Crafting Artisan Weapons in Monster Hunter Rise

Ready to dive into the world of Artian weapons in *Monster Hunter: World*? These game-changers let you craft custom weapons with the stats and elements you desire, creating a truly unique playstyle. However, this crafting method is a late-game unlock, so let's break down everything you need to know.

First, you need to unlock the Artian weapon crafting. This requires completing the main story, reaching High Rank, and defeating your first Tempered monster. You'll know which monster it is—the NPCs will make it pretty clear with their comments about its toughness and scars.

After this victory, Gemma will initiate a conversation about Artian weapons, triggering a tutorial. You'll learn that Gemma can now craft them. Each weapon type uses three components; you'll need at least one of each to craft a weapon. But there's more to it.

Components have rarity, element type, and an Artian bonus. Only components with the same rarity can be combined. The weapon's elemental effect is determined by the most prevalent element among your components. For example, two water and one lightning component create a water weapon. Three water components create a stronger water infusion, while three different elements result in 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 Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter World

Acquiring Artian materials is straightforward: hunt Tempered monsters in High Rank. Usually, one or two roam each area after defeating your first Tempered monster. Game notifications will alert you to their presence, and you can identify them on the map by their blue outline.

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 the hunted monster and the type of Artian parts dropped, hunt monsters you enjoy fighting or need parts from for other weapons or armor.
