3.             HUNTER RANK NOTES
---------------------------------------------------

* You can only raise your first "8" Hunter Rank through Port Tanzia.
* Port Tanzai�s quest are more challenging than Moga Village. Monsters there
  are stronger, harder, and more difficult.
* It is best to raise your Hunter Rank through multiplayer such as connecting
  with other local 3DS players or online through the Wii U.
* Some "Key Quest" requires �Pre-Requisites� which you must complete before it
  shows up.
* Completing all available �Key Quest� will unlock the �Urgent Quest�.
* Upon completing the �Urgent Quest� your Hunter Rank will raise.
* Once you get to Hunter Rank 8, talk to the the Guildmaster at Port
  Tanzia and your Hunter Rank might raise above HR 8 depending on the amount
  time you've been grinding for both Moga Village and Port Tanzai.

======================================
G-Rank Quests LV ******** [HR8-XXX]
======================================

After achieving Hunter Rank 8 and talking to the Guildmaster, it is
possible that your Hunter Rank will raise abruptly. This is due to
all the grinding and HR points you've been accumulating before
reaching Hunter Rank 8. The more quest you've have complete the more
HR points you'll accumulate. You can check how much HR points you have
received after completing a quest.
