No way Ultra Wyvern Jawblade has only green sharpness when the previous ones had blue.

try to get defender great sword 5 i have used it for the whole game. Here is a trick if you have 1 go to a Anjanath and get a scale don't do the quest just get a scale and run. That will get it up to 2 it is so much easer to kill the early monsters. I did not know this in till i ran in
to a Anjanath i tried to kill it but i was fighting his for 17 minutes i got 2 scales. after that i checked the smithy i looked what to upgrade i
then i saw that i had the right thing so i up graded it. But when i checked here i saw that i only whet up to 5 so then i chose rathalos weapon path. if you have iceborne gust use clutch claw. Did you know you can make the Hutsmans armor at MR 150 divine Surge be ready and you can get his sword witch is Wyvern Blade "Leaf" long sword in iceborne you can get his armor the sword gust the regular game.
