We are excited to announce the leaderboard for Monster Hunter Rise is open for submissions!

I wanted to take the time to explain some of the decisions we made for the submission process:

Individual Levels • Full video recordings are required: Unfortunately, the game can still be modded on Switch. Because of this, we need full runs to verify consistent and unedited damage. • Damage values must be active and visible: This is part of our verification process to ensure players aren't using modded equipment or damage values. This also means recordings with lower resolution may be unverifiable if the values cannot be read. • Showing skills and equipment: If you're familiar with previous MH games, this is an ongoing requirement to verify legal equipment. This also grants us the ability to recreate your run and circumstances if required. • Multiplayer submissions require all POVs: In order to confirm ALL PLAYERS are using legal equipment, all players must record their runs with all verification procedures. A single submission for all 4 runners can be done with the other 3 POVs in the description.

Real Time Attack / Any% • Start Time on START NEW FILE or OVERWRITE CHARACTER confirmation: Time begins when you select the New File or Overwrite a file. Files cannot be deleted in Rise, so Overwriting will be most common. There is a second selection to confirm you want to overwrite the file. This is the preferred method. • Stop Time when target monster is killed/captured: Time stops the moment the monster is captured or killed. The same time the end quest timer appears. Any miss-splits will be readjusted, but practice and understand when time stops (and starts). • Timer and Full Video: As usual, a full video recording (with audio) showing Start and Stop time is required. Livesplit is a great tool for this! • All Add-ons Content from Senri the Mailman is Prohibited: This means items, item packs, layered armors, and other bonuses acquired through the "Add-ons Content" menu from Senri is prohibited. Testing has shown your internet connection can effect how quickly the content is collected. Additionally, not all regions or players received every item pack available. To maintain an even playing field, all Add-ons Content is prohibited. • HUB ONLY: Village Special License quests are Prohibited: To maintain the category as Hub Only, the Special License quests available in Village have been prohibited from the Hub% categories.

This is a new game and a lot of information. If you every have questions comment in this thread or discuss on the community Discord!

Good Luck and Happy Hunting! ~JalBagel

For the level leaderboard rules it states that we must "Show skills, felyne skills, equipment, talisman, and jewel slots during the quest end-timer to confirm prohibited skills/equipment/talismans are not used." Have you determined which felyne skills and dango are banned if any? And since V2.0 added the ability to make any layered armour is there any restrictions on layered armour that is craftable? such as the Rajang pants. Thanks, looking forward to submitting my sub-par runs :D
