Group hunt in a Party
While in a Party, you can invite only Party members to join you in hunting Large monsters in the field or on the Paintball List. If your Party has fewer than 4 members, you can also invite nearby hunters to join.
Note: To participate in a Group hunt, Party members must be within a certain range of the inviter and accept the invitation. If a Party member is not within the designated range or declines the invitation, they cannot join the Group hunt.
Note: While in a party, your location information is shared with other members, and you can view each other's avatars moving around on the Main Screen.
Note: While in a Party, you cannot engage in "Solo Hunting" or use Paintballs to mark Large monsters in the field.
Note: If any Party member initiates a Group hunt, other Party members cannot start hunting Large monsters in the field or on the Paintball list.
Hunting Large monsters in the field with Party members:
Tap on the Large monster that has appeared within the Access Circle.
On the next [Hunt Preparation Menu], you can change your weapons and armor.
Once you're ready, tap [Invite Party]. If you want to invite other nearby hunters within a certain range, tap [Hunt with nearby hunters].
Once a Party member who invited others to hunt is ready, they can tap "Ready to hunt" to initiate the hunt.
Hunting monsters in the Paintball List with party members:
On the Main screen, tap the [Paintball] button.
Tap the monster that has been marked.
Tap [Hunt].
On the following Hunt Prep screen, you can change your weapons and armor. Once you're prepared, tap [Invite Party].
When a Party member who invited others to hunt taps [Ready to hunt], the hunt will begin.
Note: When in a party, you are not able to hunt a monster on the Paintball list with hunters other than your Party members.
<Leaving a Party>
Tap the Party button on the Main screen or tap on [Hunter] icon, then [Party].
Tap [Leave Party].
Note: Party members, including the one who formed the Party, cannot dissolve the Party. To end the Party, each member must leave individually. The Party will automatically disband only when there is a single member remaining.
