What are Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds?
The simple premise is that they’re more experienced and as such are tougher.
Therefore, you won’t immediately know what you’re getting when looking at a monster on the map.
Fortunately, you’re free to still see what rarity those materials will be.
Every Artian Weapon is built at Gemma using three parts that vary slightly depending on the weapon.
For example, the Insect Glaive requires a Blade, Tube, and unit.
Each part has an Element bang out and an Artian Bonus.
As long as the majority of the parts have the element you want, it becomes that element.
However, it won’t have an element if every part is a different element.
This is a complicated way of saying that part increases your weapon’s attack or affinity.
Unlike the Element key in, you’re able to mix and match the bonuses however you want.
This is similar to how Armor Spheres increase the defence of your gear.
Otherwise, the Azuz people will occasionally give you some via Festival Shares at the Smelting Foundry.
Using ores like Drearisite or Oricalcite with Gemma will give your Artian Weapons Reinforcement Bonuses.
Examples of these little buffs are increased attack, elemental damage, affinity, sharpness, etc.
And when you’re no longer using that Artian Weapon, you might dismantle it to get materials back.
With all that said, Artian Parts are only for creating weapons.
Which of course means you’ll still need to grindmonstersto get the armour you want.
This works well because it gives you the same bonus rewards as the first time you completed your quest.
The only RNG here is getting a quest with the bonus rewards you want.
