Monster Hunter Risetends to be pretty straightforward with its materials. If an item says “Tigrex” on it, chances are that item is obtained by hunting a Tigrex. Since players have been hunting monsters, carving them for materials, and crafting weapons and armor since the game came out, most are pretty well-versed in this system by now.

Even so, there are some weapons and armor that require coins, and it isn’t entirely obvious where players should look to get these at first. This is the case with the Ace Hunter Coin, which players might need for the Mighty Bow Feather armor piece. All of these coins come from Arena Quests inMonster Hunter Rise, and these pose a unique challenge when compared to other quests.
Updated on June 26th, 2022 by Hodey Johns:With over a year lapsing since this article’s initial debut, it became clear that it was time for an update. That being said, the information in this original article has remained true, even after new patches, balances, and changes have occurred in the game. But readers looking for an answer to this particular question were looking for something a bit more straightforward. The information has been organized into two sections that represent the two steps players must take to get ahold of some Ace Hunter Coins for their equipment needs.
Pick Up Arena Quests
First thing’s first, Ace Hunter Coins are not dropped as loot. They are given out as rewards for completing quests in the arena. This presents a unique challenge when compared to other quests, likethe popular (and hopefully permanent) follower quests.

When starting an Arena Quest, players are restricted to one of five different types of weapons. What’s more, they are given preset weapons, armor, and item loadouts that they have to defeat the hunt with. The game boils it all down to pure talent and skill, disabling overgeared competitors from steamrolling their way through such challenges.

The first way of getting Ace Hunter Coins is by completing Arena 05. This pits players against a Rajang in the arena, and limits their weapon choices. Players have to choose between Dual Blades, Greatswords, Longswords, Lances, and Heavy Bowguns. Players can still get Ace Hunter Coins even if they only get B Rank (complete the hunt within 50 minutes). Proving too difficult? Install one ofmany excellent modsto help complete the arena.

N/A (no coins awarded)
The second way of getting Ace Hunter Coins is by completing Arena 06. This is a quest that was added with an update toMonster Hunter Rise. Rather than taking on a single Rajang, players will now be hunting a whole host of monsters, including a Volvidon, Basarios, and even the infamous Bazelgeuse. This is the tougher way of receiving the coins since B-Rank no longer rewards Ace Hunter Coins, butswitching weapons in combatmay help improve the final time.
Monster Hunter Riseis available now on Nintendo Switch and PC.
