Low Rank Quests: The New World Beckons
The initial Low Rank quests in Monster Hunter: World introduce hunters to the game's core mechanics and the diverse ecosystem of the New World. These quests often involve tracking and hunting smaller monsters before progressing to larger, more challenging foes. Understanding quest objectives and monster behaviors is crucial for success in these early stages.
Here are some key points for Low Rank quests:
- Monster Discovery: Finding Master Rank monsters counts as its own discovery.
- Capturing Monsters: Capturing Master Rank monsters provides more rewards than slaying them. If a quest does not explicitly state "slay," always aim to capture the targeted monster(s).
- Unlocking Quests:
- Talking to villagers with a (!) in Seliana or the Research Station may unlock new quests.
- Completing already owned Optional quests can unlock or help in unlocking new content, including new quests.
- Fully researching monsters (all 4 tabs in the monster manual) may be required to unlock certain quests, especially for Mantle Upgrades. See Ecological Research for more information.
- Quest Access: Your current progress level for Master Rank Assignments may limit which optional quests you have access to. The same applies to Special Assignments.
- "Purr-fect" Quests: All "Purr-fect" quests reward In-Room Decorations.
