Other Recommended Items

Recover Items

Type	Details
Lifepowder	- Recover a small amount of HP - Allies can also recover
Dust of Life	- Recovers a lot of HP - Allies can also recover
Ancient Potion	- Recover HP and Stamina to maximum instantly

If you often play multiplayer, we also recommend Lifepowder and Dust of Life, which also allow allies to recover. Ancient Potion has a more powerful effect than Max Potion, but you can only bring one and it's difficult to prepare the Crafting Materials, so only bring it if you can.

Buff Items

Type	Details
Might Seed	- Attack up for 3 minutes
Demondrug	- Attack increases for 30 minutes - Effect duration is longer than Might Seed and Demon Powder
Demon Powder	- Attack increases for 3 minutes - Allies can also be strengthened

We also recommend Might Seed, Demondrug, and Demon Powder, which increase Attack for a certain period of time when used. These buff effects can overlap, so if you want to increase your Fire power to the limit, bring all of them. If you have enough materials, it is better to use Mega Demondrug instead of Demondrug.

Status Effect Recover Item

Type	Details
Antidote	- Can cure Poison condition - When mixed with Blue Mushroom, it becomes Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine	- Recover a small amount of HP while curing Poison status
Nulberry	- Can cure Blight

If the monster you are hunting can give you status ailments, we also recommend Antidote and Nulberry. Herbal Medicine is better than the Antidote, so if you have Blue Mushrooms, be sure to craft some.

Luring Pod

Type	Details
Luring Pod	- You can guide monsters towards you

Luring Pods can be used to attract monsters to your location. Use it when you want to move monsters to areas where it is easy to fight, or want to use traps like Falling Boulders, etc. You can also hit monsters that are about to move areas to prevent them from moving.

Ammo's Crafting Material

For those who use the Heavy Bowgun or Light Bowgun, bringing Ammo Crafting Material is also a good option. If you run out of Ammo, you will be forced to return to camp, so if you are not sure how much Ammo you will consume, it is a good idea to bring it with you.

How to Sort Item Pouch Vertically

Items Can Be Rearranged Vertically

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can arrange Item Pouches vertically by rearranging the items in the camp menu, selecting the rearrange button, and then pressing the cursor direction switch. Sorting can also be done when opening the Item Pouch in the field.

Best to Arrange Them by the Same Category

When arranging items vertically, we recommend grouping them into the same category for better visibility and easier organization of Pouches.

You Can Sort by Column at Once

If you place the cursor on a vertically arranged Item column and press and hold ▢, you can move all the Items in that column at once. Use this when you want to change the sort order all at once.

Returns to Horizontal Line with Auto-Sort

If you open the Sub-menu with △ and select "Auto-sort", Items other than Fixed Items will return to a horizontal line. Use this when deciding the sort order from scratch.

What to Do When Item Pouch is Full

When the Item Pouch in Monster Hunter Wilds is full, there are several ways to deal with it, such as "send it to the Field Pouch", "replace it with the item in the pouch'', "throw away unnecessary items'', and "replace the item in the item box''.

Send to Field Pouch (Item Box)

When Item Pouch is full, you can send items that cannot fit into Field Pouch. Items sent to Field Pouch are automatically stored in the item box, so if you want to use them after sending them, just take them out of the item box in the Tent.

Replace With Item in Pouch

If you get an item that you want to use right away, replace it with another item in your pouch. The replaced Item can be sent to the Field Pouch.

Throw Away Unnecessary Items

You can specify the number of items in the pouch to throw away. By discarding unnecessary items and leaving space open, you can save yourself the trouble of replacing items when you get new ones.

Replace Items With Item Box

You can also move to Base Camp or Pop-Up Camp and swap items in the tent. Although you will have to interrupt your quest or exploration, you can replace items all at once, so you can free up more slots.

How to Use Item Pouch and Limit

Item Can Be Used From the Item Bar

Items in the Item Pouch can be used from the Item Bar displayed at the bottom right of the screen. Even if you open the Item Pouch, you cannot use Items from there.

Item Bar Can be Fully Expanded

When the Item Bar is fully expanded, the items will be displayed in the same order as the Item Pouch. You can see the location of the item at a glance, saving you the trouble of searching for it.

Item Pouch Limited to 25 Items

Up to 25 types of items can be placed in the Item Pouch, excluding the fixed items. This limit cannot be changed.

Register Your Own Set in the Tent

Press L3 on the Item replacement screen in the Tent to register your Item Pouch as a Loadout. By selecting a Loadout, you can instantly replenish items and store unnecessary items, so be sure to register frequently used items.

Can be Registered to Radial Menu

You can also register items to the Radial Menu by choosing "Customize Radial Menu" in the Items and Equipment tab. The Radial Menu allows you to use items more quickly than the item bar, so be sure to register frequently used items.

Automatic Crafting

Items registered in the Radial Menu can be used without crafting them if you have the required crafting material in your pouch. If you registered an item that you can only bring in small amounts, such as the Max Potion, it is recommended that you bring materials for crafting more.

Fixed Items Cannot Be Replaced

Icons with a ◇ shaped frame like the Whetstone, Fishing Rod, etc. are fixed items and cannot be replaced or discarded. Also, since it is not a consumable item, it will never run out, no matter how many times you use it.

Hiding Items

Fixed Items can be shown or hidden by selecting them in the Item Pouch. When hidden, an X mark will be added to the top right of the icon and it will not be displayed on the Item Bar.
