You’ll be finding plenty of naturally-occurring resources as you scout the wilds inMonster Hunter Stories, but don’t keep all of them for yourself – it’s always helpful to be collecting things for the Subquests offered by assorted folks in the various settlements across the map.

Whether you’re grabbing some Normal Subquests in the hopes of earning resources, Zenny, new gear, and more, or you’re more focused on the Special Subquests that task you with harder goals that yield much better rewards, it always pays to work on all the Subquests in Monster Hunter Stories – you never know what you’ll need!
