Resting - What To Do When You Cannot Rest

How to rest in Monster Hunter Wilds. See how to unlock resting feature, what to do when you cannot rest, solve cannot use at current mission progression status, tips and more.

What to Do When You Can't Rest

In Monster Hunter Wilds, if you're unable to rest, try the following solutions: progress the story to High Rank, clear Chapter 5-2, move to a tent other than Suja or the Grand Hub, complete a quest and return, or accumulate Guild Points.

Advance the Story to Chapter 4-1

In Monster Hunter Wilds, resting becomes available once you clear Chapter 4-1 and enter High Rank. While you're still in Low Rank, not only is resting unavailable, but you also can’t change the time of day in real-time. So, focus on clearing Chapter 4-1 first.

Clear Chapter 5-2

From Chapter 5-1 to 5-2, the weather is fixed to Inclemency and you won't be able to rest using a Tent. If you see the message Cannot use at current mission progression status, it means that story-related restrictions are preventing your Hunter to rest. In that case, continue the story until you clear Chapter 5-2.

Move to Another Tent

You cannot rest at the Tents in Suja or the Grand Hub. If you want to rest, move to a Tent located on another map.

Clear Quest and Return

You cannot rest in a tent during a quest. If you have accepted a Quest, take a break after completing the Quest or returning from the quest.

Earn Guild Points

To rest in a tent, you need 500 Guild Points each time. If you don't have enough Guild Points, try earning more from activities like capturing Goldenfish or completing Quests.

How to Rest and Unlock Feature

Rest From the Tent's Campfire Menu

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can rest from the Tent's campfire menu. Resting consumes 500 Guild Points, but you can specify and change to the preferred time and environment.

Rest Using the Portable BBQ Grill

You can rest using the Portable BBQ Grill at locations other than the Base Camp. However, similar to resting at the tent, it consumes 500 Guild Points and you'll be moved to the Tent at the Base Camp of the current map.

Resting Is Unlocked After Chapter 4-1

The rest feature is unlocked after clearing Chapter 4-1 and entering the High Rank environment. During the Low Rank environment, the rest feature is not available, and the time and environment are fixed until you progress through the story.

Reasons to Rest

In Monster Hunter Wilds, resting allows you to do things like change the environment and time, refresh the monsters on the map, and update item trades.

Change Environment and Time

When you rest, you can specify and change the environment and time of day. This is especially useful when you're targeting monsters or endemic life that only appear under specific conditions.

Update Monsters Appearing on Map

The monsters that appear on the map will change over time. Taking a rest will refresh the monster spawns across all maps, so when you're trying to find Tempered monsters or quests with two monsters, take multiple rests to search for a good quest.

Respawn Endemic Life and Special Items

Taking a rest will cause Endemic Life, Special Items, and Gathering Points to respawn. However, they will also respawn when you move between maps, so there's no need to spend Guild Points for that. If you're trying to collect Endemic Life or Special Items that only appear under certain conditions or at specific times, resting can be a useful tool.

Change Current Events

The events occurring on each map will change when you take a rest. Events can include outbreaks of Endemic Life, Special Items, or Gathering Items, an increase in Traps, and even Special Items that only appear during specific events.

Update Item Trade List

The lineup of tradeable items offered by Nata and other NPCs in each region refreshes when the time shifts from night to midnight. Trade options also reset during camp breaks, so you can take breaks to try and find the exchange item you're looking for.

Earn Festival Shares

Festival Shares, which can be used to obtain items materials for upgrading Artian weapons accumulate over time. Specifically, one slot is filled each time the environment in Oilwell Basin changes from Plenty or Fallow to Inclemency. By setting the environment in Oilwell Basin to Inclemency and repeating breaks, you can steadily build up Festival Shares.

Obtain Items from Material Retrieval

Material Retrieval automatically collects specified consumable items and crafting materials for you. It stores up to 2 slots' worth per in-game day (up to a maximum of 16 slots), so materials will continue to accumulate even when you take breaks.

Refresh Support Ship Products

The Support Ship, where you can exchange Guild Points for weapons, materials, and other supplies, remains at the camp for 3 in-game days. After 3 days, it will depart, but it will return to the base camp once again after the same time passes. You can refresh the available items by taking repeated breaks.
