Flipping Green Weapons

[Nikas Zekeval]

Filing under "things I wished I knew at the start"? Green weapons give higher level machine parts when you sell them off after fully upgrading.

Now this is going to get less shards that you invested in them, but think of it as buying the machine parts.

Of the Green weapons? I split them into categories based on what they give and how desirable the machine part is to get early. All give some level of Shards and one Braided Wire in addition to one of the Machine parts they are under, each. The Machine listed after the weapon are the one(s) you need parts from to completely upgrade it

Bellowback Sac Webbing: (High Priority Flips)
Frost Blastsling (Bristleback)
Shock Tripcaster (Scrounger)
Fire Hunter Bow (Charger)
Knockdown Sharpshot Bow (Leaplasher)

Some things you can keep the capacity by buying Blue level weapons in Plainsong and then selling the greens above for upgrade materials. Specifically the Forgefire Tripcaster, the Frost and Sun-Touched Hunting Bows, and the Hardweave Sharpshot Bow. All available either at Plainsong or the Plainsong Hunting Grounds.

Elemental Clawstrider Sac Webbing:
Sharpshot Bow (Burrower)
Warrior Bow (Scrounger)
Ropecaster (Scrapper)

More investments for the future, but the later two are useful to pick up to flip even if you don't use either weapon type much or at all.

Lancehorn Horn:
Hunter Bow (Burrower)
Strongarm Hunter Bow (Clawstrider)
Kue's Sharpshot Bow (Clawstrider)
Impact Spike Thrower (Skydrifter)
Prototype Spike Thrower (Scrounger)

Really more clearing clutter, since if you do the No-Man's Land Salvage Contracts the final one has your target in a small herd of Lancehorns. Make sure to do a clean sweep and you'll already have most of what you need. Though I suggest the Hunter Bow as first if you really need another horn right away.

All the rest have Misc parts, which will be weapon (Upgrade machine) -Machine Part for full upgrade. Really this is if you are desperate for shards, and have done the upgrades already.

Explosive Blastsling (Skydrifter)- Grazer Rotor Horn
Nora Thunder Sling (Scrounger)- Bronze Ingots (2)
Whisper Hunter Bow (Greenshine)- Charger Horn
Explosive Tripcaster (Greenshine)- Fanghorn Antler
Shock Warrior Bow (Greenshine)- Spikesnout Sac Webbing
Swift Warrior Bow (Fanghorn)- Glinthawk Beak
Carja Behemoth Short Bow (Scrounger)- Bronze Ingots (2)

Nothing really worth it for dedicated flipping, more deciding you just want to clear things out, or are really desperate for shards.

This seems helpful. Maybe make it into a guide.
