Crafting better gear lies at the heart ofMonster Hunter World. Beyond the epic boss fights is a more relaxed metagame that’s all about mixing and matching different pieces of gear together. Of course, crafting isn’t free, and materials like Research Commission Tickets aren’t as readily available as some others.
Research Commission Tickets are special crafting materials that aren’t as obvious to find as monster parts or the many metal ores inMonster Hunter World.Still, they’re needed for a handful of gear, including a special armor set, some charms, and an entire weapon line madefrom one specific Elder Dragon. Here’s where to get some of these tickets.
How to Get Research Commission Tickets in MHW
The best way to get Research Commission Tickets is tocomplete optional High Rank quests. There is a finite number of quests to finish, but these should be enough to fill in for your immediate crafting needs.
The other way to farm for Research Commission Tickets is to farm theWhite Winds of the New WorldandThe Sapphire Star’s Guidancequests, which are both 9-star missions that are fairly difficult. White Winds tasks players with hunting four monsters in the Special Arena (Legiana, Odogaron, Rathalos, and Diablos), while Sapphire Star’s Guidance sends players to Elder’s Recessto hunt Tempered Elder Dragons(Kushala Daora, Teostra, and Nergigante).
Farming these two quests is recommended only as a last resort since their drop rate for Research Commission Tickets is very low (~1%). However, if you’re all out of HR quests to do, then these two are your only options.
The White Winds of the New World quest only appears once you’ve completed all other optional HR questsand captured every monsterat least once. If it doesn’t appear in the 9-star HR quest menu, then ensure to satisfy these conditions first.
Research Commission Tickets are required to craft theCommission Armor Sets(the armor worn by the Commander and the Handler) as well asall of Lunastra’s Rarity 8 weapons. Tickets are also required to craft the following charms:
TheHandicraftCharmis especially helpful for fast-attacking weapons like Dual Blades and the Insect Glaive. It increases the sharpness gauge of weapons as long as its base sharpness level isn’t already maxed out.Penetration Charmis great for Bow and Bowgun users who prefer Pierce Ammo.
