How to craft items¶
To begin crafting, open the start menu and pick the Crafting List. You can also access this menu from your tent, letting you grab ingredients from your inventory stash. This list will let you scroll through every craftable item in the game. If you’re just seeing a bunch of question marks here, that means you haven’t found the materials necessary for those items. Once you find the right ingredients during your travels, you’ll discover the recipes and what these items do. But if you’re curious, simply scroll down and take a look at our thorough lists.
How to use auto-crafting¶
If there are some items you tend to craft often, you can set them as favorites. Auto-crafting lets you go one step further and automatically craft items whenever you have enough ingredients for specific items. You can enable this option in the Crafting List. This is triggered only when you have one ingredient and acquire the second ingredient, meaning that your current supply of Herbs and Honey won’t instantly turn into Mega Potions.
We recommend using auto-crafting for items that you’ll use in every hunt. The best items for this are potions, antidotes, cool drinks, hot drinks, armorskin, mega barrel bombs, bowgun ammo, and shock traps. Catalysts are a good choice too since a good number of items require it.
Items require a maximum of two ingredients to make.
