Overview
Modest Fishball Soup is an entry-level quality variant of Fishball Soup, a soup and porridge dish in Crimson Desert. This version restores +340 HP when consumed, compared to +340 HP for the standard version. It also grants Ice Resistance Lv 4 for 1 min.

Tips
Consume Modest Fishball Soup before boss fights involving ice-element attacks to gain the Ice Resistance Lv 4 buff for 1 min.
Gather ingredients in bulk while exploring. Fishing, hunting, and foraging all provide cooking materials needed for this recipe.
Purchase Salt from vendors since these ingredients cannot be gathered in the wild (for Oil and Salt) or are time-consuming to collect.
