Does Mistfall Hunter Wipe? Seasonal Resets

The answer, and the sources it rests on

Mistfall Hunter resets at the start of a new season. DevNote #8 names the first concrete buckets: character levels, warehouse supplies and select camp buildings reset; the Collection Pedestal does not; part of your seasonal assets returns as compensation that can be exchanged for resources and cosmetics. The two forum replies below are still quoted because they are the launch-window record, but the DevNote is now the controlling source. Dates below are UTC; Steam shows discussion timestamps in your own timezone, so the crops will not always agree with them.

• The DevNote changes the confidence class: this is no longer just two forum replies, and the named buckets are no longer guesses.
• The second reply answers a player asking specifically whether resets would be optional, as they are in Arc Raiders. DevNote #8 does not offer an opt-out either.
• The DevNote also names a fourth bucket nobody was asking about: exclusive honorary rewards distributed at the start of the new season, sized by your net asset worth in the previous one. It is the only line that makes what you are holding at the boundary count for anything after it.
• What is still missing: the trade-in ratios, the full list of “select” camp buildings, and how net asset worth is measured. The compensation *categories* are named — Pip’s Rare Pouch, Unbound Holy Collectibles, Holy Soulcatch Nets, exclusive cosmetics and Combat Bags of various tiers — but no quantity attaches to any of them. Bellring says the rest comes near the tail end of Season 1.

The game has wiped twice, and neither one was a season

A lot of the "this game wipes" folklore predates launch, and it is not wrong so much as it is about a different thing. Both wipes on record are test teardowns: the servers were switched off and the test data went with them, which is what happens at the end of every closed test in this genre. Neither was a live seasonal reset, because there has not been one yet.

What "long-term progression" might cover — an honest ledger

DevNote #8 finally fills in part of the ledger. The official list is still not complete — “select camp buildings” is not a list, and compensation ratios are explicitly deferred — but the page no longer has to infer the big split from genre logic. Four buckets are now stated rather than argued: what resets, what carries over, what comes back as exchangeable compensation, and a payout sized by your net asset worth at the boundary. What follows separates what Bellring named from what remains unknown.

What to actually do between now and then

The useful posture is not to hoard and not to panic. Your warehouse and character levels are now confirmed seasonal, so playing as though a stocked stash is a retirement fund is wrong; the Collection Pedestal, the compensation framework and the net-worth honorary rewards also mean the account does not simply evaporate. Spend on the things that pay you back inside this season — with one caveat named below, because DevNote #8 does put a price on what you are still holding when the season ends.

• Use warehouse supplies and gear you actually run. An item used for the rest of Season 1 has paid you back; an item preserved for a season boundary DevNote #8 says will reset the warehouse has not.
• The one thing that argues the other way, and it is not yet enough to change the advice: seasonal compensation returns “a portion” of your assets, and honorary rewards are sized by your net asset worth at the boundary. So the stash is not worth literally nothing at the reset. Neither the portion nor the reward has been quantified, which means nobody can tell you the exchange rate between an item used now and the same item counted then — and an unquantified return is a poor reason to stop playing with your own gear.
• Claim time-limited mail before it expires — those deadlines are real and dated, unlike the reset.
• If you are chasing long-term display or cosmetic value, the Collection Pedestal is the named safe bucket; other currencies and exchange rates still need the promised end-of-season breakdown.
• Watch for a Season 1 end date in the official feed rather than for a reset announcement; the date is what turns all of the above from arithmetic into a plan.
