Monster Hunter Wilds took the world by storm when it was released in February of this year. The game developed and published by Capcom sold more than 8 million units, just three days after its release. It is the third installment in the Monster Hunter series and it is currently averaging more than 300,000 players per day.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, players are trading crown investigations in the game to achieve their Platinum trophy, the highest level of achievement. But why are players so keen on trading investigations and why do they want the Platinum trophy? Let’s find out.
Crown Investigations Trading is a thing now in Monster Hunter Wilds
In Monster Hunter Wilds, the size of a monster is of absolute significance. Players often venture to challenging environments to track down and fight the biggest, baddest monsters in that area. Among those fearsome monsters, the gold-crowned monsters are the ones who are considered unique, it usually indicates that it is the biggest or smallest one among the species.
These gold-crowned beasts are necessary to fully complete 100% of the game and players are also required to have gold crowns of each monster to get the Platinum trophy in Wilds. In a recent update, Capcom upgraded the binoculars in the game which can now be used to tell if a monster is a gold-crown monster or not. This move has made the process of finding crowned monsters much faster and easier.
This practice of crown investigation trading has made the game more enjoyable for players who want to complete Monster Hunter Wilds. Sharing the investigations has also made a lot of fans interested in getting the Platinum trophy of the game which took a lot of effort in the series’ previous installments. Approximately only 2% of the players have Platinumed Wilds till now and this number is predicted to increase in the future because of the new trading technique.
Players are indulging in crown investigations trading and giveaways, where fans of the game will just trade investigations of the crowned monsters to help other players get the platinum trophy. An investigation in the game is sort of like quests in Monster Hunter Wilds that track different monsters. If a player adds a monster to their investigation, they will be able to hunt it later on, even after the beast despawns.
Already almost 2% of the player base has platinum-ed the game
Although Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise have almost the same percentage of Platinum players, these two titles have been out for years, hence trading crown investigations is the best way to get Platinum in the new installment. This surge in crown investigation trading has forever transformed how players approach Monster Hunter Wilds, where instead of finding and looking for crowned monsters, players can now just trade other players for crowned investigations.
While we are still unsure whether Capcom took this decision deliberately or not, one thing we are sure of is that this new technique makes completing the game 100% more fun and gratifying.
