Curious about the new Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? These innovative weapons are a game-changer, offering the ability to craft with highly customizable stats and elements. Perfect for late-game players, let's dive into the details you need to master these powerful tools.
How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
Unlocking the Artian weapon crafting feature is your first step. You'll need to complete the main story and reach High Rank. From there, continue your journey until you successfully take down your first Tempered monster. You'll recognize this formidable foe by the NPCs' comments about its toughness and scars, but we won't spoil the surprise!
After defeating this beast, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, triggering a tutorial. Gemma will explain that she can now craft these unique weapons. Each weapon type requires three components, and you must have at least one of each type to start crafting. But the customization goes even deeper.
Each component has a rarity value, an element type, and an Artian bonus. To craft a weapon, all components must share the same rarity value. The element of your weapon is determined by the most common element among your components. For instance, using two water and one lightning component results in a water weapon. Use three water components for a stronger water infusion, but mixing three different elements will yield a weapon without any elemental infusion.
The Artian bonus offers a choice between an attack boost, which increases your weapon's damage output, or an affinity boost, which enhances your critical hit chance. Your playstyle will dictate your choice. To craft these weapons, you'll need Artian materials.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds
Obtaining Artian materials is straightforward but requires hunting Tempered monsters in High Rank areas. After defeating your first Tempered monster, you'll start encountering one or two in each area, identifiable by their blue outline on the map. You'll receive notifications when they're nearby.
Defeating or capturing these Tempered monsters will reward you with Artian parts, which you can find alongside other decorations in your mission rewards. The rarity of these parts increases with your hunter rank, ensuring progression as you advance. While there's no direct correlation between the monster you hunt and the specific Artian drops, feel free to hunt the monsters you enjoy or those whose parts you need for other gear.
