About Felyne Whim Skills
If you are ever going to be the best of the best, you better master Felyne Whim Skills, nya! Hey! No laughing! The whim of a cat is serious business, meow! They are just as important as regular Skills, with amazing affects to boot!
The first thing I will explain is how to acquire Felyne Whim Skills, meow. When you have a Felyne make you food in the Felyne Kitchen, the food you eat may trigger a Skill depending on the whim of the Felyne. But just having a Felyne make you food isn't enough to trigger these Skills, nya.
Each and every Felyne that becomes a chef has a special ingredient that they are particularly fond of, nya. If you have them use that to make food, you may receive a wonderful Skill along with your dinner! The only negative to this is that the Skill's effects only last for one Quest, meow.
What kind of Skill will warm your stomach depends on the Felyne cooking your meal. Each Felyne has three Skills they can infuse into your meal. You can confirm which Skills each Felyne is capable of when you hire them, nya!
The trick is to hire the Felynes with the best Skills and then give them the best ingredients so they can cook you the best dinner. That doesn't mean you'll always get a great Skill, nya, but Felynes with a high Felyne Level are more likely to trigger a Skill. You should use them to make your meals, meow!
If you've got a few Felynes that have different special ingredients, you should try mixing ingredients from different categories as opposed to going with the same kind of food. I think, meow. In the next edition of Whim Skills Even A Blango Could Love, I'll explain some of the purrfect Felyne Whim Skills! Make sure to read it, nya!
Skill
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| FelyneDismantle[Hi] | With this Skill, the number of times you can carve a monster after it has been slayed will increase, nya. If you activate this Skill after you slay a certain wyvern, let's just say woohoo, meow, and woohoo again, nya! But this Skill only works sometimes... |
| FelyneDismantle[Lo] | With this Skill, the number of times you can carve a monster after it has been slayed will increase, nya. If you activate this Skill after you slay a certain wyvern, let's just say woohoo, meow, and woohoo again, nya! But this Skill only works sometimes... |
| Felyne Negotiations | Triggering this Skill will cause you to become amiable to a variety of conversations. The fickle Veggie Elders will give you nice items, and items stolen by the Melynx will find their way home much more easily, nya. It is a simple, but useful, Skill, meow. |
| Felyne Culinary Arts | When you are a master of the Felyne Culinary Arts Skill, it will be even easier than usual to make incredibly tasty meat, nya. Where once you would have cooked up some Rare Steak, the same timing will now make Well-Done Steak, meow! Is that great or what!? |
| Felyne Medicine | This Skill will give all your normal medicines and herbs a little pick me up, nya. Your regular Herbs will recover more Health than usual, while Antidote Herbs will be even more effective, meow. |
| FelyneMartialArts[H] | With this Skill active, your evades or Guards will eat up less Stamina than before, nya. For weapons without Guard, such as a Bow or Dual Blades, evades are absolutely critical, meow. This Skill is like a panacea that allows you to evade and fight with glee, nya. |

| Felyne Gunpowder | With this Skill activated, the power of Large Barrel Bombs and Small Barrel Bombs will increase, nya! Only a Felyne could produce a Skill like this, don't you think? Nya? Large Barrel-Bomb+, meow? We don't use such uncouth weapons, nya! |
| FelyneSpecialAttack | With the Felyne Special Attack Skill, weapons that can cause abnormal statuses will be able to cause these adverse effects more easily, meow. This is a purrfect skill to match with a Sword or Bowgun, nya. Those beastly monsters will never see it coming! At least I don't think they will! |
| Felyne Defense[Hi] | With this Skill activated, a monster's attack will occasionally cause less damage, nya. Sure, it is a simple Skill... But how many Skills do you know of that can save your life, meow!? |

| Felyne Woodwinds | Sometimes, while using a Flute, you will find the item suddenly breaks. With this Skill, that Flute will have a much harder time breaking on you, meow! Nya!? You use a Hunting Horn? I've got no idea what this Skill does for those, nya! |

