Ready to delve into the world of Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter: World*? These unique weapons, brand-new to the game, let you craft custom gear with the stats and elemental properties you desire. It's a late-game pursuit, so let's break down everything you need to know.
First, you need to unlock this crafting system. Beat the main story, reach High Rank, and then defeat your first Tempered monster. The NPCs will give it away—they'll comment on its intimidating appearance and numerous scars. After the victory, Gemma will initiate a conversation, introducing you to Artian weapons and their crafting process.
Each weapon type requires three components. These components have rarity, element type, and an Artian bonus. Only components of the *same* rarity can be combined. The weapon's elemental effect depends on the most frequent element among your components. Two water and one lightning component will result in a water weapon; three water components create a stronger water infusion. Three different elements yield no elemental infusion.
The Artian bonus enhances either attack power or affinity (critical hit chance). Choose the bonus that best suits your playstyle.
How to Obtain Artian Materials in Monster Hunter: World
Acquiring Artian materials is straightforward: hunt Tempered monsters in High Rank. You'll typically find one or two roaming various areas after defeating your first Tempered monster. In-game notifications and a blue outline on the map will highlight their presence.
Defeating or capturing a Tempered monster yields Artian parts, found among your post-mission rewards, alongside decorations. The rarity of these parts increases with your hunter rank. While there's no direct correlation between hunted monster and Artian material type, hunt monsters you enjoy fighting or need parts from for other gear.
