[[File:HBR_Score.jpg|thumb|400px|A player checking their Hunters Boost Road points]]
The '''Hunters Boost Road''', commonly known as HBR, was a continuously occurring feature which highlights a set of [[quests]] which could be played together in order to accumulate various boosts while playing the quests featured in the boost road. Boosts were applied to the quests in the Hunters Boost Road when all featured quests were played - playing only one quest would not earn the player any boosts until points were accumulated in all of them.


The quests in the Hunters Boost Road were changed monthly, generally sometime during the first weekend of the month, and all current Hunter Boost Road points were be reset to zero.


Each month there are sets of quests you can play to accumulate points that will increase the drop anything rate (DAR) and the rare drop rate (RDR). You have to complete each quest the same number of times to advance in rank.
Players could earn up to +25% [[drop anything rate]] and +6% [[rare drop rate]], which were shared with members of the party, allowing for a maximum boost rate of +100% drop anything rate and +24% rare drop rate in a party full of players with maxed out points. For characters under level 100 and outside of Ultimate difficulty, players could also earn up to +50% [[experience rate]], which was not shared with other members of the party.


Due to the amount of boosts that could be earned, the Hunters Boost Road was a popular activity for all levels of players, as the chosen quests allowed players to level up or hunt items much more efficiently than other methods.


Points you earn on the Hunters Boost Road are shared across all characters on your account. When completing a quest, you will gain points relative to the difficulty level you played the quest in. 1 point in Normal mode, 2 points in Hard mode, 4 points in Very Hard mode, and 6 points in Ultimate mode. The boots are cumulative in a party.
Players could check their total amount of points at the lobby counter under "Statistics", or type <code>/hbr</code> for a banner across the screen anywhere.
==Quest selection==
As of January 2022, 3-5 quests were selected for the Hunters Boost Road picked entirely at random from a predefined list, with no criteria or patterns to be met. However, once a quest had been featured in the boost road, it would not appear again during the same calendar year, to allow other quests to be part of the boost road and avoid too much repetition.


The quests eligible for Hunters Boost Road were those which are deemed to be less popular or less efficient in general, in order to increase the variety of quests to be played.


You can find detailed information about your Hunters Boost Road progress by typing /hbr while in game.
Prior to January 2022, quests were decided manually as part of a set, such as the Phantasmal World quests, or the Lost Episode 1 quests.

==Point accumulation==
Each time a quest that was featured on the Hunters Boost Road was cleared, Hunters Boost Road points would be earned for that quest, depending on the difficulty:
* Normal: 1
* Hard: 2
* Very Hard: 4
* Ultimate: 6
A player's total Hunter Boost Road points was determined by the quest they had the least points in. This means that if the player had 20 points in quests 1 and 2, but only 10 points in quest 3, they would only have 10 total points. These total points determined the amount of boosts that the player would receive during the quests.
==Rank==
Depending on the total points earned, the player would be given a rank in the Hunters Boost Road. This rank was purely cosmetic, but gives players a general indicator of how well they were progressing on the boost road. The ranks ranged from D to SS.

==Drop rate boosts==
Depending on the total points earned, players would receive a drop rate boost '''during the Hunters Boost Road quests only''' which would be shared with any other party members. The maximum amount of boosts were +25% drop anything rate, and +6% rare drop rate depending on points.


    Total Points: 18 (+11 to DAR) Ranking: C Rank
The accumulation of drop boosts was higher at lower points. Drop anything rate would max at 156 points, and rare drop rate could only be obtained after attaining SS rank at 180 points, and 300 points were required to max rare drop rate boosts.

    Total Points: 24 (+13 to DAR) Ranking: C Rank
==Experience boosts==
Depending on the total points earned, players would also gain an experience boost '''during the Hunters Boost Road quests only''' if playing in Normal, Hard and Very Hard difficulties, and only on characters under level 100 (non-inclusive). The amount of experience rate depended on the total Hunters Boost Road points, calculated with the below formula:


    Total Points: 30 (+15 to DAR) Ranking: B Rank
<code>5% + (Hunters Boost Road Points) (Max 50%)</code>


    Total Points: 36 (+15 to DAR) Ranking: B Rank
For example, a player with 24 Hunters Boost Road points would receive a +29% boost to experience rates, but only when playing outside of Ultimate difficulty, and on a character under level 100.


