\ Introduction (INTRO) /
O=======================================================================O
Now, I’ve only written one faq before and that was for a different game.
I probably would have just left it at that, but I decided I was sick of
seeing Ruststone topics on the message boards. Seeing as how ancient
stones and ruststones are basically the same thing, I’m going to explain
everything based on ruststones. Just think of ancient stones as hard-class
ruststones.
O===========================================================================O
\ Ruststones (RSTN) /
O=======================================================================O
Ruststones are items that when you go to the the weapon smith, can be
potentially made into rare weapons, known as rusted weapons. These weapons
tend to get overshadowed by other, much better weapons after you reach G Rank,
but they are decent dragon elemented weapons that can be gotten early on
and are fairly useful against the Elder Dragons. While in this game, most
of the rustedweapons available in MHF did recive a significant drop in
usefulness, due to the negative affhnity, some did not. Most noteable among
those that did not is Eternal Strife, which can be very useful on the Elder
Dragons. Another new addition to the rusted line is the addition of the elder
dragon elemental offshoots. Teostra, Lunastra, and Kushala Daora all have
their own weapons in the rusted weapon lines, and these weapons all tend to
be significantly better than their dragon elemented counterparts

——» The Volcano «—— /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(FRM2)_/¯¯
The best, and earliest place to farm for ruststones is
in the volcano. The volcano is unlocked after clearing the 3*elder urgent
where you hunt the blangonga. Ruststones can be farmed in the volcano in
one of five places. There are 3 areas to mine in area 8, and 2 in area 6.
The X’s on the walls are very obvious. There are only these 5 mining
locations in those areas, so don’t worry about potentially mining the wrong
X. If you need more detail than that, I will refer you to the excellent maps
on the gamefaqs MHF2 FAQ page. Ancient Stones can be found in the volcano in
the same locations HR4 and up.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(FRM3)_/¯¯

1) Mine the tower. Occationally you will find some in areas 1, 4, or 5,
but seeing as how there are fewer mining spots in the tower, you would be
better off simply mining the volcano. Also, the volcano is available sooner.

2) Kill Lao. Occationally you’ll get some in rewards

——» Polishing «—— /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(CRW2)_/¯¯

The first thing you need to know is how to go about polishing ruststones.
It’s a simple process, but you’d be surprised at how many people can’t figure
it out. First figure out what kind of a ruststone you have:

Flat Ruststone -> Greatsword

Ancient Flatstone -> Greatsword

Small Ruststone -> Sword and Shield

Sm Ancient Stone -> Dual Swords

Large Ruststone -> Hammer

Lg Ancient Stone -> Hammer

Ruststone Rod -> Lance

Ancient StoneRod -> Lance

Ruststone -> Light Bowgun

Ancient Stone -> Light Bowgun

Next, SAVE YOUR GAME! Then, go talk to the weapon crafter. Pick the option to
Create Weapon, then select the type of ruststone you have. At the end of
the list, there should be an weapon creation entitled: ??????. Select it,
and create weapon. This is what is know as polishing. Make sure you polish
all of the ruststones/ancient stones that you currently have. Don’t save yet.

——» Crafting A Rusted Weapon «—— /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(CRW3)_/¯¯

Now, chances are when you polished the ruststone, you didn’t get a rusted or
worn weapon. You probably got something along the some crappy weapon that
you have long since crafted beyond. This is NOT a rusted weapon. If you
just crafted anything other than one of the following weapons, you are going
to want to go to your bed and quit WITHOUT saving. This is why I told you
to save it ahead of time.

