2025 New Items Drop Locations

I actually want to see an ingame vid of the Glacial Blade. I dont get Why would Anet make exactly that weapon so special, compared to the other New skins. I mean there is no explanation from them towards this. Or am i missing something?

I think at this point the glacial blade is likely dropped by a specific foe in a specific dungeon. Prob a dungeon that nobody farms or certain mobs are skipped due to SC.

looking at the first page you will notice that arced blade were only reported in shards of orr. So similarly glacial blade may only drop in a specific dungeon. People found arced blade because SoO is an overfarmed dungeon.

Also the mob that dropped the arced blade is a curses brigand, which can only be found in SoO.

A dungeon in norn territory that has unique mobs. I am thinking wurms in frostmaw!

For glacial blade(s), do you think it could be linked to mobs as creature eternal/gloom shields in ToPK for chests? In Ice cliff chasms maybe the previous glacial blades dropped from a chest near avalanches and not the first chest that could spawn from boreal chestrun so a large part of runners aren’t going for these chests. It could lead to farm chests near icy foes in far shiverpeaks.

Did someone try to farm artic wolves in Jaga Moraine for the glacial blade? They’re warriors with sword skills and kinda icy related.

I've done full VQ HM for few times here and like 20+ VQ Ice cliffs and not single Glacial Blade or Blades so far, dungeon theory might be true and I'll check it in next few days too.

That means all items drop from random mobs except of TWO?

only arced blade and glacial blade drop from special mobs and the rest is random. Or did a forgot something?

Why did Anet choose such a path. I really hoped for new live for all the dungeons. I am a little bit disapointant that not all dungeons got specific exclusive new weapons.

Did someone of you write with the Anet Guild Wars 1 guys on LinkedIn?
Maybe they can say a few words about that?

granite edge, stone blade as well (all 3 of them each), or mostly said almost all eotn skins are mucch restricted. also the others do not just drop everywhere... it will just be a selective group of mobs or mob, that isn't popularly farmed - like SoO, CoF, ice cliff chestrun near worms etc.

Ah i see. This i did not know! Thank you Red Fireball!
