Complete Monster Hunter Wilds Crafting guide
Monster Hunter Wilds puts a lot of emphasis on crafting different items, and you can produce many vital goods using various resources. There are over 50 different crafting recipes that you can unlock inside the game. From healing items to explosives, many of them can be created as long as you have the required ingredients. Compared to other traditional RPGs, there's a cool feature you get to enjoy as well. How to craft items in Monster Hunter Wilds The basic form of crafting is straightforward to understand. Open the Start Menu, and the Crafting List is under the first tab. Of course, you can also check the complete list in our guide, allowing you to do something else inside the game. Some items will be locked if you have just begun your adventures. It's easy to identify them because they won't have any name and are represented by "????". If you have the name of any item, it can be crafted directly with the right resources. The items with hidden recipes will be revealed when you get the items required to produce them. You can also access the same Crafting List from the Start Menu inside your tent. This is the more favorable approach in my books because you can access your full stash of available resources. Image via Destructoid Should you use auto-crafting in Monster Hunter Wilds If you look at my image above, you'll see a toggle option beside every recipe. The game features an auto-crafting system, which makes life easier for beginners. If auto-crafting is toggled on for an item, it will automatically craft one when you have the required ingredients. For example, Potions require the use of Herbs. If you collect Herbs while exploring the lands, they automatically convert into Potions if auto-crafting for the item is turned on. This also applies to advanced recipes that use two different ingredients. At first, I felt comfortable with the auto-crafting feature. However, it can also cause a problem later on, as many recipes often share a common ingredient. Crafting advanced items manually will allow you to exercise control over what you want to craft. Additionally, you'll need some items more than others based on your weapon. For example, if I use a Double-Blade build, I will always want to keep a lot of Potions stacked in my inventory. On the other hand, using a Long Sword will offer you a lot of scope on defense, and the need for Potions will decline. Hence, auto-crafting should only be turned on for the fundamental items and manually proceed when producing the advanced items. It might take some time to adapt, but the efforts will be worth it in the long run. The post Complete Monster Hunter Wilds Crafting guide appeared first on Destructoid.
