Why is Nourishing Extract so rare?

[Toxi]

It seems easier to just trade for the consumables from the melder.

I suppose you'll be asking this question more than once, because this game has a rather crappy random.

Hum... not joking, I've got 471 Nourishing Extract in my box right now.

Most of them were left overs from pre-Iceborne on T2 Odogaron Jewel farming.

Also, why would you need Nourishing Extract anyway?
Nourishing Extract were used in 3 crafting recipe:
Ancient Potion, Mega Demondrug and Mega ArmourSkin

Ancient Potion - You get absurd amount from Steamwork.
Mega Demondrug and Mega ArmourSkin can both be crafted at Meld pot.

because, you would think at one point you could use them, after hundreds and hundreds of hours.

what is the time gating we're talking about here before you don't have to worry about getting them? 1-2k hours? I've got 400 hours and when I checked I only had 49 of them.

The only time you'll need them is to make:

1. Ancient Potion
2. Mega Demondrug
3. Mega ArmourSkin

ALL OF THEM CAN BE CRAFTED AT THE MELD POT!

that's well and good...

but that's what I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ said above in the op in case you missed it, you trade ♥♥♥♥ you get very easily for it and skip all the materials even leading up to making an ancient potion, mega demodrug/armorskin.. Did I mention it takes another consumable to upgrade it into one of those 3 and that you need the materials for that consumable as well, on top of this one?

I'm asking, what is the logic behind this item and this craft? it seems just useless to me.

oh ok...
I get that reason, but they could've done something better to justify its scarcity, like a stronger consumable type that's hard to make and come by and you'd only use if you ever really, truly needed to, because of the price of misusing it.

i use nourish and kelbi horn now, since i got around 2k, and i got 300-400 kelbi horn.

with that, you can bring up to 31 ancient potion (1 ancient potion, 20 kelbi+nouris extract, 10 kelbi+immunizer).

max potion only allow you to bring 7 (2maxpot, 5mandragora+mega nutrient)

but maxpot material is easier to obtain.

with this you can leave Mega potion.

i use special loadout with 21 ancient potion for special hunt. Hard one, tempered tier 3 inves, raging brachy, AT, MR KT.

tldr, norish extract is useful if you know how to get a lot and what for.

1. Ancient Potion, Mega Demondrug, Mega ArmourSkin ARE NOT those item you'll need in every fights. I don't think I've used more than 5 Mega Demondrug in my 1600 hours of gameplay.

2. You'll get AT LEAST ONE Nourishing Extract, each time you kill / Capture Odogaron, Dodogama OR Paolumu.

3. At the Melding pot, NO ONE uses valuable stuffs to trade. As for these 3 items, you can use stuffs like:
Steamwork tickets - no other use besides making that crappy Steamwork armour (or any tickets in general).
Great Hornfly - junks from Botanical research.
Over piled monster bones & general bones from Guiding land monsters.

I found 7 max potions pretty sufficient. If I ran into situations where I needed 21 Ancient Potions then that serves a massive warning of Git Gud.

Also, it isn't that hard to fly back to the camp for resupply?

Tailraider Safaris also works, it's far from rare.

yes, you are right.

normally 7 would be enough, but sometimes i run out, after watch speedrun AT namielle forget who(maybe tiieleven), in the comment section i found out you can bring more, and beside ancient is superior since it fill stamina too. Why not, why need to restock if you can bring more. There is no demerit. So i just re adjust my loadout.

well when i ran out kelbi horn, i will back to max pot though. enjoying luxury while it last is not bad.

I think all MH games have that rare crafting material that is needed for common consumables.
In MHFU it was power extract, which was needed for mega juice. Could only be obtained from Gypceros, a monster you barely fought. I'm sure 3 and 4 also had one too.
