Crafting Artian Weapons Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

Curious about the Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? These innovative weapons are a fresh addition to the game, offering players the ability to craft highly customizable gear with tailored stats and elements. Artian weapons are a late-game feature, so let's dive into the details you'll need to know to start crafting these powerful tools.

How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To unlock the Artian weapon crafting feature, you must first complete the main storyline and reach High Rank. After that, continue your journey until you face your first Tempered monster. You'll know you've encountered the right one when the NPCs remark on its toughness and scars.

After defeating this formidable creature, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, leading to a tutorial on how to craft them. Each weapon type requires three components, and you need at least one of each to begin crafting. However, the process is more intricate than it sounds.

Components come with a rarity value, an element type, and an Artian bonus. To use components together, they must share the same rarity value. The elemental effect of your weapon depends on the most prevalent element among your components. For example, using two water components and one lightning component results in a water weapon. Using three water components amplifies the water infusion, but using three different elements results in no elemental infusion at all.

The Artian bonus enhances either your attack or affinity. Attack increases the overall damage your weapon can deal, while affinity boosts your critical hit chance. The choice between these bonuses allows you to customize your playstyle. To craft these 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. Once you've defeated your first Tempered monster, you'll start encountering others marked with a blue outline on the map, and you'll receive notifications when they're in the area.

By defeating or capturing these Tempered monsters, you'll acquire Artian parts. Continue farming these monsters to gather the materials you need. The parts you earn will be listed alongside your main mission rewards and decorations. As your hunter rank increases, so does the rarity of the Artian materials you can obtain, naturally progressing as you advance in the game. Although there's no strict correlation between the monster you hunt and the types of Artian drops, you can focus on hunting monsters you enjoy or need parts from for other weapons or armor.
