Guidelines
About This Site (hereafter, Toubatsu Table)
This site collects Monster Hunter Now's hunting times and low-grade hunting records with the goal of widely sharing useful play records with many users, from beginners to veterans.
Categories
Toubatsu Table has two categories: Low-Grade Hunts and Fastest Time Hunts. Each category is further divided into three grades: 8-star, 9-star, and 10-star. For 10-star, only the fastest time hunts are posted, as low-grade and fastest time data often overlap.
Category Selection
Submitted data is automatically sorted into the appropriate category. Depending on the content of the data, it may belong to both categories.
Low-Grade Posting Rules
Records of hunts using lower-grade weapons are posted. If there are records of the same grade, the faster hunting time will be posted. If the same grade and time, the one reported earlier will be prioritized. There are slots for elemental/non-elemental/poison/paralysis/sleep, with additional slots for Heroics. There are also separate slots for whether or not Driftsmelt is used.
Fastest Time Posting Rules
The fastest hunt time records are posted. If the same time is submitted, the one posted earlier will be prioritized. Even if the same record with the no-element gunlance is achieved with a lower-grade weapon, the existing record will not be overwritten if the time is the same. There are slots for elemental/non-elemental/poison/paralysis/sleep, with additional slots for Heroics.
Posting Restrictions
8-Star Low-Grade
There are no restrictions for large-scale hunts. For other monsters, weapons of G8-5 grade or lower are eligible.
8-Star Fastest Time
There are no restrictions for large-scale hunts. For other monsters, hunting times under 60 seconds are eligible.
9-Star Low-Grade
Weapons of G10-4 grade or lower are eligible. G10-5 weapons are excluded to prevent overlap with many records of 10-star fastest times.
9-Star Fastest Time
No restrictions.
10-Star Low-Grade
Weapons of G10-4 grade or lower are eligible. G10-5 weapons are excluded to prevent overlap with many records of 10-star fastest times.
10-Star Fastest Time
No restrictions.
Regarding Non-Heroics and Heroics Records(Also applies to Driftsmelt)
If Heroics records are inferior to non-Heroics records, the Heroics records will not be posted.
This is because using Heroics should generally result in better records than non-Heroics. Posting records that are equal to or less than non-Heroics would result in duplication.
For example, if there is already a non-Heroics record of a 9-star monster hunt with a G7-5 weapon, a Heroics record with the same weapon will no longer be posted. The same applies to fastest time hunts.
About Rankings
This section explains the rankings on the Toubatsu Table.
There are two types of rankings: one based on the number of 8-star, 9-star, and 10-star hunts, and another based on hunting records for each weapon.
Rankings Based on the Number of 8-star, 9-star, and 10-star Hunts
As the name suggests, this ranking lists users in order of the number of 8-star, 9-star, and 10-star hunts they have completed, as displayed on the Toubatsu Table.
Rankings Based on Hunting Records for Each Weapon
・In this ranking, scores are calculated using a unique algorithm based on the records listed on the Toubatsu Table.
・This ranking was removed on September 12, 2024. The reason is that it was difficult to implement a fair scoring system that everyone could agree on.
・For past records, please refer to this page.
How to Post
Here's how to post records on Toubatsu Table.
Submission Form URL
https://forms.gle/Mgt2XRJknRkek2XN6Submission Content

・(Required) Grade of the hunted monster
・(Required) Weapon type
・(Required) Weapon monster
・(Required) Weapon attribute

Mandatory Information for Proof Videos
If the following conditions are not met, the video will be excluded from posting.
・The video must be viewable by anyone
Intent: To verify the accuracy of the information
・Complies with NIANTIC's Terms of Service
Intent: To prevent the posting of videos involving cheating
Additionally, the following four pieces of information must be included in the proof video.
・Footage from the start to the end of the hunt
Intent: To confirm that the hunt was completed without cheating
・Hunter's username
Intent: To prevent false submissions using someone else's video
・Hunt time
Intent: To avoid discrepancies between the actual and estimated times based on the remaining time, aiming for precise one-second unit records
・Footage of the equipment used
Intent: With the addition of Driftsmelt, it's no longer possible to detect cheating based only on weapon footage. Including the equipment list screen footage helps prevent cheating.
Note: If you are not using Driftsmelt, a video showing your equipment list is mandatory. Even if you are using Driftsmelt, a video showing your equipment list is generally required, but if you forget to record the equipment list video, you can fill out the form and list your equipment and driftsmelt skills in the "Other Equipment Details" section, and it will be accepted as a valid hunt record.
Example for Other Equipment Details↓
G10-5Deviljho Long Sword/ Coral Pukei Head (Critical Eye & Attack Boost +4)/Garon Chest (Attack Boost & Attack +1)/Deviljho Arms (No Driftsmelt)/Deviljho Waist (No Driftsmelt)/Pink Rathian Legs (No Driftsmelt)
For discussions and opinions on the above recommendations, refer to the following X posts and their replies.

Example of a Video Following Recommendations
In the following example, the recording starts before the hunt begins, the clear time is displayed after the hunt is completed, and the entire equipment used is shown in one video. This meets all the above recommendations.
Other Recommended Points for Videos Proving the Hunt
The following points are not strongly recommended but are preferable if possible:
・Not Editing or Obscuring Any Part of the Video
Purpose: Obscuring parts of the video may conceal cheating behavior, making it difficult to determine if the video is legitimate. Unedited videos are preferable for judging the video's authenticity.
If the Video Proving the Hunt Violates the Recommended Points
For previously submitted hunt videos predating the guidelines(prev 2024/04/30), they will remain as-is, considering they were submitted before the guidelines were established and that even videos not following the recommended points can still serve as references for many users regarding playstyles and strategies.
However, for videos submitted after the guidelines(after 2024/05/01) are officially enforced, if they do not follow the recommended points, they may be disqualified from inclusion in the Hunt Record due to difficulty in verifying their authenticity.
If You Find an Illegitimate Video or a Video with Potential Illegitimacy
Please report the URL of the video in question using the following form:
https://forms.gle/pMr9b7z6HRFuzcDn8Regarding Past Records
If the links to past hunt videos are inaccessible or their content cannot be verified, the hunt record will be invalidated.
If you find an invalid video URL, please report it using the following form:
https://forms.gle/pMr9b7z6HRFuzcDn8Regarding Adjustments for Balance and Other Buffs or Nerfs
As a general principle, records published on the hunt records will not be reset even when the season changes.
However, this does not apply if changes equivalent to a nerf are made due to adjustments to weapons or other factors.
If nerfs make it difficult to update existing records in certain categories, those hunt records will not be updated, and the published records will no longer be useful for users.
This goes against the purpose of this site, which is "to widely share useful play records from beginners to experts for the benefit of many users." Therefore, for categories where nerfs significantly impact the ability to update records, all entries in the hunt records may be reset.
