First, you'll need to unlock this crafting feature. Complete the main story to reach High Rank, then continue until you defeat your first Tempered monster. We won't spoil which one, but the NPCs' reactions will give it away—they'll be commenting on its toughness and scars.

After defeating this formidable beast, Gemma will initiate a conversation, introducing you to Artian weapons and triggering a tutorial. You'll learn that she can now craft them. Each weapon type requires three components—at least one of each—to create. But there's more to it than that.

Components have rarity, element type, and an Artian bonus. Only components of the same rarity can be combined. The weapon's elemental effect is determined by the most prevalent element among your components. Two water and one lightning component result in a water weapon. Three water components create a stronger water infusion. However, using three different elements results in no elemental infusion.

The Artian bonus provides either an attack boost or an affinity boost. Attack increases raw damage, while affinity boosts critical hit chance. The choice depends on your preferred playstyle.

How to Obtain Artian Materials in Monster Hunter: World

Acquiring Artian materials is straightforward: hunt Tempered monsters in High Rank. Typically, one or two roam each area after defeating your first. In-game notifications will alert you to their presence, and they're easily identifiable on the map by their blue outline.

Defeating or capturing a Tempered monster yields several Artian parts, found among your post-mission rewards alongside decorations. Rarity increases with your Hunter Rank, ensuring natural progression. While there's no direct correlation between the hunted monster and the type of Artian drops, hunt monsters you enjoy fighting or need parts from for other weapons or armor.
