@DarrkDucky it does appear the Guardian Armor and Item Pack are only available until October 3rd. This would warrant a limited release and a DLC tag. I'll be making an official post shortly on the topic.
The sets distributed are, for the most part, considered DLC as well, though we do not have an official ruling on it yet. As for the Guardian Armor, if it is limited release, then it will be considered DLC like the Origin Armor and Fairwind Charm. There's also an open discussion in the MHW Speedrun Discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/z8suWUX) if you would like to share your thoughts there as well.
Realized that I copied the wrong links for my request above.

Hello. I am requesting moderation for the Monster Hunter series http://imgur.com/a/yqkCgEB and Monster Hunter Iceborne Console game leaderboards https://www.speedrun.com/mhwib.
This post is to provide additional clarification on the Any% Multiplayer (2 through 4 player) categories.
The following change will appear on the Any% rules: "Any% Multiplayer (2 - 4 players): Complete all Assigned Quests up to [Goal] with all participating players/hunters. All hunters must be present in the Assigned Quest when it is completed to be a valid mission."
This means all participating players must all be present in the assigned quest when completed. There is only one assigned quest this is not possible in: "Jagras of the Ancient Forest." Every quest following, including "Bird-brained Bandit," can be done multiplayer.
Note: This does not mean all member must be present when the assigned quest starts, only when it is finished. If a member is not present when the assigned quest is completed, then all members must re-attempt the assigned quest via the member who did not complete it or run is no longer valid.
Feel free to discuss these changes in the thread, including any new routing changes for Multiplayer.
Recently, the use of Overlays in IL runs was questioned in the MH Speedrun Discord community. This discussion lead to a community opinion vote on the inclusion of Overlays as "permitted mods." The outcome of that poll can be seen here: http://imgur.com/gallery/90E5pL5
The results showed a nearly 2:1 vote against the use of Overlay mods in IL runs. Between the poll results and feedback from community members in the community discord server, the use of Overlays is NOT PERMITTED. The Permitted Mods document has been updated to reflect this change, and can be viewed here: http://bit.ly/mhwpcmods
If you have further questions regarding the changes to IL runs, please reach out to a Mod or ask on the Discord (link in sidebar).
