Monster Hunter Wiki is a FANDOM Games. Monster Hunter Generations does not have levels, but they do have ranks. These determine with quests you can take, which also determines which monsters you can hunt for gear.

As Monster Hunter’s only living weapon, the Insect Glaive needs some extra TLC.
That's because in addition to upgrading its staff, the Insect Glaive set also requires users to feed its other half — a bug called the Kinsect — in order to reach its true potential.
When the Insect Glaive first came out in Monster Hunter 4, however, upgrading its bug was akin to Monster Hunter rocket science. For every stat you boosted via feeding, or example, you downgraded another one, requiring the kind of thought and work that was rarely seen since Monster Hunter Tri allowed you to mix and match Bowgun pieces.
The good news for Monster Hunter Generations, however, is that leveling up the Insect Glaive is now more streamlined. Yes, you still have to feed and level up your Kinsect in addition to the upgrading the staff itself. But things are a lot more straightforward now without requiring as much math with the feeding process like before.
The process currently involves three steps in your “Upgrade Equipment” menu from the Smithy:
- Upgrade Insect Glaive
- Upgrade Kinsect
- Feed Kinsect
The first option is essentially a straightforward weapon upgrade for the staff, requiring a certain set of materials just like other weapons. The last two requires more forethought and tie into each other, affecting whether you have a weapon that emphasizes speed, power, stamina or a more balanced mix of all three. Before you can upgrade your Kinsect, you first need to feed it enough Power, Speed or Heavy Jelly items to level up one of the aforementioned stats three times. Regular Jelly items boost a stat by one point but you can acquire stronger versions (combining a regular Jelly with a Larval Extract, for example, results in “+” version) that can boost stats anywhere from 5 points to a full 10 points, with the latter equating to one whole level boost. You can acquire Jelly from harvest points in the field or via trading with Neko or Chamberlyne as you progress in the game. Ordering Jelly from either cat Trader also can occasionally yields Larval Extract as well. Once you’ve fed a Kinsect enough, all the Jelly items get grayed out and you can now upgrade the Kinsect itself.
Depending on your level and which stats you invest in, you can evolve your Kinsect into different insects. Below is the full set of Kinsects you can aim for and the mats you need to level up your bug based on the official Japanese Monster Hunter X guidebook.
Tier 1
BASE: Culldrone and Mauldrone
- Level 2: Huskberry x3, Worm x3
- Level 3: Monster Bone S x2, Needleberry x6
- Level 4: Monster Bone (L) x1, Exciteshroom x3
- Level 5: Monster Bone+ x2, Exciteshroom x5
- Level 6: Monster Keenbone x1, Dragon Toadstool x2
- Level 7: Monster Hardbone x2, Dragon Toadstool x1
- Level 8: Hyper Monster Bone x2, Dragon Toadstool x2
— Every staff starts out with one of these two bugs, which do not feature any extra effects. The Culldrone is a cutting type while the Mauldrone is a pummeling type. Other bug paths become available from either Level 3 or Level 6.
Tier 2
BALANCED: Elscarad and Arginesse
* Evolves from Culldrone or Mauldrone
- Level 6: Monster Keenbone x1, Dragon Toadstool x2
- Level 7: Monster Hardbone x2, Dragon Toadstool x1
- Level 8: Hyper Monster Bone x2, Dragon Toadstool x2
— My personal favorites. Technically, these should be Tier 3 Kinsects but I'm putting them up here since they evolve from the Base bugs. Available at Level 6, these bugs require Power 6, Weight 6, Speed 6 to unlock. These are the bugs to get if you value extended Triple Up time and all-around performance. They extend Triple Up duration by 1.5 times from 60 seconds to 90 seconds when you get red, orange and white essence at the same time. It also grants a Wide Range effect when hunting with other Insect Glaive users by sharing essence effects with them. Non-Insect Glaive users also benefit from your green essence. The effects are:
- Red essence: 1 minute, Attack +5
- White essence: 1 minute, Affinity +10
- Orange essence: 1 minute, Defense +5
- Green essence: Recover 15 HP
These bugs also get a 5% increase in Power, Weight and Defense with no penalties.
POWER: Alucanid and Foebeetle
* Evolves from Culldrone or Mauldrone
- Level 3: Monster Bone S x2, Might Seed
- Level 4: Monster Bone (L) x1, Might Seed x2
- Level 5: Monster Bone+ x2, Might Seed x3
- Level 6: Monster Keenbone x1, Might Seed x5
- Level 7: Monster Hardbone x2, Demondrug x2

Monster Hunter Generations does not have levels, but they do have ranks. These determine with quests you can take, which also determines which monsters you can hunt for gear. If you want the best gear, you have to keep raising your HR (Hunter Rank) and take on the strongest monsters.
The the good news is you only need to do certain Required Quests to unlock the next rank. The bad news is the game does not tell you which ones you need. The great news is I will let you know everything in this guide!
If you would like general help, or just getting started, please visit my Monster Hunter Generations Beginner Tips and Tricks.
This guide will go over the Hunter Rank requirements in Monster Hunter Generations including:
- How to Raise Hunter Rank - What you need to increase it.
- Required Quests - These are the quests required to unlock the urgent quest for the next rank.
- Urgent Quests - The quests needed to move up to the next rank.
- Low-Rank Quests - These are from HR 1-3.
- High-Rank Quests - These are from HR 4-7.
How to Raise Hunter Rank
- You must complete specific HR quests at the Hunters Hub to unlock an Urgent Quest.
- When you complete the Urgent Quest, you move up to the rank I have listed next to it.
The game doesn't tell you which quests are needed and there are several extra quests you don't need to do. I'll list only the required and urgent quests for each rank.
