First of all, we get a look at the relevant NPCs of the Survey Resource Management Office, which is a location in the hub city of Astrea that players will visit often to register and collecting bounties, manage survey quests and deliver requested items.
The Materials Team Leader is in charge of logistics and distribution of goods. The Research Team Leader manages surveys and deliveries, he is a genius scholar that is also seen as a bit eccentric. The Technical Team Leader is a famous inventor who takes care of equipment and architecture.
Bounties are challenges that can be easily accomplished during the execution of normal hunting quests. There are “Priority Bounties” tied to the construction of facilities and “Delivery Bounties” that are offered periodically. Up to six can be registered at the same time.
When you complete priority bounties, you gain access to new facilities in Astrea.
Survey Quests have various goals like hunting monsters or collecting items. While Mission Quests lets you advance the story and Free Quests let you play around freely, Survey quests occur under special conditions. While they can be attempted a limited number of times, they offer special rewards.
Delivery requests are orders for the delivery of a certain item.
Last, but not least, we get to see the “Guild Card” which is basically your business card as a hunter, which you can customize and includes your relevant stats, to be sent to other players. It includes your title, a comment that you can type freely, a symbol, your image (customized with equipment, pose, and facial expression), your Palico buddy, the number of times you have used each weapon, stats on medals and fighting tournaments, and more.
