Just when you thought the fiery dragon sword was overratted in walks its brother the icy dragon sword to steal its thunder away...

Pretty rad find

Wow, ive always been a conjure frost fan, and ive always wanted an icy dragon sword with a blue flame, and now my dreams come true!

Age · Dec 21, 2005, 08:28 PM // 20:28

Do we do a carbon test on it to se if it is genuine.I like it better than the Fiery version and I have gone past the statue of Lyssa with LA Censor armor on at the time with al those Imps and Trolls not to mention the Avercra Tengu.I have capped all my skill up there unless I go the Necro one one my R/N.Why black out your skill bar andn why does everyone do this the OP didn't.

U must be a happy man now.

I went up there earlier today with a really excellent team (As stated at the time by one of the group members: "I must have died and gone to nuker heaven" No deaths or anything) I saw two icy dragon swords drop. I didn't get one but I got to see them in action and I'm going back for one. I'm going to deliberetly make a new warrior character to use it. Now granite citadel is full of people spamming: LFG for IDS. When I first saw it I thought Ian Duncan Smith had joined the game.

It's actually fairly easy to get. I was skill capping with my Mesmer and I heard some people in the town talk about farming the imp cave in Mineral Springs, so I was wondering why anybody would want to do that so I went there with a party of 7 hench and I got an IDS after killing one mob.

Yichi · Dec 21, 2005, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I wonder how long it will be until Prince Rurik goes farming for one......

Not Undead Prince Rurik, but Frozen Prince Rurik... NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Can anyone confirm these only drop in Mineral Springs?

AncientPC · Dec 21, 2005, 09:05 PM // 21:05

I've gone on about 10 runs now and finally picked one up on the last run.

We took the northern route to caves a few times and never had IDS drop from the Ice Imps along that path. All IDS's have dropped in caves for me (7 IDS/10 runs).

I've heard from someone else that they tried to farm the Ice Imps outside Grotto but no luck. I don't know about the group outside Ice Caves of Sorrow though.

W E B E R · Dec 21, 2005, 09:43 PM // 21:43

I am going to farm a ton of these, and then when they meet the same fate as the shadow blade, I will watch the green fly by...

(If that ever happens)

Former Ruling · Dec 21, 2005, 09:46 PM // 21:46

Funny funny funny.

People trying to sell them for all sorts of prices.

I saw one trying to sell for 500 ectos calling it "one of a kind" in Lion's Arch..

And in Granite they were asking 100k+ (upto 100k+50 ectos).

Now they've started selling for 10-20k (1-2 ectos).

I imagine if their drop rate isn't lowered they'll be 1k by Christmas.

not really, if you use the southeren path, it isent that much of a walk, and you can fight of the DP with the tundra giants as they are also soloable with the build :P

the only bad thing is it when you get a lot of avicara just infront of the cave, you cant kill the wises and the wont attack the imps >.>

did 3 runs so far, nu sword tho, lot of frigid harts and some other crap items, hope i get one soon

thedesign · Dec 21, 2005, 09:52 PM // 21:52

heh this is awesome...so i found mine early today before all this hype started..and sold it for 100k malinons shield and 3 ectos, i think i came out on top there.

Former Ruling · Dec 21, 2005, 10:06 PM // 22:06

May I also say this is a great coverup for the SoA axes on A-net's part?

All those people in LA spamming "I HATE ANET" or "WHERS MY SOA AXE" - Are now playing the game normally in Granite, spamming "LFG IDS Farm".

Great save on their part. They risked losing a few players if they didn't give them something new and shiny to look at.

Well that was ax and this is a sword so some narrow minded people might still be mad....

Theus · Dec 21, 2005, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Well..Now the sword is uterrly worthless, with most people only offering upwards of 20k.

How scary..a items confirmation occurs, its original price being incredibly over a 24 hour period becomes another item that simply isnt worth the effort.

I'm pretty sure they only drop there.

I went farming Ice Imps outside of Beacon's Perch and Ice Caves of Sorrow with someone I know (rangers ftw :3 totally) and nothing dropped after several runs.
