Grand Hub - How to Unlock and What You Can Do

This is a guide on how to access the Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) Grand Hub and what you can do. It includes the how to unlock, facilities, number of participants, and more.

How to Unlock and Access Grand Hub

Talk to Tetsuzan in Suja

To unlock The Grand Hub in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must reach Hunter Rank 16 and speak with Tetsuzan in Suja. To reach HR16, you need to progress the story to High Rank and complete Chapter 4-2.

Fast Travel Available

After unlocking The Grand Hub, you can access it by opening the world map and selecting 'Grand Hub' in the top right corner.

How to Join Friends at Grand Hub

Join the Same Lobby

To gather with friends in the Grand Hub in Monster Hunter Wilds, you must join the same lobby. To switch lobbies, interact with Alma and select 'Lobby ID Search,' then enter the Lobby ID of the lobby your friend is in. Alternatively, you can perform an ID search through the 'Lobby Search' option when starting the game.

How to Check the Lobby ID

You can check the Lobby ID of your current lobby by selecting 'Member List' in the menu. If you want to invite someone to your lobby, check and share the Lobby ID with them.

No Need for ID if You're Already Friends

If you are already friends with the player you want to play with, you don't need to search by Lobby ID. Talk to Alma and select 'Hunter Friend Search'; a list of friends will appear, and by selecting the friend you want to play with, you can join their lobby.

What Can You Do in Grand Hub

Things you can do at the Monster Hunter Wilds Grand Hub include interacting with other Hunters, enjoying mini-games such as Barrel Bowling, eating Seasonal Meals, participating in Arena Quests, and accessing Squad Information Counter, among others.

Interact With Other Hunters

In the Grand Hub, you can engage in various interactions with other Hunters. Not only can you be in the same space as in the online lobby, but you can also gather around a table for a meal or enjoy activities like Arm Wrestling.

Mini-game 'Barrel Bowling'

In the Grand Hub, you can challenge the mini-game Barrel Bowling. To participate, you need a 'Barrel Bowling Voucher,' which can be obtained through login bonuses or item trades with Sekka. As a reward, you can earn Hunting Items, Pendants, and more.

Obtain Pendants and Hunting Items

In Barrel Bowling, you can get limited edition pendants, hunting items, etc. as rewards.

Meals From Each Village

At the Canteen area, you can use tickets to order and eat meals from villages across different regions. Previously, these special dishes could only be eaten when invited by NPCs during scheduled events, but after unlocking the Grand Hub, you can enjoy these invitation-only meals at any time.

Free Meal if Someone Uses a Meal Voucher

When someone uses a Meal Voucher in the Grand Hub, all members in the same lobby can eat without using their own Meal Vouchers. To avoid overlap, be sure to communicate with others before using any Meal Vouchers.

Get Voucher from Login Bonus and Bounties

Meals at the Canteen can only be consumed using Meal Vouchers; they cannot be purchased with money or Guild Points. Meal Vouchers can be obtained as login bonuses or as rewards for completing bounties. Since the number of vouchers you can obtain is limited, keep in mind that meals are not available for unlimited use.

Accept Arena Quests

At the Grand Hub's Arena Quest Counter, you can accept Arena Quests. These quests involve hunting specific monsters with designated equipment while competing for the fastest time. In past games, the goal was to reduce your time and achieve a high clear rank, but in this game, you will be able to view world rankings on the Expedition Record Board at the entrance to the Grand Hub.

Check Ranking on Record Board

Rankings for Arena and Challenge Quests can be viewed on the Expedition Record Board located directly at the entrance of the Grand Hub. The rankings display information such as the weapon used, time ranking, completion time, and the date of the record. You can also check your personal best records there.

Accept Challenge Quests

At the Arena Quest Counter, you can also accept Challenge Quests. The Challenge Quests are limited-time event-style combat tournaments. As participation rewards, you will receive exclusive Pendants, and depending on your record and ranking, you can earn Pendants with enhanced decorations, making it an even more competitive and rewarding content.

Obtain Pendants

Participation Reward	Rewards Based on Rankings

You can get a limited Pendant as a participation reward in the Challenge Quest, so even if you are not aiming for a high score, don't forget to receive the participation reward. Also, depending on your score, you can get a pendant with luxurious decorations depending on your record and ranking.

Seasonal Festivities

At the Grand Hub, a limited-time event called the Festival of Accord is held each season. During the event, the decorations and meals at the Grand Hub will change. You can also obtain exclusive equipment, gestures, and Pop-Up Camp decorations, as well as participate in seasonal event quests.

Past Event Quests Will Also Return

During the Festival of Accord, most of the past event quests will return. If there are quests and rewards you missed or ones you would like to complete again, take advantage of this event.

Squad Information Counter

The Squad Information Counter located at the Base Camp in Windward Plains will be moved to the Grand Hub. If you need to change any squad related settings, make sure to use the counter at the Grand Hub.

You Can Go Fishing

Inside the Grand Hub, there is a fishing spot where you can fish. In the introduction video, there was a fishing scene during the Festival of Accord, suggesting that certain fish may be available only during specific seasons, making them limited-time catches.

Fish Available to Catch at Grand Hub

Burst Arowana	Bomb Arowana
Sushifish	Whetfish

Listen to Diva Singing

At night in the Grand Hub, you may have the opportunity to listen to the Diva singing. If you listen to it until the end, it gives the Hunter a random buff. During the performance you can sit on a nearby chair, allowing you to change the camera angle and zoom in for a closer view.

Confirmed Buffs

Giant Downy Crake Location

Behind the South Waterfall

Behind the waterfall in the Grand Hub, you can find a bird (Giant Downy Crake). The bird is located on a slightly elevated area behind the waterfall, and you cannot access it by simply getting close to the waterfall. Instead, you'll need to jump from a nearby platform. Please refer to the video below for the directions.

How to Find Giant Downy Crake

Obtain Items from the Nest

From the Downy Crake's nest, you can obtain consumables, special items, and sellable items randomly. Items accumulate over time, so be sure to check periodically.

How Many Players Can Join in Grand Hub?

Up to 100 Players Can Join

In Monster Hunter Wilds, players in the same lobby can enter the Grand Hub, so the maximum number of participants is the same as the lobby limit—100 players. However, when many players are present in the Grand Hub, the game may impose display limits or other load-reducing measures.

Grand Hub Features Overview

Facilities in the Monster Hunter Wilds Grand Hub include the "Arena Quest Counter", "Squad Team Record Board", and Minigame "Barrel Bowling." They also have all the facilities you need to prepare for hunting, such as the Smithy.

Seasonal Updates

Event-Exclusive Meals Were Available

During the Festival of Accord, event-exclusive meals were added to the Canteen menu in the Grand Hub. To eat them, you'll need event-specific Meal Vouchers, which can be obtained through login bonuses or limited-time bounty rewards during the event.

Changes for Barrel Bowling

During the event, the Large Barrel Bomb used in Barrel Bowling features a special event-specific design. The bombs can be obtained through login bonuses and limited-time bounties throughout the event period.

Login Bonus Ticket Count Increased to 3

During the event, the number of Barrel Bowling Vouchers received from login bonuses has been increased to 3. Take this opportunity to challenge Barrel Bowling and aim for a high score!

Diva's Performance Updated

During the Festival of Accord, the Diva's performance and the stage were changed. Hunters could enjoy the limited-time Diva's song during the event!
