If you go farm the Girtabs in Toraimarai Canal, they always drop two claws and a shell, guaranteed. There's only two pops, one by the blm AF hat NM at J-8 and another by the Full Moon Fountain at F-9, but with a drop rate like that it doesn't take very long to have your inventory overflowing with scorpion parts. Those are also the mobs that drop Viking Axe, so you've got a chance of making a little extra cash while you're at it. At a guess I'd say the drop rate on the axe is 1/10. I've gotten it a few times.

I've actually found the scorpions that that pop near the first door in Rangumont Pass commonly drop claws, as well as the ones in Maze of Shakrami. That altepa ones have a pretty terrible droprate, probably because there are so many spread out in that zone.

Girtabs seem a bit higher-tier than the ones I mentioned, but you could get some friends to help farm them, just call it a skill-up PT
