Rusty Weapons Locations
| Weapon | Where to Find (Location) |
| Rusty Staff | Make your way to the Seat of the Water Sprite in Flamechurch, Crestlands, to unlock the Rusty Staff. As soon as you enter the ruins, you’ll see a chest on the floor. Reach the chest and get the Rusty Staff by navigating the ruins. |
| Rusty Axe | Go to Sai in Hinoeuma to unlock the Rusty Axe. Continue west until you reach the Quicksand Gaol. Navigate to the cave once you’re inside the dungeon. You will now face the Lord of the Sands. When you’ve defeated the boss, go to the center of the cave and open the chest to get the Rusty Axe. |
| Rusty Dagger | To get the Rusty Dagger, finish Partitio’s Scent of Commerce quest in Tropu’hopu, Toto’haha. Your reward will be the Grand Terry, a ship that allows you to navigate the seas. The Shipwreck of the Empress is located in the western portion of the Wildlands region within the Sundering Sea. The Rusty Dagger can be found by searching the shipwreck and finding one of the golden chests. |
| Rusty Bow | You must first defeat the Behemoth located in the Sinking Ruins of Toto’haha in order to obtain the Rusty Bow. Remember that this monster will petrify your party members, so make sure you have enough Herb-of-Grace-Buds in your inventory. Visit the Black Market in New Delsta Flats, Brightlands, and buy some Herb-of-Grace-Buds. You can find the Sinking Ruins in Toto’haha between the Nameless Village and the Southern Nameless Village Traverse. There’s an entrance to the ruins on the west side. Continue exploring the ruins until you find a chest at the bottom of a flight of stairs. To fight the Behemoth, approach the chest. You’ll get the Rusty Bow when you defeat the creature. |
| Rusty Sword | Make your way to the Weapon Shop in Oresrush, Wildlands, to get the Rusty Sword. Get the Sturdy Pickaxe from the miner in the store once you get there. Take the pickaxe to Winterbloom in the Winterlands. Find the woman by the rock on the eastern side of town and give her the pickaxe. As a thank you, she’ll give you the Rusty Sword. |
| Rusty Polearm | Make your way to Timberain, Leaflands, to get the Rusty Polearm. You’ll be challenged to a duel by a guard in the western part of the castle. You need to use Path Actions to get the Legendary Arms Exorcising Bow before engaging in combat. Using Hikari’s Challenge or Ochette’s Provoke will knock out the guard once you have the Legendary Arms. Alternatively, you can have a Throne at level 60 ambush him during the night to avoid any confrontations. Enter the house behind the guard and find the open doorway on the right side. You’ll find the Rusty Polearm at the end of the path. |
