Unlike many RPGs where character stats improve with leveling, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a unique Hunter Rank (HR) system. This guide explains the maximum HR and how to increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Understanding Max Hunter Rank
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no maximum Hunter Rank. You can continuously increase your HR as you progress. Reaching every tenth rank yields a small reward, providing incentive to keep pushing. However, once you've completed all High Rank missions, further HR increases are primarily for bragging rights.
How to Increase Your Hunter Rank
Boosting your HR in Monster Hunter Wilds is simple: complete main story missions. During the story, only main missions raise your HR; side quests won't affect it. This is crucial for online play, as your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt, ensuring you keep pace with your friends.
Progressing to High Rank unlocks new missions featuring tougher monsters, including Tempered variants. Focusing on these missions is the fastest way to increase your HR.
