All Food and Meal Skills in Monster Hunter Wilds
Players have access to a variety of food and ingredient combos that they can cook on-demand at base or with their portable barbecue grill, and if you have some spare Meal Vouchers, you can head on over to the Grand Hub and request food from there too.
Some skills are guaranteed to activate after eating a meal, while others only have a small chance of triggering after eating certain meals or ingredients.
