Idea: Fanon Quest Types

Since this is a Monster Hunter Fanon site, I'm surprised nobody has yet come up with this. New Fanon Quest Types. I have tried to explain them in detail so please, try to see what I am imagining with these.

## Protection Quest

You all who have played 3U may remember the one time only quest where you had to defend Cha-Cha from a pack of Jaggis. It was simple and didn't last long. But what if there was a quest type based around this?

A Protection Quest is where hunters must defend another monster from being injured or slain by another monster that most of the time is more dangerous than it. This could range from stopping a herd of Aptonoth's belonging to an unfortunate farmer being beset upon by a pack of Velociprey, or up to defending a domesticated Duramboros from a Deviljho hungry enough to take on the challenge.

A unique trait of this quest type is that the protected monsters will have life bars above them to tell how much health they have left. This is to prevent players becoming frightened due to getting a warning about a protected monster being near death, and not knowing which one it is.

What these quests would involve is the hunter must keep the dangerous monster away from the monsters that need protecting. Should the protected monster be killed, the quest will fail. Sometimes in certain cases, the monster must not lose health beyond a certain threshold, or even none at all. In order to win, hunters must keep the monster safe for the entire time limit, which is usually 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes. Sometimes, hunters must keep a monster safe until it manages to escape from the area, occasionally they have to be helped to reach an exit before it is blocked off. Should hunters hold off the attackers for that time, they will turn away from the protected monsters and flee as if they were repelled like an Elder Dragon. Hunters can also win by slaying all the attacking monsters if they are small, which they come in waves, and hunting the monster if its large.

## Breaking Quest

In Monster Hunter Generations there were certain Prowler quests where you had to break a certain monster part to complete the quest. Well, it can work for hunter quests too!

The task is simple, wound the target monster's specified part and the quest is completed! But, it isn't that easy all the time. There are times when the hunter must wound several parts of the monster, even all of them if required. And there may be times where hunters cannot break a specific part in the process or they fail, known as forbidden parts.

## Sudden Attack Quest

What sets this apart from normal repel quests is that this can randomly happen during moving to different village/hub zones, mainly through NPC interaction, but rarely by fast travel. Inspired from the one time only event Gore Magala attack in the Great Sea in MH4U, this quest would show the airship/dragonship/hunter as an icon suddenly stopped as a monster head icon covers it. Should the monster be of high threat level, then the DANGER sign appears.

The scene then shows the monster approaching the ship/hunter at high speed and if its a ship then will land on it with their own unique animation, and then roar.

Sometimes, there may be a second monster who will also appear with the main monster in the attack, or a monster with a pack behind it.

The hunter will then be spawned in accordance with the location they are there in, be it by themselves or on a ship. They will have either 15 or 25 minutes to defend against the monsters, which at the end of the time limit will be repelled should they have lost at least 20% off their health. They can also be slain however, giving bonus rewards at the end of the quest if hunters manage it.

The monsters that can appear are ones hunters have usually encountered before in their careers. But they can even appear if the hunter only has the Monster Info on it, or even just encountered it as an unstable environment monster. All kinds of monsters can appear in these quests except for a few exceptions, like Solstice monsters and monsters restricted to just one area that the ship will always avoid, like the Fanon Dasamios and the World's Ravine. It is possible for an Elder Dragon the hunter repelled earlier to appear in a quest seeking revenge. Should the ship sail across either the Great Sea or Desert, they risk the chance of running into a Mohran, Ceadeus or in Fanon monsters, Wiyska. Those monsters will usually be repelled with enough damage under the time limit, but under circumstances of exceptionally high damage being done to them, they can be slain, falling next to the ship so they can be carved, granting high rewards afterwards. In extremely rare cases if the travel is by ship, it might fly/swim into the space of an area belonging to a powerful Elder Dragon, like Shantien in the skies and maybe even Disufiora if a bad enough route leads it over the World's End.

This quest will happen on occasion, but can be made more common by paying a fee to make the ship travel through a more dangerous path, or flat out hazardous part. Paying one of these options increases the chance of a more dangerous monster appearing in a quest.

Should a hunter abandon or fail one of these quests they won't be able to travel to that location for a set number of time. The time ranges from 1 to 5 days.