Rusted Great Sword
Worn Greatsword
Rusted Sword
Worn Blades
Rusted Hammer
Worn Hammer
Rusted Lance
Worn Spear
Demonlock
Island of the Gods

After restarting your game, go and complete one quest for every
ruststone/ancient stone you have. It can be a training quest, a hunting
quest, etc. but go do one. The easiest one to do is a gathering quest,
just drop off the pawpass and you’re done. Now go back to your bed, save
polish, and see if you get a ruststone this time. If you did, you can go
to the next step. If not, go to your bed, quit without saving, and do it
all over again. Either way, DON’T save the game after polishing.
_________________________________________________________________________
——» Getting The RIGHT Weapon «— /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(CRW4)_/¯¯

If you’ve been following these instructions so far, you’ve been polishing
all of your ruststones every time you polished any, and chances are, you
didn’t get the rusted weapon you wanted, and if you did, it probably
wasn’t on the first polish. If it was, congratulations. You can save now.
If it wasn’t (which is far more likely,) read on.

Say for instance, that the fourth ruststone you polished that round
turned into a rusted weapon. If you save then you will be wasting 3
ruststones and the one you polished might not even be the one you wanted.
Remember the number of the ruststones you polished before getting the rusted
weapon, and go to your bed and quit without saving once. Reload, and do an
equal number of quest to the number of ruststones you had to polish before
polishing the one that yielded the rusted weapon. Make sure that this time
when you do quests that you don’t save. That way, if you make a mistake, you
can always go to your bed, quit, and try again, this time following the
instructions more closely.
Anyways, after doing the quests, take the rusted weapon you want to make
and polish that ruststone. If you get it, great! SAVE NOW!
If you didn’t, you messed up somewhere. Go back and read this again.
Once you’ve got your rusted weapon, the hard part is over, and you can
concentrate on obtaining the materials necessary for your chosen weapon.
_________________________________________________________________________
——» Why It Works «—— /
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(WIWR)_/¯¯

When you start a new game, a random number somewhere between
1 and around 60 is chosen. Each time you do a quest, or polish a ruststone,
that number goes down by one. When the number reaches 1, if you polish a
ruststone, you will get a rusted weapon. Either way, when you lower that
number by one either by polishing, or doing another quest the number is
reset to another random number between 1 and 60. Random in this case means
some reason we don’t understand. If polish 5 ruststones and you end up
getting 2 rusted weapons, you will always get get a rusted weapons on same
polishes, no matter how many times you reset the game, so long as you don’t
do quests to get the number down to zero without polishing.

This is easier explained with numbers, so say for example, that the ruststone
counter starts at 7. This is just an example, so in real life 7 has no special
meaning. You would have no idea that the counter was at 7. Anyways, you polish
your 4 ruststones. Each time you polish a ruststone, it reduces the counter by
1. So, 7-4=3. Each time you reset, the number on the counter goes back to 7.
So, no matter how many times you reset your game, the counter would never
reach 0 because 7-4 is always equal to 3. The other way to reduce your counter
though, is by doing quests. So, seeing as how you had originally polished 4
ruststones, you do 4 quests and save, bringing your counter to 3. Now, when
you go to polish, the third ruststone you polish will always be a rusted
weapon, no matter how many times you reset your game.

Now, if you don’t feel like wasting those two other ruststones, you could
reset your game, do 2 quests, then polish the ruststone of your choice. You
will get a rusted weapon, because 3-2=1-1=0.

Alternativly, you could simply reload the game and polish 3 ruststones again,
making sure that the ruststone you wanted was the third one.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\_(FAQS)_/¯¯
Q: Is there a rusted weapon for bows/LS/HH?
A: No.

Q: I did what you said, but I couldn’t get a rusted weapon, why?
A: You didn’t follow the directions. Go back, read more carefully, and
try again

Q: Do you need to bring the ruststones on the missions with you?
A: No. There is no reason you should be carrying around a ruststone for
any reason, unless you just found it and are waiting for the mission to
end. Just put it in your box.

Q: Does the method from the last game still work?
A: If you are talking about the method from last game where once you get
a ruststone, you reset and polish the stones again, making sure that
the one you want is last, then yes. However, this method is a waste
as you are basically throwing money and ruststones away for no real
reason.
