At what rank does the story in MHW end?

It's hard to give an exact time. It depends on how you progress through the game and complete various quests and missions.

The story of MHW ends when you complete the final main quest. But it kind of depends on your playstyle and how you progress through the game.

Well,'mhw' could stand for many things, like 'Monster Hunter World'. 'End of story' usually means the conclusion or the final part of a story. So perhaps it refers to the end of the story in Monster Hunter World.

In the context of the 'Monster Hunter' community, if'mhw' stands for 'Monster Hunter World', it could be a common phrase among players when referring to the end of the game's main story. But outside of that specific gaming community, it's probably not that common.

Well, 'guardian rank locked until end of story' simply implies that the guardian rank, whatever it represents in the context (could be a rank in a game, a story - based adventure, etc.), is fixed and cannot be modified until the story comes to an end. In a game, this could be to create a sense of progression. Players start with a certain rank and as they progress through the story, they can look forward to unlocking new possibilities related to the rank at the end. This also helps in guiding the player's experience in a more linear and structured way, preventing them from getting too powerful too early and ruining the story - driven aspect of the game.

Well, in mhw, scars might be seen as a sort of narrative device. If we think about it, a scar on a weapon could tell how many times it has been used in combat. And scars on a monster could tell about its past battles, whether it was attacked by other monsters or by hunters. So, basically, they hold a lot of information, like a storybook.

The MHW story's completion time can be quite different for each person. Generally, it takes at least 60 hours to complete the main storyline. But if you want to fully experience everything the game has to offer, it could easily exceed 100 hours.

It depends on your playstyle. If you're really into it and play consistently, it could take around 50-60 hours.

It could imply that the scars in MHW have significant backstories or represent important events.
