Investigations and bonus rewards
Target Gold-box Investigation rewards
Use target-specific bonus boxes to improve your chances of getting the monster material you need for equipment progression.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Target Gold-box Investigation rewards
Registered Investigation quests for the monster whose parts you need; manage them at the Resource Center and launch them from the Handler or Quest Board.
Before you go
- Obtain Investigations through monster tracks, part breaks, or hunts.
- Have access to the Resource Center’s Manage Investigations menu.
- Know the target and material you are farming.
Farming steps
- At the Resource Center, open Manage Investigations and review quests for your target monster.
- Compare reward boxes, objective, failure conditions, time limit, and remaining attempts.
- Register a promising quest; registration itself does not consume an attempt.
- Launch the registered Investigation from the Handler or Quest Board.
- Complete the stated objective, hunting or capturing as appropriate.
- Collect the normal quest rewards and the Investigation’s bonus boxes.
- Favor gold boxes when the target and conditions are otherwise suitable; rewards remain randomized.
- Check the monster’s material entry in Hunter’s Notes to see whether capture, a break, or a hunt best supports your goal.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat while the Investigation has attempts remaining. Investigations have limited attempts; obtain and register another when they run out.
Common mistakes
- Choosing gold boxes without checking the target: verify it is the monster that drops your needed material.
- Ignoring restrictive failure conditions: choose a safer quest if its faint limit or other conditions threaten completion.
- Expecting a guaranteed rare part: boxes improve the bonus pool but do not promise a specific item.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough of the target material for the equipment recipe, or switch to another suitable Investigation when attempts run out.