### Sudden Attack Quest Pop-Ups

#### New Area Travel Selections

* *Go in unstable shortcut* (First new option to increase travel speed but increases chance of quest occurring)
* *Go a dangerous route* (Option increasing chance of quest occurring with a strong monster)
* *Go a hazardous route* (Option greatly increasing chance of quest occurring with a strong monster)
* *Go in restricted route* (Unlocked with a high enough Hunter Rank, this almost guarantees a quest happening, and increases chance of monster being an Elder Dragon)
* *Go to location by any means necessary* (Unlocked with a high enough Hunter Rank, allows the hunter to actually move the ship or themselves to the location and even intercept a monster by themselves, although sudden attacks can still occur)
* *Go in a boundless route* (Unlocked in G-rank, allows the ship to be unrestricted in movement, and can take risky turns into extremely hostile lands if needed to, certain quest occurrence and allows hunters to rarely encounter exceptionally powerful monsters)
* *Go through the max danger route* (Unlocked in G-rank special, allows hunters to go through a route that is confirmed to have a max danger level monster in it, with the travel route usually going haywire due to weather conditions created by said max danger monster and guarantees a strong monster will attack as a quest occurrence. Gives the highest chance to run into a powerful Elder Dragon/monster, although the route must reach closest to the strongest part of the weather by luck. This option only appears when such a monster appears to block said route)

## Perfection Quest

This one was actually created by BannedLagiacrus over in his OldFanon FanGame.

These quests have hunters do quests with particular objectives that need to be done to complete it like only hitting a certain part of the monster. Although the reward for these quests don't lower with carts, there is a catch. Every time hunters fail to do an objective the reward will slowly decrease and if the reward hits zero, hunters instantly fail the quests.

## Defence Quest

An Idea inspired from the "Operation" quests in MH4U's Battlequarters. Like the Sudden Attack Quests, random monsters of any type will spawn in the area which you must defend from them. The difficulty in these quests depend on what monsters appear, sometimes the forts defence is of no concern (Blobdrome, Avian Dromes, Small Monsters), and others its a full emergency to defend its fall (Elder Dragons, Deviants, etc).

The difficulty can also be determined by the area which you must defend. Places like the Defiant Stronghold are near invulnerable to any common monster attacks, the Fortress defending what it protects along with the Battlequarters is also well protected. However, its not always that easy. The hunter may be defending places out in the open, like a object of importance from monster attacks, which have little to no weaponry to defend them with. Hunters may also have to defend a place like an "Ancient Wall" or "Crumbling Towers" from attack, which can have weapons, but they can damage the place just like the monster can from using them, and their defences can easily break without maximum care.

## Assistance Quest

These quests fall into the Gathering quests category, not all quests can be fun!

What are these? Well... they are assisting the people of the Monster Hunter world at their jobs! An example would be: "A storm in the Verdant Hills created landslides that block off key paths, so you must go and destroy all the rocks in the location." But, its not all bad however. Completing one of these quests can grant temporary bonuses when in that area in other hunts, like additional items and immediate supplies. Some quests are more ecological, like giving meat or plants to some small monsters (might even be large), planting trees to repair damaged ones to maintain environments, leaving monster eggs in locations to repopulate areas (aka, the opposite of the infamous delivery quests), repairing damaged parts of a fort, and giving Felvine to the Melynx to stop them stealing things.

Another thing that occurs is that these quests are normally aren't stable in environments, meaning you can still hunt the big monsters on occasion. But they can make the quests sometimes a living hell, you could be rebuilding a ballista wall in a fort when a Brachydios comes out of nowhere and destroys it with a tail spin chained from its 4th Gen running move, forcing you to rebuild it all over again!

## Extermination Quests

Now we move into more challenging and lengthy material!

In slaying quests you are given the task of slaying a number of monsters and the quest is complete. But in Extermination Quests... you are tasked with slaying all monsters of a targeted species in the location, all of them. They may also request you with the gruelling task of slaying, every, single, monster, in the location! Not one survivor left, everything. An example is that a massive Frenzy Virus outbreak happened, and the decision was made for every monster in the affected zone to be slain.

The quest will give you the species that must be wiped out from the location, and gives a percentage at how many are left, with quest completion obviously at 0%. Extermination Quests require knowledge of the location, as some of the small monsters could be hard to find at the final ones left. Another big thing, is the unstable environment monsters. Normally if a unstable monster appears, you could ignore it and continue on with the quest. But with Total Extermination Quests, whatever appears as an unstable monster must also be hunted too! So hunters have to pray that an unstable monster other than a drome tier doesn't appear, two unstable monsters appear, and definitely not a Hyper and certainly not an Apex, or they will be in a world of pain!
