HUNTER RANK NOTES --------------------------------------------------- * You can only raise your first "8" Hunter Rank through Port Tanzia. * Port Tanzai’s quest are more challenging than Moga Village. Monsters there are stronger, harder, and more difficult. * It is best to raise your Hunter Rank through multiplayer such as connecting with other local 3DS players or online through the Wii U. * Some "Key Quest" requires “Pre-Requisites” which you must complete before it shows up. * Completing all available “Key Quest” will unlock the “Urgent Quest”. * Upon completing the “Urgent Quest” your Hunter Rank will raise. * Once you get to Hunter Rank 8, talk to the the Guildmaster at Port Tanzia and your Hunter Rank might raise above HR 8 depending on the amount time you've been grinding for both Moga Village and Port Tanzai. --------------------------------------------------- 4. CHECKING YOUR HUNTER RANK --------------------------------------------------- 1) Press start. 2) Move to Info. 3) Click on Status. 4) You should see your HR highlighted in blue and Next [HR points] in green. You can only see "Next" after reaching Hunter Rank 8. 5) HR points can be gained from both Moga Village and Port Tanzai. The harder the quest, the more HR points you'll gained. --------------------------------------------------- 5.

This is due to all the grinding and HR points you've been accumulating before reaching Hunter Rank 8. The more quest you've have complete the more HR points you'll accumulate. You can check how much HR points you have received after completing a quest. --------------------------------------------------- 6. HR POINTS FARMING QUEST --------------------------------------------------- It is best to do "[Advanced] Pack Mentality" in G-Rank Quest LV ****** Quest until you reach HR 80. Then from there on farm "Four Point Formation" in G-Rank Quest LV ********. NOTES: * These two quest are the easiest/fastest way to farm HR points. * [Advanced] Pack Mentality" quest appears and disappears randomly. If farming solo and quest doesn't appear, go to Moga Wood and exit. Then check to see if it appears at Port Tanzia, if not repeat. * Food Skills "Felyne Exchanger" increases HR points you can earn. * Dying everytime would result in a -20 HR points. ====================================== [Advanced] Pack Mentality ====================================== Hunt 3 Barioth Without Felyne Exchange: 4410 HR Points With Felyne Exchange: 6615 HR Points ====================================== Four Point Formation ====================================== Hunt a Nargacuga, a Barioth, a Green Nargacuga, and a Sand Barioth Without Felyne Exchanger: 6180 HR Points With Felyne Exchanger: 9270 HR Points --------------------------------------------------- 7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --------------------------------------------------- Q: What is a Hunter Rank? A: Rank/Grade that display your current hunter status. The higher your HR, the more likely someone is going to think of you as an experience hunter. Q: How many Hunter Rank are there? A: There are a total of “8” Hunter Rank. After slaying Dire Miralis, you can raise your Hunter Rank BEYOND that to 125+ by completing more quest. Q: What’s the point of ranking up? A: To achieve higher rank, unlock new quest, meet new subspecies, create stronger armors, and showoff your HR ???. Q: What’s the difference between Moga Village and Port Tanzia guild quest? A: Village quest only goes up to “High Rank” while Tanzia goes all the way to “G Rank”. Monsters at Tanzia are stronger than the Village and only some subspecies can be found there. Moga Village is considered the main storyline for this game (solo) while Port Tanzia is for you to do afterwards and experience a more challenging game play (solo/multiplayer). Q: Can you solo Port Tanzia quest? A: It can be done, but very difficult. --------------------------------------------------- 8.
