Yes, egg deliveries are awful and everyone hates them. Yes there are more. Just wait till you are

wow it took us quite a while to take down Gravios. The guy can take some beating
There's a few, but they're all really easy in this game.

The blue sharpness gives it a 1.25 multiplier to its base damage as opposed to green shaprness 1.13
That makes it better and easier to get than most weapons with the same raw and some elemental.
I only count 5, and most of them don't appear to be key quests. I suspect they exist mostly to help players learn the routes on the map better, though chugging a Mega Dash Juice helps make them a lot less tedious.

The 5 star village quests has the hardest egg carry quest in the series if you ask me
frenzied rathalos + frenzied rathian
deliver 3 eggs
Boulders block the quick route every delivery
And it is on heavens mout so if you dont eat for felyne lander you're screwed since getting hit while climbing down vines is very likely.

That's still nothing compared to the first gen egg quests. Fuck those stupid homing prey.
Yeah, At some point you need to hit them to break him out of it.

Just beat Gore Magala and what a really fun, difficult fight. When it's enraged it's blast does so much damage. I'm still trying to figure out how frenzy virus works, it almost completely wrecked me.
They're a tradition. Make a set of carry armor, some dash juice, and eat for lander.
Oh god those were rage inducing

Egg quests are fun, I hated the damn powder stone run cause no matter what the damn thing always exploded.

I figured out pretty quick to make the Loc Lac armor to do egg quests (Which of course NEEDED EGG QUESTS WTF) and to pack dash juices. I haven't had much problem with them so far.
Except for fucking konchu flying off the side of the cliff and beaning me in the back of the head as I'm exiting the area.

I'm about to do a ton of grinding online.
First hunting High Rank G. Jaggi for some parts, then Pink Rathian to make her set. If anyone wants to joint let me know.

Thank you.
Well, it's not that they're hard, it was just tedious as a new player. Didn't know what the mobs looked like so I had to go to every area to look. Unfortunately the one they were in(which admittedly did give a cutscene) happened to be one of the last I checked. Then it decides to spawn a group of Jaggi's in the area you go through which you can't clear out before picking up the egg because they don't spawn till then. I stupidly took the pet which was a mistake because as soon as I attack one of them, he decides to go running and attacking the other bird, alerting it. That wouldn't be too much of an issue, but, the bird wouldn't always drop an egg despite it seemingly not being aware of your presence(maybe it is aware and hasn't turned around, I'm not sure), and sometimes it would drop golden ones when you needed normals. Plus once you've got one normal egg done, it blocks paths and moves them to force you to go a longer route.
To top it all off, I ended up failing because I had a few mins left after all the faffing, decided to run but my stamina wasn't great as I'd ran out of rations at that point(I hadn't needed any in the previous missions so didn't have a massive amount), ran out of stamina literally five steps before the hand in box, and running out of stamina seems to break it for what ever reason.... Safe to say I wasn't particularly happy after that, lol.
It'll probably be easy if I try it again since I know where they all are, not to take the damn cat, and what not to do if I don't want to break it. But, as a first experience it just wasn't pleasant at all.
Good to know there isn't many, though I have no doubt even other ones shouldn't be quite as arduous as this one was, considering most of my problems were just due to lack of knowledge.Fair enough, thanks for the tips.

It is over priced because physical stock of the game is pretty hard to find in a lot of areas.
Sales seem to be good when compared to production, there is a good chance it was under produced though.

Just boost stamina a shitload and don't go below 1/3 stamina. Egga seem to break when stamina runs out.
They're overrated difficulty wise if you're a bit prepared
The discount came from when Walmart screwed up and put a bunch of games at lower prices including MH4. Amazon price matched it at one point so that's where you got the preorder price guaranteed.

Just started playing yesterday. The first thing I noticed is that the game is way jaggier when I turn on 3D. Is AA disable when playing in 3D or something?
I has always been Hammer/Bow in the past MH so I decided to go for lance this time. I looked up how to play lance from Gaijinhunter and got blown away at how fun it looks. I mean, lancer can jump?? lol

the future egg quests in single player don;t rely on random drops like that one does. After this you'll just need to grab egss from a nest and take them back to camp.
I can;t stree this enough: Buy the info books from the shop! They give you a picture along with the monsters name so you'll never be wondering what the thing you're supposed to find is.
Yup and they can mount a monster using that jump
Ah, is that how you populated the monster list then? I was wondering why it didn't auto populate lol. Serves me right for not checking the shop in depth I guess.

Lance is SO fun, but don't expect no record breaking kill times. Damage is relatively low, but you SHINE on your survivability.
Question - how on earth do I reliably mount a monster? I've been trying to do it with Switch Axe, so I don't have a ground jump ability.

I got double carted on that one because of that bubble beam move he has. That thing 1 shot me if it touched me.
Crabwalking into everything and swiping me with his claw was super annoying when I first fought him. I can't even tell who he's targeting half the time!
yeah, that got me too. it's crazy that he can move while doing that.

lol mega dash juice or go home.
When you're not on a quest, hitting start allows you to rearrange all the tiles at the bottom of the screen. There should be ones for coating management and so on.
Ahh thank you. That is much better!
unfortunately for all weapons except Insect glaive and lance you have to rely on the terrain ledges, so it becomes kind of a opportunity when you happen to find the monster near a ledge, then in that moment you can try an aerial attack
Not entirely sure, but they do have a way to mass cook them.
is in fact the opposite for this game, you have to get out to get some raw meat, but you can mass cook them (10 between each quest by talking to the street cooker)...
personally prefer this since I lost so much time cooking those steaks in MH3U, in this at least I only have to get the carve
speaking of shortcuts, is there a way to "bookmark" certain items within the combo tab? it's pretty annoying to browse the whole list to get to the things i need.
That's really for later, you should be able to just do the first one no problem. Dash juice at most.
Some of these quests were really bad in the original series.
if you press X while in the combo list area, the possible combos from the items you currently have in your pouch will show first
EDIT: it MIGHT work on the touchscreen too, but I don't really know
