Effect of Whetfish Fin+

Sharpness Recovers to Maximum and Sharpening Speed is Fast

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the Whetfish's upper fin allows you to recover your weapon's Sharpness to its maximum when used. Additionally, it sharpens faster compared to a regular Whetstone, so it's recommended to carry multiple for regular use.

Sharpening Speed is Equivalent to Whetstone Speedup Lv2

The sharpening speed of the Whetfish's upper fin is equivalent to the weapon skill Speed Sharpening Level 2. For users of Melee Weapons, it's recommended to substitute with the upper fin to free up skill slots.

It May Not Be Consumed When Used

The Whetfish's upper fin may remain in the Pouch without being consumed when used. Although you can only carry up to 5, it is effectively as if you have more than 5.
