One would think the story of Monster Hunter World is as big as the monsters in the game, and that is right because there are many quests to tackle in this entry. While you can stick to them to reach the endgame as fast as possible, we recommend taking your time. There are plenty of activities to do before heading to Iceborne. Yet, we understand the excitement of facing Master Rank Hunts or unlocking things such as Layered Armor; if that’s the case, knowing how many missions are in the game doesn’t hurt.
How Many Story Quests are in Monster Hunter World? – Answered
MHW has several story quests, and it’ll take you around 30 to 40 hours to complete the base game.

And, without further ado, here are all the main quests in the game:
