Mistfall Hunter New Season: Day One Checklist
Quick answer: a new Mistfall Hunter season resets your season level and Season Tasks, plus season-scoped currencies such as Gyldenblod and Contract Sigils. Your Soul Coins, character level, gear and camp survive. On day one, do not re-farm what persists — claim season rewards, check the patch notes for changed maps, and rebuild your loadout around the one weapon the season added.
Last updated: November 15, 2026 — Season 2: Fires of the Past is live, and no Season 3 date has been announced.
What actually resetsPermalink to this section
Season 2 began after maintenance on November 11, 2026, with matchmaking off from 02:30 UTC and the season starting at 03:00 UTC. The reset model is the one Bellring described in Developer Note #8: a competitive seasonal layer on top of a permanent investment layer.
| Track | Resets | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Season level and Tasks progress | Yes | Developer Note #8 |
| Season reward claim state | Yes | Season Tasks design |
| Gyldenblod | Yes | Community database |
| Contract Sigils | Yes | Community database |
| Soul Cocoons | Yes | Community database |
| Soul Coins | No | Community database |
| Camp construction and upgrades | No | Camp is account-level |
| Character level and gear | No | Permanent progression |
The permanent column is where your first hour should go. If you have a leveled character and a built camp, you are already past the part of the game that most new players spend a weekend on.
[!note] The seasonal currency split is documented by community tracking rather than a published table. Treat Gyldenblod, Sigils and Soul Cocoons as well-supported, not publisher-confirmed.
Day one, in orderPermalink to this section
1. Read the patch notes before you queue. A new season ships with balance changes, and Mistfall Hunter has changed weapon behaviour between seasons before. The patch notes page is the fastest source.
2. Check your camp first. Camp is permanent and account-wide. If a new season added a camp structure or a vendor line, that is the cheapest power you will gain all week. The camp construction guide covers the build order.
3. Claim the season track. Season Tasks are capped at 152 per season, with milestone rewards at 50 completed tasks (Pip’s Rare Pouch) and 93 (the Legendary Nether Ferry skin). Claiming early costs nothing and tells you which task types the season favours.
4. Rebuild one loadout, not five. Your gear survived, but the meta may not have. Pick the class you know, check whether its weapon got touched, and run one extraction before you spend anything.
5. Spend Soul Coins last. Soul Coins persist, which makes them the one currency you can safely hoard. Spending them on day one, before the season’s economy settles, is how players waste a month of savings on a weapon that gets adjusted in week two.
[!tip] The first 24 hours of a season are the best time to learn a new map layer. Everyone is under-geared, so a PvP death costs less than it will next week.
What is new in Season 2Permalink to this section
Fires of the Past is the current season. Officially announced content includes:
- The Ordeal of Flames, the season’s headline activity. The Ordeal of Flames page covers the loop.
- The Blackarrow Javelin, a new weapon for the Blackarrow class. See the Javelin page.
- The Soul Brand, a season progression element tied to the new track.
- A new season theme and a season-specific progression system, per the original teaser.
Anything beyond that list — new maps, new classes, a Season 3 window — has not been announced. Bellring has described seasons as arriving roughly every three months, which is a design cadence, not a calendar.
The mistake that costs the mostPermalink to this section
The classic new-season error is treating the reset as a full wipe and deleting your habits along with your season level. Three specific versions:
- Re-rolling a class “because everything reset”. It did not. Character progression is permanent, and a free class switch at camp is a one-time courtesy, not a seasonal perk.
- Ignoring the camp because it is “old content”. Camp upgrades compound across every future season. They are the highest-value investment in the game.
- Grinding Season Tasks in the wrong mode. Task requirements are specific. Read the board before you load into a match, or you will complete a task you already finished.
How to plan the first weekPermalink to this section
A practical split for a player with limited hours:
Day one: patch notes, camp check, one extraction to feel the changes. Days two to four: Season Tasks that overlap with normal play, plus the new activity once. Days five to seven: spend currency, commit to a build, and start the ranked or endgame push.
Players who try to do all of it on day one burn out before the season’s first balance patch. The season runs for months; the early advantage is knowledge, not gear.
Will there be a Season 3?Permalink to this section
No date has been announced. The only reliable signal is Bellring’s own communication: patch notes, the roadmap page, and the in-game season screen. Community estimates based on a three-month cadence are guesses.
If you want to track it, the roadmap page and the season reset page are updated when something official lands.
