Default Elemental Swords - Where do they drop? Can they be farmed?

I know they are rare and few and far between but damn 1 would look good in my collection. Without paying 100K + 100E that is.

Anyone have any insight?

i think fastest way you can "farm" them is by chestruning margonite chests in hard mode (will need 500+ chests to get one...)

Desolation chests drop them too, Shattered Ravines drop a lot of them because there are a large about of elemental creatures(stone shard crags)

Personally I got mine from the posioned outcrops, right where the Sandstrom boss spawns.

Just open up chests near or next to elemental monsters.

If you have to believe wiki, they do drop from foes. It's not confirmed... so if some 1 can confirm that, then we have a new farming spot

I've gotten an R12 from a desolation chest (I've ran only about 600-700 of em) other drops I've gotten were Firey Blade Axes, Sephis's, and a Dead Sword.

The best way to get a Elemental Sword is Chest Running.
