MHO daily tasks: priorities, resets and Marathon Hunt

What should you do first each day?

Open the mission, event and inventory screens before choosing a hunt. The useful question is which reward or material you would otherwise lose—not whether every menu has a red dot. There is no fixed completion time here: story progress, queue time and equipment change how much you can finish.

Situation	First action	Why
Mail or an event reward is about to expire	Claim it and check any separate event shop	Earning points and spending them can have different deadlines
Daily objectives overlap with a material you need	Choose that hunt	One run can advance both goals
Energy is near its cap	Spend it on your current team’s materials	Avoid paying for another refill while stored energy is unused
Only a few minutes remain	Claim completed mission and pass milestones	A completed task is not always an automatically claimed reward

At launch the daily mission reward track reaches its final milestone at 120 points. Read the milestone in your client if it changes. The event calendar separates permanent rewards from rotating hunts.

When do tasks reset?

The Japanese launch schedule lists daily resets at 05:00 JST, weekly resets on Monday at 05:00 JST, and monthly shop limits on the first day at 05:00 JST. This is not a universal clock for every edition. Use your server’s countdown before planning a final run or purchase.

Keep task resets separate from event end times and individual ticket refreshes. For weekly tasks, follow the progress bar shown in your client: conflicting launch totals are not a reliable reason to stop early. Spend expiring weekly opportunities first, but do not empty a shop simply because its stock is resetting.

Where does Marathon Hunt fit?

After its story unlock, Marathon Hunt is a seven-minute continuous hunt with up to three daily Zenny chests. Check today’s remaining reward claims before repeating it for currency. If matching fills your group with AI, you control your selected main adventurer rather than freely rotating a full personal squad. Set that character and weapon before entering.

Use the first run to learn the target sequence and your team’s survival needs. A failed run and a run completed after exhausting daily reward claims are different problems; check the reward screen before changing your build. Story unlocks are summarized in the chapter guide.

How should weekly tasks and spending fit together?

Review weekly missions, arena opportunities, expedition progress and the season pass together. Advance the expedition as far as your team can manage before deciding when to use a reset resource. A reset ticket and an entry ticket need separate counts; do not assume every counter refreshes on Monday.

For energy refills, compare the exact Rutacoin cost with the material you can earn and your recruitment budget. “One more run” is useful only if it advances a specific upgrade. See the Rutacoin budget guide before spending saved currency.

What if a daily objective will not progress?

Read the character, mode and target conditions again. Having a required character in the squad may not satisfy a requirement to use that character as main. Paolumu research and some weapon follow-ups also received fixes in the November 6 update; update and retry before assuming the objective is impossible.
