Artian Weapons Have Variable Stats

Artian Material Element Type and Artian Bonus

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

By default, all Artian Heavy Bowguns have the standard Normal, Pierce, and Spread Ammo. Forging the weapons with at least two of the same element will allow you to shoot ammo of that element. For some elements, having all three parts be the same element gives additional capacity and higher level.

How to Forge Artian Sheller

Combine Disc, Tube, and Device

Rarity Weapon
6 Artian Sheller I
7 Artian Sheller II
8 Greifen

To forge an Artian Heavy Bowgun, players must use 1 Disc, 1 Tube, and 1 Device of the same rarity. The weapon's final stats and element ultimately depend on the selected parts. Note that players cannot upgrade a forged Artian Heavy Bowgun to a higher-rarity weapon.

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.
