Where to farm streamstones?

[JustUnLucky]

I need the warrior streamstone axe to augment my CB. I have zero warrior streamstones in 200h playtime.

A way to farm them specifically?

T3 hunts are the best way. Hunting AT elders has a higher chance, but the fight is usually too much effort for how easy a typical T3 hunt is.

i question at elders haveing better chance. the devs went out of thier way to patch this a good while back. before you would get only streamstones from at elders. now they share thier dropslot with decos. thus at elders are now worse than normal t3 investigations. not that the t3s are much better tbh. i killed 10 at kirins and only got like 1 streamstone out of these 10 kills. not worth it given 1 kill takes around 10-15 minutes.

but cancerstones are some of the worst rng aspects of this game in generel. its grind grind grind and hope you may ever get lucky. especially r7 weapons are the worst. getting 4 of the same type of cancerstone requires insane luck.

Tempered elder dragon investigations.

It's all about RNG.
you might get your stone on very first hunt or 100 hunts later and still get nothing :)
Elder Dragon got highest change for R8 stone, if you're looking to R7 stone then other lesser Tempered hunts are fine and easier, faster time hunt (it also has a change to drop R8 stone too but again it's all about RNG).

imo r7 stones are harder to come by than r8. thier droprate goes to 13.x% on tempered elders on t2 temps its only about 3%. plus you need more of em of the same type for 1 augment most the time. r8 is easy. just have to get lucky once.

but yeah. cancerstone rng is out of control just like decos. decos got partly fixed via events. cancerstones did not. hopefully iceborne fixes this bs of getting stones for weapons you dont use and cannot even trade in a bunch of wrong ones for the right one.
