I didnt record its value unid, but after id it is 184g Red
Holy!
correct me if I'm wrong but I remember gold value ≤200 means unide gold value <50, which means q8 potential!
I think that's why weapons from Zaishen Chest have a minimum gold value of 204.
I thought it was 35 and under for gold unids? At least that’s what I have come to understand for prophecies
Bluey what @Ascalonian said. need to be below 35unid for q8 potential - commonly said. there is a bit more to it, but that is the general rule.
GhostKairi 184 means max 45unid, and lvl22 would be 40g+. still no q8 possible anywhere closeby
Glacial blade:
So we now know that it exists and drops.
As we can believe anet, it drops in eotn. For sure.
Now the question is where.
My best guess besides drakkar lake djins would be ice imps. Probably not even locked chests, rather themselves. In hardmode should be tried.
Why ice imps? The glacial blade could be a hommage to the icy dragon sword that only drops from.... yes! ice imps in prophecies. It is fitting, a hommage.

or it is the thematically fitting dragrimmar dungeon chest. maybe dungeons have not been farmed as heavily since the update because everything else seemed to just drop from mobs or locked chests. therefore it took so long to get a glacial blade

All theorycrafting here but I would say: no.
Why? It would be the only item of the new ones from an endchest. So, it would be out of order. They would have put glacial blades then also in an endchest I guess.
Also, the drag. endchest already has an exclusive item.
I think it must come from foes or locked chests.

it obviously is out of order because we have only seen it once by now.

Out of order can also mean drops very rarely from very specific mobs. Anyways. Time will tell 😁 and in the end I will be right of course 😆

I've toyed with the same idea and as a result have spent a fair few hours farming Ice Imps, aswell as Frozen Elementals. And I can report that they've dropped me surprisingly few new skins.

You have to use a Charr salvage kit on a pair of glacial blades to turn them into a glacial blade only AFTER doing 1 /beg emote, 1 /shake fist emote and 1 /helpme emote. This will result in 2 identical duplicate glacial blade swords.
Maybe a rare Foe like Jormugand drops them?
Anybody been trying to farm that one?
Got a couple to report:
Quicksilver, req9 inspiration, from HM wisp on Drakkar Lake.
Peacocks Wrath, req13 inspiration :(, from NM Ebony Citadel.
DEEP HM dropped off Oni.
Hourglass Staff dropped from a chest in Cathedral of Flames NM.

What about the glacial griffon? Could it be that the blade can only drop from the glacial griffon HM? I'm wondering as it is the only (?) boss with "glacial" in its name, plus it fits the whole norn region theory
According to wiki
"The Glacial Blade is a sword, forged by the Norn in the fires of the Far Shiverpeaks"
Drop by norn enemies only. I think there are only 2 norn bosses in the game?
Lions Pride, req 12 fire, from HM Drakkar wisp.
Bogroots frogs drop tons of stoneblade and granite edge, and it seems likely none of the other new skins.
Aside, does anyone have an efficient farm for Drakkar's? Derv works, but very slow (probably slower than doing it 8 times with a full hero team), and you're dead if you aggro the elementals or horsies.
Dropped at Lornarpass (HM)
From Varajar Fells. First drop in eotn in over 5k solo kills during favor. Has it been this rare for others as well in general content?
Are Glacial Blades still just hope for the best from chests?
Are Glacial Blades still just hope for the best from chests?
As someone who has farmed norn area exclusively in a farm with very high new item drop chance I can say that in over 200 new skins and over 5k mobs killed I haven't dropped either glacial from a mob, but maybe all but 1 other skins that drop there. So my biased opinion is yes. Especially since we saw 3 glacial blades drop from chest runs the first 2 days or so alone
Hi
Drop my q10 pair of glacials on mobs, norn side. HM
Around 20k mobs, a lot of all skins, only few shields (like one of each skin).
More dropped skin : Hourglass Staff.
has anyone had a drop from a normal mode chest?
Like cantha chest for example
Dropped at Lornarpass (HM)
Did you ident? If so, what stats turned up? And Q?

Q9 from locked chest in scoundrel's rise had favor of the gods

I ran Pongmei NM and no drops. Only locked chest HM dropped.
Got Storm Ember from Pongmei HM

I farmed glacial griffon for 1hr with favor and got 0 gold drops in hardmode
small sample size, but i hope its not dropped from here xD

making a skin exclusive to a quest enemy like that would be such a troll move, i don't think anet would do that

yeah agreed, thought id try it out anyway
Cant say it doesnt come from this quest, but id be surprised if it did
Hi there,
8 runs HM Dragamir --> 0 Glacial Blades

ive done some runs too, for reference i got 5 turquoise staves and 0 glacial blades.

You being sarcastic? Let’s not forget about Jordungamds Thunder.. or what about the specific things you need to do to get the Silver Edge. I wouldn’t put it past them to do the same for this.
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 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!

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.
