So, picking up T1 tempered tracks during a T2 investigation gives T2 investigatons.
Don't know if this was commonly known, I did not and have been curious about this for a while, until I finally tested it last night.
What does this mean: if you're doing a T2 great hunt, in my case it was a tempered Odogaron + tempered Radobann 4 box investigation, pick up the T1 tempered monster's tracks too. They give T2 in investigations if you happen to pick them up during an actual T2 investigation.

You sure you just didn't get the investigation by picking up Odogaron tracks? Because I've gotten T1 investigations during a T2 investigation, to the point where I avoid all T1 tracks. Since I stopped picking up T1 tracks, I have yet to get any more T1 investigations. I've also noticed that if you are doing a T2 investigation with a T1 monster in it, you can receive T1 rewards, meaning you can get mysterious gems.
All in all, I would just recommend avoiding T1 investigations/monsters/tracks in general, unless you really need that 5* deco.
I'm 100% sure, as I picked up Radobaan tracks exclusively. Maybe it's random and you can get either a T1 or T2 investigation?
In turn, you CAN jump up from T1 to T2 if you lack T2 investigations. T1 tracks can give T2 multihunts with a T1 and a T2 monster. I farmed some Jyuro tracks when I started doing tempered and got a couple hunts like Pao+Legi and Barroth+Diablos.
Also means you get some more parts, multihuntes tend to have more boxes, and the monsters are exceedingly easy to kill due to the multihunt HP mod. I still pick T1s up occasionally for that reason. Hoping to get some T1+T2 multihunts for easy coastin'.
The problem with this is receiving T1 rewards in the boxes, which have an abysmal chance of dropping 7* gems and no chance of dropping 8*. Even though monsters are easier, you would be much better off doing hunts or great hunts with only T2 monsters to prevent wasted reward slots from happening.
