How much can rampage quests be ignored?

[Zero Hour 17]

Didn't get the game when it came out because I was still burnt out from my combined 1000 hours on world between PS4 and PC.

Finally ready for a hunting game again and with Wild Hearts running like complete trash I'm here.

From the start though I've thought Rampage quests look like trash. I just want to fight a monster with my weapon, no extra ♥♥♥♥. Hated the parts in world that added extra steps like the Zorah Magdaros fights. So how prevalent are these and are they the main source of end game gear and challenge even in Sunbreak? If yes, I'll pass.

I haven't made it to Sunbreak yet so I can't confirm this but I've heard Sunbreak doesn't have any rampages. Hopefully someone who has more hours than me will come confirm or deny that.

The game does require you to do them occasionally to increase your HR but other than that you can ignore them completely.

Here's a good guide on how to deal with them solo: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2735408649

From what I can remember, only 2 required ones during the story line, Azuros and Ibushi
For the Apex monsters, at least 1 each, then their quests unlock outside rampage.
Iirc, Ibushi has an event quest outside the rampages, but that might be just MR.

Capcom understood how bad rampage went and ignored it with Sunbreack completely. Even before Sunbreack I ignored it mostly, it just wasn't fun, and not worth the hassel for min-maxing.

There are like 2 or 3 rampages you have to do to finish story of base game. After that you don't have to do them at all, as they offer nothing that is in any way useful in Sunbreak.

There are no other quests that aren't just normal hunts or fights with boss in an arena.

Well, other than doing the Apex Rampages once, yes, they will do nothing in Sunbreak. (Only certain Apexes appear in Master Rank unless they updated this in TU4 here or in the upcoming TU5)
Apex Rathalos is the only one I recommend doing it once and just doing the regular quest afterwards

me and my friend 100% the hub quests and we were required to do a few for our High rank 7 check to stop being blue. Not counting the story ones... We had to do apex mitz, raith, rathalos, ziorge, diablos I think, to unlock the normal rank 7 fights for them.

Apex ziorge rampage might be one of the least fun experiences i've had in rise.

The furious rajang rampage was just silly, hyper beams everywhere

Ramps could have been fun, But the turrets are done so poorly, we usually abandon them. Then the apex shows up and says "I don't care how well you did, instant wipe everything.". Riding vs boss and splitting are the star of the show damage wise.
