Any canteen recipe that gives Attack or Defense L and 50 health+50 stamina?

[76561198055083273]

I always get the meat or fish platter whenever I want attack or defense L and sometimes the veggie platter for elemental resist and it would always give me 50 stamina but random health. Just curious if there are custom recipes that always give 50 health and 50 stamina along with attack or defense L

[Melusca]

Yes.

Fish Platter + Max Potion.

The health buff is based on how many fresh ingredients are in the meal. Since which ingredients are fresh is random after every hunt, there's no way to guarantee that a meal will give the full health bonus.

You'll just need to bring a max potion to be certain.

[Stationary Traveller]

It's random, but you can get max health at any moment with a max potion.

I have experienced getting Attack L from the Chef's Choice like a couple of times already. Its definitely possible, but not something you can have everyday

There comes a point where you stop eating chef's choice poverty platter and instead use vouchers to eat for skills and Attack L exclusively.

You can use a voucher to get the 50 health boost plus cat skills

The canteen system has a few levels to it.

The type boosts come from what kind of ingredient.
Meat is attack, fish is defense, veg is elemental resistance, etc.

How many of the ingredient decides how big the boost is. 2 is S, 4 is M, 6 is L

So for an attack L, you will need 6 meat ingredients in your dish. Defense L needs 6 fish.

The little colored circles decide which kinds of skills can activate.
Red is offensive skills, orange is defensive,etc. (press back to check what they do).
Again, the grade of skill depends on how many of that color you choose. 2, 4 or 6. Some of these are very powerful and can save your life.

So you could have 2xRed meat and 4xOrange meat for a chance at a basic offensive skill and a medium defensive skill with a definite attack up L (from the 6xmeat).

Finally there is freshness, sparkling green ingredients. This decides how much of a health boost you get. It also decides your chance at activating the skills. It's random so if you want the health boost, or the skill activation you probably won't get the stat boosts you want. The more you have in the recipe, the more health you get and the better chance at skill activation you get.

The real reason to favour that is the skills, not health.

If you want the stat boost and health, just pick the right ingredients and eat a max Potion. It's very hard to get both.

Or use a voucher for more fresh ingredients.

Finally, you will always get the full stamina boost, I think.

How are atk and def boosts complimentary?
I really don't think that's true. They stack with other stat boosters.
Against AT Vaal I used def boost to lower my damage and the difference was noticeable.

Also elemental resist is o ly useful against a handful of monsters.

If you want blight resistance there's an activated skill for dealing with blight from the blue color food items, I think.

[Bodhsativa]

Okay, yes, that's true in certain contexts,
But the atk and def boosts are not "complimentary". That makes it sound like you get them no matter what.
And elemental resist is not useful in every context.
For example, if I already have +35 fire resist, but I'm taking damage from physical hits, it's better for me and my build to go for defense.

All the boosts are useful depending on what you're fighting, and what your gear is.
Elemental resist won't help you against diablos at all, for example, but I wouldn't choose anything else if I was fighting Kirin.

Yeah sorry, I guess I was misleading. What I meant was, depending on your build and the fight... the elemental resist can be 'essential'. ATK and DEF boosts beyond that can be considered 'complimentary', The point being, worry about your elemental threshold first, then you can worry about adding other buffs, but the elemental threshold should take priority depending on the situation.

Ah, yeah, okay, that makes sense, I agree.

Damn... I wonder when I'll get to that point lol. HR 376 and I still take Chef's Choice unless I'm fighting something difficult. I'm not about to burn vouchers on Tempered Teostra to turn 5 mins into 4 mins and 45 seconds!

[Stationary Traveller]

I only use vouchers on Kulve at P3+ to get Felyne Carver Hi and on AT elders to get Felyne Slugger/Bombardier.

When greeting the gluttons comes back you'll have more vouchers than you know what to do with

Yeah, I use them on KT. And I use them until I get used to a particular AT, or all the time if I'm doing an AT in MP out of courtesy. This whole abandon's Chef's Choice though? Nah, that bus can leave without me, I'll walk.

True, that's how I got what I have in the first place, still though.
