markdown # 10 Essential Crafting Items in Monster Hunter Wilds

A fundamental element in Monster Hunter Wilds involves tracking down massive beasts and vanquishing them. Upon the monster’s demise and the successful completion of the hunt, gamers may harvest the defeated creature to acquire parts, which are then utilized for crafting new armor and weapons. However, it’s worth noting that Monster Hunter Wilds incorporates another intricate crafting system, enabling players to manufacture a variety of items. Although these items do not hold the same weight as armor or weapons in terms of impact, the items created offer significant advantages during hunts. The creation of these items necessitates materials, but these are seldom found on monsters. Instead, players must search for ingredients to craft these items, some of which can have a profound effect on the hunt’s outcome.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you’ll come across a variety of crafting recipes as you advance. It’s recommended to perform crafting tasks within your tent, since this is where you have access to your pouch and crate inventory. We’ve compiled ten exceptional items you can create in Monster Hunter Wilds, along with the instructions for making them, which are provided below.

Mega Potions

Potion + Honey

As a devoted fan, I can’t stress enough the significance of healing in Monster Hunter World, with Mega Potions being one of my go-to methods for recovery. While your Palico companions offer valuable healing support, nothing beats having the ability to craft and use potions on the fly when needed most. It’s always a good idea to stock up on these before embarking on a hunt, as they can prove invaluable during intense battles. To craft Mega Potions, you’ll need both Potions and Honey. The Potions themselves are made from Herbs, which can be found by foraging at beehives. Having a good supply of Mega Potions is absolutely crucial, especially as you progress deeper into the game where monsters can deal devastating blows.

Herbal Medicine

Antidote + Blue Mushrooms

In Monster Hunter Wilds, poison is a harmful status that weakens you over time due to the continuous damage it inflicts. Although death from poison isn’t immediate, some monsters strike you with powerful attacks that can poison you, potentially leaving you close to death. The minor damage you receive over time might ultimately lead to your demise. Herbal Medicine serves a dual purpose: it cures the poisoned status and also restores some of your health. This not only saves you from sustained damage but also provides a small boost before you can use a Potion. Herbal Medicine is prepared by blending an Antidote with a Blue Mushroom. To make an Antidote, you’ll need Antidote Herbs, which can be found while foraging alongside Blue Mushrooms.

Energy Drink

Nitroshroom + Honey

One excellent choice among items is the Energy Drink, particularly beneficial for weapons that rely on endurance like Bows and Dual Blades. Sipping an Energy Drink increases your stamina and also cures the sleep status affliction. Both these attributes are advantageous to the Bow and Dual Blades, but every hunter can benefit from this invigorating potion. Without sufficient stamina, you’ll struggle with proper attacks and dodging. You can prepare an Energy Drink using Nitroshrooms and Honey, both of which can be found in the wild. Keeping a stash of these on hand is always beneficial, as some monsters can drain your stamina rapidly.

Catalyst

Bitterbug Broth + Honey

A catalyst isn’t active by itself, but it serves as a crucial ingredient in crafting. By mixing it with various components, you can concoct potent potions or enhance effects within diverse recipes. Recipes such as Armorskin and Demondrug incorporate catalysts. To acquire catalysts, you must engage in the process of crafting, which involves preparing Bitterbug Broth by gathering Bitterbugs from nature and obtaining Honey from hives. As you advance and uncover new recipes, catalysts become increasingly valuable, so it’s beneficial to stockpile a few for future use.

Armorskin

Catalyst + Adamant Seed

In Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s a variety of powerful monsters, and they can unleash potent attacks. Although the armor you make from defeated monsters offers some protection, having additional defense never hurts. Armorskin is a useful potion that momentarily enhances your hunter’s defense, making incoming attacks cause less harm. Combining this with armor that has appropriate resistances can significantly minimize certain monster attacks. To create Armorskin, you need to mix a Catalyst and an Adamant Seed together. Catalysts are items that you craft yourself, while Adamant Seeds are materials you find by foraging. Even though Armorskin lessens the damage you take, remember to use healing items when your health is running low.

