Receive Powercharm and Armorcharm

You can receive a Powercharm or Armorcharm as a first-time clear reward in Arena Quests. While these are also available through side missions, if you want to get a Powercharm early, it's worth grabbing it from the Arena.

Pick-a-Meal Vouchers Obtainable

Arena Quests and Challenge Quests may reward you with "Pick-a-Meal Vouchers". Using these vouchers allows you to enjoy special meals at any village at any time, which is useful when aiming for stronger Meal Effects.

Limited Bounties

Arena Quests feature exclusive limited-time Bounties. As rewards, you can obtain items like "Wild Herb" and "Hard Armor Sphere".

Cosmetic Pendants

By participating in the ranking system of Arena Quests, players can obtain cosmetic Pendants. The Pendants obtained this way are exclusive to Arena Quests, so make sure to grab them while they're available!

Exclusive Ranking Pendants

Depending on your placement in the global rankings, you could earn special pendants by clearing quests with the fastest times. If you are particular about how your Hunter looks, make an effort to get better clear times for the most luxurious pendants!

How to Unlock Arena Quests

Accept Quests at the Grand Hub

Arena Quests can be accepted and joined from the Arena Quest Counter in the Grand Hub. Talk to the NPC "Ricardo" and choose the quest you want to attempt.

The Grand Hub Unlocks via Tetsuzan

▲ Tetsuzan’s Location

To access the "Grand Hub" where you can accept Arena Quests, your Hunter Rank must be at least 16. Once you reach HR 16, talk to Tetsuzan in Suja to unlock access to the Grand Hub.

How to Play in Multiplayer in the Arena

Multiplayer is Only Possible in a Lobby or with Link Party Members

Multiplayer in a Monster Hunter Wilds Arena Quest can only be possible with people in the same lobby or Link Party. Unlike regular Quests, You can no longer summon random Hunters with an SOS signal.

Difference Between Solo and Multiplayer

The key differences between Solo and Multiplayer in the Monster Hunter Wilds Arena are the monster's total health and the number of items you can bring to the arena.

Monster Health is Higher in Multiplayer

▲Damage caused by wall collision when riding

Between Solo and Multiplayer, it's expected that monsters have more health in multiplayer. Therefore, If you don't contribute enough damage, it will take longer than when soloing, so work together with your hunting partner to achieve better clear time by both outputting decent damage.

Support Hunters Can be Used in Solo

If you are soloing, you can have summon one Support Hunter to accompany you. You can decide whether to hunt with a Support Hunter on the equipment selection screen, so If you do not select this option, you will challenge the arena completely alone.

Item Total is Proportionate to the Number of People

The items you have from the beginning when you select Equipment limited to select options with fixed amounts. Therefore, if two people choose a weapon type that can receive Traps, they can receive and set Traps twice. It's easy to shorten your clear times by incorporating the items you have into your strategy.

How to Summon a Support Hunter

On the Equipment Selection Screen, Press the △ Button

You can have only one Support Hunter with you in both Arena or Challenge Quests. On the screen where you accept the quest and depart, press the △ button. The Support Hunter that participates in each quest is fixed and cannot be changed. Also, if you bring the Support Hunter with you, the time will be recorded as a two-player or Multiplayer clear.

Monsters have Multiplayer Health When You Call For Support

The Monster's health in an Arena or Challenge quest after you call a Support Hunter noticeably increases to match its multiplayer health. Since this is more than when you solo it, it is a good idea to call according to your goal, so if you are aiming for the fastest record, go solo, if you want to get a stable clear time, go with support.

How to Check Arena Rankings

Check Rankings on the Expedition Record Board

Rankings for Arena Quests and Challenge Quests can be checked on the Expedition Record Board, located at the entrance to the Grand Hub, under 'Record Rankings'.

Check Your Rank at the Bottom of the Screen

Your rank is displayed at the bottom of the "Record Board Rankings" screen. Use this to check your position in the rankings.

What Happens to Cheaters

Lose Records and Rewards

Using cheats or engaging in fraudulent activity in Monster Hunter Wilds can result in the cancellation of your record time and loss of reward eligibility if Capcom determines the activity as cheating during Arena Quests or Challenge Quests. Additionally, your account may be suspended or restricted, so it's crucial to avoid cheating at all costs.

Be Cautious of Suspicious Players

Even if you are not engaging in any cheating during a multiplayer quest, if a party member cheats, you may also lose your ranking and reward eligibility. Be wary of players showing strange behavior, such as unusually fast quest completion or abnormal movements.

Unintentional Penalties May Still Occur

The official statement from Capcom clarifies that "no compensation will be provided for participation rewards or ranking rewards if a player is unintentionally flagged for cheating." Therefore, be mindful of the possibility of being involved in cheating in random multiplayer sessions.

What are Arena Quests?

Competitive, Challenging, Timed Quests

Arena Quests are competitive quests wherein players select pre-determined loadouts and race against other Hunters globally for the fastest quest clear times. These rankings can be viewed by visiting the Expedition Record Board towards the entrance of the Grand Hub.

Limited Quest Availability

There are Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests included in the Arena. Challenge Quests can be played with 2 players and fixed loadouts, while Free Challenge Quests can be played with up to 4 players and any equipment you choose.

Palico Does Not Participate

In Arena Quests, Palicos do not join the quest. Since you won't have Palico support, be sure to pay extra attention to your health and other stats when playing solo.

Meals and Other Effects

Effects from Meals, Melodies, and Items cannot be carried over into Arena Quests. Only the effects you receive within the Arena Quest itself will apply.
