Large Monster Investigations

You can easily accumulate lots of Large Monster Investigations through the following: collecting their tracks, breaking parts, and by either slaying or capturing them.

It should be noted that Large Monsters in Low Rank locales will only be Low Rank Monsters as well, and will therefore produce Low Rank Investigations. The same goes for High Rank monsters.

Small Monster Investigations

Small Monsters, unlike Large Monsters, do not have tracks you can pick up. To get investigations for Small Monsters, simply hunt some down until the Investigation added! notification pops up.

Take note that, like Large Monsters, your locale's current rank will also generate Investigations of the same rank.

IGN's Monster Hunter World complete  walkthrough will lead you through every step of Monster Hunter World from the title screen to the final credits.

Below you'll find a list of both Assigned Quests, Optional Quests, and Delivery Quests, you need to complete to unlock more monsters , Botanical Research items , Canteen items , and more.

Still unsure on the Monster Hunter World's mechanics? See the Beginner's Guide to Monster Hunter World

Assigned Quests

These Assigned Quests are done in order as part of the story. As these are completed, more maps, NPCs, tools, and monsters are unlocked. 

Optional Quests

There are optional quests for every monster, which we won't list here. However, these are the optional quests you'll need to complete to unlock more items to farm at the Botanical Research Facility,  Boosters, Mantles, monsters, and more. You can tell an Optional Quest will get you something special by the ellipses next to the quest name.

Delivery Quests

These are given out mostly by the "Fivers" that hang around town, but sometimes the NPCs at the Resource Center hand them out as well. Deliveries must also be completed in order to build any campsites you might find. RP stands for Research Points. 

Setting Up Camp Deliveries

These need to be completed in order to unlock new camps in the different locations , which also act as fast travel points. You must first find the potential campsite before you unlock the delivery quest.

Mantles and Ropelifts

These need to be completed in order to unlock some new mantles as well as the ropelift for the Coral Highlands .

Canteen deliveries

These deliveries unlock new ingredients at the Canteen, allowing for better buffs and a wider variety of Felyne Skills that can be activated when eating. 

Botany Deliveries

These need to be completed in order to unlock new harvest items and harvest box upgrades.
