New beatmap packs! New medals! And new quests! Learn how mapping and Featured Artists collide through the Mappers' Guild.
What is this Mappers' Guild thing? In short, it's a way for mappers to earn rewards for mapping songs from osu!'s Featured Artists. If you're out of the loop, check out the Mappers' Guild wiki page and its website!
A lot has changed since our last update and now! Two artists are being announced per week and mappers have been grinding out maps like their lives depend on it.
In the last 8 months 85 quests have been completed, nearly 400 (yes, 400!) Featured Artist beatmaps have been ranked, and 22 new medals are now available to earn!
We've got a lot to cover so click on any link below to skip to a different section of this post!
Medal hunters rejoice! We've set up a bunch of new Featured Artist beatmap packs and medals for you to unlock!
Just look at how much pink you could have on your profile:
Classic and modern beatmaps for each listed Featured Artist. Pass one difficulty of each set to unlock its medal!
A crossover of Featured Artist songs in convenient categories. Like the Artist packs, pass one difficulty of each set to unlock its medal!
Collections of beatmaps designed to test your skill. Pass the top difficulty of each beatmap without difficulty reduction mods to unlock its medal.

It's no surprise that of the 85 quests completed since our last update, the majority of them have been the newly implemented solo/single-mapset quests!
The requirements for each single-mapset quest is essentially the same: Create and rank 1 mapset of any song by a specified artist. Below is a list of all recently completed single-mapset quests!
While we would usually list each recently ranked Featured Artist song, a list of 400 beatmaps would be a bit insane.
Instead we'll be highlighting some of the big time contributors to the Mappers' Guild!
Each of these users have hosted 3+ ranked mapsets or created 10+ ranked difficulties since our previous update in March. Numbers below are for the period between our last update and today.
