Max Hunter Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Boost It

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, even though your character doesn't gain traditional stat boosts like in other RPGs, understanding the leveling system is crucial. Here's a detailed look at the maximum Hunter Rank (HR) and strategies to increase it.

Monster Hunter Wilds Max HR Explained

As of the latest updates, *Monster Hunter Wilds* does not impose a maximum Hunter Rank or HR cap. Similar to its predecessors, your Hunter Rank can continue to rise without an upper limit as you progress through the game. This means you can keep pushing your rank higher and higher.

A notable incentive is the small reward you receive every 10 ranks, which makes it worthwhile to strive for higher ranks. However, once you've completed all High Rank missions, further grinding for HR might only serve your pride. There's no functional benefit beyond that point, but it's still a fun challenge for those who love to see big numbers.

How to Increase Hunter Rank

Increasing your Hunter Rank in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is straightforward. Focus on completing the main story missions. During the story phase, only these missions will contribute to your HR growth; optional side quests won't affect it.

Your Hunter Rank is crucial because it dictates which monsters you're eligible to hunt in online play. Falling behind can be a disadvantage, especially if you're playing with friends who are advancing quickly.

Once you reach High Rank missions, keep an eye out for new missions that unlock as you defeat new and Tempered monsters. Tackling these will be your key to rapidly increasing your HR.
