don't know if it is still like it was in MH and MHFU, but there was a 1 : 6 ratio to get a rusted weapon...means farming them, then creating weapons from the rustshards (don't forgett to save bevor) and the 6. created weapn then should be an rusted or ancient...but as said...don't know if it still is like that 'cause the weapons now get directly transformed after clearen the quest.
