How to Forge Artian Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds
Upon claiming at least one Artian Part, you can return to Gemma and two new tabs will be available titled:
When forging an Artian Weapon from scratch, you must have the required types of parts for the weapon type you want to make. The four types of parts areblades, tubes, discs, and devices. Each of the 14 weapons will require a different trio of these parts. For example,Dual Bladesrequire 2 blades and 1 discwhile aSword and Shieldneeds a blade, a tube, and a disc.
Each part will also have anelemental typeassociated with it along with anArtian Bonusthat will be provided to the weapon. These features are integral to forging the exact type of Artian Weapon you want. To ensure the element type you want the weapon to have, make surethe majority of your parts are of that desired element. 2 out of the 3 partscan be the same element to achieve the desired result. However, if all 3 are different, the weapon will haveno elementtied to it.
The Artian Bonus comes in two forms:Attack Infusion or Affinity Infusion. Having all three parts with the same bonus will prioritize that specific feature of the weapon, and using a mix of part bonuses can create a relatively balanced weapon overall.
Once you have your desired Artian Weapon crafted, it can then bereinforcedto increase its potential. All Artian Weapons can be reinforced up to5 times. To do so, you are going to need certainreinforcement materialsto accumulate a total of3,000 pointsto reinforce your Artian weapon to the next level. Those materials are:
Reinforcement will provide your weapon with a randomReinforcement Bonus. These bonuses are:
Depending on what type of weapon you may be looking for and how your build may be structured around it, each of these boosts has its uses. If you are looking for an element-based build, then the reinforcements you should be on the lookout for should predominantly be Element Boost.
There is absolutelyno wayof guaranteeing what kind of reinforcement bonus you get on your Artian Weapons. Each time a weapon is reinforced, the bonus ischosen at random, and itcannot be reverted.
Not everyone will get lucky with their first Artian Weapon reinforcements. Luckily, they can bedismantledat any point, and they willrefund every single one of the reinforcement materialsyou used on that specific Artian Weapon. While it does not refund the Artian Pieces needed to craft a new weapon from scratch, it at least makes it easier to obtain more materials to reinforce any new weapons you craft. This ensures you can have the best chances of getting the right Artian Weapon with the best possible reinforcements to suit your build.
