So doing village quests will now raise your HR? I got an urgent quest from the village quest lady that raised my HR to 2. I haven't touched any hub quests though.
Also about turf wars. Is there anyway to see the turf war fully play out? Whenever one happens, one monster ends up in a mountable state and they don't really fight back. I think I had one properly play out though. Earlier today (the urgent quest mentioned above) I had to hunt an Akonosom and a Rathian and the Rathian curb stomped the fuck out of the Akonosom. Was amazing to watch.
