Argosy and Trading Guide | Monster Hunter Rise

This is an article about the Argosy, a trading mechanism in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise). Know how the Argosy works, its location, how to unlock and upgrade submarines, all its Trade Goods, Special Goods, Rare Finds, and more!

Argosy Location

The Argosy is moored at the Buddy Plaza with its representative, Rondine. She comes from a foreign land where you can exchange Kamura Points for helpful items. The Argosy will also unlock when you first go to the Buddy Plaza!

In Sunbreak, the Argosy, like the other Buddy Plaza facilities, can also be accessed through Nagi the Buddy Agent's Buddy Piazza in Elgado.

How to Upgrade the Argosy

When using Trade Requests, you can deploy up to 3 Submarines at the same time but only one (1) will be accessible at the start. Also, the item choices you have for trading are not that varied. More submarines can be unlocked by accomplishing Requests, specifically the ones listed below:

Requests Guide and List of Requests

Order Items via the Argosy

The Argosy Trade Request window is a method of ordering a large bulk of items in Monster Hunter Rise (MH Rise). You could think of it like the Botanical Research from Monster Hunter World.

How to Use Trade Requests

Recommended Trade Request Items

※ We recommend obtaining the items mendtioned here via Argosy Trade Request, for a better supply.

Bargain For More Items

After sending your Buddy on its way, you may choose the type of Bargain it will use! These have different effects on the quantity and the speed of that specific trade mission. Of course, this does not come for cheap as you will need to shell out Kamura Points to use them!

Bargaining Skills List

※ Shiny Bargain and on are unlocked after you enter High Rank
※ Blinding Bargain is unlocked when you update to Version 2.0

Can Receive Bonus Items for Armors and Weapons

As you put in Trade Requests with the Argosy, you can also receive other bonus items, no strings attached. These can be in the form of various crafting materials for some armors and weapons as well, so if you're looking for something specific, set up a bargain and don't forget to go claim them!

Backroom Deals

Once you reach Master Rank in Sunbreak, you'll have access to Backroom Deals for trade requests. This feature enables your buddies to set a Letter of Introduction, allowing them to return with more items. They don't cost anything, so feel free to leave this on!

To enable this feature, press Y on a controller or G on a keyboard while highlighting a buddy's trade request to toggle it. You'll know it's active when you see a scroll appear on the left, below your Buddy's icon. These can be enabled and disabled individually per buddy, and you don't need to cancel any ongoing trade requests.

Item	Usage
Locked Treasure Chest Unlocks at MR 4	Used to create the Barbania Armor Set, Felyne Barbanya set, and Canyne Blackbeard set.
MP Accelerant	Instantly completes a melding request when used.
Melding Pudding	Can be used as material for melding talismans. Worth 200 points when used.

The additional items gained from Backroom Deals have a red background. There's a chance your buddies will bring the items above, but they'll usually return with trade-in items that you can sell, such as Goldenfry and Minegardenite, or they can bring back barrels, empty phials, and Trap Tools that you can use for combines.

Exchange Points For Items via the Argosy

Every time you are in Kamura Village, Rondine The Trader will bring a select number of items that you can spend your Kamura Points for. These items are divided between Trade Goods, Special Goods, and Rare Finds. You can buy multiple numbers of these items as long as you have Kamura Points to spend. Be careful though, these items are very expensive so only use them when you have enough Kamura Points to spend!

Trade Goods

Trade Goods are items that you can purchase from Rondine using Points. The lineup does not change and will unlock as you progress the game!

List of Special Goods
