Banbaro and Radobaan will soon get a special boost rate.

Hunters will need to be at least HR 11 to encounter both Banbaro & Radobaan. This means most players will be able to farm these monsters with just a few hours of playtime. Of course, you may want to get yourself an Ice and Fire weapon to maximize your damage.
