Are you eager to dive into the world of Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? These innovative weapons are a game-changer, offering unparalleled customization to match your preferred playstyle. But remember, Artian weapons are a late-game feature, so let's walk through everything you need to know to unlock and master them.
How to Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
The journey to crafting Artian weapons begins with unlocking this feature. You'll need to complete the main storyline to enter High Rank, and then continue your adventure until you defeat your first Tempered monster. This formidable foe is identifiable by its battle scars and the NPCs' comments about its toughness.
After overcoming this challenge, Gemma will approach you to discuss the Artian weapons, triggering a tutorial that explains everything you need to know. With Gemma's guidance, you'll learn how to craft these unique weapons. Each weapon type requires three components, and you must have at least one of each type to start crafting. But the system is more intricate than that.
Components come with a rarity value, an element type, and an Artian bonus. To combine components, they must share the same rarity value. The elemental effect of your weapon depends on the most common element among your components. For example, using two water and one lightning component will result in a water-based weapon. Use three water components for a stronger water infusion, but mixing three different elements will leave your weapon without any elemental infusion.
The Artian bonus can enhance either your attack power, which determines your weapon's overall damage, or your affinity, which boosts your critical hit chance. Your choice depends on your preferred combat strategy. To craft these weapons, you'll need to gather Artian materials.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds
Acquiring Artian materials involves hunting Tempered monsters in High Rank. Once you've defeated your first Tempered monster, you'll start encountering one or two in each area, identified by a blue outline on your map and notifications about their presence.
By defeating or capturing these Tempered monsters, you'll earn Artian parts alongside other rewards and decorations. Continuously farming these creatures will help you amass the materials you need. The rarity of these parts increases with your hunter rank, ensuring that your progress naturally escalates as you advance.
While there's no direct correlation between the type of monster you hunt and the Artian drops you receive, feel free to hunt the monsters you enjoy battling or those whose parts you need for other weapons or armor. Happy hunting, and may your Artian weapons lead you to victory!
