List of Contents
What are Investigations?
Repeatable Field Survey Quests
Investigations are converted Field Survey Hunts, which are done by paying a certain amount of guild points to allow the monster to be hunted at a later time.
The cost of guild points depends on how many stars the survey quest has. More stars means a higher cost.
Once the Field Survey quest is converted to an Investigation, the quest can be completed up to three times. This gives hunters a way to farm the same monster over and over again, with bonus rewards.
Monsters can leave the locale at any time, so turning targets into Investigations is a great way to preserve the bonus rewards and give the hunter the agency to hunt at their leisure.
How to Unlock Investigations
Capture a High Rank Yian Kut-Ku
As an introduction to high rank quests, the hunter is tasked with capturing a high-level Yian Kut-ku in Chapter 4, Ecosystems. Upon completion, this will unlock the Field Survey quest feature, as well as Investigations.
Yian Kut-Ku Weakness and Drops
Increase Your HR To Unlock More Targets
| HR 9 to 15 | |
|---|---|
| HR 16 to 19 (Frenzied) | |
| HR 20 to 30 |
Tier 1 Tempered Monsters |
| HR 31 to 40 | Tier 2 Tempered Monsters |
| HR 41 onwards | Tier 3 Tempered Monsters |
After unlocking high rank Field Surveys and Investigations, a number of monsters will be unlocked for you to hunt initially. Continue progressing through the game to increase your HR, in order to unlock more monsters as Investigation targets.
Hunter Rank Farm Guide and Unlocks
Investigation Rewards
Obtain Bonus Rewards
Investigations provide bonus rewards in addition to the target rewards the hunter receives upon completion. This makes Investigations a great way to farm specific monster parts that the Hunter needs.
It's repeatable nature allows hunters to farm the same monsters faster, while providing bonus rewards such as decorations.
How Do Quest Rewards Work?
Do Investigations for More Monster Gems
Certain monster parts, such as Wyvern Gems, Beast Gems, and Bird Wyvern Gems and other Monster Gems have a very low chance of appearing as a target reward or via carving.
Fortunately, they do have a chance to appear as a Bonus Reward for Investigations, which guarantees at least three drops if you do all three investigation hunts.
If the monster gem or part you are looking for is not currently available as a bonus reward from the monsters currently on the map, you can reset the current spawn of the monsters by changing the time, but this is generally not recommended unless you have a surplus of guild points.
Get More Rewards With Lucky Voucher
Lucky Vouchers can be used to increase the rewards you receive from the investigation. Although they are scarce, Lucky Vouchers increase the rewards you receive from the investigation, so use them as needed.
