ORIGINAL ARTICLE
A wise person once said, 'Haste makes waste.'
That is, unless you've played the Japanese version of the latest Monster Hunter game to death like I did and now need to blaze through your village/caravan and gathering hall quests to reach the endgame quickly in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Maybe it's your first crack at the latest game in the series but you still want to progress in a jiffy.
Then it becomes 'He who strikes first, wins.' Just ask Charlie 'Tigrex Blood' Sheen.
For newcomers to the game, you don't have to finish every quest to unlock the next rank or batch of missions in Monster Hunter. Instead, you can finish what are called 'key quests' to unlock the next set of missions right away.
If you're in a rush to get to 10-star village/caravan quests or those tougher Gathering Hall missions to be able to craft better gear, here's a list of key quests to speed up your progress.

CARAVAN AND VILLAGE QUESTS
These refer to the campaign mode of the game, which progresses the story. Monsters are not quite as tough as they are in online/multiplayer mode but you have to solo them.
LOW RANK
1-star
Steak Your Ground
Deliver 1 Well-done Steak or Rare Steak
A Winning Combination
Deliver 1 Mega Potion
Subquest: Slay 3 Jaggi
— Pretty basic stuff. Just talk to your caravan leader, the hat maniac to unlock. No, your goofy little hat ain't worth risking my life by jumping onto a Dah'ren Mohran. But, hey, I'll do it anyway.
2-star
Ancestral Steppe Fungus Run
Deliver 5 Unique Mushrooms
Sub: Deliver 1 Choice Mushroom
Den Mothers
Slay 5 Jaggia
Kelbi Cure-All
Deliver 3 Kelbi Horns
Sub: Slay 8 Kelbi
— These quests are unlocked once you finish 'A Winning Combination.'
Chip Off the Old Blockade
Slay 8 Konchu
— Unlocked by finishing any of the quests mentioned above.
The Stinking Seltas
Hunt a Seltas
Sub: Break the Seltas's horn
— Unlocked by finishing 'Chip Off the Old Blockade.' Finishing this mission upgrades your grain/bread and vegetable ingredients at the canteen. For the full scoop, check out my MH4U Canteen Food Ingredients Upgrade Guide. It also unlocks expeditions, which lets you do free hunts in the Everwood. To progress further, you'll need to do two expeditions: Kill Velocidrome and Kill Yian Kut Ku. These unlock:
Urgent Quest: Swing Into Action
Hunt a Kecha Wacha
Sub: Topple monster while mounted
— Finish this 3-star quest and you unlock the 3-star caravan/village quests.
3-star
Boulder-bash
Hunt a Tetsucabra

Before going further, I also noticed one more urgent pop up while I was doing 3-star quests. I believe this appeared after I finished 'Kecha Wacha Wallop,' which is not considered a key quest.
Urgent: Research Basarios
Hunt a Basarios
Sub: Topple monster while mounted
— Makes Basarios show up in the Everwood.
4-star
Pink Stink
Hunt a Congalala
Sub: Wound the Congalala's comb
— Maybe I was just sleep-deprived, but I could've sworn this was called 'Wild Palico Panic' when I first tried it. Anyway, now it says 'Pink Stink' in my mission board so 'Pink Stink' it is.
An Ice Surprise
Hunt a Zamtrios
Sub: Wound the Zamtrios's top fin
— I could've sworn this one was named 'Meownster Hunt Havoc' the first time I did it, too. Seriously, I think I'm losing my mind. Maybe I already did.
Najarala Hunt
Hunt a Najarala
Sub: Wound the Najarala's back
— Take down this snake in the grass and you'll get an emergency Gore Magala expedition if I remember correctly. Repel that sucker and you should unlock:
Urgent: Tipping the Scales
Hunt Gore Magala
Sub: Wound Gore Magala's feelers
— Gore! Gore! Gore! With apologies to JR's Barbecue Sauce. Bring down the flagship monster and say hello to 5-star quests.
5-star
Major Miner Problem
Hunt a Gravios
Sub: Wound the Gravios' chest
— Hello, big guy. Just bring him down, baby
Advanced: Odd Ape Out
Hunt a Congalala
Sub: Break the Congalala's claw
— I was reading a Japanese forum once and some dude didn't even mention him by name and just said 'that filthy ape.' I don't know why but that made me laugh. Yes, I'm easy to please.

Take a Powderstone
Deliver 1 Powderstone
Sub: Hunt an Iodrome
Either of the previous missions will unlock:
In the Pink
Hunt a Pink Rathian
Sub: Wound the Pink Rathian's head
— One of my favorite monsters to hunt. I personally find her more challenging than Azure Rathalos. Whatever you do, stay away from her left cheek… Take her down and you get:
Ladykiller
Hunt a Seltas Queen
Sub: Wound the Seltas Queen's head
— Lets… volt… in! I still remember the first time my cousins saw the docking manuever while playing the Japanese version of the game. 'Wait, did they just combine? That's awesome!' Finishing this also unlocks the Wyceum research center, which will be key later when fighting frenzied and extreme monsters, especially those that make your weapons and bullets bounce.
Nocturnal Commission
Capture a Rathian
— This unlocks a pretty cool cut scene, plus your next urgent.
Urgent: Dance of a Thousand Blades
Hunt a Seregios
Sub: Topple monster while mounted
— Say hello to the flagship monster of Monster Hunter 4G. This, by the way, provides the earliest opportunity to craft those Seregios weapons, which was quite helpful when I started doing Guild Hall quests.

Urgent: Kushala Kushowdown
Hunt a Rusted Kushala Daora
— This a siege-style battle in Dundorma with your NPC allies. Finish it and you level up your Wystone and unlock 10-star quests, which are the final batch of hunts for offline mode. Enjoy!
GATHERING HALL QUESTS
Say hello to the multiplayer part of MH4U. Yes, you can still solo missions if you want but keep in mind that the monsters will be tougher. For the bulk of these, I basically formed a two-man party with my cousin, which provides just the right balance difficulty-wise. Plus we only had to do the urgents twice as opposed to three or four times with a bigger team. Then again, feel free to do whatever works for you.

While I've sunk in a ton of time in the Japanese version of the game, I haven't gone through all the G-rank quests in the Western version so I don't know the English names of all the stuff yet. For such quests, I will name the monsters you need to hunt as part of G-rank key quests. I'm adding subquests, too, in case there are non-key quests that feature the same monster. I will update this section as I verify information in my U.S. copy:
