General Advice
1. If there is an ongoing event (e.g. Great Winter Hunt, Ronza), please refer to events or Ronza.
2. To get a feel for the game mechanics again, briefly follow the tasks listed in your Adventure Book (on your Camp page).
3. Look up MH wiki walkthrough.
- What locations are available for your rank
- What items you need to unlock those locations
- Which are the minimum traps needed
4. Refer to Zafiast's location progression chart
Note that some tasks in your Adventure Book are not needed for progression (e.g. Iceberg).
5. Join MH Discord & read the pins.
If you have a quick question which the MH wiki or Discord pins cannot answer, you will get a faster response on Discord (#mh-questions).
For questions that you might require a longer explanation for, consider posting in (#mh-discussion) instead.
​
You might also want to take a look at the MH wiki timeline to see what was added to the game while you were away.
