The unlock requirements for the aforementioned content are as follows:

To unlock the Mizutsune quest, you must have a Hunter Rank of 21 or above and talk to Kanya in the Scarlet Forest.
To unlock the Arch-tempered Rey Dau Event Quest, you must have a Hunter Rank of 50 or above.

To unlock the Grand Hub, you must have a Hunter Rank of 16 or above and talk to Tetsuzan in Suja, the Peaks of Accord.

The Grand Hub

The Grand Hub will be a space for the community to gather. Hunters can arm wrestle and interact with each other. The Barrel Bowling mini-game will also be available, providing useful items and pendants as rewards. The vouchers for the same can be procured through login bonuses, among other ways. In the Grand Hub, players can also watch the performance of the Diva at night.

The Grand Hub will also host the Squad Information Center, moving forward once the player has the community space unlocked.

Arena Quests

With Arena Quests, Monster Hunter Wilds players can compete with hunters around the world in how quickly they complete the hunt. Players can participate in these from the Grand Hub's Arena Quest Counter.

The world rankings will be visible at the Grand Hub entrance on the Expedition Record Board. The latter will also hold Arena Quest limited bounties. Limited-time Event Quests will also host Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests.

Players participating in Arena Quests and Challenge Quests need to do so with pre-determined equipment and with a maximum of two hunters. The same limitations are not in force with Free Challenge Quests, with four hunters being the maximum limit.

Alma's Outfit and Cosmetic DLC
