Curious about Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? These innovative weapons introduce a fresh crafting system that lets you tailor your gear with the stats and elements you desire. Artian weapons are a late-game feature, so let's dive into all the details you need to master them.
How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To unlock the Artian weapons feature, you must first complete the main story and reach High Rank. After that, you'll need to take down your first Tempered monster, which will be notably tough and scarred, as the NPCs will point out.
Upon defeating this challenging creature, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, triggering a tutorial that guides you through the process. You'll learn that each Artian weapon requires three components, each with a rarity value, an element type, and an Artian bonus. To craft a weapon, all components must share the same rarity value. The weapon's elemental effect is determined by the majority element among the components. For instance, using two water and one lightning component results in a water-based weapon, while three different elements yield no elemental infusion.
The Artian bonus offers either an attack or an affinity boost, allowing you to choose between higher damage output or increased critical hit chance, depending on your playstyle. To assemble these unique weapons, you'll need to gather Artian materials.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds
Obtaining Artian materials involves hunting Tempered monsters in High Rank areas. Once you've defeated your first Tempered monster, you'll start encountering one or two in each area, marked by a distinctive blue outline on the map. You'll receive notifications when they're nearby.
Defeating or capturing a Tempered monster rewards you with Artian parts, which you can find among the main mission rewards and decorations. As your Hunter Rank increases, the rarity of these parts also improves, ensuring a natural progression in your gear crafting. While there's no direct correlation between the monster you hunt and the specific Artian drops, you can focus on fighting the monsters you enjoy or need parts from for other equipment. Keep farming these formidable foes to gather the materials necessary to craft your ideal Artian weapons.
