Large gathering points provide many materials and respawn after 3 hours upon gathering.

Large gathering points stay in the same location. However, the type of materials for each large gathering point changes depending on what terrain that gathering point is located in after the daily terrain changes.

Small Gathering Points: 15 Minutes

Each small gathering point will reward the player with a single material of that type. These gathering points scattered across the map respawn on random locations along with monsters at certain times of the day.

Small gathering points also spawn on your location regularly. After picking up these materials, another set will spawn at your location after 15 minutes. However, for these materials to generate, restarting the MH Now app is necessary.

The 3-hour Respawn Cycle Times

Monster Respawn Every 3 Hours

Large monsters, along with small gathering points, respawn every 00:00 A.M. UTC and then every 3 hours after that. Therefore, like the daily terrain change, large monster respawn times will depend on each location's time zone.

Biomes Also Change Every Day

The biomes or habitats in each area change daily at 00:00 A.M. UTC. Therefore, the daily terrain change will depend on each location's time zone.

Each area's terrain cycles between two possible patterns: "Forest → Swamp → Desert → Forest..." or "Forest → Desert → Swamp → Forest...".

If a large monster does not spawn in your location due to the terrain in your area, you can wait for the daily terrain change for your area to change to a more favorable one where you can encounter the monster you need.
