Monster Hunter World: How To Get Commendations

Commendations are one of the many materials you can get in Monster Hunter: World, and a fairly rare one at that.

They are primarily used to get some endgame weapons, such as the Defender III weapon sets. As already said, though, Commendations are pretty rare materials!

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to farm this rare material for all your crafting needs!

How to Get Commendations in Monster Hunter: World

Commendations can only be earned once you have access to, at the bare minimum, 5 Star Quests.

Indeed, the only way to get a Commendation in this game is by completing certain challenging quests!

Pro Tip: If you want to complete challenging quests in no time and with less effort, joining an expedition can be extremely handy.

They are obtained as Quest Rewards, at least, so you don’t need to rely on farming or random chance to get them!

However, the number of quests that give you Commendations as a reward is extremely limited, with only 7 quests in the entire game rewarding them.

These quests start to unlock once you reach Hunter Rank 8 at the earliest. However, you won’t unlock all of them until you reach Hunter Rank 11!

Luckily, you will get 1 guaranteed Commendation every single time you complete any of these quests.

You have a 1% chance to get an extra Commendation as a reward. It’s a pitifully low chance, but you might just luck out!

But there you have it, this is the only way to get Commendations in Monster Hunter: World and Iceborne.

You’ll have to repeatedly complete whichever of these quests you find the easiest until you have enough Commendations for your liking. Good luck out there, Hunter!
