Mane
- Azure Star Crown:
- 1x Azure Star Shard
- 1x Great Jagras Scale
- Azure Star Armor:
- 1x Azure Star Shard
- 1x Great Jagras Hide
How to Craft the Azure Star Blade (Longsword)
The Azure Star Blade is a Low Rank Longsword that will be upgradable in future USJ quests. To craft it, you will need:
- 3x Azure Star Shards
- 4x Great Jagras Claws
- 4x Monster Bone M
- 1x Lightcrystal
- 4000 z
For now, it is best to hold onto the Azure Star Blade, as later USJ quests will allow you to upgrade it into a stronger version.
This is only the first part of the USJ questline. More USJ quests will be released in the future, allowing you to upgrade the Azure Star Blade and craft additional armor. Check out our guide for the second USJ quest for more details.
