- So what are expeditions again? Expeditions are solo quests in the Everwood that replace the free hunts of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Once unlocked, you can access them by tapping the World Map on the lower touchscreen. A low-rank expedition is denoted by a blue monster head seal while a high-rank one is symbolized by a red seal.
- Unlike normal quests, expeditions do not have a time limit or a cap on the number of times you faint. This means you can hunt multiple monsters at your leisure. Given that you can recover HP in camp, I recommend bringing items for refilling stamina as well as Whetstones for Blademasters and ammo mats for Gunners.
- One thing you'll notice at first about the Everwood is that it features some exclusive monsters such as Velocidrome and Yian Kut Ku. As you progress through the village and Gathering Hall quests, other monsters such as Nerscylla and Gore Magala will start showing up in the Everwood as well.
- Besides hunting monsters, the Everwood is a great place for obtaining items such as nectar for upgrading your Kinsect for the insect glaive or Cathangea herbs and seeds to bribe the old coot when multiplying items at the Wycoon cart. You can even recruit Palicoes and unlock costumes for your Poogie when they're available in the map. It's also good for mining items and gear, especially when you get a Rare map with a treasure room.
- Did you just say "rare map" and "treasure room?" Gimme: Occasionally, you'll get a rare expedition with the word, um, "RARE" denoted in big golden letters, as well as enough sparkles to decorate Elton John's glasses. Rare maps are noteworthy for two things: they make it more likely that a rare monster will appear to crash the party and also increase the chances you'll get something rare from gathering spots. These include rusted weapons from mining spots, which makes it even better when you get a rare map that also has a treasure room. The kind of gear you can get is denoted at the bottom of the expedition's info screen.
- Your chances of unlocking a rare hunt is reflected in the number of monster head icons you get after clearing an expedition. In fact, some folks simply run through an expedition map and finish it without killing or touching anything to speed up the process of increasing their monster head icons, which naturally add up after missions. According to the official Japanese Monster Hunter strategy guide book, one head means you have a 1 in 16 chance, two heads denote a 1 in 8 chance, three heads a 1 in 4 chance, four heads a 1 in 2 chance and five heads a 100 percent chance of triggering a rare expedition. You can also boost your chances by using the Felyne Ecologist skill. You can try getting the skill by combining fish and veggies when eating at the Felyne canteen. The stewed version of veggies and drink can trigger it as well.
- Great, but what do expeditions have to do with guild quests? Every time you finish one of your free jaunts in the Everwood, there's a chance that it will unlock a guild quest. To boost your chances, you'll want to take down multiple monsters and also pick up the shiny drops they leave on the ground after you punish them hard via mounting or by breaking body parts. According to the official guidebook, here are the chances of unlocking a guild quest depending on your actions. And yes, they apparently stack:
- One shiny: 10 percent
- Two shinies: 20 percent
- Three shinies: 40 percent
- Four shinies: 60 percent
- Five shinies: 90 percent
- Six shinies: 100 percent
- One monster hunted: 80 percent
- Two monsters hunted: 100 percent
- Note that Everwood monsters have a tendency to flee so you'll want to hunt them before they do so. Depending on the number of monsters you take down, you also have a chance of unlocking double monster quests, which increase rewards and also lower each monster's base HP. The chances for a double quest per hunted monster are:
- One monster: 0 percent
- Two monsters: 35 percent
- Three monsters: 50 percent
- Four monsters: 75 percent
- Five monsters: 100 percent
