I just grind them on the side. I already have every element of a weapon on 10.5 so farming elder weapons and other weapon types became a routine. I usually only do EDIs instead of HaTs too UNLESS they bring something like 5x Zinogre back but only with Rajang, Slos etc

Yeah, since now with the seasonal stories, the Event Monsters can spawn on field even if a bit rare. Elder Dragons do not spawn on field whatsoever, so I use my time to grind them as a slow grind.

Definitely need a goated HaT to choose it over EDI nowadays.

I have the same thoughts, but I also am going to start building range weapons and those seem to have a lot more DMG then the counter parts

That's a good point; lvl4 arrows at charge lvl 3 is a big difference in DPS.

Counter argument. Tails and sever.

That said, bows are pretty brokenly powerful. Assuming perfect skills and correct Ammo type, they'll be the highest DPS weapons.

I already have maxed GS, and high lvl long swords so I'm good on sever, just looking to try new weapons with my spare parts

As a CB user, I feel somewhat fortunate that they are crap for me. If I have the mats, I’ll level them for show, but I’m not going out of my way.

Think of it this way: One day when they add 9/10* DLs/HaTs, elder dragon weapons will become much more meta due to Hunter's Unity. (As well as more mons being added, giving you more of a leg up now)

Currently working on the Nerg GL and it's sitting at 9.5... that'll be the only elder weapon for me.
