Unlike many RPGs where character stats increase with level, *Monster Hunter Wilds* features a Hunter Rank (HR) system. This guide explains the maximum Hunter Rank and how to increase it.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Understanding the Max Hunter Rank

Currently, Monster Hunter Wilds has no maximum Hunter Rank (HR) cap. Your HR will continue to increase as you progress. Reaching increments of 10 ranks yields small rewards, providing incentive to advance. However, once you've completed all High Rank missions, further HR increases are primarily for bragging rights.

How to Increase Your Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds

Increasing your HR is simple: complete main story missions. During the story, only main missions raise your HR; side quests won't contribute. Your HR dictates which monsters you can hunt online, so keeping up is crucial, especially when playing with friends.

Once you reach High Rank, new missions unlock as you defeat standard and Tempered monsters. Focusing on these missions offers the fastest path to increased HR.
