Artian Weapons Have Variable Stats

Artian Material Element Type and Artian Bonus

The values listed above are the base stats of the Artian Switch Axes. It is possible to get better stats by having parts of the same Element Type and Artian Bonuses. Artian Weapons can be further reinforced to provide additional stats. Artian weapons also have no innate skills, but can fit more weapon decorations.

Matching the same three elements for Artian Switch Axes will give an additional Element +20.

Obtain Artian Parts From Tempered Monsters

Tempered Monster Artian Materials

Defeating tempered monsters rewards players with Damaged Weapon Shards, Rusted Weapon Shards, and Ancient Weapon Fragments, depending on the monster's difficulty. When appraised after a quest, they will give Artian parts, and the rarity of these parts will depend on the type of item received. You can also use melding to get more desirable parts.
