Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection – How to Earn Trade Points Fast

Completing NPC side quests is a primary method for farming Trade Points. Each NPC has specific requests; fulfilling these not only assists the characters but also rewards you with significant points. Don’t skip them if you’re looking to gear up quickly!

Track your progress efficiently by setting quests to Active. This adds a star to the corresponding Side Quest icon on your map, allowing for much smoother navigation to your objective.

Trade items scattered throughout the region are a key source of Trade Points. For maximum efficiency, use your Monstie to navigate the map quickly, allowing you to collect these items while maintaining a fast pace

Explore Ashen Pass for Trade Items

Don’t overlook the Ashen Pass sub-area; it’s packed with valuable resources like ores, honey, and monster bones. Because the landscape is so uneven, careful exploration is key to spotting all the rare nodes scattered throughout the region

Spend in Melynx Emporium

Redeem your Trade Points at the Melynx Emporium for premium gear and supplies. Their inventory features everything from powerful healing consumables and combat items to rare recipes for advanced crafting

If you’re just starting out in Monster Hunter Stories 3, don’t just spend your points on basic potions. Focus on these high-value items first to gain a massive advantage:

Permanent Stat Boosters (Vitality/Strength/Defense Nutrients)

Why: These are the most valuable items in the shop. They provide permanent stat increases for your Rider or your Monsties. Investing in these early makes the late-game grind much easier.

Rare Crafting Recipes

Why: You can’t craft high-tier consumables without the right books. Grab these recipes as soon as they appear so you can stay stocked on Mega Potions and Lifepowders without spending more Trade Points.

Expedition Tickets (Rare & Super Rare)

Why: If you want those Elder Dragons or Deviant Monsties, you’ll need these tickets to access high-rank dens. They’re expensive, but they are the fastest way to build a top-tier team.

Unique Layered Armor

Why: For the fashion hunters! The Emporium often stocks exclusive layered armor that you can’t get anywhere else. It doesn’t affect stats, but looking cool while hunting is half the fun.

Powerful Combat Items (Large Barrel Bombs/Traps)

Why: If you’re struggling with a specific boss, these items can turn the tide of battle. Keep a small stack of these for emergency situations where your Monstie’s skills aren’t enough.

Note: Items with * unlock as you progress through the story.
