Free pulls in Monster Hunter Outlanders come from two kinds of tickets: Standard Contracts for the starter and standard banners, and Featured Contracts for the featured banner. This guide lists the ways to get them, split into recurring sources and one-time rewards, plus how to exchange Rutacoin.
Part of this information comes from the closed beta, so some numbers may differ in the live game.
Standard vs Featured Contracts
There are two kinds of recruitment tickets, and each works on different banners. Standard Contracts are used on the starter banner and the standard banner. Featured Contracts are used on the featured banner, where the limited adventurers are. One ticket gives one pull. Recruitment unlocks when you clear the Chapter 1 story quest Where Adventurers Gather.
| Contract | Used on |
|---|---|
 Standard Contract | Standard banner, starter banner |
 Featured Contract | Featured banner |
Recurring Sources (Weekly, Monthly, Seasonal)
These refill over time. We don't add up a monthly total, because the Bounty Contest exchange count, event rewards, and season length aren't known. From the weekly quest alone, you get about 4–5 Standard Contracts a month.
| Source | Contract | How many | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly quest | Standard | 1 per week (about 4–5 a month) | Clear your daily quests and the weekly one follows. |
| Shop recruitment exchange (Standard exchange) | Both | Up to 5 a month for each contract | Each costs 9 Standard Supply Vouchers, which you get by pulling. |
| Bounty Contest exchange | Both | Resets monthly (count unknown) | Trade in the cookies you bring back from the Bounty Contest. |
| Rumbling Gear exchange | Featured | 6 per season | Rumbling Gear comes from the Rumbling Furnace, even without paying. The exchange also offers Buddies, so choose carefully. |
| Season rank rewards | Featured | 20 in total (period unknown) | Raise both your exploration and solo trial ranks. |
| Rumbling Furnace (free track) | Standard | 5 (period unknown) | Earned by leveling up the furnace through quests, even without paying. |
| Rumbling Furnace (paid track) | Featured | 5 (period unknown) | Requires buying the paid upgrade. Comes with upgrade materials. |
| Limited-time events | Both | Varies by event | From logins and missions. Check the event center at the top right. |
| Investigation quests | Standard | Random | A reward box that may contain a Standard Contract can appear. |
One-Time and Capped Sources
These are one-time rewards, or capped exchanges where it isn't known whether the cap resets. They add up to a lot of pulls, especially early on.
| Source | Contract | How many | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adventurer Rank rewards | Standard | 29 in total | All collected by rank 33. |
| Monster field guide (first hunts) | Standard | Per monster | Claim it from the field guide. Radiant monsters count separately. |
| Free Hunt (first clears) | Standard | 1 per stage | Also gives gear materials and Adventurer Rank EXP. |
| Trial Expedition floors | Standard | At certain floors | From floor 21 on, you can only advance up to 3 times a day. |
| Research Points exchange | Standard | Up to 18 (reset unknown) | 5,000 Research Points each, exchanged in Meld. |
| Co-op Points exchange (assist shop) | Standard | Up to 9 (reset unknown) | 1,000 Co-op Points each, earned from multiplayer. |
Pre-registration milestone rewards also included Standard Contracts. See the link below for details.
Exchanging Rutacoin and Supply Vouchers
| Exchange | Cost per contract | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard exchange | 9 Standard Supply Vouchers | 5 a month per contract |
| Special exchange | 50 Special Supply Vouchers | No limit |
| Rutacoin exchange |  150 Rutacoin | No limit |
The shop's recruitment exchange offers both kinds of contracts. The Standard exchange is limited each month, so use it up every month. The Special and Rutacoin exchanges have no limit, and since they cost the same for either contract, we recommend taking Featured Contracts there so you can pull on the featured banner.
Tips for Using Your Contracts
- The starter banner is a standard banner you can pull only 50 times, and it guarantees a standard SSR within those 50 pulls. A 10-pull costs only 8 Standard Contracts. Because the SSR is guaranteed, spend your Standard Contracts here first.
- In the unlimited exchanges and the Rumbling Gear exchange, don't spend on Standard Contracts: Featured Contracts (and Buddies, in the gear exchange) are better value.
