How to Unlock & What to Do if it Won't Appear

How to Start Field Survey Quest in the Field

There are two ways to unlock Field Survey Quests in Monster Hunter Wilds: deal a certain amount of damage to large monsters in the field or select 'Start Field Survey Quest' from the monster icon on the map.

Deal Enough Damage by Attacking

If you deal a certain amount of damage to a large monster encountered in the field, the Field Survey Quest will start automatically.

Leader Approval is Required During Environment Link.

If a Link Member attacks while in an Environment Link, a confirmation dialog will appear on the leader's screen. Once the leader approves, the Field Survey Quest will begin.

How to Create a Link Party

Start the Quest from the Map Icon

Select the large monster icon on the map and press 'Start Field Survey Quest' to begin the quest.

Tempered Monsters Appear in the Field at High Rank

Tempered Monsters only appear in High Rank fields, so Field Survey Quests for Tempered Monsters can only be triggered in High Rank environments. To unlock Tempered Monsters' Field Survey Quests, progress through the story until High Rank becomes available.

Why Field Survey Quests Won't Appear

You cannot start a Field Survey Quest if any of the four conditions apply.

Field Survey Quest - How to Save

How to Save a Field Survey Quest

In Monster Hunter Wilds, there are two ways to save Field Survey Quests: 'Save from the monster icon on the map' or 'Save from history after completing it.' There is a limit to the number of quests you can save, so make sure to complete them regularly.

Save from the Monster Icon on the Map

Select the monster icon on the map and press 'Save as Field Survey Quest' to save it using Guild Points. The environment at the time, including the spawning of falling boulders, will also be saved. This is useful when you're short on time or in a favorable environment for a different quest.

Save from History After Completing It

Once completed, the Field Survey Quest will be saved in the history and can be checked at the Quest Counter. From that history, you can also use Guild Points to save it as a Survey Quest.

After Saving, the Quest Can Be Accepted at the Quest Counter

Saved Survey Quests can be accepted from the Quest Counter. While there is a limit, you can accept the quest multiple times, so challenge it as many times as the limit allows.

Field Survey Quest - Rewards & Benefits

Bonus Rewards for High Rank Quests

In High Rank, you will receive Bonus Rewards upon completing the Field Survey Quest. The rewards are typically monster materials, but for Tempered Monsters, you can obtain materials for Artia Weapons and Decorations.

Save and Start Whenever You Have Time

Survey Quests can be saved along with the environment at the time, allowing you to play at your preferred time later. Guild Points are consumed when saving, making it convenient for when you’re short on time.

What is a Field Survey Quest?

Make Field Monsters Eligible for Hunting

The Field Survey Quest in Monster Hunter Wilds allows you to make any monster you encounter during exploration or found on the map eligible for hunting. Unlike other quests, the hunt begins seamlessly in the current environment without returning to the Base Camp.
