Monster Hunter Wilds official report reveals players’ favorite food in the penalty area

This week, Capcom released a detailed analysis of Monster Hunter Wilds game data. The Japanese report, under the official title “Tao Land White Paper 1”, covers the player activity after the update of MHW on April 4 and reveals that hunters have a very strong preference for in-game food.

In addition to adding new quests and monsters, Monster Hunter Wilds’ free April 4 update launches a large hub, an area where players can gather and meet. The large hub also has a canteen where you can change meal vouchers to get dishes from each area of ​​the taboo land. Eating a hearty meal in Monster Hunter Wild offers you a variety of enthusiasts based on the dishes, so the large hubs and meal costs provide a quick way to get your character ready before questing with other players (without having to trek to a specific area to eat a specific food). Meal coupons can be popped up as daily login bonuses or Arena Quest bonuses.

As reported Japanese automatonthis Prohibited Land White Paper 1 Data on the use of meal vouchers in four areas are revealed. Spring Kunafa Cuisine is by far the most popular cuisine, accounting for 87.8% of voucher use. Fresh Sild cuisine (8.2%), colorful Suja cuisine (3.5%) and hot azuz cuisine (only 0.5%).

The report gives the main reasons for the overwhelming victory of Kunafa food vouchers in the spring. Five of these vouchers were given to players during the April 4 update, and it seems many players have used up these freebies. Spring Kunafa Food Voucher has the opportunity to offer one of three enthusiasts, and the report shows that the Defender Meal (HI) Buff may be welcomed by players on difficult tasks as it greatly reduces the damage from monster attacks.

However, the equal numbers of these regional meal tickets have not been distributed yet, which is why Sild, Suja and Azuz are so obviously lagging behind. The data on Pick-A-Meal voucher usage gives a clear picture of what dishes players really like and don't like.

As the name implies, the Pick-A-Meal voucher allows players to choose dishes from any region. When using these vouchers, players’ top picks are hot Azuz cuisine, accounting for 41.3%, followed by colorful Suja Cuisine (28.3%), Spring Kunafa cuisine (19%) and fresh SILD cuisine (12%).

The white paper shows that players choose to pour over Azuz dishes due to the tumbler meal (HI) buff, which greatly improves escape. It points out that in the case of filling the trick arrows, performing successful identification of the road is particularly important for the bow user. The second most popular colorful Suja Cuisine is perfect for offensive players looking for the greatest rewards, as rewards for this cuisine include Caprice Meal (HI), which randomly increases your attack loss and increases your attack loss as an exploiter, which increases your reward from destroying Monster's wounds (you can also get from causing huge sushi sushi sushi sushi rolls).

Although players may choose which meals to eat based on the hobbies they offer, Pick-A-Meal coupon usage data attracts some entertainment for players, as it seems to indicate that SILD food is unpopular. Most of the food in Monster Hunter Wilds looks mouthwatering, banquet food with Kunafa Even some players were so hungry that Japanese Nepali restaurants sold out.

However, due to Sild's location in the barren ruins of Wyveria, the food is very simple, including immature fruits and vegetables such as white tomatoes and raw garlic bulbs. This is in stark contrast to the indulgent feasts in other regions, where SILD cuisine is seen as “unrelated” compared to players, for example in the following Reddit thread.

It seems Capcom will release a future “white paper” on Monster Hunter Wilds, so it’s interesting to see if people’s eating habits change in future games. Monster Hunter Wilds just got a new update on May 28, and even added Street Fighter's Akuma to the game – This is a new feature in version 1.011.
