There are a lot of items to find and craft inMonster Hunter Wildsand only a few inventory slots to manage. A lot of the materials you find can be crafted into something useful right then and there, but opening upthe crafting menuin a hunt can be dangerous.
Auto-crafting is a great tool for instantly picking up an item and crafting it into what you need it to be. Here’s how auto-crafting works along with how to turn it on and off for individual items.
How To Turn Auto-Crafting On & Off In Monster Hunter Wilds
Auto-crafting is turned on and off for each individual item, so you can choose which ones you want to auto-craft in case one material is used in multiple recipes. If you want auto-crafting turned off across the board, you will need to go in andindividually turn it off for every item. To control auto-crafting, open up the main menu and select the Crafting List. Here you’ll see a list of all the things you can craft, and when hovering over an item press:
Pressing this button will toggle the bar to the right side of that item in the menu. When thecircle is to the right side and the bar is green, auto-crafting is turned onfor that item, and vice versa. Not every item can have auto-crafting turned on, but just about every consumable thatheals you or restores a status ailmentcan be, and they are almost all worth having on at all times.
How Does Auto-Crafting Work In Monster Hunter Wilds
As long as the item you want to craft has auto-crafting turned on, you’ll automatically craft that item whenever you pick up the second item in the recipe. If you haveboth items already in your inventory, the system won’t auto-craft anythingthat you already have. This means you’ll only auto-craftMega Potionwhenever you pick up Honey, and not if you just haveHoneyalready in your inventory. When you auto-craft, a notification will appear along the right side of the screen letting you know what you crafted, the same aswhen skills activate.
This means you’ll still have to do a bit of manual crafting, but the main benefit to auto-crafting is the ability to immediately make consumables in combat, such asPotion. You’ll also need to ensure youhave an inventory slot for the new item to go when auto-crafting. If you’re at your pouch’s capacity and pick something up that you may auto-craft with and not require a new inventory slot for, you’ll still auto-craft what you can before getting the usual menu asking you to drop something.
Example: If your pouch is full but you only have one Mega Potion and a few potions, picking up Honey will still auto-craft the Mega Potions since there is a slot for the resulting Mega Potions to go.
