Free Challenge Quests Explained
Limited-Time Challenge Quests with No Restrictions
Free Challenge Quests are unique hunts that test the ability of hunters to complete a hunt within a specified amount of time. Unlike Challenge Quests, Free Challenge Quests allow the use of any equipment, and can be taken on by up to four players instead of two.
Do note that these hunts, like Event Quests, are only available for a limited time.
Bring Support Hunters
Support Hunters can also be called in during these quests, if any player does not want to hunt with other players.
Time records with Support Hunters are also counted when making attempts to get the fastest clear time possible.
How to Bring Support Hunters in Quests
Requires Slaying Target Monster
Free Challenge Quests will requires slaying the target monster to complete the hunt and set a record time. This means that monsters during the quest cannot be captured in an attempt to set a faster time, as the target needs to be killed.
Arena vs Challenge vs Free Challenge Quests
| Quest Type | Equipment Restrictions? | Limited Availability? | No. of Players |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arena Quests | Yes | No | 2 |
| Challenge Quests | Yes | Yes | 2 |
| Free Challenge Quests | No | Yes | 4 |
While Arena, Challenge, and Free Challenge quest types are all found at the Arena Counter in the Grand Hub, they have different requirements for taking them on.
Arena Quests and Challenge Quests only provide a limited selection of pre-determined weapon and armor sets, meaning players will need to play an unfamiliar Weapon Type and a build different than the one they're used to. In addition, only two players can join. On the other hand, Free Challenge Quests do not share these restrictions, and can be joined with a party of four and any equipment like conventional quests.
Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests, unlike Arena Quests, are similar to Event Quests in that they are only available for a limited time.
Free Challenge Quest Rewards
Exclusive Pendants
Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests were specifically stated to yield new Pendants as a reward.
Rare Pendants for Fast Times and World Ranking
Other special Pendants are available if you get a fast personal time, and even a world ranking. Some extremely rare pendants might only be available to the very best players.
How to Unlock Free Challenge Quests
Unlock the Grand Hub at HR 16
To access the Arena Quest Counter which holds Free Challenge Quests, players will first need to unlock the The Grand Hub, which is made available at Hunter Rank 16.
After reaching HR 16, players can visit Suja and speak to Tetsuzan to unlock The Grand Hub, where the Arena Quest Counter is available to all hunters.
Free Challenge Quests Release Date
Released May 6, 2025
Free Challenge Quests were introduced to Monster Hunter Wilds a few weeks after Title Update 1 went live. The first Free Challenge Quest, The Shining Storm Rages, featuring an Arch-tempered Rey Dau, was available from May 6 until May 20 (PT).
