First, you need to unlock this crafting feature. Complete the main story to reach High Rank, then defeat your first Tempered monster. The game will clearly indicate this monster—the NPCs will highlight its formidable appearance and scars. After the victory, Gemma will contact you to discuss Artian weapons, initiating the crafting tutorial.
Each weapon type uses three components. You'll need at least one of each to craft a weapon, but the process is more nuanced. Components have rarity, element type, and an Artian bonus (attack or affinity boost). Only components of the same rarity can be combined. The weapon's elemental effect depends on the most frequent element among your components (e.g., two water and one lightning create a water weapon). Three different elements result in no elemental infusion.
Choosing between attack and affinity boosts depends on your playstyle. To craft, you'll need Artian materials.
How to Get Artian Materials in Monster Hunter: World
Obtaining Artian materials is straightforward: hunt Tempered monsters in High Rank. After defeating your first Tempered monster, one or two will typically roam each area. In-game notifications will alert you to their presence, and their blue map outlines make them easy to spot.
Defeating or capturing a Tempered monster yields Artian parts, found among your post-mission rewards (alongside decorations). Material rarity increases with your hunter rank. While there's no direct correlation between hunted monster and Artian drop type, hunt monsters you enjoy or need parts from for other gear.
