Functional Custom Quest Editor for MHGen (self.MonsterHunterCustoms) submitted 1 year ago * by Ihateallkhezu I'm surprised that everyone is whining about how to get Custom Quest Editors, when one simple google search gave me exactly what I was looking for. Monster Hunter World has recently received a custom quest editor, which allows players to create their own quests. No major issue is reported, so it should be pretty safe to use.
I'm surprised that everyone is whining about how to get Custom Quest Editors, when one simple google search gave me exactly what I was looking for.
How to set everything up...
You'll need...
A PC or Laptop with a slot for SD cards, which logically means you'll also need an SD adapter to put your Micro-SD intoif your system uses a Micro-SD. (New3DS)
All theDLC CAPCOM offers you, you can only overwrite Quests, you can not create new ones, so install all the DLC first.
Homebrew, check out /r/3dshacks or just google 'how to get homebrew for 3ds' for this, then follow their instructions as to how to install it.
Bricking a 3DS is not easy, but it's possible, definitely be sure to read and follow their instructions carefully.
I take no responsibility for any broken 3DS systems due to one's inability to read and follow instructions.
I chose to install it with Nintendo 3DS Sound.
After you've installed Homebrew successfully...
If Homebrew installed successfully, there will be a variety of more folders on your SD card.
you want to get MHX Data Manager (mhx_data_manager.zip)
Inside of that will be a folder named '3ds', simply merge this folder with the '3ds' folder your Homebrew created on install, or copy the things inside the data manager 3ds folder into Root/3ds/
Now to the action...
Insert your Micro-SD or SD-Card back into your system and start up Homebrew, choose the MHX Data Manager and select Export Quests, you will then be asked which version of Monster Hunter you have.
MHX
MHGen (EUR)
MHGen (USA)
Select whatever country or region you're in, I believe Australia uses the EUR version.
Then, wait until it exported every quest, which can take up to a minute, go drink some tea or something.
After it's done, press B to leave the screen, press B to leave MHX Data Manager, then press START followed by A to close Homebrew and go back to the default Browser.
Shut down your 3DS, it's time to check the Data on your PC again.
Root/3ds/mhx_data_manager/quest/(country)
These are your DLC Quests, they are '.arc' files.
10100##.arc are Low Rank Quests
10101##.arc are High Rank Quests
10200##.arc are Arena Quests that use setups
11100##.arc are Prowler Quests.
11200##.arc are Prowler Arena Quests that use setups.
## are the IDs of the quests.
With your folder full of .arcs, you can now make your own custom quests, go to the Svanheulen website, select your game (Monster Hunter Generations), click on Browse... and select the .arc file you want to edit.
After you're done editing, click on Save... and then move the .arc file to the directory it initially came from.
Now start up Homebrew and use MHX Data Manager to IMPORT your quests.
There you go, your custom quest is now playable.
It's a bit complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can make some really ridicolous quests.
Most of all, have fun, I hope I didn't unleash too much freedom today.
(Additional rather useful tips)
MOVE (as in cut & paste) all the .arc files into a backup folder ON YOUR PC, edit custom quests from this directory instead of directly from the SD-card, this saves you a lot of time during the Import process.
Frequently save your work (in seperate folders if you have multiple CQs) on your PC to prevent data loss, as well as to save time during the Import process.
Once you want to test your work or if you're finished, COPYONLY. the modified files to the directory
Root/3ds/mhx_data_manager/quest/(country)
This way MHX Data Manager will not need to Import all of the unedited quests again and you have access to the editor without needing to have the SD-card in your PC.
The line, and when to use a Save Editor.
The game has limits set as to how many non-account items can be in supplies and rewards in CQs, if you want to boost or cheat to get anything in this game, then using a Custom Quest Editor is the wrong way to do it, get a Savegame Editor for that purpose instead, it'll be much much simpler and you have a lot more freedom as to what you want to boost, it also comes with a lot of other features, you can for example set your HR extremely low or high, or change the voice of your character, etc.

Setting up the proxy (english) starts at 3:36
Using the editor (english)
Using the editor (italian)
Using the editor (spanish)
I can't connect to the proxy:
follow the instructions in this video
double check every step you did
make sure your firewall allows the editor to accept connections
make sure your 3ds and your pc are on the same network
make sure you only have one configured connection on your 3ds
dont click too often on start/stop...
try changing the port number to anything between 1024 and 65000
If all the above fails, try a program called 'connectify' (there's a free version). Some people reported that it solved their issues. I can't help you with 'connectify' though.
How do i delete the custom quests
Restricted IDs can be overwritten by the official DLCs (might be a JDLC). Unrestricted IDs can be overwritten by other CQs or can be removed by deleting the extra data of the game. This includes unregistered guildquests, friends guildcards, individual messages, streetpass inbox, armor and item sets. There is currently no known valid reason why you would ever do this.
I can't download the quest it's greyed out
You still can download them, just mark them with the A button and press X to download. Don't forget to say YES in the dialog asking you if you want to save them.
My quest says: 'invalid quest data':
Read the 'Important!'-Notice in red in the editor. Also don't try to place special tickets in the rewards, this will also cause invalid quest data!
Your editor does something WRONG!
Make sure it's really an error of my editor and not the game.
Send me the mib and an exact description of what you think is wrong.
I will ignore bug reports which only state 'hey i have problem, help'.
There is blackscreen when i start my quest:
Fatalis, Gogmazios, Ukanlos, etc.. all trigger a cutscene. Ways around it:
place them in the second wave
place them in the small monster list
place them in the unstable monster list
The monster doesnt despawn:
All 3 Fatalis, Gogmazios and both Dalamadurs simply don't.
What's the appropriate attack/health values for G rank?

How do i make a hunt-a-thon quest?
The way the real quests do it (Khezu Example):
Mhfu Custom Quest Editor Download
Quest Type: Hunt
Main Objective: Deliver Paw Pass Ticket 1
Hunt-a-thon Flag: checked (duh)
Refill Supplybox 2: 4x Paw Pass Tickets
Refill 2 Condition: After Killing 2 Khezus
Large Monsters:ONE Khezu with a respawn value of 99
They normally have a subquest for collecting a tear, but this is optional.
