Monster Hunter Wilds has an elaborate crafting system in place, and there are certain combinations that beginners should always have on their hotlist.
While you can produce many different items across multiple categories, some are more useful than others. Some are also pretty easy to produce, and you should always have them in your inventory. This guide will teach you some of the best recipes for beginners in Wilds.
Best Monster Hunter Wilds recipes for beginners
The list of recipes includes both food and non-food items. All of them have vital uses in different situations, so having them in your inventory is paramount.
| Recipe | Ingredients | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Potion/Mega Potion | Herb, Honey (only for Mega) | You’re going to bleed and take damage from the monsters you hunt, and you’ll want to recover health (your Palico can only do so much after all). Having Potions or Mega Potions is almost mandatory, especially if you’re a beginner. |
| Herbal Medicine | Antidote, Blue Mushroom | A lot of monsters not only chip away at your health, but they also apply negative status effects. Herbal Medicine is useful to cure yourself quickly in the heat of battle and last longer in the fight. |
| Demondrug | Catalyst, Might Seed | If you’re struggling to take down a specific monster, consuming Demondrug can be extremely beneficial. It provides a temporary boost to your attack power and boosts a lot of substats. |
| Adamant Pill | Immunizer, Adamant Seed | This item increases survivability as it hardens your skin temporarily, and helps you survive a battle for a longer time. |
| Net | Ivy, Spider Web | You can’t slaughter every monster you come across, and some of the smaller ones are more valuable when caught alive. You’ll always want a net ready to go. |
| Smokebomb | Smokenut, Ivy | This is an extremely underrated item that helps you escape a strong monster by creating a large smokescreen. |
| Meat | Airy Egg, Monster Chilli | This meal is easy to make but increases your damage output while the bonus is active. |
| Fish | A very underrated meal that doesn’t offer you in fights, but the bonuses make exploration a lot easier. You can also combine it with Truffle Du Conga’s bonuses to make gathering more rewarding. | |
| Shock Trap | Trap Fool, Thunderbug Capacitor | One of the best traps to use on monsters as its effects can slow down the creature, allowing you to land some mighty combos with your weapons. |
| Energy Drink | Nitroshroom, Honey | Energy Drink allows you to remove Sleep and increases the available Stamina. |
Ultimately, a lot of these recipes are basic in nature. However, that doesn’t reduce their usefulness inside the game, and you should always stack as many of them as possible. Make sure to check this list for the full set of all item recipes available in Monster Hunter Wilds.
