Artian weapons are one of the most exciting additions in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, offering players unprecedented customization in crafting powerful, tailored gear. These weapons are not available early on—they’re a late-game feature designed for hunters who have progressed deep into the campaign. Once unlocked, they allow you to create weapons with specific elemental affinities, boosted stats, and unique bonuses that align perfectly with your playstyle. Let’s break down everything you need to know to start forging these advanced weapons.
How to Unlock and Craft Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
To begin crafting Artian weapons, you must first complete the main story and unlock High Rank. After that, continue progressing until you encounter and defeat your first Tempered monster. We won’t spoil which monster it is, but you’ll know it when you see it—NPCs will comment on its intimidating appearance, scars, and overwhelming presence.
After the battle, Gemma will initiate a conversation with you, introducing the Artian weapon system. This triggers a tutorial that walks you through the mechanics. From this point forward, Gemma becomes your go-to blacksmith for crafting these high-tier weapons.
Each weapon type requires three distinct components to craft. You must possess at least one of each component type for the chosen weapon. However, not just any components will do—they must all share the same rarity level to be compatible. Mixing rarities won’t work, so plan your builds accordingly.
The elemental属性 of your final weapon depends on the elements present in the components. If two out of three components have Water element, your weapon will carry a Water infusion. Use three Water components, and you’ll get a stronger elemental effect. However, if all three components have different elements, the weapon will lose elemental infusion entirely—so balance is key.
Each component also features an Artian bonus—either an Attack boost or an Affinity boost. Attack increases your base damage output, while Affinity improves your critical hit chance. Your choice should reflect your preferred combat style: raw power or high-risk, high-reward crits.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds

Acquiring Artian materials is straightforward but requires consistent hunting. Once you’ve defeated your first Tempered monster, additional Tempered variants will begin appearing across the map. You’ll receive in-game notifications whenever one spawns, and they’re easy to spot on your map thanks to a glowing blue outline around their icon.
Defeat or capture these Tempered monsters to earn Artian parts as rewards. These drop alongside other mission loot and decorations, and their rarity scales with your Hunter Rank. As you progress, you’ll naturally gain access to higher-rarity components, enabling more powerful weapon builds.
While there’s no confirmed direct link between a specific monster and the type of Artian material it drops, you’re free to hunt the Tempered beasts you enjoy fighting or those that drop parts for other gear you’re working on. This flexibility lets you farm efficiently without being locked into repetitive grinds.

With the right components in hand, the Artian weapon system gives you full control over your loadout’s performance. Whether you're chasing maximum elemental damage, raw power, or crit-heavy builds, this system rewards thoughtful planning and dedicated hunting. Get out there, take down those Tempered monsters, and forge the ultimate weapon in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
