Azuz, the Everforge Firespring Festival

Occurs During the Firespring Inclemency

Monster Hunter Wilds - Azuz Firespring Festival

The people of Azuz celebrates the Firespring Inclemency by initiating the Firespring Festival to produce valuable ores. Each time they do this, you can claim a portion of the materials through the Festival Shares option from Roqul which you can use to upgrade your Artian Weapons.

Aside from the cutscenes showing the festivals, you can actually see this event play out in-game during the Firespring Inclemency where Various NPCs of Azuz will start gathering at the Everforge.

Smelt Ores for More Artian Upgrade Materials

If you wish to gather more upgrade materials for your Artian Weapons, it's best to smelt them using the Smelt Ores option from Roqul. This allows you to convert spare monster parts into Artian Weapon upgrade materials.
