HR100 Benefits and How to Unlock
The benefits of reaching HR100 in Monster Hunter Wilds are the ability to create 2-slot Decorations through Melding and the ability to craft Rare 8 Artian parts for each body part from Ancient Weapon Fragments. Additionally, there are Awards and Trophies that can be earned at HR100.
Specify Rarity 8 Artian Parts to Meld

Farm 'The Struggle to Survive' Quest in Multiplayer

The most efficient way to level up your Hunter Rank (HR) is by farming the Quest 'The Struggle to Survive' in multiplayer. This quest involves hunting multiple targets, 'Tempered Xu Wu' and 'Tempered Guardian Ebony Odogaron,' and offers the highest points among the optional quests that can be repeatedly completed.
Equipment Needed for Farming
1-2 People | Main: Heavy Bowgun Specializing in Water Ammo Sub: Heavy Bowgun Capable of Firing Paralysis Ammo ▶Recommended Equipment for Water Ammo Specialization |
---|---|
1-2 People | Main: Heavy Bowgun Specializing in Freeze Ammo Sub: Heavy Bowgun Capable of Firing Paralysis Ammo ▶Recommended Equipment for Freeze Ammo Specialization |
When farming, you will need Elemental Ammo that can exploit the weaknesses of Tempered Xu Wu and Tempered Ebony Odogaron, as well as Paralysis Ammo for restraining them. Each player should prepare both a Primary and Secondary weapon to shorten farming time.
Farming Strategy
- Start 'Struggle to Survive' Optional Quest in Area 9
- Hunt the Guardian Ebony in Area 9
- Two players should use Water Ammo, while the other two restrain the target with Paralysis Ammo and Traps. (Attack with Wyvernheart Ignition when possible.)
- Capture the target and proceed to Area 7 - Hunt Xu Wu in Area 7
- Two players should use Freeze Ammo, while the other two restrain the target with Paralysis Ammo and Traps. (Attack with Wyvernheart Ignition when possible.)
- Capture the target to complete the hunt! - Repeat as Many Times As Needed
Farming Tempered Arkveld is also Recommended
If you want to farm high-rarity Artian parts and Decorations while increasing your Hunter Rank (HR), Tempered Arkveld runs are highly recommended. Additionally, Arkveld materials provide the highest refinement points among all monsters, making it the most efficient way to collect Oricalcite, which is essential for upgrading Artian weapons.
How to Spawn Tempered MonstersRecommended Equipment for Farming Runs
Weapons | Key Benefits |
---|---|
![]() | - Easy to forge, allowing you to get started right away. - No need to farm for reinforcement bonuses, such as those required for Artian weapons. |
![]() | - Can fire more Pierce Ammo compared to crafted weapons. *Easy to recharge the Ignition Gauge. - Requires farming for Reinforcement Bonus selection. |
For the best and efficient farming runs, the recommended equipment is either the Wild Stinger, crafted from Congalala materials, or the Artian Heavy Bowgun. Both are Piercing Heavy Bowguns designed around Wyvernheart Ignition, enabling high uptime on Wyvernheart and rapid damage accumulation on chains for faster clears.
Tempered Arkveld Farming Strategy
- Start the Tempered Arkveld Field Survey
- Stop Movement with Paralysis Ammo After Sneak Attack
- Shoot Wyvernheart Ignition into the Chains
- Switch to Pierce Ammo when the Ignition Gauge is depleted. - Continue Step 3 Using Traps, Flash Pods, and Environmental Advantages
- Capture Once Weakened to Complete the Hunt
- Repeat as Many Times As Needed
Farming Gravios Solo is Easy and Quick
Quest: Armor Like a Mountain |

After Chapter 4-1, hunt Gravios that appear in areas like Oilwell Basin |
The best and easiest way to increase your Hunter Rank solo is by farming the quest 'Armor Like a Mountain' where you are required to hunt Gravios. With the right equipment, you can repeat the run in about a minute, making it a convenient method for quickly raising your HR.
Equipment Required for Gravios Farming Runs

The equipment required for farming runs is a Water Element Heavy Bowgun, which can be crafted using Artian parts of Rarity 8. You don't need to worry about the Production/Reinforcement Bonus for now, but if possible, it's ideal to have Attack Infusion x3 for the Production Bonus and Capacity Boost x2 for the Reinforcement Bonus.
Best Artian Build For Each Weapon TypeGravios Farming Strategy
- Start the 'Armor Like a Mountain' Optional Quest in Area 14
- Use Water Ammo to Defeat Gravios
- Since the belly is the weak spot, aim for the center when shooting. - Repeat as Many Times As Needed
