Artian Weapons Guide For Beginners In Monster Hunter Wilds

by

If you’re finding the Artian Weapons system in Monster Hunter Wilds a little confusing, our Beginner’s Guide should provide some clarity for you.

In the upcoming Wilds game, a new type of craftable weapons called Artian Weapons are being introduced. Unlike the conventional weapon progression in the series, these Artian Weapons are created by locating and assembling individual parts. This process offers great flexibility and allows you to essentially design your own weapon, providing you with a wide range of possibilities. However, it’s important to note that while this sounds straightforward, the actual implementation might prove challenging!

Continue reading, and we’ll provide all the essential information needed for crafting and employing Artian Weapons.

How to Craft Artian Weapons

A great spot to kick off this Beginner’s Guide on Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds is indeed the fundamentals, isn’t it? To get started on crafting these weapons, you need to finish “Chapter 4-3: Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns.” This milestone opens up the chance to encounter Tempered Monsters, and once done so, simply chat with Gemma to learn the process of creating Artian Weapons.

To create an Artian Weapon, you’ll need to assemble three separate Artian components. The specific combination of these parts you choose will determine the type of weapon you’ll end up with. Here are some examples:

1. Combine Part A, Part B, and Part C to get the Sentinel Blade.
2. Assemble Part D, Part E, and Part F to obtain the Quantum Shield.
3. Merge Part G, Part H, and Part I to create the Orbital Staff.

Each combination yields a unique weapon!

  • Great Sword – Blade + Blade + Tube
  • Long Sword – Blade + Tube + Tube
  • Sword and Shield – Blade + Tube + Disc
  • Dual Blades – Blade + Blade + Disc
  • Hammer – Disc + Disc + Tube
  • Hunting Horn – Disc + Disc + Device
  • Lance – Blade + Disc + Disc
  • Gunlance – Disc + Disc + Device
  • Switch Axe – Blade + Blade + Device
  • Charge Blade – Blade + Disc + Device
  • Insect Glaive – Blade + Tube + Device
  • Light Bowgun – Tube + Device + Device
  • Heavy Bowgun – Disc + Tube + Device
  • Bow – Tube + Tube + Device

In the meantime, remember that every part you choose has a specific Rarity level. All the parts you select should share this same Rarity, as the final weapon’s Rarity will correspond to the one of your chosen parts. For instance, if you use two Rarity 7 Blades and a Rarity 7 Disc, you’ll end up with a Rarity 7 Artian Dual Blades.

It’s important to mention that the basic statistics for all Artian Weapons remain the same, irrespective of their type, and these are determined by their Rarity. Here are the base stats for Artian Weapons at Rarity 8:

  • Attack – 190 (Base stat without accounting for weapon type multipliers)
  • Affinity – 5%
  • Gem Slots – Three Lv.3 Slots

Elements and Bonuses                                                          

In addition to monitoring the Rarity of Artian Parts, it’s also important to consider their Types (Elements) and any unique advantages they may provide, known as the Artian Boost. Luckily, these aspects are quite clear-cut once you delve into them.

Each component possesses its unique Element, as we’ve discussed before. These could be Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, Dragon, Explosion, Sleep, or Paralysis. Using two components of the same Element will cause your completed Artian Weapon to embody that Element. For instance, a Fire Blade combined with a Fire Tube and any device will result in an Artian Insect Glaive having a Fire Element. To amplify the Elemental potency, ensure that all three components share the same Element.

From my gaming experience, if you’re like me and love crafting weapons, remember this: Having three totally unrelated Elements won’t give your weapon any Elemental power. Instead, ensure that at least two components share the same Element to make it effective in battle!

The Artian Bonus is divided into two types: Attack Enhancement and Compatibility Enhancement. Essentially, increasing the number of parts with Attack Enhancement raises your base attack by 5. On the other hand, each instance of Compatibility Enhancement boosts Affinity by 5%. You are free to combine these bonuses as you see fit.

Reinforcing Artian Weapons

One point we should discuss further in this Monster Hunter Wilds Beginner’s Guide is the Artian Weapons Refining system. To put it simply, refining these weapons is done by interacting with Gemma.

Every Artian Weapon has the ability to be enhanced up to a maximum of 5 times. Each enhancement will award a Reinforcement Bonus. To enhance, you simply need to spend specific ore materials like Argecite or Oricalcite. Each material is assigned a certain number of Points, with rarer materials having higher point values. The value of each material can be found next to its name in the Reinforce menu.

In case you find yourself running low on these ores urgently, you can acquire them through Festival Shares or by smithing them at the Smelting Foundry.

The number of Points you need can change depending on the kind and rarity of your weapon. For instance, a Rarity 6 Artian Saber will ask for 600 Points for its initial reinforcement. You’ll find the needed Points displayed directly under your weapon in the menu.

Hey there fellow gamer, let me share some insights about reinforcing weapons in our game. The stat bonuses you receive from this process are pure chance – I’ve found myself wondering what perk my sword will get next time I reinforce it! Just a heads up, once you’ve applied a reinforcement, there’s no going back; if the result isn’t exactly what you hoped for, you’ll have to create and reinforce another weapon. So, good luck with the roll of the dice in this part of the game!

How to Get Artian Parts

To conclude our Beginner’s Guide, let me inform you about sourcing Artian Weapon components in Monster Hunter Wilds. The primary method to acquire Artian Parts is by hunting and dismantling Tempered Monsters. As we previously discussed, these parts become available during the main storyline at Chapter 4.

In simpler terms, “Tempered Monsters” are unique creatures that wander the Forbidden Lands. They can be identified by certain distinctive features like scars or a faint glow. A more convenient way to locate them is through the Map menu, where their icons have a purple border, as illustrated with Tempered Rathalos. You also have the option to bookmark these monsters as “Investigations” for hassle-free hunting at a later time.

It appears that the harder a Tempered Monster proves to be, the greater the chance of acquiring Artian Parts. This means that by successfully hunting more difficult creatures and increasing your Hunter Rank, it becomes easier to obtain Artian Parts. However, keep in mind that this depends on your ability to handle these tougher monsters.

In addition, you can transform Artian Parts using the Melding Pot found in Suja, Peaks of Accord. This tool allows you to combine excess or unwanted parts into new random ones. While it’s not a reliable source for obtaining parts on its own, it’s useful when dealing with large amounts of unwanted items.

Let’s conclude our introductory tutorial about the latest Artian Weapons system within Monster Hunter Wilds. Now, you are fully equipped with all the essential knowledge required to craft and utilize these potent late-game weapons!
