Expeditions
In this single player mode, hunters explore the Everwood without prior knowledge of the map layout or the kinds of monsters that will appear.
- There are no fail conditions. You will return to base camp no matter how many times you faint.
- If you reach the wagon waiting at the end of the Everwood, you'll receive special benefits and perks. You can also end an Expedition from the menu at any time.
- Hunting monsters you discover during an Expedition will net you Caravan Points, which can be used at certain facilities.
Going On an Expedition
After you gain access to the Everwood, you can go on an Expedition at any time from the World Map.
By completing Quests undertaken at towns and at the Gathering Hall, you'll unlock the ability to go on High-rank and G-rank Expeditions.
Relics
You may discover weapons and armor in the Everwood known as "Relics", but you won't be able to use them as they are. You'll have to take them to a certain town to polish them up before they can be used.
- For a list of Relic Weapons, see the MH4U: Relic Weapons page.
- For a list of Relic Armors, see the MH4U: Relic Armor page.
Viewing Expedition Info
Expedition info is available for viewing from the World Map before you depart on an Expedition. Check back often as the monsters and Relics that appear in the Everwood change each time you return from a Quest.
- Monsters
- Monsters known to appear in the area.
- Environment
- If the environment is listed as "Unstable", there is a possibility of monsters not listed in the Expedition info appearing.
- Treasure Area
- Indicates whether or not there are areas where rare items can be acquired.
- Wild Palicoes
- Indicates whether or not there are Wild Palicoes waiting to be recruited. (Wild Palicoes will begin to appear once you've made a certain level of progress through the single player mode.)
- Poogie
- Indicates whether or not there are poogies out for a stroll. Poogies found in the Everwood may be wearing unusual costumes.
- Equipment Bias
- Indicates the type of equipment likely to be obtained from Relics.
Rare Ecospheres
Occasionally, Rare Ecospheres appear where special monsters can be hunted and valuable items are easily found. The chances of Rare Ecospheres appearing will increase as you go on Expeditions and increase your Rare Eco Discovery Rate.
