11Crabs are level 1 to 3 hostile wildlife in Windrose, found on Coastal Jungle beaches and inside coastal caves. They are weak individually but often spawn in clusters, making them a moderate threat to underequipped early-game players. Crabs drop Crab Meat (a cooking ingredient for the Crab Soup and Seafood Skewer recipes) and Crab Shell (a crafting material).22Combat Profile44PropertyValueThreat levelLow individually; medium in clustersAggressionHostile within ~15 meter detection radiusHealthLow; falls to 1-2 saber hits or 1 musket shot at gear tier 1-3Damage type weaknessSlash and Crude damage66Attack Patterns77AttackPatternCounterPincer snapQuick close-range claw attackBlock or parry; the snap has a small windup and is easy to readSide scuttleCrabs scuttle sideways to flank the playerTrack them with lock-on; their flank position is predictable99Drops1010DropQuantityUseCrab Meat1Cooking ingredient for Crab Soup and Seafood Skewer recipesCrab Shell1Crafting material for some armor recipes and ship gear; key discovery item1212Crab Shell Drop Notes1313Only the small daytime beach crabs that scuttle along the shoreline drop Crab Shell, and they do so at roughly a 5% chance per kill, so collecting Crab Shell is a grind of clearing many ordinary crabs rather than a guaranteed reward. The larger crab-shaped creatures that appear at night still yield Crab Meat but do not drop Crab Shell, so plan shell-farming runs during the day. Crab Shell counts as a discovery item, meaning your first one also unlocks its related recipes.1515Where to Find Crabs1717Coastal Jungle beaches (most common; clusters of 2 to 4 crabs)Coastal caves and copper mines (encounter while gathering resources)Tidal pools and rocky shorelines on most Coastal Jungle islandsInside Copper Caves and the Jungle Cave, where they ambush players who are gathering Copper Ore.1919Hunting Strategy2121Use AoE attacks (greatsword sweeps, halberd swings) to clear clusters efficientlyIf overwhelmed, retreat to high ground; crabs cannot follow onto elevated terrainCrabs respawn relatively quickly compared to Boars; coastal areas refill within an in-game day or twoStockpile Crab Meat for the Crab Soup recipe; it is a useful early-game food buff source2323Trophy Crab2525Crab Shell and Crab Meat are the inputs for the Trophy Crab, a base decoration. The recipe takes 1 Crab Shell, 2 Crab Meat, and 5 Wood. Once placed, the trophy grants a Comfort bonus that extends the duration of your rested buff, which makes the otherwise modest Crab Shell drop worth banking.2727TrophyCostEffectTrophy Crab1 Crab Shell, 2 Crab Meat, 5 WoodComfort bonus that lengthens the rested buff2929Cooking Uses3030Crab Meat feeds several Cooking Recipes once you have the right station.
