There is an event quest in Monster Hunter World, available since March 9th: “A Simple Task”. This has puzzled the hunters, as it has surprisingly high requirements for a collecting quest. It was suspected that the Deviljho would come with this quest. The riddle is now solved.
Monster Hunter World features a rotation of various event quests that offer additional rewards and special challenges. The current rotation includes a quest that stirred up rumors – “A Simple Task”. Here, hunters must collect 10 gourmet mushrooms in the Ancient Forest.
Some hunters speculated that the Deviljho would appear as a surprise in this quest.
Because “A Simple Task” requires Hunter Rank 30 and is rated with a difficulty of 9 stars. The difficulty of a quest is measured in stars in Monster Hunter World, and star level 9 is currently the highest quest difficulty available.
The Deviljho is not behind the quest – it really is simple…
Thanks to the high requirements, hardly any hunter could imagine that this quest would really be “simple”. It would have made sense for the Deviljho to suddenly appear as a surprise and disrupt the collecting quest.
It was announced as the first DLC monster and is a brutal monster that would have fit as a late-game challenge. And if it weren’t for the Deviljho, one would have at least expected another difficult monster.
But “A Simple Task” actually is just a simple task! Hunters only need to collect the 10 gourmet mushrooms.
Why are the requirements so high now?
The quest requirements are only so high because there are a lot of tracks to collect for “tempered monsters”. These tracks are displayed in blue instead of green by the scout flies.
However, the tempered monsters belong to the endgame of Monster Hunter World, which explains why a hunter rank of 30 is required. So it really is a pure and simple collecting quest.
The current event quest rotation runs from March 9th to March 15th. What other events you can expect, see here: All event quests in March for Monster Hunter World at a glance
