WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Complete Palico support side quests
NPC side-quest markers on regional maps and the request giver shown by each quest entry.
Before you go
- Reach the progression point where relevant side quests appear.
- Have access to the region and NPC shown by the map marker.
- Read the request conditions and bring any required items or equipment.
Farming steps
- Open the regional map and look for side-quest markers.
- Select a marker to identify its NPC and review the request.
- Travel to the settlement or area and speak with the marked NPC.
- Accept the request and note its objective and return condition.
- Complete the listed task during an expedition or hunt as appropriate.
- Return to the quest giver and claim the reward.
- Check the relevant Palico support options or menu for the resulting benefit.
- Prioritize requests explicitly tied to Palico support when improving hunt assistance is your goal.
- Revisit regional maps after campaign milestones because new optional tasks may appear.
Repeat, collect and use
Each side quest is a one-time completion. Continue with other Palico requests as they appear; this is not a repeatable farm.
Common mistakes
- Leaving after the objective without returning to claim the reward; revisit the quest giver.
- Assuming every side quest improves the Palico; read the reward details.
- Searching the wrong region; use the marker location and NPC name.
When to stop or switch
Stop after the request is complete and its reward is claimed. Move to another request or return to repeatable hunts for materials.
