+-- What is a Ruststone, and an Ancient Stone? AQ.01 --+

A Ruststone is an item in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 that is meant to be

polished into weapons. In this new installment of Monster Hunter Freedom

there are 5 items that can be classified as "Rust Stones". A Flat Ruststone

will be polished into a Great Sword. A Small Ruststone will be polished into

a Sword and Shield. A Large Ruststone will be polished into a Hammer. A

Ruststone Rod will be polished into a Lance. A Ruststone will be polished

into a Light Bowgun. An Ancient Stone is an item in Monster Hunter Freedom

2, similar to a Ruststone, that is meant to be polished into rare weapons.

In this new installment of Monster Hunter Freedom there are 5 items that can

be classified as "Ancient Stones". An Ancient Flatstone will be polished into

a Great Sword. A Sm Ancient Stone will be polished into Dual Swords. A

Lg Ancient Stone will be polished into a Hammer. An Ancient StoneRod will

be polished into a Lance. An Ancient Stone will be polished into a Light

Bowgun. The difference? Nothing extravagant, the main difference is an

Ancient Stone is a rarer item and contains rarer weapons. Although a Rust

Stone can be found at HR2+ level, I can't say the same about Ancient stones.

You'll need to level your Hunter Rank to 4 before you can find one.

+-- Why write a guide for this? --- AQ.02 --+

In this guide you may notice how often I mention the first Monster Hunter

Freedom and compare this game to the first. One of the most illusive elements

of the first was the Ancient Stone, due to its rareness. Now, when I say

they're rare I mean if you don't know the procedure of obtaining set these

items chances are you will never find one. This confusion has caused alot of

people grief throughout Monster Hunter Freedom. Why write aFaq? I like to

write about anything in this game that will help you because I am a huge fan

of the series. I do it for you guys and gals. I'm a chef in real life so I

love to please people. Any Monster Hunter Chefs out there, holla!

+-- Where can I find These Stones? AQ.03 --+

There are only two ways to obtain one of these items. The first is the faster

and easier method, so I prefer this method. The first method is to mine. Now

the only place you can mine is the volcano and the tower. The volcano is best

because you will have ascess to it much earlier than the tower. Rust Stones

you can mine the Gathering Hall 4 Star Volcano. If you're after Ancient

Stones you'll have to mine in a Gathering Hall 6 Star Volcano quest. The

other method of obtaining one of these stones is by killing/repeling a

Lao-Shan Lung. There should be one in the rewards. And the higher star the

beast the rarer the stone should be. Here is a list of the areas that can

mine an Ancient/Rust Stone;

O=====================================O  O=================================O


 * Map : Volcano           |   |           Map : Tower           |

O=====================================O  O=================================O


 * Area |  Location of Mine Site      |   | Area |   Location of Mine Site  |

o--+--o  o--+--o


 * 6  |   At the northwest mine site |   |  1   |   At the east mine site  |


 * | & At the west mine site     |   |      | &At the west mine site  |




 * 8  |   At the northeast mine site |   |  4   |   At the north mine site |


 * | & At the north mine site    |   |--+--|


 * | & At the northwest mine site |  |  5   |   At the north mine site |

o--o--o  o--o--o

+-- How do I polish one of these Stones? -- AQ.04 --+

Once you've acquired a Stone save your game and head to the Equipment &

Crafting Shop, located in the east of the Pokke Village. Talk to the guy in

charge of crafting weapons. Second select "Weaponcraft", then

"Create Weapon". Depending on the type of stone, may it be alg Ancient stone

or a Rusted Flatstone, you'll need to select the appropriate weapon type. You

will need to scroll to the last page of the crafting list (simply press left

on the dialog pad). You should see a crafting option saying "??????", which

is a type of Rust or Ancient Stone. If you have both Rust and Ancient stones

of the same type there will be two options that read "??????". Once polished

the Stone becomes a weapon. There are random weapons that can be obtained in

an easier fashion, but you might find an Ancient Weapon...

+-- How do I do the Weapon Trick? -- AQ.05 --+

...Chances are, when you polished that weapon it was not what you wanted. Well

there is a way to change that. Remember earlier when I told you to save your

game? Well, there was a reason for that. If you didn't get the desired weapon

reset your PSP and reload your character. Go complete a quick gathering quest

and return to the Crafting Shop. Polish the stone, reset and complete the

quest until desired weapon is obtained.

+-- What about the Longsword, Hunting Horn, Gunlance and Bow? -- AQ.06 --+

Unfortunetly, there are no Rust or Ancient Longswords, Hunting Horns, Bows or

Gunlances. Sorry to break it to yeah. I wish I could change that too fellas.

I should note now that you CAN NOT polish a stone and find a Steel Ice spear

or a Daora's Fang. The only item in these Weapon Trees that can be polished

are the Rusted Great Sword, Rusted Sword, Rusted Hammer, Rusted Lance and the

Demonlock.
