Added info about Graven Monoliths in the Domain of Secrets. This dropped months ago, so I didn't think of getting a screenshot at the time. I'll add a screenshot later on if I get another one, but if someone wants to verify it, feel free. Raknor -  Talk  23:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Elemental Sword in Eye of the North
During the GW:EN Sneek Peak Weekend I witnessed an Elemental Sword to be dropped by the dungeon reward chest of the Raven's Point dungeon (screenshot). T.T.H. 19:28, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

A Raptor in Alcazia Tangle dropped one for me: Someone might want to write that in the article Kemar 10:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * A Venomweaver in Magus Stones dropped one for me as well. This was after the Sneak Peek Weekend. FelixCarter [[Image:User_FelixCarter_Sig.png]] 22:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I got a golden one from a Ophil Amini in Bogroot Growths. 14-21 dmg :/ -Khan Reaper Kerensky 10:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems to be a relatively common spot for there. [[Image:User_Nub_Elesword_Drop_Bogroot.jpg]]Nub 15:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Got one from the end chest in Oola's Dungeon req10 gold inscribable.
 * I got one yesterday from a locked chest in Magus Stones. The article page says it's a "Rare drop" in that area. Is this intended to imply chest drops or should a separate note be added for the chest drop? Zophar 12:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Added it as a chest drop --Miko 19:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Boss Chest in Arachni's Haunt JohnQA 22:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

i got one from end-chest bloodstone caves :)
 * I got a req 12 firey one the other day (with a max "Guided by Fate" inscription) from the Sepulchre of Dragrimmar, I think, but it wasn't from the end boss chest. Probably a locked chest, although I'm not sure, it could just have been a random drop.

Tarnished Coast
According to the sources above and the article this sword has been found in the areas Alcazia Tangle, Arbor Bay, Magus Stones and Verdant Cascades on the species Krait Neoss, Raptor and Venomweaver. This indicates that its a random drop in the whole Tarnished Coast region. I have changed the article to reflect that its a drop in the Tarnished Coast region and I have added the Drop research table so we can get some more precise information on this. --Miko 17:12, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

No stats
What exactly are the stats for this wep? There is no reference to attribute level, damage range and type and no info on any effects (eg. Health +45 while enchanted). no! none of this at all, just whaere you can get it. If anyone knows plz put it on the page. --The Thunderbolt Guy 19:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a type of sword, not a unique. See the Sword article for stats that swords can have. - [[Image:User HeWhoIsPale sig.PNG]] HeWhoIsPale 19:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Then the article should state this. As it is, it looks incomplete because it says nothing at all about the sword's capabilities.  I was also under the impression that it was something more than just a skin. 71.200.140.35 11:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Trivia
The trivia says that the Elemental Sword is probably modeled after another games Fire and Ice sword and then links to that game. I had a look at that games Fire and Ice Sword which was a bright blue sword. The name itself "Fire and Ice" or "Ice and Fire" is a quite common Sword name in the world of RPG (search Google). So I don't see this claim justified and therefore removed the trivia. --Miko 08:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * yeah, it's supposed to be inspired by a mtg card &mdash;Zerpha[[Image:UserZerpha The Improver sig.png|talk]] The Improver 19:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Damage Type
I love the look of this sword, but I have to admit that I'm a little saddened that it just does slashing damage. We've got the FDS that does fire damage and the IDS that does cold, so it seems like this would be a great opportunity to have a sword that does both. It could determine whether the damage was fire or cold depending on which side of the sword you hit someone with. Think McDLT and keeping the hot side hot and the cold side cold. All joking aside, I was initially curious about the damage and surprised to learn that it doesn't do any elemental damage, since the name certainly would indicate that it should.

 * Eh, FDS and IDS also lose their sword hilt slot. Tain 19:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * A Fiery one dropped for me. Strangely enough, I havent tried to change the Hilt.

Raptor Nestlings
Ok, I have been farming raptor nestlings for awhile now and have not even got a non-gold elemental sword. I would just like to verify that this isn't just me. I really want that sword, but they are just not dropping. =( i just had one dropped (gold req9), the funny thing is my friend said : "i've heard the raptor nestlings drop eleswords, but i don't think they do", she has farmed the nestlings hundreds of times, it was my 9 th farm Fenrir dragonbone 16:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

-Edit-

Yes, they do drop Elemental swords, it is extremely rare though, recently i've farmed raptor nestlings outside Rata Sum (Hard mode) and have acquired a requirement 9 Elemental Sword. I have only ever had one drop to me, and this is the one, this about 4 months of pure farming over and over.


 * Got a Q11 one yesterday :)  Now a caster weapon for my monk.FromStokoe  20:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * for rarity sake, I've gotten two, a req 10 and a req 11 in about 60k Asura worth of Raptor baby farming (roughly 400 runs), so I'd give an estimate of 1 drop per 1500-2000 kills and 200 runs.  --Falseprophet 21:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

then i was very lucky, i did 50 runs at the most and got 3 swords total, R9, r10 and r12 Fenrir dragonbone 13:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Quetzal Stark
Was soloing quetzals for feathers the other day for fun with the sin, and one of these dropped from a warrior, r10. After looking to see that it'll drop from pretty much anything in Asura side, I thought it was not really necessary to list the creatures that drop it...Added anyways. Mon Pare 16:59, 21 June 2008

Why
Was this ever valuable in the first place? It's so fugly :|. Dark Morphon  (contribs)  08:05, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * i agree --Anorith [[Image:User Anorith Grenths Grasp.jpg|19px]] Talk 20:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It should at least animate. -- Luigi [[Image:User Luigi Sig.png]] Talk 01:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just stand there a minute while I cut you with this giant piece of paper, hold still sonny... 68.51.95.206 21:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Price
I know they are expensive but I just bought a req 12 for 10k somehow. Can any put a table in this how much they are worth for each req? Gyraxo 15:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That kind of thing doesn't belong on this wiki. And with the new ways of farming, they have gone down dramatically in price. Invincible  Rogue [[Image:User_Invincible Rogue_siggyiggywiggy.gif]] 15:09, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Wind Rider drops in Magus Stones
Has anyone seen any Ele Swords drop from the wind riders in Magus Stones? I saw a youtube vid where someone farms them there but dispite several attempts I have found none (loads of gold, purple and blue items but no ele swords). Tytan Crow 16:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

And the sword SO needs to be animated. Tytan Crow 16:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
