RTN Weapons Guide: How to get the best weapon in the Wilds If you have reached the true endgame of Wilds , then you must have heard about RTN weapons. These weapons are much better than normal crafted variants, especially for Elemental builds . RTN weapons give you more control and extra damage, as well as higher-tier gem slots . But maxing them out is very RNG-based , which makes it difficult to get the right weapon.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process of RTN weapons crafting and how you can get the right reinforcement stats .
How to Unlock RTN Weapons?
To unlock RTN weapons you must reach at least Chapter 4 and complete the “Wyvern Sparks and Rose Thorns” mission. This is where you will find Tempered Monsters and the RTN weapon crafting option.
At the start, you’ll only get parts for lower-tier RTN weapons , but as you progress to higher ranks , you ‘ll get the chance to access Rarity 8 weapons.
๐Tip:Rarity 7 weapon fragments get upgraded to Rarity 8 parts. So there is no point in working hard on lower-rarity weapons.
How to do RTN Weapon Crafting and Reinforcing?
Keep these three things in mind before crafting and reinforcing RTN weapons:
1. It is necessary to keep all three Weapon Parts in the same element
If you keep all three weapon parts in the same Elemental type , you will get +30 elemental attack power . This is a free damage boost , which would not be right to ignore.
You can break this rule if you are only building a raw damage build , but in most cases this is the best strategy.
2. Attack vs Affinity โ What to choose?
In RTN weapons you have to maintain a balance between Attack and Affinity .
- If your armor and skills are already giving high Affinity, then choosing 1 Affinity + 2 Attack parts would be better.
- If you want more critical hits, choose 3 Affinity parts .
3. Seed System of RTN Weapon โ Stats are already fixed!
When you craft an RTN weapon, its entire upgrade path is already fixed . This is called the “Seed System” .
๐Meaning:Even if you save-scum (save/load) repeatedly, the stats will not change!
But there is a way you can unlock new stats :
- Craft a new RTN weapon (but with different parts).
- This will change the weapon seed and when you create your desired weapon again, its stats will be different.
How to Manipulate RTN Weapon Stats? (Step-by-Step Guide)
Step 1: Save the manual first
If you’re experimenting, make a manual save first . This way you can go back if something goes wrong.
Step 2: Craft your Desired RTN Weapon
Choose your favorite RTN weapon and pay attention to which parts you use.
โกExample:If you’re makinga Paralysis Longsword, choose allAffinity + Paralysis parts .
Step 3: Reinforce and Check Stats
Go to the Smithy and reinforce the weapon.
- If the stats are perfect, save and play.
- If the stats are not good, return to the main menu without saving.
Step 4: Weapon Seed Change เคเคฐเฅเค
Now craft a new RTN weapon , but use different random parts in it. This will change the weapon seed .
Example:Previously you crafted with parts having Affinity + Paralysis, now make any random weapon with parts having Sleep + Fire.
Step 5: Recreate your Desired Weapon
Now again create your desired weapon from the same Affinity + Paralysis parts.
Step 6: Reinforce and Check
Now reinforce the weapon again and see if the stats have changed or not.
If the stats still aren’t correct, repeat Step 4 and Step 5 until you get perfect stats.
๐Tip:Sometimes youmay have to repeat this process 10-20 times to get the correct stats.In extreme casesit may even take100+ attempts !
RTN Weapons Farming โ How to Get More Parts Quickly?
Because you ‘ll need a lot of weapon fragments to max out RTN weapons , it’s important to know how to farm them quickly.
Best Farming Method: Great Hunts (Dual Hunts)
The fastest way is to do Dual Hunts , where there is at least one Tempered Apex Predator .
Best Monsters for Farming:
- On account
- Raow
- The Dune
- Newra
- Think Thead
You can easily get 8+ ancient weapon fragments from these Hunts .
โ๏ธTip:If Hunt is not visible,change the region’s weather to “inclemency”.
RTN Weapons: Are they always the best?
RTN weapons are not always the best. Some crafted weapons may be better than these.
๐ฅExample:Crafted versions of the Gunlance are better than RTN weapons, as the RTN Gunlancecan only reach up to230 attack power .
Similarly, coating and ammo types also depend on the Elemental combinations.
โก Example:
- Power coating โ Only Lightning and Dragon bows are available.
- Piercing coating โ Available only for Ice bows.
- Close-range coating โ Available only for Water and Fire bows.
Final Thoughts โ Would it be right to make RTN Weapons?
RTN weapons can be some of the best weapons in the game if crafted correctly . But there is a lot of RNG involved and it can take hours to get the right stats.
If you want to create an ultimate endgame build and don’t mind grinding, RTN weapons are for you! ๐