Flash Pods

Flashbug Phosphor

In the thrilling world of Monster Hunter Wilds, I’ve found that Flash Pods are an invaluable asset to any gamer’s arsenal. Landing a hit on a beast with one of these can momentarily disorient it, making it easier for me to launch a successful assault without fear of retaliation. The staggered blindness effect is particularly useful as it gives me the upper hand during combat. It’s essential to remember that not all monsters can be affected by Flash Pods, but they prove mighty against many foes. To create these handy items, you’ll need to track down Flashbugs and gather their Flashbug Phosphor. This can be accomplished using the Hook Slinger or Capture Net, both of which will reward you with the necessary material.

Bombs

Small Barrel/Large Barrel + Material/Material + Material

In Monster Hunter Wilds, a variety of bomb types are available, and these can significantly aid in hunting monsters. Among the most frequently used are explosive bombs. These bombs can be created using different barrel sizes like Big and Small Barrels. You can acquire both Big and Small Barrels from various Provisions Stockpile merchants. Once you’ve acquired your barrels, you can start making bombs. The Large Barrel produces more powerful explosives but comes at a higher price.

Other forms of Bombs include status-altering types like Smoke or Poison Smoke Bombs. Unlike traditional recipes using barrels, these require distinct ingredients such as a type of nut, like the Smokenut, and another material to create. Although they won’t inflict as much direct damage as explosive bombs, their effects can be invaluable during hunting expeditions.

Shock Trap

Trap Tool + Thunderbug Capacitor

In Monster Hunter Wilds, traps serve as powerful assets. Primarily, they are used to render monsters immobile for capture, but they can also be employed tactically to momentarily stun monsters, allowing you to reposition or heal. Shock Traps, in particular, cause temporary paralysis in any monster that touches them. Placing a trap effectively can be tricky, but with precise timing and strategy, you can entice a monster into it, leaving it vulnerable for direct assaults. Pitfall Traps are another possibility, yet Shock Traps generally prove more effective. To create these traps, you’ll require a Trap Tool, purchasable at the Provisions Stockpile, and a Thunderbug Capacitor, which can be gathered from Thunderbugs found in the wild.

Ammo

Normal Ammo + Material

In Monster Hunter Wilds, only those wielding the Light or Heavy Bowgun have use for ammunition. Unlike the self-generated Coatings for Bows, ammo requires manual crafting. This may seem inconvenient as it necessitates gathering resources, but the advantage lies in the versatility it offers during a hunt. Basic ammo can be bought at the Provisions Stockpile, which can then be customized with various ingredients and materials to yield different effects. The majority of ammunition types are clearly displayed in the crafting menu, enabling you to identify exactly what resources you need for each type.

Demon Powder

Godbug Essence + Might Seed

In the game “Monster Hunter Wilds”, the monsters possess extensive health and there’s a deadline for finishing each hunt. Consequently, inflicting damage on weak points and dealing as much harm as possible is essential to defeating these creatures. Demon Powder generates an area that amplifies the raw attack strength of any player standing within it, making it ideal for both solo play and group sessions. This effect endures for a considerable period, and usually just one Demon Powder is enough to bring down a monster effectively. The ingredients needed to concoct Demon Powder include Godbug Essence, obtained from Godbugs, and Might Seeds, found in the wilderness.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, there are a multitude of game-changing items I’ve discovered, but let me share some lesser-known ones that serve unique purposes. For instance, when venturing into harsh climates, don’t forget the importance of Hot and Cold Drinks. When it comes to capturing monsters, you’ll find an array of useful items in Monster Hunter Wilds. What’s more, many of the items mentioned earlier can be used to create area effects, benefiting multiple players simultaneously.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s a good idea to try out various equipment setups (loadouts) to discover which items suit you best. If you’re playing with others in a team, coordinating on the items each member is carrying can be beneficial. Additionally, there are creatures in the wilderness that have effects similar to the listed items. Using these creatures can help save your own supplies for future hunts.
