Guide to Monster Hunter Now Friend Quests: Adding Friends and Joining Quests

The recent update for Monster Hunter Now Season 2 has introduced a new feature that allows you to team up with your friends and go on hunts together. However, it may not be exactly how you imagined.

Friend Quests have recently been implemented in Monster Hunter Now, allowing Hunters to collaborate in order to receive rewards. This feature is especially beneficial for obtaining gathering materials such as Iron Ore, which are essential for upgrading weapons and armor.

Indeed, acquiring top-quality gear demands a significant investment of resources, and reaching Grade 10 for your arsenal can be a lengthy process. However, the Friend Quests feature proves to be a helpful tool in expediting this journey.

To participate in Friend Quests and add Hunters in the Monster Hunter Now Season 2 update, follow these steps.

Friend Quests

These tasks include defeating a certain number of creatures and collecting various resources. The quantity is dependent on the level of challenge you choose.

After you have added a friend to your list of Monster Hunter Now Friends and have reached HR 12, you will have the ability to join their current Friend Quest. To do so, simply follow the steps outlined below:

Select the ‘Quest Menu‘ located at the bottom of the screen.
Select the ‘Friends‘ tab (top right).
Choose the Friend Quest you wish to participate in.
Choose the challenge level for the quest (Easy, Normal, Hard).
After confirmation, the chosen Friend Quest will be displayed in the Friend tab.

Every Thursday at 0:00 am (UTC), a new Friend Quest will be available for selection. However, please note that only one quest can be chosen per week. Take caution when choosing your quest as it will remain locked until the next refresh.

To keep track of your Friend Quest progress, simply go to the Friends tab and click on the quest to see each Hunter’s contribution. It’s important to remember that players who do not contribute to the quest will not receive any rewards.

If you successfully complete your selected Friend Quest, you can redo it a maximum of five times within the week. Although the quest criteria will stay unchanged, the rewards will vary with each completion.

The latest update of Monster Hunter Now Season 2 introduces more than just Friend Quests, as the addition of Elder Dragon Interceptions brings a terrifying new creature to the game.
