How to get Commendations in Monster Hunter Rise
Commendations (sometimes called Commendation Tickets) are represented as an icon resembling a yellow piece of paper. Commendations aren’t dropped by any particular type of monster. Instead, you have to hunt certain monsters within a few select Quests to get them. In-story, Commendations are awarded for acts of extreme bravery. To receive a Commendation, you need to complete a Quest with more than one monster and at least a 6 Star rating (for Village Quests) or a 3 Star rating (for Hub Quests). There’s also one Special License Quest (unrated) that can net you a Commendation.
Village Quests with Commendations:
Like a Flash of Lightning (hunt Mizutsune and Tobi-Kadachi) King of the Sky, Bane of the Land (hunt Rathalos and Tigrex) A Test of Courage (hunt Magnamalo and Zinogre)
Hub Quests with Commendations:
Beastly Chaos (hunt Goss Harag and Tigrex) Disastrously Beautiful (hunt Barroth, Magnamalo, and Tobi-Kadachi) Tail to Tail (hunt Almudron and Bishaten)
License Quests with Commendations:
Special License Test 3 (hunt Almudron, Rathalos, and Zinogre)

Where to get High Commendations in Monster Hunter Rise

At the time of writing, the Quests we know of that meet these conditions are:
Fought, Failed, Fired Up (hunt Anjanath and Diablos) A Frosty Stalemate (hunt Goss Harag and Tetranadon) Occupational Hazards (hunt Rajang and Zinogre) Omnidirectional Threats (hunt Khezu and Rakna-Kadaki) A Quartet of Horns (hunt two Diablos) Ruckus in the Ruins (hunt Almudron and Mizutsune) Seared Situation (hunt Magnamalo and Rathalos) A Whirlwind of a Stage (hunt all target monsters)
