Monster Hunter: World – Guiding Lands Guide

General information

This guide contains SPOILERS 
 
The Guiding Lands can be visited after completing the main story in Monster Hunter World: Iceborn. Not everything is unlocked from the start. 
The biome levels and so also the monsters that can appear are related to the master rank. 
Levels 1-3 are directly available in the starting biomes (forest, wasteland, coral, decomposition) and can be leveled. 
 
Biome level 4: MR 49 Quest: Now sleep in the fire 
Biome level 5 and 6: MR 70 Quest: Very big turmoil 
Biome level 7: MR 100 Quest: By your side until the end 
 
The volcanic biome is unlocked through the special task "Solid pride" and the subsequent quest "Reveal yourself, destroyer". 
 
The tundra biome is unlocked through the special task "Over the lost path". 
 
A maximum of 3 biomes can reach the maximum level 7 on MR 100. 
 
The biomes are leveled by breaking monster parts, catching and killing the monsters. 
 
There is also a pheromone system with which you can collect various baits to attract monsters in a targeted manner. 
 
The pheromone display is also leveled by breaking pieces of mosquito, catching or killing them. There are more points if the pheromone display matches the type of monster. 
 
For example: Fang Wyvern> Kill Tobi-Kadachi 
 
All other types of monsters give fewer points. 
 
The direct bait can also be obtained by collecting “traces of a monster fight” or by gutting dead monsters. 
 
The pile of bones and the crystal deposits level up regardless of the biome level. 
The higher the level, the greater the chance of the rare materials. 
If an occurrence in a biome has reached the maximum level, a "large occurrence" appears which always gives a lead crystal / dragon bone. Then the level falls back and you can start collecting again. 
 
If you do not collect the large occurrence and reach the maximum level a second time, no two large occurrences appear. 
 
My tip: Only collect the large deposits alone / in a duo with your cat, as it has a high chance of collecting a key object from it. 
 
In the Guiding lands are two camps from where you can very quickly reach the individual biomes. 
 
Storage zone 1: 
Jumping down: forest / wasteland 
Through the corridor: tundra 
 
Storage zone 3: 
Jumping off: putrefaction / volcano 
Through the corridor: coral
