has anyone figured out how to check current active food skills?

[Bread]

used to be, we could check in the 'status' section but that doesnt seem to be in Wilds?

sometimes we can trigger a food skill/buff outside of what is listed but for some strange reason with this entry, we cant check?? or am I just blind?

You can eat steaks now to get the food buff. Way better system. Skill issue.

This. Head into the hunt with your proper food buff. If it runs out, eat a steak or quickly cook up another BBQ. If you keep an eye on the food timer (hold LB/L1) you won't have issues and the food will last several hunts, unlike previous games.

Did you not read OP's question? It's about checking the food skills you have on currently without going into a tent or getting the bbq out

[Scipo0419]

Didn't see anyone say it, but for checking what the food skills you can make are:

Go to your tent/portable BBQ > "Grill A Meal" > Custom Meal > Ingredients (I think, it's the 2nd item). You can see what ingredients you have and what skills they offer.

This doesn't help with meal invitations, but I haven't figured out how to view those skills yet.

Yep you cant, only when you adding ingridients.
Weird af, but it is waht it is.

[Audiopython]

they have this nice and very intricate system for displaying all your skills, and then chose not to include all your active skills, it's either a mistake or stupid, it's up to capcom to choose currently, patch it and iut's a mistake, leave it be and it's stupid.

[The Debauchery]

Just getting the grill out and going into the cooking menu shows on the right side of the screen if you already have a meal active or not and what skills come with it. It does NOT explain what they do, mind you.

To be fair isnt it better the way it is now? theres more animations because the food changes depending on what you cooked, and its time based instead of hunt based, so 1 meal can last multiple hunts. I refuse to believe that people "liked" the other meal system because it was essentially a chore that u had to eat every single hunt.

1) who cares about lame video people will skip
2) food can fall while you hunt monster, considering stamina decreasing over time, you can just spam red meat only and not bother every quest

While in World food buff encouraged to play/prepare better, in Wilds might aswell just remove it and put some skills like moxie into armor jewel. Worthless botched feature.

its your foult if it wears of mid hunt... check the timer bevor you start a hunt and then decide if the remaining time is enough. if not eat something. its not that hard...

[CH13F]

hold ALT button on pc (key configurations / display items), on top left corner you ll see the remaining time. The food timer also doesnt go down when you re inside maincamps' borders.

seriously all this blabbing could be explained with 1 sentence, just like this.

you people such drama queens

I think it activating when it shouldn't is a bug.

The patch scheduled for tomorrow has a fix for just that.

[mistypixie]

i just wanna see what active buffs i have on the top left corner and how much time they have left

You are kinda right on one hand, kinda wrong on the other.

The food system, right now, is just garbage.

Imaginary case of the game being actually more difficult and stats/buffs actually matter:

If you are not target hunting, the new system is straight up worse.

You are forced to farm resources which then get traded into items with traders which potentially don't even offer the correct ingredients! So even if you spend hours to have "infinite" ingredients, you can only trade in a limited amount and also have to be lucky.

If you change the target and want more offensive, instead of defensive, stats, you need to waste difficult to farm ingredients. The duration of 50 minutes will have zero impact on a hunt, the opposite: you running out of a buff midrun is a big issue.


What was wrong with the "meal system" we previously had? It was too simple. Easy as that. We did not waste time on it, outside of optional quests to gather new ingredients which are permanent additions.

A good number of ingredients are obtained directly from normal gathering. Wild herbs can drop from herbs, eastern honey from honey and giant vigor wasp, wild seeds from might seeds etc
Trading for ingredients is only worth it for the ingredients made by the village and usually the special items for those trades are easy to get

This isn't always effective. In fact, most of the time you can't pull out the barbecue grill when you might want to check. Often times for arbitrary reasons that the game won't tell you.

Placing the only way to check this on something that you often can't do is rather short sighted.
