    As far as the Artian GS goes, just take the first Artian I that you can craft and roll with it, because Artian II will be coming less than 5 hours later. And as for Artian II you will want either a Raw damage one (Easiest to roll +Att/Aff lines), Status one with preference on Sleep>Para=Blast (Harder to roll only Aff/Att, because Status is also in the pool) or DRAGON ELEMENT (for HR40 Arkveld) with all 3 pieces being dragon type. (As hard to roll as Status GS, for similar reason)

    Everything armor-wise in this page should be just ignored as G.Arkveld LR armor will carry you all the way, until Jin Dahaad armor at HR34, with how insanely good Flayer and Arkveld's Vitality is for Greatsword. Just keep it upgraded and eat for resistance against Jin Dahaad fight as he is the only one until that point in the game, who can literally oneshot you from full health. Heck, I used G.Arkveld LR armor until I got my hands on the HighRank version at HR41.

    Hello! We've updated the page on the Artian weapon element suggestion. Our High Rank Great Sword builds are tailored to players looking for recommendations in improving their setup as they progress. If you're still comfortable with an older build, it's alright to skip some progression builds and check back on our suggestions whenever you’d like. Hope this helps!

    How do you get an artian weapon with all elements as displayed here? Also when can I meld for specific decos? I've been unlucky with random decos so far. Currently at HR. Perhaps that build will be obsolete soon anyways as it's intended for HR 20 to 40. Still using guardian arkveld set for now paired with rathalos gs and I'm still doing fine.

    Thanks for pointing this error out! The G. Fulgur Vambraces has been updated to display the intended information. Please consider looking at our other guides as well!

    the G Fulgur gloves a. does not have 2 decoration sockets. Did you mean to put the b variant instead for 1 less agitator?
