How to Increase Master Rank Fast

(MR 1-6) Clear Outpost Quests

For players who have not yet broken the MR 6 cap, the only way to increase your Master Rank (MR) is to clear specific Master Rank Quests at the Outpost. Completing Key Quests will unlock Urgent Quests that will give you access to more monsters and progress the story. However, unlike High Rank, there are Urgent Quests that will not increase your Master Rank. Keep completing these Urgent Quests, and you'll eventually receive quests to increase your MR.

(MR 6-999) Farm Roar of the Black Eclipse

Enlarge

Rampages were one of the fastest ways to gain HR in High Rank, but they don't make a return to Master Rank. However, the Event Quest Roar of the Black Eclipse is one of the fastest ways to raise your MR quickly. It generally rewards enough MR points to increase your MR by 1 after every run.

Compared to multi-monster hunts, this quest takes significantly less time as the target is a single Gore Magala. It's also in the Arena, meaning you can get straight into the hunt without worrying about it running away.

Anomaly Investigations are Viable

Enlarge

Anomaly Investigations, especially those involving multiple monsters, are also a good way of raising MR since you'll be leveling not just your Master Rank but also your Anomaly Research Level. While these will take longer thanks to the much higher HP of afflicted monsters, it should be a more efficient use of your time if you're also planning to grind up to the Lv 200 cap for Anomaly Investigations.

Recommended Quests to Grind MR

*This is an estimation, so please take it with a grain of salt!

For your convenience, we've provided a few examples for the number of Master Rank Points gained from each quest. Note that most Hub Quests only require MR 10 to join while Anomaly Investigations have a research level requirement that increases every 20 levels (ex. Lv 21 hunters can join up to Lv 40 investigations, Lv 41 hunters can join up to Lv 61 investigations).

Master Rank Will Begin Increasing Gradually

Enlarge

For MR 1-5, your Master Rank only advanced after clearing the required Urgent Quests. However, after unlocking the MR cap, you can now accumulate Master Rank points after clearing quests, even when you hit a higher cap. Your MR will remain at the cap, but your rank can jump up after unlocking the cap again.

The amount of Master Rank you gain depends on the quest. In general, quests with multiple monsters will yield more points.

Master Rank Caps and Unlock Conditions

Enlarge

Upon reaching each Master Rank Cap, players will be given Urgent Quests to unlock them. Completing these quests will unlock the cap and allow the player's Master Rank to keep increasing.

Breaking each new Master Rank Cap unlocks new Quests and features, so keep moving on up!

Title Updates take it further as Risen Elder Dragons require an even higher MR to unlock. You can spend the time ranking up to prepare for them!
