Because by now nobody will pay 100k for those stones. They started from like 3k per down to like 700g each so not worth farming them no more...

and LOL 2-3 hour for 100k is a waste of time in 2-3 hour u can do lot more buying and reselling or just farm. LOL

Doh! Everyone has icy forearms but my [male] mesmer

I suppose it might be because our armor is always long sleeved, with the exception of rogue's armor.

I should have only needed to pay half the amount of glacial stones!!

Now you need 100 of those freaking stones

That's just silly. Talk about a increase.

Neo Nugget · Aug 31, 2007, 02:15 PM // 14:15

100?Gah that sucks. I hope its a bug.

Wulfgast · Aug 31, 2007, 02:17 PM // 14:17

That's... stupid. Especially since everyone could get them for much less during the preview. GJ, Anet.

TigMagick · Aug 31, 2007, 07:15 PM // 19:15

Yes, its not fair what about ppl that pre-ordered but didn't recive it in time? Or b/c of the bug thought they couldn't get the pre-order....

Please tell me this is just a bug/ oversight? This way only 1 of my chars would likly get it... Unless you want to pay out the nose to farmers.

Moloch Vein · Aug 31, 2007, 07:29 PM // 19:29

This is clearly no bug.

HKSdivision · Aug 31, 2007, 07:52 PM // 19:52

This stinks. I was 5 away from getting my pair and to find out that we need 100 now!

Not a bug:

Friar Khan · Aug 31, 2007, 08:35 PM // 20:35

Interesting. Personally, I'm not too fond of the ice gloves (compared to the air/glow glove leaked images I've seen) and I don't mind farming the stones too much (although I think maybe I'll do it for an hour a day so as to not bore myself out of my gord), but I also really understand why people find this upsetting. On the other hand, I think the change has some intelligence to it: Anet sees that people (like me

) are selling the stones for ridiculously high prices so they raise the amount required so that people are more motivated to farm their own "elite" collector items.

ROFL the collector is tired of farming them too!

but yeah, I'd totally be P.O.ed if I suddenly found out I needed 70 more instead of 5 more.

Edit: wow, look in this thread: 250 destroyer cores required for the fire gloves. :O

WinterSnowblind · Aug 31, 2007, 08:44 PM // 20:44

I'm sure glad I got mine early.

rogh daxh · Sep 04, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

:O now the collector needs 100 stones instead of 35, that sux

Wulfgast · Sep 04, 2007, 04:45 PM // 16:45

Has anyone noticed if these cause clipping issues with shields?

Croco Clouds · Sep 04, 2007, 04:58 PM // 16:58

Hey 100 Glacial Gloves is better than 250 Destroyer Cores, just look how ppl buy them at 1K!

Wulfgast · Sep 05, 2007, 05:40 PM // 17:40

Clipping, anybody? I don't want to waste time getting these stones if the gauntlets just shoot right through equipped shields. :P

willypiggy · Sep 05, 2007, 07:14 PM // 19:14

omfg, was reading the thread getting happy, thinking if i spent my day on this tommorow i would get some, and then i see i need 100 -.- farm time.

Serafita Kayin · Sep 05, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

Seeing as I've been vanquishing for the ridiculous grind for armor, and none have dropped for me yet, Anet has effectively removed any chance I had of obtaining these. Out of all the kills of that vaettir type thingy I've made, nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

GG Anet.

My Sweet Revenga · Sep 05, 2007, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Starting to feel like one big fat stall tactic for GW2. 250 destroyer cores.... I have yet to get ONE ever since the game went live and I've killed a LOT of destroyers. And anet has no intention of making any modification to the drop rate as you can see from the latest update, they decreased the cores needed for that quest from 10 to just 3.

Need diessa chalices for the blindfold? I got one killing my first mob when I first went into that dungeon. Haven't gotten another once since and believe me. I'VE TRIED.

Anybody got a Rin Artifact for the dread mask yet? Not me.....

Sigh. I'm making more plat than I am getting these drops so I'm thinking I might as well just start buying what I need. Before I thought 1 plat per chalice was insane! But now I'm seeing it's better than what I've been trying to do.... at least charr carvings are dropping on a regular basis. At this rate, I should have a ninja mask by..... christmas?
