User blog comment:Cottonmouth255/Discussion of the Week: Egg Quests/@comment-5178018-20140325202355

These quests have always been a nice touch to Monster Hunter. In that, rather than gathering mushrooms or antlers, killing hords of small fry monster, or even the large and more awarding monsters, you actually have to secure an objective and protect it all the way to the base. It's a good break from the other things, and definitely has an appeal for a fun and simple things to do, even stepping up the challenge sometimes.

Examples of challenges; Doing the quest without any Food Buffs or Food Skills. Bringing no items. Limiting armour skills (Not using Pro Transporter or any form of Earplugs). 1st grade Rust Weapons (That Rathian won't be a removable factor now). Or if you're feeling hardcore, all of the above with both effects of Unlucky Cat.
