Hub Quests in Monster Hunter Rise have been created as a multiplayer hunting experience, with Low Rank and High Rank quests. There are Key Quests that you can set out on, which will allow you to rank up through the Hunter Ranks and on to the higher-ranked quests for even greater and more lucrative rewards.
To peruse and accept them, you will need to head to the Gathering Hub where you can speak to Minoto the Hub Maiden at the Hub Quest Counter. Starting out with the lower-ranked quests, you must complete a specified number before you are faced with overcoming an Urgent Quest to progress on to the next rank.
Below, we have listed every Hub Quest that you will be confronted with at Low Rank, marking those that are Key Quests which you will want to focus on to move upward through the ranks as quickly as possible.
Monster Hunter Rise is now available exclusively for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
