Silver and gold crowns are markers for a monster’s size. Especially large and small monsters are marked with these crowns in the compendium, which has been a stable in the series for a very long time. It doesn’t give you anything except an achievement, but it’s also much easier to do in Wilds. Previously, you learned a monster’s size after you hunt it. In Wilds you have binoculars that reveal this information beforehand, so you can just quickly check every monster in the area.


I don’t expect to actually finish the crowns, to be honest. I still have other grinding to do and resetting the world for crowns is a good excuse to get a Lagiacrus with a guaranteed Sapphire drop to spawn.
