How to Combine Items in Dragon's Dogma 2

There are two main ways to combine items - directly from your inventory, or directly from storage (tips on that below!)

• To combine items from your inventory, open the Items menu and press X/Square on Controller, or Shift on PC. You can also select the item, and choose "Combine" from the pop-out menu.
• To combine items from Storage, visit an Innkeeper or the Storage in one of your homes.

This will open up the combination menu and show you what you can combine. Not everything can be combined, which is important to know!

How To Get Ripe Fruit and Aged Fish in Dragon's Dogma 2

If you're like me, you may have accidentally skipped past the tutorial for how items become ripe or aged, but you'll want to pay close attention because to make the best Roborants, you'll need ripe fruit or aged fish!

If you want Ripe Fruit or Ripe Fish - you'll need to carry Fruit (such as Apples, Grapes, Figs, Quince, Strawberries) and Fish (Such as Tideswimmer, Shorefish) in your inventory for a period of time, but not too long or they'll go rotten!

• Rotten Food DOES have a use: Combine it to create Latern Oil.

Generally, 1.5-2 in-game days is enough to ripen fruit. Beyond that it will go rotten, making it worthless for combination. Check your inventory every time you camp or sleep, and quickly combine them to create Dried Fruit and Dried Fish!

Tips and Tricks for Combining Items

There's a lot of options below, so here's a few quick tips for item combination!

• Save Saurian Tails and Cinnamon Bark to ensure you can make higher-tier Roborants later on!
• If you only have 1 Ripe or Aged item, you can put it into storage and it won't go rotten.
• Fruit or Fish in Storage won't age or go rotten.
• Dried Fish and Dried Food won't go rotten.
• Rotten Food is worth 3G, but if you combine 2, you'll get Lantern Oil, worth 35G.
• To keep your inventory small, you can deposit all of your fruit, fish, plants, and more into Storage and combine directly from storage!
