Completing each Main Mission until Chapter 3-5 can passively raise your Hunter Rank to at least Hunter Rank 8!
Do note that simply slaying the monster associated with each Main Mission will not raise your rank immediately. You must finish the Mission related to the hunt in order for the Hunter Rank increase to be applied. You may also need to do some Side Missions if you need extra HR points.

Upon reaching High Rank, Hunter Ranks caps are higher, with larger rank gaps in between. It's encouraged to do Side Missions, Field Surveys, Investigations, or SOS quests to reach the higher HR caps and unlock the HR Main Missions and Extra Missions.
HR 41+ Unlocks: Artian Weapon Grind and Future Title Updates
| Rank | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| HR 41+ | ・HR Cap removed ・Meld Tier 1 Decorations |
| HR 50 | ・High Rank Zoh Shia in A First Cry mission and Field Surveys and Investigations |
| HR 61 | ・Meld Rarity 7 Artian Weapon Relics |
| HR 100 | ・Meld Rarity 8 Artian Weapon Relics ・Meld Tier 2 Decorations ・★9 Monsters ・Established Hunter Trophy |
Reaching HR 41+ and above unlocks HR Cap Removal and Melding Tier 1 Decorations, which makes reaching HR 100 as the next goal.
At HR 61, you unlock Melding Rarity 7 Artian Relics. On HR 100, you unlock further upgrades to the Melding Pot which lets you Meld Tier 2 Decorations, obtain the Established Hunter Trophy, Meld Rarity 8 Artian Parts, and get the ability to hunt 9-Star Difficulty Monsters.
Afterwards, you're simply free to mix up your builds while stocking up on crafting materials to prepare for Upcoming Title Updates in the game!
How to Raise HR Fast
Complete Event Quests with HR Points as a Reward
Some event quests reward a large amount of Hunter Rank points as their main reward. You can grind these quests if you'd like to farm for HR points!
Event Quests That Reward HR Points
| Event Quest | Required HR | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Anguish and Atrocity | HR21+ | HR Points (about 1/2 of 1 HR level) |
| Eldrich Enigma | HR31+ | HR Points (more than 1/2 of 1 HR level) |
The event quests listed here are quests with HR Points as their main reward. Take note of their Hunter Rank requirements and event durations, as these quests are available for a limited time only. Anguish and Atrocity is the more accessible quest, with a lower HR requirement, a non-Tempered target monster, and a lot of reruns.
Event Quests Schedule and Rewards
Complete Side Missions
Side Missions are one of the best ways to farm points to increase Hunter Rank, especially those tied to Optional Quests. Completing these not only grants points from Optional Quests but also rewards additional points from Side Missions.
This effectively doubles the points earned, allowing for a faster increase in Hunter Rank.
You can complete missions which unlock gatherers for the Material Retrieval item farm to help you passively get items.
List of Side Missions (Side Quests)
Repeat Aberrant Atrocity Quest for HR 100
After reaching HR 41, your Hunter Rank will be fully unlocked without a cap, but your next goal to reach is HR 100 which will unlock several features.
To reach HR 100 quickly, you can repeat the Aberrant Atrocity quest and easily hunt Yian Kut-Ku, as it has much less health than a regular Yian Kut-Ku.
Hunt Tempered Monsters
You can also try hunting Tempered Monsters if you are confident enough with your skill and equipment. This way, you'll also get Artian materials which you can use to craft Artian Weapons. These weapons will help you on your grind to HR100.
HR Progression is Saved Until Cap is Unlocked
You'll still get Hunter Rank progression even if you hit an HR cap. Any excess HR points will be applied once the HR cap is removed upon completing a certain Main Mission, which means that you can keep building up to raise your HR even if it's capped.
Hunter Rank (HR) Explained
Serves as Progress Indicator
Hunter Rank represents your progress in the game. It shows how far along you are, especially since Hunter Ranks are capped between Main Missions.
Required for Quests
Hunter Ranks are also required for quests, with some having higher rank requirements to join. They are also needed for multiplayer quests, so keep progressing to access quests with rarer rewards.
Hunter Rank Trophy
Established Hunter
| Established Hunter | |
|---|---|
|
|
Trophy:  Bronze |

| Difficulty: ★★★★✩ | |
| Objective: Reached Hunter Rank 100. | |
Established Hunter is the only trophy or achievement related to Hunter Ranks, and you can unlock it as soon as you reach Hunter Rank 100!
