How to Raise Hunter Rank (HR Level)

Hunter Rank Leveling in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). This guide provides information on how to raise HR, check HR, add elements, and unlock conditions.

How to Raise HR and Unlock Conditions

Raise it by Clearing the Story

Monster Hunter Wilds' Hunter rank increases as you progress through mission quests. Therefore, it is important to progress through the story first.

After HR8, Raise it to the Upper Limit and Clear the Quest

There is an upper limit for Hunter Rank 9 and above. Earn points by hunting monsters many times, raise the Hunter Rank to the maximum, and clear the story that will be added to unlock it.

Points will be Accumulated even if the Upper Limit is Reached

Even when your Hunter Rank reaches the upper limit, points are still accumulated internally. The accumulated points will increase at the same time as the HR limit is released.

You can also get Points from Side Missions

HR also earns points from side missions. There are many side missions that can only be done once and take a long time, but we recommend clearing them as there are limited rewards as well.

How to Raise HR Efficiently

The efficient way to raise Hunter rank in Monster Hunter Wilds is to "Speedrun Gravios", "Hunt 2 Hirabami", and "Parallel with creating High Rank Equipment". As your Hunter rank increases, choose more difficult quests and go around.

[HR41〜] Gravios Speedrun are Recommended

Once you reach Hunter Rank 41 or above, we recommend Speedrunning Gravios in Optional Quest with Artian Water Heavy Bowgun. Although it requires a little preparation in advance, you can defeat it in about 1 to 2 minutes, and since it is an Optional Quest. you can do it as many times as you like.

Gravios Speedrun Procedure

Create a Water Element Heavy Bowgun with Rare 8 Artian Parts

First, let's make a Water Element Heavy Bowgun using Rare 8 Artian Parts. Production/restoration bonuses is not a problem even if there is nothing related to Affinity or Capacity.

Parts can be Collected through Battles or Melding

If you don't have enough Rare 8 Artian parts, clear the Field Survey of Tempered Monsters such as Apex Monsters and Arkveld, or collect parts with Melding. Melding is efficient because you can get 15 without fighting monsters by using the Gold Relic Ticket .

If you can make Artian Water Heavy Bowgun, let's make armo. Please refer to the above Equipment as it is an example using the armor and decoration that can be guaranteed.

Add Skills with Decoration

* Decoration of a single skill is posted. If it can be activated in combination, it can be substituted.

Weapon Decoration	Reason
Stream Jewel [3]	Can be activated up to Lv3 with one 3 Slot Weapon slot becomes vacant so you can attack other skills
Crit Elem-Stream Jewel [3]	Strengthen the fire power when a critical hit occurs
Bandolier-Stream Jewel [3]	Affinity increases after the 4th shot
Opener-Stream Jewel [3]	The power of the 1st shot increases and the reload speed becomes faster
Armor Decoration	Reason
Mighty Jewel [2]	Affinity increases when Stamina is full
Earplugs Jewel [2]	Disable Gravios' Roar by activating Lv3
Tenderizer Jewel [3]	Affinity to Wounds greatly increase
Challenger Jewel [3]	Attack and Critical hit increase when Gravios is angry

If you add Earplugs or skills that increase fire power using Decoration to the empty slots of armor, the time will be further shortened. You don't have to go out of your way to get one, but if you have one, it's a good idea to keep it on.

Start "Deceitful Mountain High Armored" in Area 14

Accept the Optional Quest "Deceitful Mountain High Armorer" and start at Pop-Up Camp in Area 14. If you haven't placed the Pop-Up Camp yet, place it first and then start the quest.

Shoot Water Ammo at Gravios until it dies

Gravios is right outside the camp, so shoot him with Water Ammo. The stomach is the weak point, so it's easier to get more damage if you shoot at the center of the body. If you can do a stagger loop, you can defeat if without receiving an attack.

Repeat until you reach your Rank goal

After defeating Gravios, you can continue accepting quests and defeating him until you're satisfied to increase your Hunter Rank.

[HR16〜] 2 Hirabami Quest

When you are only thinking about increasing your Hunter Rank efficiently at early part of the game, we recommend ★4 Optional Quest "Securing Wounded Hollow". In the quest, you will need to hunt 2 Hirabami. No extra travel is needed and even if you are solo or with Support Hunters, it is one of the easier battles to farm..

Hunting Frenzy Monster that appear on Map is also Recommended

After HR16, Frenzy Monsters will appear in various places. Frenzy Monsters are aggressive but have low stamina, so you can hunt them down quickly. Unless it's a monster you're not good at, we recommend defeating it when you find it.

[〜HR15] Can be done while Creating High Rank Equipments

When HR reaches 9, High Rank monster will be released, allowing you to create powerful weapons and armor. As long as you collect materials for creating equipment, you will naturally rise up to HR15, so it is recommended to farm for High Rank Equipment while farming for Hunter Rank.
