MHNow: Driftsmelt
From MHWiki
Driftsmelt is a mechanic introduced on May 22, 2024, it allows for Driftstones to be slotted into armor pieces, which enable additional skills by walking a certain distance, up to 10 skills can be added via Driftsmelting, and you may choose to overwrite a skill if you try to add an 11th.
The skill is chosen at random from a pool for each Driftstone type, there is also a general pool of skills that can be obtained from any Driftstone.
Upon completing a Driftsmelt process, hunters are awarded with Driftstone Shards, which can be exchanged for Driftgems that have the same use as Driftstones but with a smaller pool of skills, Driftgems also don't pull from the general skill list either.
