Ancient Hunts

Ancient Hunts are randomly generated quests that can provide the player with Gilded Gear. For a better chance to get this gear, players will have to sacrifice items and enchantment points.

Gilded Gear

Gilded gear is the best gear in all of Minecraft Dungeons! To get this gear, players will have to defeat Ancient mobs, which requires players to challenge the Nether.

New Currency and Merchants

Once the player acquires their first gold from Ancient Hunts, they will be able to access a Piglin Merchant, which will be located in the mysterious caves. This gold can be traded for items with a chance to get Gilded Gear!
