I'd buy one for collector value myself (they are confirmed to be an event only item), but I'm not completely convinced we wont get one free at some event :\ The off chance is enough to make me hold my money back..
That little quote from Gaile with its blurry wording (done on propose) got me too. "Tell your friends. They should come play to earn one  "... That might just be a friendly warning to get one now, because their event only, or it might be a secretive like message that it will be an event prize. How do I get that? it says..tell your friends to COME play to earn one..She is in LA..Come to play in LA? That sounds like The Holiday event planned for New years eve (the Wintersday thing) - much like Pumpkin heads were event prize in Halloween for playing the games in LA..We rumor spreaders might just be reading into it too much, but The off chance is enough for me to save my money.. |

Patience is a virtue!
Well if at first you don't succeed, try, try again (then try some more!

I have done around 20+ runs. From my experience, here is what I found:
It takes around 15min to run from granite citadel to ice imp cave via solo run. 25% chance failure b/c there is a group of avacary together with a group of imps --no way to run past them or defeat them using a warrior --so a rezone or a rerun is required. An icy dragon sword drops roughly once for every 18-23 fridget heart drop. So on average it drops once every 2-3 runs. 25%-37.5% chance of getting an IDS per solo run. If you are going with a 5 man party, your odds of getting an IDS is 6.6%-10% per run. |

I think the shortage of IDS is becuase everyone is HOARDING them!!! They turning them into HoD swords. I think ANet should turn them into regular weapons or weapon craftable at collectors. I am still making runs for my guild so everyone who wants one has one. They still dropping like before.

Sad and very tired
I have spent the whole of Xmas day trying to get one of these with repeated trips to the cave with no luck.
I'm still trying, going with a friend now to see if they maybe drop. Argh, its so frustrating! I just want 1 and then I can continue my adventures. Why must some get them on first trip and some it takes 50 trips. You call that balance! HA! |

Is it just me or are IDS's drop rate drastically dropping? I've done 5 solo runs in a row that came up with no IDS. I've only gotten one IDS, and that was my very first run, on my very first Imp (or was it the second)?

Pyrea, I can only feel for you as I've been out in Mineral Springs thoughout the xmas week-end. I did about 20~25 runs in there but never got any. During my last run tonight, the one who got the sword was someone who was out on his first attempt.
Yes, this is frustrating. |

Thursday: 5 Friday: 1 (had bad spawns, got frustrated, started farming the desert) Saturday: 0 (didn't play much, but my few runs didn't yield) Sunday: 6 Yay!! Yeah it's a lot of grind, but when you finally do see "Ice Imp drops an Icy Dragon Sword" it makes it all worthwhile. |
