Sticking with the established mobile game rules, Monster Hunter Now has both common currency and premium currency. If you want to stay free-to-play, fortunately, you don’t have to deal with gacha pulling and statistics. Instead, you need to manage your items and know when you should use them.

Currency in Monster Hunter Now is split between Zenny (the common currency) and Gems (the premium currency). Zenny is used for your Weapon and Armor development. Gems can be used in the in-game shop to purchase items. However, Zenny cannot be used at all in the Shop.
This is the backbone of the equipment upgrade system. Both Weapons and Armor Sets need a certain amount of Zenny for forging, upgrading, and overgrading. You will receive Zenny after defeating Large Monsters, completing Daily Quests, and increasing your Hunter Rank.
Large Monsters give you 10 Zenny per star. For example, if you defeat a 2-Star Great Jagras, you’ll receive 20 Zenny as part of your rewards.
Completing your Daily Quests is the best way to ensure a steady flow of Zenny. Typically, Daily Quests will reward you 1,000 Zenny upon completion. With three quests per day, you can claim a total of 3,000 Zenny every day.
After reaching Hunter Rank (HR) 11, you will receive rewards at every 10 ranks (HR20, HR30, etc.). Each rank reward will give you 1,000 Zenny.
Gems are the game’s premium currency. So far, the game will reward you with 500 free Gems after reaching HR11. Right now, there are no other in-game rewards containing Gems. The only way to get more Gems is by buying them through the Shop.
