THE PROGRESSION NOTEBOOK

Monster Hunter Outlanders Currencies & Contracts

Look up MHO currency uses, contracts, exchange vouchers and recorded earning methods in the client English reference.

Search a currency or contract to check what it is used for and how its description says it is earned. Season labels may differ from the season currently running on your server.

Check the contract, not just its name

Two different items use “Buddy Contract” for different purposes. Read the description before exchanging items. Standard, Featured and Buddy recruitment contracts are not interchangeable in these rules.

Some descriptions include weekly limits or Monday 05:00 resets. The snapshot supplies no numeric cap or time zone for those entries; no local-time conversion is applied.
