Monster Hunter Wilds - How to Farm Cooking Ingredients

You can farm cooking ingredients in Monster Hunter Wilds in various ways. See how to farm cooking ingredients here!

How to Farm Cooking Ingredients

  1. Obtain from Vigorwasps
  2. Acquire via Item Trade
  3. Complete Event Quests
  4. Getting Rations

Obtain from Vigorwasps

Vigorwasp

You can get Eastern Honey from Vigorwasps, both from popping their green nectar and by catching them with a Capture Net. This means that you have double the chances of getting a drop just from popping and catching this bug.

You can also farm when a locale's weather is at Plenty, as Giant Vigorwasps will also appear in the map.

How to Get and Use Eastern Honey

Acquire via Item Trade

You can also get cooking ingredients from Item Traders per region. Each trader will ask for varying items to get a local ingredient from their region once you complete a required side mission. These items can be obtained from Material Retrieval NPCs.

Location Side Mission NPC Ingredients
Kunafa, Windward Plains A Merciless Glare Kilama
Wudwud Hideout, Scarlet Forest A Feast in the Deep Masharpeye
Gawdygog
Sild, Oilwell Basin The Black Flame Quietly Manifests Aida
Dogard
Yabran
Iceshard Cliffs Fight and Flight Rove
Ruins of Wyveria Repel the Guardian Arkveld Ren
Suja, Peaks of Accord Echoing from the Cliffs Sekka

Item Trading Guide

Complete Event Quests

Gravios Blockade

Completing Event Quests will sometimes reward you with ingredients upon completing them, and as these can be repeated, you can take on the quest again and again to stock up on ingredients.

For example, Gravios Blockade will give a couple of ingredients as rewards for completing the quest.

Event Quests Schedule and Release Date

Getting Rations

Cooking Food

Rations, or more specifically Meat, Fish, and Veggies, are easy to come by when you are simply playing the game. For example, you can get Raw Meat as a quest reward, killing a small monster in the map, and even through Tom at the Ingredient Center!

When you grill a meal, you have the option to turn one Ration into a Raw Meat, Fish or a Veggie. They all have different effects but they essentially share the same inventory quantity as your Ration.

Unfortunately, Rations alone don't give any effective boosts. This is why you must add other ingredients to your meal to gain better buffs.
