Yeah it's a "long sword" 6-9 dmg, no req., 5% halves casting speed and +5 armor while casting.

Best Farming Sword In The Game

Charqus · Mar 30, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

is kilroy quest like finish with a mary poppins box?

I believe you can only get a chrystaline sword from an unlocked chest. Specially in UW after you take the Restore The Monuments quest, after you clear each monument a chest will appear on it, they drop everything and i mean everything

specially things that monsters dont drop. Also in FoW chests appear after you complete some quest, the best chance to get one is from there

hope i helped

kosh · Mar 31, 2006, 11:58 PM // 23:58

agreed.
most chances to get one is from unlock chest,

Solberg the Exiled · Apr 01, 2006, 04:59 AM // 04:59

From what I know, only unlocked chest ever drop crystalline. And so far, these are the only unlock chest left in the game...

1) Hoh chest after you go through ascent
2) Fow chest that appear after some quest is completed
3) Kilroy chest from SF, (Probably the easiest to farm)

And until anyone has screen shot to prove that a monster drops them or a locked drops them, I will stick by my opinion

Dracostamer · Apr 02, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Crytallines and a very cool item, a great treat to get. It is a very rare drop. Mostly all the golds come from HoH. But there are some reports of some from DD.

Chests appear after underworld quests too, they drop everything, I've seen purple ritualist's tunic before

I realize this thread is old and threadsurrecting sucks sometimes.

But I was under the impression, and still am under the impression because this is always the way it's been, that crystalline swords can only be found from unlocked chests. I've had them drop from FoW quest chests (the one after wailing lord), these always appear to be purple, and I've had white ones drop from the bugged barrel that used to be in Sanctum Cay, and the chests that used to be part of the riverside mission that dropped everything from ecto's to crystallines.

My question is.... did something change recently among patches, or nightfall release, or something that I missed? I put up my crystalline auction on the auction pages and it only sold for something like 230k. it was gold 15-22req 12, 19% while hexed, 20/20 sundering, and +30hp. IT was from an HoH chest drop a long time ago, almost a year ago. About halfway through the auction, I went from the only person with a sword in the category, to 20 people selling crystallines.

Where did they all come from? Were people just waiting to sell them, or are they becoming more of a common drop now? I'm just confused why an elemental sword which can be easily found in less than a week of searching or trading for cheap and then upgraded with inscriptions (which no crystalline has an upgradable inscription), and added mods can sell for so much and then my crystalline sell for so little when it's way rarer. Any insight?

And a purple ritualist's tunic is something a krytan enemy would drop. White Mantle Ritualist ring a bell?

These other bugged chests like in Sanctum Cay would drop items (I can't remember any names) of enemies that aren't even in the game.

edit:

One of the runs in fissure we did, showing some good drops from the wailing lord quest and the reason why I never miss it anymore. Ecto from the banshees, 2 shards, and a crystalline sword from the chest (which was purple, before coloring in the text took place)

cataphract · Dec 01, 2006, 01:19 PM // 13:19

I have seen two. One purple dropped for me on my first run to Drednaught's Drift chest few months ago. Second one I've seen was on a warrior. Gold 14>50, req 10.

Raptor[LUX] · Dec 01, 2006, 10:28 PM // 22:28

Been playing since launch and only ever seen one and it was on a warrior in AB and they had customized it. :O And it had good stats and low req...

T1Cybernetic · Dec 01, 2006, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Getting a crystalline sword is on my "goals /to do" list but since release i've never seen on drop and i've been around a bit

DeathandtheHealing · Dec 02, 2006, 10:39 PM // 22:39

only seen them drop for hoh but this post was very interesting. It seems like after NF crystallines value dropped becuase more people favor the elemental sword over the crystalline.

the elemental sword does look a lot better

I'm just laughing at the picture on the minimap

DirteeRice · Dec 11, 2006, 04:02 AM // 04:02

In the betas they used to drop alot. Even charr would drop them.
I had one a few days ago, but it wasn't all that great save for the skin.

I sold it off and got an amazing amount of gold items for it.

I got overpaid.

Oh and here's one of my guildies showing off.
