How to Get Commendation¶

Commendations are exclusively obtained at the end of Low Rank quests where your mission is to hunt two or more monsters.

In such quests, the health of each target monster is greatly reduced (compared to quests where you must hunt a single monster). So you don’t have to spend much more time than usual.

Quest	Reward	Rate
Village 6-star: Special License Test 3	Commendation x1	100%
Village 6-star: A Test of Courage	Commendation x1	100%
Village 6-star: Like a Flash of Lightning	Commendation x1	100%
Village 6-star: King of the Sky, Bane of the Land	Commendation x1	100%
Hub 3-star: Tail to Tail	Commendation x1	100%
Hub 3-star: Beastly Chaos	Commendation x1	100%
Hub 3-star: Disastrously Beautiful	Commendation x1	100%

If efficiency is your main priority, we suggest attempting the Village Quests, since the monsters in Hub Quests have more HP. Since you can’t repeat Special License Tests, you’ll have to farm the other three quests.

Alternatively, if you don’t need many Commendations (all equipments only require 1) and want to have more fun, go ahead and try the Hub Quests with friends or other hunters.
