How to Efficiently Farm Tempered Monsters Quests

Solo Multiplayer

1. Progress through Chapter 6-1
2. Clear two Tempered Monster Side Missions in each area
3. Rest at a camp to refresh quests until high-reward ones show up
4. When a target quest appears, convert it into a proper quest and save it
   ┗You can register it as a Field Survey
5. Complete the Field Survey and repeat

While solo play may take longer to find optimal quests, you can save quests as Field Surveys and run them later at your convenience. If you're open to multiplayer, running both methods in parallel is highly recommended for efficiency.

Clear Chapter 6-1 and Two Tempered Monsters Side Missions

By clearing Chapter 6-1, you unlock access to Rarity 8 parts. Additionally, completing side missions featuring two Tempered Monsters on each map will make multi-monster Field Surveys appear, which you can then turn into quests.

Search for a Lobby to Find Quests

Talk to Alma and search for a lobby from the lobby move menu. Afterward, talk to Alma again, and check if your target quest is available in 'LobbyMembersQuest.' If not, search again and move to another lobby.

For the 2-monster hunts, lobbies with advanced players tend to have more of them. When searching for lobbies, start with stricter conditions, and if you don’t find any, loosen the search criteria.

Collecting Relic Ticket is Not Recommended

※The time required for ticket exchange may vary depending on luck

"Gold Relic Tickets" can be used to exchange for Ancient Weapon Fragments through Melding. However, collecting 'Nightflower Pollen' for Gold Relic Ticket exchange takes time and requires a large number of guild points, so it is not recommended.

Efficient Melding After HR100 with Part Selection

After reaching HR100, specify 'Ancient Weapon Fragment・◯' for Melding and guarantee the desired parts. This increases acquisition efficiency, so Melding for Artian parts is recommended after HR100. However, the rare 8 'Ancient Weapon Fragments' can be obtained starting from HR50, so if your HR is not sufficient, Melding earlier than HR100 is also an option.

How to obtain Ancient Weapon Fragment

How to obtain Ancient Weapon Fragments in Monster Hunter Wilds is through Melding "Meld Relics" and Tempered Monsters quest rewards.

Obtained as Tempered Monsters Quest Rewards

By defeating Tempered Monsters, you will receive weapon pieces as quest rewards. The weapon fragments you receive differ depending on the monster you defeat, and the Ancient Weapon Fragment can be obtained by defeating Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, Jin Dahaad, Arkveld, Gore Magala.

Tempered Monsters will appear on the field from HR21. However, Tempered Monsters that give Ancient Weapon Fragments only appear after Hunter rank 41.

Obtained from Melding "Meld Relics"

Melding "Meld Relics" is a method of melting weapon pieces using materials. The function will be released after Chapter 5-1, but Melding of Ancient Weapon Fragment is possible from HR50. Therefore, if you want to collect Artian parts right away, we recommend collecting parts while increasing your HR by hunting Tempered Monsters.

You can specify parts after HR100

When you reach HR100, you will be able to create the specified parts with Melding. While the parts of Ancient Weapon Fragments are uncertain because they are obtained randomly, If you can specify them, the efficiency of Artian selection will be greatly increased.
