2025 New Items Drop Locations

I've had a Snake's Envy drop in the Fire Islands with Soul Reaping req

Chestrunning in ice cliff chasms, will update if i get more stuff

Bluey I think some skins are still missing entirely. canthan targe, darksteel longbow, comes to mind but maybe some were already listed somewhere.

I got a Darksteel Longbow yesterday from an Ice Elemental in EoTN.

Also my Dragon's Envy was fast casting attribute.

Peacock's Wrath, Illusion q11, Mallyx HM, DoA, NF

Scorpion Bow q13 golden

Maatu Keep Chest HM

Heaven's Arch, yesterday in Fow HM (q13 df, OS)

Mini Raptors NM

Found at Peridition Rock HM, not sure a drop for this has been posted yet (it was a single mod, tac req).
I've also had a bonecrusher, unicorns wrath, peacocks wrath and black hawks lust drop here now in around 100 chests.

+1000 zkeys in and not a sign of new wep

Sorry, can I ask:
did Greater Etched drop in purple?

No, only the other 2

Quote from Bluey

Red Fireball Just as I was about to say I haven't seen a Canthan Targe, one popped up! Most of the drops have surfaced, and from the pattern I'd say most drop universally in the areas the update notes said they will drop.

A few exceptions are the "greater, normal, lesser" series from PVP reward skins. They seem to have specific regions. Etched drop in Norn areas; Granite and Stone drop in Asuran areas. I have not seen Arced and Greater Arced at all, but I suspect they have a region too.

Some other obscure ones that I haven't seen are: Bear's Sloth, Rhino's Sloth, War Pick, Sunspear. (But from Kamadan chat, seems like someone is already selling Rhino's Sloth and Sunspear)

I wouldn't worry about the requirements too much. In a few days we will all be familiar with them, just like the old stuff. Of note, the shields seem to drop in Leadership, Strength, and Tactics.

I would say though, it's strange that I haven't seen any dungeon end-chest drops. With people running them for the minis, I thought there'd be more. But up until now, nada. Did the devs forget about dungeon end-chests?

Again I thank everyone for participating! It's amazing how much we found out in the last 3 days. I really love this game and the community! The game is very much alive! What a 20th anniversary! I will try to complete the list a bit more, maybe until we're all familiar with them and don't need lists anymore. Then we might gradually move on to the official wiki.

Cheers!

Arced probably in charr homelands.

Rhino's Sloth and Storm's Ember dropped from Winds of Change mobs in Kaineng.

this has probably long been discovered but I just found out you can't salvage the new skins into mats

Random drop in Gyala mission

Some more thoughts and seemingly open topics:

• The martial type items have been mentioned here less. Some, in particular both Nightfall preorders, glacial blade and glacial blades (daggers) haven't been mentioned at all, yet this thread has several mentions of hourglasses. Are they weighted evenly on a per-profession basis or something?
• On profession specificity (I see you edited some into the OP): it's going to be very hard to be sure, but based on my own experience and some of the screenshots in this thread there is little if any correlation between enemy profession and which of the new items they are dropping. Unsure about casters and attribute requirements, there are clear patterns with this in "old" drops (eg silver boars seem to require the attribute of the profession that dropped them from mallyx waves).
• Minimum level requirement still isn't very clear.

I've spent a bit of time in the Charr Homelands (seeing as it is sort of the "obvious" missing counterpart to tarnished coast and far shiverpeaks) looking for any flavour of arced blade but left emptyhanded. Maybe just need more luck/time though...

There's probably no minimum level, someone got low q items from raptors in nm.

Seems like only elite areas/beyond/eotn foes and general hm chests are capable of dropping the new items.

Anyone know where soulbreaker drops?

I think that, given the current selling price of some of these skins, which are dropping more slowly than others (in relation to the places where everyone goes first, e.g. WOC Kaineng), the players who drop them won't help you at first.

Death's Head, req. Death - Domain of Fear, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

Quicksilver, req. Inspiration - Domain of Fear, Nightfall - Chest. (This item can be dyed, but no difference when applied to the skin).

I will post in English everyone here does

This is cool thread, I hope to more of this info!

TY all!

Both dropped in SoO

Chimeric prism q12 FC in tasca locked chest

I saw Deep didnt have confirmations yet so heres first, guildy dropped when we were doing a run with em

Hey,

Just dropped a Dragon Fangs Q13 while farming WoC

Spiritbinder (Communing, Non-insc) - WoC HM (A Chance Encounter) - Can be dyed (affects wrappings on the staff)

Quicksilver (Fast Casting, insc) - Tumbled Elemental (Sacnoth Valley) HM - Can be dyed but no visible effect (as previously mentioned in this thread)

Are all of the Leadership shields OS (non inscr.)?