    Total Points: 42 (+18 to DAR) Ranking: B Rank
This means 45 Hunters Boost Road points were required for achieving the maximum of experience rate boost of 50%.


    Total Points: 48 (+19 to DAR) Ranking: B Rank
Unlike drop rate boosts, this boost is not shared with other players.

A player checking their Hunters Boost Road points

The Hunters Boost Road, commonly known as HBR, was a continuously occurring feature which highlights a set of quests which could be played together in order to accumulate various boosts while playing the quests featured in the boost road. Boosts were applied to the quests in the Hunters Boost Road when all featured quests were played - playing only one quest would not earn the player any boosts until points were accumulated in all of them.

The quests in the Hunters Boost Road were changed monthly, generally sometime during the first weekend of the month, and all current Hunter Boost Road points were be reset to zero.

Players could earn up to +25% drop anything rate and +6% rare drop rate, which were shared with members of the party, allowing for a maximum boost rate of +100% drop anything rate and +24% rare drop rate in a party full of players with maxed out points. For characters under level 100 and outside of Ultimate difficulty, players could also earn up to +50% experience rate, which was not shared with other members of the party.

Due to the amount of boosts that could be earned, the Hunters Boost Road was a popular activity for all levels of players, as the chosen quests allowed players to level up or hunt items much more efficiently than other methods.

Players could check their total amount of points at the lobby counter under "Statistics", or type /hbr for a banner across the screen anywhere.

Quest selection[edit | edit source]

As of January 2022, 3-5 quests were selected for the Hunters Boost Road picked entirely at random from a predefined list, with no criteria or patterns to be met. However, once a quest had been featured in the boost road, it would not appear again during the same calendar year, to allow other quests to be part of the boost road and avoid too much repetition.

The quests eligible for Hunters Boost Road were those which are deemed to be less popular or less efficient in general, in order to increase the variety of quests to be played.

Prior to January 2022, quests were decided manually as part of a set, such as the Phantasmal World quests, or the Lost Episode 1 quests.

Eligible quests[edit | edit source]

List of eligible quests

Episode 1

Episode 2

Episode 4

Point accumulation[edit | edit source]

Each time a quest that was featured on the Hunters Boost Road was cleared, Hunters Boost Road points would be earned for that quest, depending on the difficulty:

  • Normal: 1
  • Hard: 2
  • Very Hard: 4
  • Ultimate: 6

A player's total Hunter Boost Road points was determined by the quest they had the least points in. This means that if the player had 20 points in quests 1 and 2, but only 10 points in quest 3, they would only have 10 total points. These total points determined the amount of boosts that the player would receive during the quests.

Rank[edit | edit source]

Depending on the total points earned, the player would be given a rank in the Hunters Boost Road. This rank was purely cosmetic, but gives players a general indicator of how well they were progressing on the boost road. The ranks ranged from D to SS.

Rank Points
D 0
C 12
B 30
A 54
S 72
SS 156

Drop rate boosts[edit | edit source]

Depending on the total points earned, players would receive a drop rate boost during the Hunters Boost Road quests only which would be shared with any other party members. The maximum amount of boosts were +25% drop anything rate, and +6% rare drop rate depending on points.

The accumulation of drop boosts was higher at lower points. Drop anything rate would max at 156 points, and rare drop rate could only be obtained after attaining SS rank at 180 points, and 300 points were required to max rare drop rate boosts.

Points Drop rate Rare rate
6 +5% -
12 +10%
18 +11%
24 +13%
30 +15%
36 +16%
42 +18%
48 +19%
54 +20%
60-66 +21%
72-90 +22%
96-126 +23%
132-150 +24%
156-174 +25%
180-198 +1%
204-222 +2%
228-246 +3%
252-270 +4%
276-294 +5%
300 +6%

Experience boosts[edit | edit source]

Depending on the total points earned, players would also gain an experience boost during the Hunters Boost Road quests only if playing in Normal, Hard and Very Hard difficulties, and only on characters under level 100 (non-inclusive). The amount of experience rate depended on the total Hunters Boost Road points, calculated with the below formula:

5% + (Hunters Boost Road Points) (Max 50%)

For example, a player with 24 Hunters Boost Road points would receive a +29% boost to experience rates, but only when playing outside of Ultimate difficulty, and on a character under level 100.

This means 45 Hunters Boost Road points were required for achieving the maximum of experience rate boost of 50%.

Unlike drop rate boosts, this boost is not shared with other players.
