Crafting Artian Weapons Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

Diving into the world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*? You'll definitely want to get acquainted with the new Artian weapons, a late-game feature that lets you craft weapons with tailored stats and elements. Let's break down everything you need to know about these game-changers.

How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

Before you can start crafting these unique weapons, you'll need to unlock the feature. First, you must complete the main story and reach High Rank. Then, you'll need to take down your first Tempered monster, which is identifiable by the NPCs' comments on its toughness and scars.

After defeating this formidable foe, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, leading you through a tutorial. You'll discover that crafting these weapons involves selecting three components per weapon type. Each component comes with a rarity value, an element type, and an Artian bonus.

To craft an Artian weapon, you'll need components with matching rarity values. The elemental effect of your weapon depends on the majority element among your components. For instance, using two water and one lightning component results in a water weapon, while three water components enhance the water infusion further. If you mix three different elements, your weapon won't have any elemental infusion.

The Artian bonus offers either an attack boost, which increases overall damage, or an affinity boost, which enhances your critical hit chance. Choose based on your preferred playstyle. To proceed, you'll need to gather Artian materials.

How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds

Acquiring Artian materials involves hunting Tempered monsters in High Rank. Once you've defeated your first Tempered monster, one or two will appear in each area. You'll receive notifications about their presence, and they're marked on the map with a blue outline.

Defeating or capturing a Tempered monster rewards you with Artian parts, which you can find among your mission rewards and decorations. As your hunter rank increases, the rarity of these parts will also rise, allowing for natural progression. While there's no direct correlation between the monster you hunt and the specific Artian drops, focus on the monsters you enjoy fighting or those whose parts you need for other gear.
