Frequently Used Item Preset

Recommneded Items |

- Potions or Optimal Health Recovery - Nulberry or Optimal Status Recovery - Lifepowder - Ancient Potion - Traps - Tranq Bombs - Whetstone - Mantle, etc... |
We recommend setting up a preset with essential items for any hunt. It's a good idea to register potions in the top or bottom slots for easy access and to reduce the chances of misusing an item. Other items, like tranq bombs and whetstones, can be registered to the diagonal slots.
Optimal Health Recovery/State Recovery Are Great Choices
The Radial Menu in Monster Hunter Wilds now includes a new option called Optimal Health Recovery and Optimal Status Recovery, which automatically uses the suggested item when selected. This feature can help save preset slots for other items.
A Preset For Buffing Items

If you regularly use items that buff your stats, such as Might Seed, Adamant Seed, Demondrug, and Armorskin, we recommend creating this preset. It is useful for reapplying their effects, as they last only up to 3 minutes in previous titles.
A Preset For Capturing Monsters
