Artian Weapons

Artian Weapons are a mistake: The Artian weapons waste the great variety and artistic aspect, making the game look boring and ugly.

I just made a post about this literally one minute before you. I completely agree, most of the artian weapons don't match the aesthetics of the armor sets at all, and yet they are mandatory at end game for optimizing. I want to be able to layer my weapons like we can with armor.

Artian are not mandatory at all.

Did you miss the "for optimizing" part of that sentence?

Even then, at most you will cut off like 2 seconds of a hunt, if everything else is perfect, so unless you are a speed runner, they do not matter.

artian weapons may be good for customization but they lack built-in skills unlike monster weapons and their max sharpness is pathetic honestly.

they re just an option. especially for high ele attack , high affinity builds.

Unless you have a god roll, Artian weapons are just custom options comparable to the t8 monster weaps. They arent necessary at all.

But the Artians really suck for lots of weapons. You can't even control shelling type/power with the gunlances. You just get Normal power usually with Long on something that doesn't work well with long.

3 level 3 gem slots, even on a mediocre rolled artian, is still often a better pick up than any monster weapon with a 3,2, and 1 slot.

There is no "blast" type chargeblade available from any monster. not sure about some of the others, but if you want a blast weapon, for some its the only option you have.

I made a artian sleep lance myself for the same reason.

Nobody at the studio knew wtf they were doing with Wilds, so this is normal and expected.

I hate them too... not really the weapons, but mostly the materials because I want to hunt tempered monsters in order to get the hunter symbols, but I want to get as many decos as possible at the same time and these materials keep getting in the way.
