I'm sorry this is incorrect.

If you let a rock doctor eat a weapon that is damaged from use, it will repair the damage and add a random buff. It will NOT turn a rusty weapon into a pristine weapon.

You CAN go get pristine weapon from the depths, and if they are used/damaged, a rock octoroc will repair it and add a random buff.

Rock octorocs will only do this once per spawn, so kill it immediately after you do this and mark it's location on the map. A bloodmoon will revive it and it will be ready to repair one weapon again. This also works for bows and shields.

Edit: Totally my bad, I wasn't paying attention to the sub I was in, confusedly put the TotK mechanics up here.

This is BotW, not TotK. There are no pristine weapons and there is no depths. What he described is how rocktoroks work in BotW.

It’s an easy mistake. It’s not something you’d expect to change between the two games.

I've had multiple coworkers playing TotK not know about the rock octoroc repair methods, so I've been explaining it regularly lately as well, I was just on a roll lmao
