Unlike many RPGs where character stats increase with levels, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a unique Hunter Rank (HR) system. This guide explains the maximum HR and how to increase it.
Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no maximum Hunter Rank. Your HR will continue to increase as you progress. Reaching every tenth rank yields a small reward, providing incentive to push higher. However, after completing all High Rank missions, further HR increases are primarily for bragging rights.
Increasing your HR in Monster Hunter Wilds is simple: complete main story missions. During the story, only main missions raise your HR; side quests won't. This is crucial, as your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt online, ensuring you can play with friends without limitations.
Once you reach High Rank, tackling new and Tempered monsters unlocks further missions, providing a consistent path to increase your HR.
