Soft Locked at Hunter Level 4?

[Thepyromancer]

I’ve been playing for awhile now and I’m currently at chapter 2-4 where I’m about to fight Nu Udra. However my hunter level hasn’t gone over level 4 for a long while now and I don’t know how to fix it. I’d really like to participate in the spring festival event.

Your rank goes up as you do your story. Eventually it will uncap and allow you to keep leveling it. But it starts off requiring story completion to work it up

this is correct.

HR cap goes up as you do story, but if you spent any time farming gear instead of just doing story missions, there is good chance as your cap goes up you'll find yourself capped again until you progress further through story

Low rank gives you a fixed rank that increases with each story missions until you complete the main story. After that, your rank is capped and the cap increases with each HR chapter with the final cap being 40. After that the cap will be removed.

However, the game keeps track of your actual rank and adjusts it accordingly each time the cap is increades or lifted at the end.

dont worry once you complete the story mission all those extra fights you did gets added to your initial HR once story is finished, think once i finished chapter 4 my rank went up like 10+ times instantly cus i had done a ton of different SoS calls
