Octopath Traveler 2 has six rusty weapons that unlock armsmaster skills. We list the locations of the rusty sword, polearm, dagger, axe, bow, and staff.
Armsmaster is one of the two secret jobs in Octopath Traveler 2 that requires you to collect items in order to unlock the skills. Notably, you’ll need to grab rusty weapons that a blacksmith will reforge for you. This secret job is a must-get, being great on Hikari and anyone who you want to hit really hard for lots of damage.
These weapons need to be equipped to your armsmaster in order for them to make use of the respective skill. For example, if you don’t have the Dancer’s Blade equipped, you cannot use the dagger skill.
Most of these weapons are just hanging out in chests, but a few of them are being protected by big boss enemies that you’ll have to defeat in order to get the weapon. If there’s a dungeon that isn’t used in the game’s story, there’s very likely a rusty weapon in there, guarded by a boss.
Just like the inventor items, you will also need a character who can take items from NPCs and a character who can knock out NPCs to get all the items.
