All Cooking Ingredients in Monster Hunter Wilds
There are around 20cooking ingredients inMonster Hunter Wilds. Each time you discover a new cooking ingredient, it will be added to the BBQ menu in your tent with a description of what it does.
Let’s discuss all the cooking ingredients available in the game.
All Rations in Monster Hunter Wilds
Rations are the base of any meal inMonster Hunter Wilds. These focus on improving your overall health, stamina, defense, and overall element resistance. There are only a few Rations players can get inMonster Hunter Wilds.
Here is a list featuring all of them:
Ingredient
How to Get
Health +50
Gathered from the Ingredient Center in Windward Plains. Players can also carve small animals in the wild to get Meat.
Stamina +150
Gathered from the Ingredient Center in Windward Plains. Players can also catch fish in the wild to get this ingredient.
Defense +4
Gathered from the Ingredient Center in Windward Plains and also collected in the wild from various plants.
Defense +2
Element Resistances +3
I personally recommend alwayschoosing Veggies as aRationwhen cooking. It offers the same level of increase to health and stamina as the others, but is the onlyrationthat offers a boost to element resistance.
Considering most monsters deal some type of elemental damage, veggies can be a big help.
