Crafting Artian Weapons Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

Curious about the new Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? These innovative weapons are a game-changer, allowing you to craft unique weapons with customizable stats and elements. However, they're a feature you'll unlock in the late game, so let's dive into everything you need to know.

How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

Unlocking the ability to craft Artian weapons starts with completing the main story and reaching High Rank. From there, you'll need to take down your first Tempered monster. The specific monster won't be spoiled here, but you'll easily recognize it by the NPCs' comments on its toughness and scars.

After defeating this formidable foe, Gemma will approach you to discuss Artian weapons, triggering a tutorial that walks you through the crafting process. Each weapon type requires three components, each with a rarity value, element type, and an Artian bonus. To craft a weapon, you must use components with matching rarity values. The element of your weapon is determined by the majority element among the components. For instance, using two water and one lightning component results in a water weapon. Using three water components will enhance the water infusion, but using three different elements will yield no elemental infusion at all.

The Artian bonus provides either an attack boost, enhancing your weapon's damage output, or an affinity boost, which increases your critical hit chance. Your choice depends on your preferred playstyle. To craft these weapons, you'll need to gather 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, you'll start encountering one or two in each area. They're marked on the map with a blue outline, and you'll receive notifications when they're nearby.

Defeating or capturing these monsters yields Artian parts, which you can find alongside your main mission rewards and decorations. As your hunter rank increases, the rarity of these parts also increases, naturally progressing with your gameplay. While there's no direct correlation between the monster you hunt and the type of Artian drops you receive, feel free to hunt the monsters you enjoy fighting or those you need parts from for other weapons or armor pieces.
