I know that crystallines can be obtained from hall of heroes and some chests in fow..but it confuses me when i come to town and every 1 is selling them..

There must be easier way to obtain these so many people have them...

what do you think,...how can every 1 have crystalines when they r so rare

Malice Black · Aug 13, 2006, 01:07 AM // 01:07

the drop rate increased on EVERY item, ive seen more "proper" rare items come up for sell in the last month then i have in the year or so ive been playing this game

a year ago maybe 1 crystalline come up for sell every couple weeks and this was normaly 1 of 5 which was passed around from person to person now days its nearly every day someone is asking for a pc on a 15% w/e serpant or dwarvern

Avarre · Aug 13, 2006, 01:09 AM // 01:09

People having more money to spend (hence PCs) as well as the increased speed of the hall chest drop could have a little to do with that as well.

Malice Black · Aug 13, 2006, 01:13 AM // 01:13

yep, the proper rare items (serpant/dwarvern/crystalline) are slowly decreasing in value and status.

Only the rich will complain about this tho, the avergae player will see it as their chance to grab a nice weapon for a cheap price.

Most of the Crystallines I have seen up for sale in lions arch and droks lately have been junk. They might have increased the drop rate, but from what I have seen they are mostly purple and not worth more than 100k, and that only because of the skin.

Poison Ivy · Aug 13, 2006, 01:49 AM // 01:49

^Thus making them rare.

The demand for them are high, supply is low, most people prefere to buy the ones with the better stats, so that just leaves the crappy ones in Lion's Arch.

Malice Black · Aug 13, 2006, 01:50 AM // 01:50

Fist..there's a name ive not seen in a while..howdy

yea you have a point most have poor inherants mods or no mods whats so ever..still its an easy 100k or so

KamikazeChicken · Aug 13, 2006, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Crystallines can be found from keyless chests AND mobs. However, it's still quite rare to find one from an actual mob, isntead of one of the FoW/HoH chests.

I've seen them drop from mobs (southern shiverpeaks), since the update making all chests require keys.

until you can provide hard evidence nobody will believe you

this basicly means someone well known on guru being with you when it drops

SS are easily Photoshopped these days

|pyro| · Aug 13, 2006, 01:01 PM // 13:01

It's better thet they return the droprate to normal and improve status on them.

actually there is 3 chests

Kilroy is very manageable and stops before each encounter to give your party a chance to rest. If you need a break, just don't walk up to him and he will stand and wait. While following him around, he will point your attention to three unlocked chests (each will only appear after clearing an area). These have loot for your party.

Anyone care to confirm Crystalline sitings from those chests?

In my opinion, crystallines have gone up. I used to be able to grab em for oh say, 40k with max damage, req 10 ish, and a damage mod, and have trouble actually reselling it.

Not the case anymore my friends. Req 11 purples with no damage mod will go for a good 150k with the same amount of effort as the above.
