My palico is stuck at level 20, and the level indicator is orange. How do I increase the level cap?

You can first increase the level cap to 35 from 20 by either:
- Clear "The Grandmeowster's Trials" (Guild 4★, Prowler-only)
- Get to HR 6. (Clear your 5★ -> 6★ urgent)
You can then increase the level cap to 50 by either:
- Clear "Meownster Hunter" (Guild 7★, Prowler-only)
- Clear "The Ball's in Your Court" (Guild 7★, Prowler-only) first to unlock this quest
- Get to HR 30.
