List of Optional Quests

Hunt Monsters With Friends

Monster Hunter Wilds - Hunt Monsters With Friends
If you're having trouble completing a quest, you can ask a friend or random hunter to help you out. Doing quests with other players can make encounters easier by increasing the number of targets the monster has to focus on.

Duking It Out on the Windward Plains

Monster Hunter Wilds - Duke it Out on the Windward Plains
Although the quest can be started from any region in the game as long as it's a place where Alma is, the hunting portion of the quest will still take the hunter to the Windward Plains.

Familiarize yourself with the lay of the land, as the environmental hazards that can aid you in the hunt, such as paratoads and vinetraps, can just give you the edge you need.
