Crafting Tips[edit]
There are several ways to make the crafting process more efficient.
The Basics of Crafting[edit]
While there are some unique items that take a bit of effort to create (due to the rarity of their ingredients), the crafting process is fundamentally the same for all items (except weapons and armor - you can read more about those upgrades here). You collect items out in the world - their locations are static so you’ll always know where to find them - then combine them with other items you find to turn them into something useful. Some of these items are then used to craft other items - and some can be augmented by adding certain elements.
Items can be crafted in the field by using the Crafting List in the pause menu, or in tents at campsites or when accessing your item box in Astera. It's worth noting that when crafting in the item box menu, you'll only use supplies that are being stored in that box, and the items you produce will not automatically be added to your personal inventory - you'll need to transfer them to your satchel manually.
Grow it at Home[edit]
You can find basic ingredients like herbs and honey in every region you'll explore, and others will be unique to certain climates. Thankfully, you can learn to farm many of these resources in a botanical garden in Astera (once you progress far enough in the story). As you complete more quests, deliveries and bounties you'll unlock the ability to grow more items - both in terms of item type and the quantity you can produce per harvest.
This will help you avoid having to spend time searching for basic items, or having to search for more specialized ingredients. Unfortunately, while you can eventually produce most plants and bugs in your botanical garden, you can’t farm any monster materials (unless you learn how to clone them, but something tells us that's not in the DLC plan). These are rarely used when crafting, but keep your eyes peeled for Arowana and Gunpowderfish scales. You’re also unable to farm ivy at your garden, so make sure to collect any you find while on an expedition.
Quick-Crafting Options[edit]
You can quick-craft items by adding recipes to your radial item menu (the default for this is L1/LB). Simply open the “customize radial menu” screen in the first tab of the pause menu and select an empty slot on either radial. Ttab over to “Crafting Recipes” section in the item screen and choose one of the many recipes that you’ve unlocked and want to add to your menu.
This is helpful, though ultimately a bit redundant - if you don’t have any of an item you want to use, when you select the item itself (not the recipe) in the radial menu, you'll automatically craft one provided that you have the necessary ingredients.
Similarly, you can toggle the handy Auto-Crafting feature from your Crafting List in the pause menu (default: ▲ / Y). Selected recipes will be crafted whenever you acquire the ingredients necessary to make those items. Note that this doesn’t work for combining items that are already in your inventory, only when you pick up a new ingredient that gives you enough to craft whatever item you've designated.
Pack Lightly[edit]
Sadly, though there have been decided improvements made to the crafting/carrying system from past Monster Hunter games, you aren't able to upgrade or increase your carrying capacity. This means you’ll need to learn to manage your inventory, and a big part of this is to make sure you try to leave camp with as little in your inventory as possible.
You’ll still need to plan your loadout for the hunt you’re going on, but try to get as much crafting done before heading into the field. Setting up autocrafting for items you know you’ll use a lot of is useful here, too, though if your pack does get full you can always head back to the tent at camp to unload.
In addition to not carrying an abundance of raw ingredients, you’ll want to avoid picking up any items that are unnecessary or unuseful to you. Once you’ve got a good handle on how you like to play and what weapons you favor, make sure you don’t pick up items that you’ll never use. Do you favor the light Chain Blitz bowgun but not the heavy Iron Assault? Then don’t bother picking up certain berries or nuts that are only used to craft Iron Assualt ammo. Maybe you'd rather use the Sword & Shield or Dual Blades? Make sure to stockpile every Nitroshroom and Might Seed you can to keep your attack and stamina levels boosted.
Crafting Recipes[edit]
Below you will find the recipes for various items that can be crafted from gathered materials in the wilds of Monster Hunter World. There are three main types of items that can be crafted: Healing / Support items, which restore HP and stamina or cure afflictions; Traps / Offense, which allow you do ensnare and damage enemies or monsters, and Ammo / Coatings, which are for the various long-range weapons in Monster Hunter World.
