As you unlock more High Rank quests, High Rank gear will also become available. Equipment will have slots and you'll have a wider variety of equipment to choose from.
You will also have more Rampage Quests to choose from. This time around Apex monsters can appear, dropping Apex materials that will allow you to create special Rampage Weapons with up to 3 Rampage Skill Slots as well as being able to change their color.
Upon reaching High Rank you will also be able to start making Decorations. There won't be many amazing Decorations available right away, but as you progress through High Rank quests you'll be able to create better ones.
List of Decorations and How to Unlock
You will also begin unlocking the final switch skill for all weapon types. Speak with Utsushi in the Gathering Hub to receive a quest to unlock them. Keep in mind that you will receive a quest at each ★ up to 6 that will unlock a different set of weapon's switch skills.
| Quest Level | Weapon Type |
|---|---|
| Gathering Hub ★4 | ・Sword and Shield ・Hunting Horn ・Switch Axe ・Light Bowgun |
| Gathering Hub ★5 | ・Great Sword ・Hammer ・Lance ・Charge Blade ・Heavy Bowgun |
| Gathering Hub★6 | ・Long Sword ・Dual Blades ・Gunlance ・Insect Glaive ・Bow |
Once you reach High Rank, you'll be able to level up your buddies past 20. This will also increase their efficiency as Meowcenaries or on the Argosy.
There's a ton of content hiddden behind certain hunter ranks! When you reach a certain hunter rank, you will be asked to complete a quest before you can level up further.
As in all Monster Hunter games, once you reach High Rank things really start to pick up. Starting here you'll be able to start forging a wider variety of equipment as well. With the release of version 2.0, new and stronger monsters will be added to the game. By this time you should at least have a proper build set and weapons to face the monsters headed your way.
