Meat and Fish dishes are excellent options to consume before a battle as they affect your characters' stats, Attack and Defense, respectively.

On the other hand, vegetable dishes are good to consume before exploration, den spawning, or egg farming, as they affect field expedition. For example, consuming a vegetable dish can increase the items gathered in the field including items found in chests. Some vegetable dishes can also increase the chances of spawning dens in the wild and raising potency in eggs.

Lastly, dishes under the grain category aid with character growth, which includes increasing the EXP received. Eat these dishes for when you want to level up your Monsties fast.

Players can use the cooking function by visiting the main location of the Ranger Mess or selecting the function at campsites. Before heading there, however, players need to make sure that they have a sufficient amount of ingredients to cook their desired dish. They also have the option to add more ingredients for different effects.

Recipes can be obtained either at the Melynx Emporium or as quest rewards. Head over to the Melynx Emporium to purchase various recipes that you can use for cooking. Additionally, you can also receive recipes as rewards from completing story quests and side quests!

Players will either have to purchase ingredients from the Melynx Emporium or explore different areas to forage for them. Take note that these ingredients can also be found in the wild inside chests.
