PSA: Ruststones (MHFU)
Channel: HeadHunter455
Date: 13/05/2023

Which type of stone you use doesn't matter in terms of the counter, so, once you hit "0" on the counter, you can polish ANY stone and it will give you the appropriate type, there are no stone specific counters.

The weapons aren't always called "Rusted," it's just easier to group them all together that way.

Polishing rusted weapons will require a LOT of Earth Crystals. If you're mid to late game you may have hundreds of them, but early on you may need to do some mining. You'll need around ~60 to polish a weapon, depending on the path.

These are the different types of Ruststones:
Flat Ruststone: GS or LS (Ancient Blade or a Daora GS or Daora LS)
Ancient Flatstone: GS (Epitaph Eternal or Teostra del Sol)
Small Ruststone: SNS (Eternal Strife or Daora's Maelstrom or Fire and Ice)
Sm Ancient Stone: DBs (Eternal Sacrifice or Silhouette Sabers)
Large Ruststone: Hammer (Breath Core Hammer or Luna's Skirt)
Lg Ancient Stone: Hammer (Pulse Crusher Core or Daora's Hyperborea)
Ruststone Rod: Lance (Undertaker or Daora's Regulus)
Ancient StoneRod: Lance (Sky Scraper or Teostra's Fire)
Ruststone: LBG (Demonlock)
Ruststone: LBG (Island of the Gods)

If you're able to, emulation is a great way to play, I highly recommend you use PPSSPP: https://www.ppsspp.org/
