How to Get Rusted Weapon Shard

Can Be Obtained from Tempered Monsters or Melding

In Monster Hunter Wilds, Rusted Weapon Shard can be obtained through the Melding feature “Relic Alchemy,” from tempered monster quest rewards, or through event quests.

There are three types of weapon shards categorized by rarity, but you'll want to collect the most powerful ones—Rare 8 parts. Therefore, it’s more efficient to focus on collecting “Ancient Weapon Fragment,” and we recommend using materials for Ancient Weapon Fragment when performing Melding.

Obtained from Tempered Monster Quest Rewards

By defeating tempered monsters, you can obtain weapon shards as quest rewards. The type of shard depends on the monster defeated, and there are 10 tempered monsters that can drop the Rusted Weapon Shard.

By clearing the event quest “King of a Faraway Sky”, you can obtain 3–8 Rusted Weapon Shards per run. As it's a limited-time quest, be sure to farm it while it's available.