| Felyne Charisma | With the Felyne Charisma Skill, you will find yourself getting into long conversations with the strangest of people, nya. In the field, some people in particular are turned off by the idea of idle chat. With this Skill, you should be able to coax them into conversation, meow! |
| Felyne Combine[Hi] | With this Skill active, your chances at success during Combining will be increased, meow! It's just like having a Book of Combos! Or at least I think it is just like that, nya. When you fight a powerful wyvern, this is a Skill you'll surely want to have, meow! |
| Felyne Combine[Lo] | With this Skill active, your chances at success during Combining will be increased, meow! It's just like having a Book of Combos! Or at least I think it is just like that, nya. When you fight a powerful wyvern, this is a Skill you'll surely want to have, meow! |
| Felyne Gathering | If you activate this Skill and head out into the field on a gathering mission, you are sure to find more than expected, nya. You'll never come home disappointed again! This is a purrfect Skill for when you are after something special, meow. |
| Felyne Aim | When you have been graced with this Skill, the Normal S you often fire from your Bowgun will be even more powerful, nya. It will be as powerful as a level 1 charged arrow from a Bow! Sure it's just one shot, but pile them on and it will surely add up! Too bad this Skill won't help melee users at all, nya. |
| Mega Lucky Cat | |
| Ultra Lucky Cat | With this Skill, the reward you receive at the end of a Quest will be substantially larger, meow! Or so I am told... There is also another great Skill like this called Mega Lucky Cat, nya! |
| Felyne Heroics | When this Skill is activated, hunters who find themselves in a jam will also find themselves endowed with even greater power, nya. Your attacks will be stronger, your defenses more powerful... Even your stories after the battle will be better, meow! |
| Felyne Blunt Force | The Felyne Blunt Force Skill will dramatically increase the power of weapons without Sharpness several times over. Nya... Weapons without Sharpness... That must be a Bowgun, nya! Which means several times over isn't quite so impressive, meow... |
| Felyne Great Break | If you use a melee weapon, you know what happens when you strike a hard rock or monster... The weapon just bounces right back, nya! This Felyne Whim Skill will increase your Sharpness beyond its normal level and allow you to release a crushing blow even when striking something hard. |
| Felyne Escape | If you have this great Skill activated, your escapes from giant monsters or scary wyverns will chew up much less Stamina than normal, nya. You'll never have to worry about running yourself ragged ever again. Now your dashes in fear will last much longer, meow! |
| Felyne Throw | This Skill will increase the damage caused by throw attacks like throwing a Stone, nya! And not just Stones, but Throwing Knives and Boomerangs will also receive a boost in power, meow. Throwing Knives are special Supply Items you can get on Training School or Treasure Hunters Quests, nya. |
| Felyne Courage | It doesn't matter who you are, when you are out in the field and you run into a wyvern, you will be shocked, meow! However, with this Skill, you'll never be surprised again! They always say us Felynes have guts, nya! |
| Felyne Supercat | The Felyne Supercat Skill will make carrying Eggs and such a thing of ease because your Stamina will be much more difficult to decrease, meow. Combined with a Backpacking Expert, Eggs and Powderstones are like the lightest of feathers! Purrfect for Treasure Hunters Quests, nya! |
| Felyne Strongcat | Say you are carrying an Egg and some insects attack you... The Egg would drop, nya? Well, with this Skill activated, that will be a thing of the past! If you combine it with an item called Power Juice, Eggs and Powderstones will no longer cause you stress, meow! This is a great skill for Treasure Hunters, nya! |
| Felyne Fear Factor | The Felyne Fear Factor Skill will fill your Quests with encounters with relatively weak monsters, nya. It's like having a Felyne's nose for danger, meow! Of course, this same nose for danger gets us into trouble sometimes too! |
| Felyne Ballooner | Out in the field, you occasionally see balloons aloft from the Elder Dragon Observation Center, nya. With this Skill, the wonderful aura of the Felyne will attract these balloons towards you. I think, meow. Of course, it doesn't make much sense to have this Skill if no balloons are in the area... |
| Felyne Explorer | At the beginning of a High Rank Quest, you may start in a spot you've never seen before. But sometimes these spots are filled with unknown delights, nya. With this Skill, you will always head to these kinds of lovely undiscovered spots, meow. Just remember it has no effect on Low Rank Quests. |
| Felyne Exchanger | With this Skill activated, you will receive lots and lots of Pokke Points, meow! It's such a shame that the Guild staff in charge of trading points doesn't succumb to our kitty cat charms, meow. |
| Felyne Gastronomy | Felynes love fish, nya! With this Skill, you too will have the aura of a fish lover, and any time you eat fish, you will also recover some Stamina, nya! Fishies sure are tasty, meow! ...You don't have any do nya? |
| FelyneResilience[Hi] | With the Felyne Resilience Skill, if a monster knocks you down, you will always be able to get up safely, nya. I have no idea why this works though, meow. I guess it's because Felynes always land on their feet! |
| FelyneResilience[Lo] | With the Felyne Resilience Skill, if a monster knocks you down, you will always be able to get up safely, nya. I have no idea why this works though, meow. I guess it's because Felynes always land on their feet! |
| Felyne Temper | With this Skill activated, the spirit of the crazed gunslinger inside each and every Felyne will be awakened inside of you, and the power of your Bowgun or Bow will soar, meow! But it also means your shells or arrows won't travel nearly as far as usual, nya. That's the way things go when you're this small... |
| Felyne Kickboxer | By activating the Felyne Kickboxer Skill, the power of your kicks will skyrocket, nya! Kick! Kick! Kick! Meow! Kick! That's not to say your kicks were weak to begin with, meow. |
| Felyne Fighter | With the Felyne Fighter Skill activated, the power of your punch will be launched into the stratosphere, nya! Huh? Punch!? What's a punch you ask? Well, maybe you should try a gesture called a Taunt... Just don't get your hopes up for something too special, meow. |
| Felyne Vine Climber | Felynes are absolute specialists at climbing up to high places! With this Skill, you will be darting up vines like Jack up the beanstalk! You'll never have to worry about getting tired because this Skill also reduces Stamina reduction, meow! |
| Felyne Vine Master | When the Felyne Vine Master Skill is activated and you climb up a vine, small pests will no longer be able to pester you, meow. Imagine power so strong that the poking of insects will no longer cause you to fall. Amazing, nya! |
| Felyne Supercarver | With the Felyne Supercarver Skill activated, you'll never worry about being attack by monsters while carving again, nya! After all, you're the Supercarver! Just be careful...

Ingredient pairs
A meal is two ingredients, and their two categories decide the bonus, which changes with the number of chefs. Attack is base attack: +3 is as much as a Demondrug, +5 as a Mega Demondrug. A meal gives at most two bonuses, and they are lost when you faint.
