The drop rate is very small every way whether on a map or the forge. With the right recipe and ema, the chance at the forge goes up, but it is very expensive. If I were trying this, I would keep trying 5-4 with all my larger swords that are of a suitable level and 6-3 with the short guys. Forging only when I have extra materials to spare. But I know the kid would just save up mats and forge.

Someday, suddenly, the one you are looking for will appear. Akashi did that to me last Monday after two months of fighting kebiishi every day several times to get to his node. The thing is that he was always just a bonus lottery ticket, the main focus was to level up the tantou and wakizashi and get the daily/monthly kebiishi fights done. What I am trying to say is: Do things that make the miracle possible, but don't expect it. Have fun with the game. (I am telling this to myself too.) :)
