Are you collecting tracks already or do you just hunt monsters?

Are either Scenthound / Scholar likely to do what you're looking for?

Research Points don't have anything to do with the Region Levels. Events that give Research Points usually give Region Level xp, but modifiers to increase the amount of Research Points don't affect Region Level xp gains.

If you DO need more Research Points, a good way to get a bunch is to use the Felyne Exchanger foodbuff from four green skill (perception) ales in a custom dish, use a Voucher/Gourmet Voucher to guarentee the effect will trigger, then go gather Guiding Lands bonepiles. Felyne Exchanger increases RP gains by 20% and Guiding Lands bonepiles grant 700 RP for every crystallised Elder Dragon bone you find there which is an extremely fast way to earn RP.


As for Region Levels the best two ways are:

If you need GL materials in general, hunt stuff in that specific region.

If you don't care about GL materials right now or want to fine-tune your regions, gather tracks. Weaker monsters typically drop more tracks but some monsters like Velkhana, Savage Jho or Rajang are also really messy.

When you start out in the GL region levels really don't matter much. You just want to get your Ancient Forest level up to 3 to unlock the monster there, then just hunt in general to discover GL resources you haven't already.

Once your MR increases and you unlock Region Level 6es is where the grindiness starts, because you want to start progressing all regions to 6 at some point, but with the Event Quests on at the moment you can essentially skip that anyway to get all those tasty Gold Rathian weapons, Silver Rathalos/Brute Tigrex armor and Scratched Shells for Yian stuff.


Personally IMO if you think the GL is too grindy, you're approaching the GL wrong. The GL is objectively WAY less grindy than the previous Tempered Investigations system and it's way easier to earn lots of Weapon Augments. Fully augmenting your entire arsenal is actually very feasible with the Guiding Lands.

A lot of people go into the Guiding Lands and just see a Region Level bar they have to fill. If you hunt as many new monsters as possible in the zone when you start out, that bar will fill extremely fast. One hunt is often enough to get most of a Region Level done. Even if you don't actually think you need a specific monster part, you can never have too many GL monster bone materials, they're all useful especially with the Banishing Ball coming extremely soon.


Just gather all the tracks you see in a relevant region, and remember to get as many partbreaks as possible. Plus, bring Geologist lvl 1 to get more materials from the monsters you're fighting. The GL is fine, and even if you don't have all that much time to play MH, you can and will chip away at it.


Oh, and if you want a mod, you should be able to pretty easily find something that'll cheat your way to victory on Nexusmods, just look up MHW guiding lands mods and you should be able to pretty easily find something that'll do what you're looking for.

To get this out of the way, no.

Scenthound affects the rate at which picking up tracks increases your tracking level on a monster. Against monsters you've fully researched, one track is usually enough to instantly show the monster on your map anyway.

Scholar affects the rate at which interacting with monsters/gathering tracks increases that monster's Research Level, and the progress of the story's Special Investigations (not the same thing as the Guiding Lands ones).

Both are terrible skills that are only slightly useful when starting out.

I check the nexus literally every day and to my knowledge there is no mod that levels regions faster.

ID there a reason why you need to level them asap?

Without mods the best thing to do is to focus on monsters that only spawn in the region you want to level, as you'll get a bonus. Also spam traps and break as many parts as possible.

No but there is a trainer that lets you lvl up it how you want. Use at your own risk tho.
