The order they open in

End of chapter 4 (Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns): tempered monsters and Artian weapons appear. From here Seasoned Hunter (42.7%) and A Legacy Restored (50.7%) count, and the latter's Rarity 8 material only drops from the tempered versions of Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, Jin Dahaad, Gore Magala and Arkveld.

Chapter 5: Gemma's forge offers the first Rarity 7 armour, and a five-piece set closes Impregnable Defense (54.6%).

After the story and Hunter Rank 40: Rarity 7 weapons for Power Is Everything (45.9%). Artian weapons do not count for it. From here rank climbs freely to 100, with the odd check quest along the way.

One hunt, several trophies

Five counters move with every hunt: 100 large monsters (Monster Slayer, 56.1%), 50 tempered, 50 captures (Capture Pro, 30.7%), 50 apex predators (Top of the Food Chain, 21.6%) and Hunter Rank 100 (Established Hunter, 42.7%). Capturing counts as hunting, and apex predators count tempered or not, so the ideal hunt is capturing a tempered apex predator: it counts for all of them at once.

To make them appear, rest and set Inclemency: in that phase the region's apex predator always shows up. To capture, wait for the skull on the icon, set a trap and throw two Tranq Bombs; Rey Dau and Gypceros ignore the Shock Trap and Jin Dahaad ignores the Pitfall Trap.

The million zenny of Bourgeois Hunter (38.8%) arrives in this phase if you stop spending at the forge for a few hunts; selling in the tent speeds it up.

The apex predators are 50 in total across the four, not 50 of each. And captures only count if the quest ends successfully.
