Dive into the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds* with the new and exciting Artian weapons. These weapons allow you to craft unique gear with customizable stats and elements, perfect for late-game enthusiasts looking to tailor their arsenal to their exact playstyle. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and craft these powerful weapons.
How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To start your journey with Artian weapons, you first need to unlock this feature. This requires you to complete the main story and reach High Rank. From there, you'll need to take down your first Tempered monster. You'll easily recognize this formidable foe by the NPCs' comments on its toughness and scars.
After defeating the Tempered monster, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, triggering a tutorial that will guide you through the crafting process. Gemma explains that each weapon type consists of three components, and you'll need at least one of each to craft a weapon. However, the customization doesn't stop there.
Each component comes with a rarity value, an element type, and an Artian bonus. To craft a weapon, components must share the same rarity value. The weapon's elemental effect is determined by the majority element among the components. For example, using two water components and one lightning component results in a water weapon. Using three water components enhances the water infusion, but using three different elements will yield no elemental infusion at all.
The Artian bonus offers a choice between an attack boost, which increases overall damage, or an affinity boost, which enhances your critical hit chance. This choice allows you to fine-tune your weapon to suit your preferred playstyle. To craft these weapons, you'll need Artian materials.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds
Obtaining Artian materials is straightforward: hunt Tempered monsters in High Rank. After defeating your first Tempered monster, one or two will typically appear in any given area, marked by a blue outline on the map and a notification of their presence.
Defeating or capturing these monsters yields 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, naturally progressing as you advance. While there isn't a direct correlation between the monster you hunt and the type of Artian parts it drops, you can focus on hunting monsters you enjoy fighting or need parts from for other weapons or armor pieces.
