Hunter Rank and side quests
Raise Hunter Rank through Field Investigations
A repeatable route for gaining Hunter Rank while pursuing monster materials and investigation rewards.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Raise Hunter Rank through Field Investigations
Field Investigations registered from roaming monsters on regional world maps and launched through Alma.
Before you go
- Complete campaign progress that unlocks High Rank and Field Investigations.
- Have access to Alma and the region map.
- Choose a monster whose hunt and listed rewards suit your current goal.
Farming steps
- Open the map and inspect roaming monsters across available regions.
- Check a candidate’s guaranteed drops and choose one that fits a material or decoration goal.
- Ask Alma to save the selected roaming hunt as an Investigation.
- Launch it from Alma and complete the hunt.
- Claim rewards and let any decoration orbs appraise at hunt completion.
- Check your Hunter Rank progress after the quest.
- If rank is capped, return to campaign assignments and complete the available milestone.
- Optional Quests also increase HR; pick the activity that overlaps best with your other goal.
- The ceiling rises through campaign milestones, so check assignments when rank progress caps.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat with other available Field Investigations. Each saved hunt has limited attempts; register another roaming monster when one is spent.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every hunt raises the ceiling; complete key campaign quests when HR is capped.
- Choosing randomly when you need a material; inspect guaranteed rewards before saving.
- Ignoring other hunt output; collect and use listed materials and appraised decorations too.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you reach the next HR requirement or hit a ceiling. Complete the cap-raising assignment, then resume if more rank is needed.
