In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, while your character doesn't level up in the traditional RPG sense with stat boosts, there's still an important leveling system you should understand: the Hunter Rank (HR). Let's delve into the details of the maximum Hunter Rank and how you can increase it.
Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained
As of the latest updates, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not have a capped maximum Hunter Rank. Similar to its predecessors in the series, you can continue to elevate your Hunter Rank without any limit. This means you can keep pushing your rank as high as you wish throughout your gameplay.
A noteworthy incentive is the small reward you receive every time you advance by 10 Ranks. This makes striving for a higher HR worthwhile. However, once you've completed all your High Rank missions, further grinding your HR might only serve for bragging rights, as there are no additional gameplay benefits beyond this point.
How to Increase Hunter Rank
Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a straightforward process. Focus on completing the main story missions. During the story phase of the game, progressing through these main missions is essential for raising your HR. Note that optional side quests will not contribute to your Hunter Rank increase.
It's crucial to keep your HR up, as it influences the types of monsters you can engage with in online play. Falling behind can be a disadvantage, especially if you're playing with friends who are advancing at a faster pace.
Once you reach the High Rank missions, new missions will become available as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Concentrating on these missions is the key to quickly boosting your Hunter Rank.
