Food Buffs

[Катюша]

A lot of the food buffs are self explanatory, but I was wondering if anyone has found a place that lists them all? Kiranico is usually useful, but not in this case.


Insurance Meal - Prevents the first faint of a Hunt counting towards failure.
Lucky Meal - Not sure.
Carver Meal - Provides a chance at more carve attempts on monsters.
Capture Pro Meal - Presumably increases capture rewards.
Exploiter Meal - Perhaps a Critical buff, or maybe makes it easier to create Wounds?
Rider Meal - Easier to mount monsters?
Riser Meal - Not sure. Perhaps quicker recovery from debuffs?
Iron Carver Meal - Presumably makes it so you are harder to knockdown whilst carving.
Escape Artist Meal - Not sure. Maybe makes it quicker to hide from monsters, or escape from things like webbing.
Balanced Meal - Not sure.
Trainer Meal - More Hunting Rank experience after finishing a quest.
Bulldozer Meal - Not sure.
Hardy Meal - Not sure.
Piping-Hot Meal - Not sure.
Break-time Meal - Partbreaker?
Fortune Hunter Meal - Not sure.
Fisher Meal - Easier fishing?
Top Cat Meal - Palico buff?

I'll fill in the ones that you're not sure about or don't have.

Insurance Meal - Prevents the first faint of a Hunt counting towards failure.

>Lucky Meal - Provides extra target rewards at end of hunt

Carver Meal - Provides a chance at more carve attempts on monsters.

>Capture Pro Meal - Increases capture rewards.

>Exploiter Meal - Chance to gain additional rewards when breaking wounds.

>Rider Meal - Higher mount damage buildup (not actual damage just the hidden number that you need to hit to mount)

>Riser Meal - Increases iframes when getting up after being knocked on the ground

>Iron Carver Meal - makes it so you cannot be interrupted while carving

>Escape Artist Meal - reduces stamina drain when running away from a large monster.

>Balanced Meal - I believe this one either prevents knockdowns or makes you very resistant to being knocked down. Needs testing.

>Trainer Meal - Increases PALICO xp after finishing a quest

>Bulldozer Meal - This is either more damage AFTER blocking (may require a perfect block I haven't tested) or more damage after an attack is deflected off a monster such as hitting a hard monster part (think gravios)

Hardy Meal - Not sure.

>Piping-Hot Meal - extra attack at low health

>Break-time Meal - Gain a temporary attack buff after using the sit gesture. I've heard eating during a hunt also gives this buff.

>Fortune Hunter Meal - increases zenny rewards on quests by 1.5x

>Fisher Meal - Fish bite easier

>Top Cat Meal - Attack and defense increase for palico

The only one I'm not sure about is the hardy meal. Balanced meal could use some testing as well. I believe I've also seen 2x zenny reward maybe the lucky meal also increases zenny but I'm not sure about that. Could have also just been a lucky voucher I used.

Thank you for the clarifications. It is appreciated.

Balanced meal according to Game8 prevents knockdowns entirely
Bulldozer activates after one of YOUR attacks are deflected off a hard monster part. Looks like it's not blocks.

That's good to know, thanks!
