Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Now: Your Guide to Leveling Up and Progressing
Hunter Rank (HR) is the leveling system in Monster Hunter Now that showcases your experience and expertise as a hunter. As a core feature of the game, increasing your Hunter Rank will not only grant you valuable consumable items like Paintballs but also unlock new and exciting features. While your main focus should be on progressing through the main quest, which expands your monster list and introduces new weapon types, keeping an eye on your Hunter Rank is a great way to monitor your overall progress in the game.
How to Earn Hunter Rank Points (HRP) in Monster Hunter Now
There are multiple ways to earn Hunter Rank points in Monster Hunter Now:
- Advancing through the main quest: Depending on the step, you can earn anywhere from 50 to 150 HRP.
- Completing daily quests: Each daily quest rewards you with 200 HRP. You can complete a maximum of three quests per day.
- Defeating large monsters: For each star rating, you earn a specific amount of HRP – 10 HRP for 1 star, 20 HRP for 2 stars, 40 HRP for 3 stars, and 60 HRP for 4 stars.
The opportunity to access daily quests and encounter large monsters unlocks once you reach HR11. These quests and monster battles will become your main source of HRP. Daily quests offer the best return for your time, so it’s essential to log in regularly and complete them. The advantage is that these quests often involve defeating large monsters, which also grant you a small amount of HRP.
Besides focusing on daily quests, it’s crucial to tackle large monsters for their parts and steadily progress through the main quest to unlock more monster varieties. By following this strategy – completing your dailies, advancing the main story, and taking down large monsters – you’ll witness a rapid increase in your Hunter Rank.
