Curious about the Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? These are an exciting new addition, offering players the chance to craft highly customizable weapons tailored to their preferred stats and elements. However, unlocking and mastering Artian weapons is a late-game endeavor. Let's dive into everything you need to know about these powerful tools.

How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

Unlocking the ability to craft Artian weapons requires you to first complete the main storyline and enter High Rank. From there, you must defeat your first Tempered monster. You'll recognize this challenge when NPCs comment on the monster's toughness and scars, but we won't spoil the surprise.

After defeating this formidable foe, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, which will trigger a tutorial. Through this tutorial and discussions with Gemma, you'll discover that she can now craft these unique weapons. Crafting an Artian weapon involves selecting three components, each corresponding to a specific weapon type. You must have at least one component of each type to proceed with crafting.

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 most prevalent element among the components. For instance, using two water components and one lightning component will result in a water weapon. Using three water components will enhance the water infusion, but using three different elements will yield a weapon with no elemental infusion.

The Artian bonus can provide either an attack boost, which increases the weapon's damage output, or an affinity boost, which enhances 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 once you're in High Rank. You'll need to hunt Tempered monsters, which start appearing in areas after you've defeated your first one. You'll receive notifications when a Tempered monster is nearby, and they're easily identifiable on the map with a blue outline.

Defeating or capturing these monsters will reward you with Artian parts, which you can find among the main mission rewards and decorations. As your Hunter Rank increases, the rarity of these parts will also increase, allowing for natural progression. While there's no strict correlation between the monster type and the Artian parts they drop, feel free to hunt the monsters you enjoy or need parts from for other gear. Keep farming to accumulate the materials you need for your perfect Artian weapon.
