Dive into the thrilling world of *Monster Hunter Wilds* and explore the innovative Artian weapons system, a late-game feature that revolutionizes your weapon crafting experience. These Artian weapons allow you to tailor your arsenal with specific stats and elements, providing you with unparalleled customization options. Let's delve into how you can unlock and master this feature to enhance your gameplay.
How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To unlock the Artian weapons feature, you first need to complete the main storyline and reach High Rank. After achieving this, you must conquer your first Tempered monster. This encounter is crucial, as it not only challenges your skills but also triggers a pivotal conversation with Gemma about Artian weapons. Following this discussion, you'll be introduced to the Artian weapon crafting tutorial, guiding you through the process.
Crafting an Artian weapon involves assembling three components, each with its own rarity value, element type, and Artian bonus. To create a viable weapon, the components must share the same rarity value. The elemental effect of your weapon is determined by the predominant element among your components. For example, using two water and one lightning component results in a water-based weapon, whereas using three different elements negates any elemental infusion.
The Artian bonus enhances either your attack power or affinity (critical hit chance), allowing you to customize your weapon according to your preferred playstyle. Whether you're aiming for higher damage output or increased critical hits, the choice is yours. However, to craft these weapons, you'll need to gather Artian materials.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds
Acquiring Artian materials is straightforward but requires you to hunt Tempered monsters in High Rank areas. After defeating your first Tempered monster, you'll start encountering more in various regions, identified by their blue outlines on the map. Defeating or capturing these monsters yields Artian parts, which you can farm to collect the materials needed for your desired weapons.
These parts are listed among your main mission rewards and decorations, with their rarity increasing as your hunter rank progresses. While there's no strict correlation between the monster you hunt and the specific Artian drops, you can focus on battling your preferred monsters or those needed for other gear. Keep hunting, and you'll naturally gather the materials required to craft your perfect Artian weapon.
