Monster Hunter Wilds‘ Hunter Ranks act as the title’s leveling system, though it doesn’t really come into play until gamers have finished the main story. Until then, the player’s Hunter Rank is based on which mission they’re on instead of the experience they’ve earned. However, the gamer’s efforts won’t go to waste, as all of the experience they acquire from going on extra hunts and completing side missions is being stored up while they complete the story. By the time someone rolls credits for the first time, their Hunter Rank will likely be sitting around level eight.

Monster Hunter Wilds Player Shares an Interesting Detail About Captured Monsters
One Monster Hunter Wilds player points out an unusual detail about monsters that have been captured in Capcom’s popular action RPG.
In a recent post on Reddit, Shiikurox shared an image of their Hunter Rank increasing from 40 to 103 in one fell swoop, which impressed many other fans. The dramatic increase in Hunter Rank isn’t due to toppling a single foe. Instead, it’s because of the way High Rank play functions in Monster Hunter Wilds. While the bulk of the game’s story is over, there are still main missions to complete that will build upon what came before. A player’s Hunter Level is capped at certain points, keeping them at 20 or 40 until they complete a quest that allows them to progress. However, just like with the main campaign, the gamer continues to gain experience for hunts and side quests that will be utilized once they complete said mission.
A Monster Hunter Wilds Player Increased Their Hunter Rank by 63 Levels at Once
Many people were shocked by the sudden jump in the player’s Hunter Rank, stating that they didn’t see such a drastic increase in their own level after completing every optional quest, crafting every set of armor, and hunting the most difficult creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds. Others suggested that the player must have been grinding monsters for quite some time. Shiikurox stated that they were playing with a friend and decided to grind monsters while waiting for their partner to finish the story.
Gamers looking to increase their Hunter Rank quickly may want to consider capturing monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds instead of killing them. While capturing monsters excludes some materials a player might get from slaying the creature, it does yield a greater number of certain resources, takes less time, and provides gamers with more experience to increase their Hunter Rank. With a wide open world to explore and even more content on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Monster Hunter Wilds.
