Talk:Crystalline Sword

I once got a white Crystalline Sword in the pre-searing, I had it for the longest time but then merchaned it, thinking it had no value. Never seen a white one like it there since.

I'm pretty sure that it will have been the quest reward for The Prize Moa Bird, which shares the Crystalline skin AT(talk | contribs) 18:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

No, that would be a blue one. --RoyHarmon 03:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Guild Wars: Eye Of The North Chests?

I noticed a minor edit earlier about chests in gw:en having these swords in them? So does anyone have any screenshots :) T1Cybernetic 17:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

i saw someone selling an inscribable crystalline sword they said they got from a chest drop

chest drop could be the HA chest. Foo 09:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

i sold my crystalline what i got from HoH was inscribable also gold so maybe?

Long sword in Pre-searing

Yeah. I got a longsword with this design in pre-searing from prized moa bird

Zaishen Chest

I've heard various reports of getting this sword from a drop in the Zaishen Chest, can anyone confirm this?Thomas Malakier 23:20, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed today that Crystalline Swords Drop from The Zaishen Chest. An Ally member had a Q9 inscribable drop today from the chest when other ally's were present. [1] --Lorenna De Vir (talk) 16:12, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

This picture is not a proof because the player could have dropped the crystalline sword earlier then pick it up. We need to see the item on the floor with the "Assigned to Xx" information. Lady Tagazok --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.193.64.18 (talk) at 17:33, 5 April 2016‎ (UTC).

Because at this stage of the game someone would bother to make this up for the fun of it right? Don't be daft. There have been claims of this for years, at this stage of the game it's the best your going to get considering how few players there are. Lorenna De Vir (talk) 20:42, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

...How would somebody get the salvage data...

You mean, somebody actually salvaged at least 2 of these things? I've seen clean ones go for a few platinum... o.o"

^^ some people rather have knowledge then $$$ ( or it could of been an accident ) =P

Drop change ?

I've been playing GW since the beginning of it & in the early days of the game, one of my guildmates would have a crystalline that he said he'd dropped in Riverside Province. I was pretty close with him & he was a mature person so I don't believe he would have lied. Does anyone know if there is a (even infinitly small) probability of dropping this WHEREVER in prophecies &/or if this item's drop has been modified from the original way it used to drop.

Probably the only opportunity of getting a Crystalline Sword in Riverside is a BUG!. Maybe he was wrong ad it dropped somwhere else...or maybe he was just joking. As they say they only drop in HA, Zaishen chest and sometimes in the chests in Kilroy's mission in prophecies (only purple)

If someone have some knowledge than use it,if u dont than dont speak about thing that u dont know about.In the end - yes,gold crystalline/dwarvens/serpents were dropping in proph from chests that were nerfed later than,after than only possibility of getting gold one was from hoh chest.All that drops in tyria could not be max dmg,and they could be with unconditional modifier.So,yes,i think that there is huge posibility that your frined got that crystalline if that was in the begining of the proph.Now,after all,any possibility of geting gold uninsc crys as a drop is imposible since hoh chest is nerfed and it does not drop non insc items for more than 1,5 year

There were a set of (no key needed)chests in riverside provinince, about 6 of them and they all dropped every possible item in the game(including pre-searing and FOW and UW drops). It's very possible a crystalline sword could drop there(I was getting dyes, armours with runes in and collectible drops like dark remains from those chests).(marsc 21:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC))

Drop from other areas /chests in the future?

It is a shame that they do not drop from other areas in the game, isn't it about time there was another way to get a crystalline sword in PvE :( i personally love the skin and would love the chance to get one dropped from a mob or a chest... T1Cybernetic 08:16, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Purple ones drops in game - fow,uw and kilroy quest chests,but non insc...which sometimes stinks.Otherwise,there is a change of getting q8 crystalline,which is almost for 2 years imposible to get in gold version

R8 Crystalline Sword

Someone was selling this in Lion's Arch American District 1 on November 24, 2008. Don't know of any other r8 ones, so.. yeah.Balmung 20:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Requirement: 7 Swordsmanship is lowest as with any other max damage weapon. Most of them is probably uninscriptable and very rare.87.96.16.66 09:11, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I think its better to keep it the way it is. Otherwise not only will the value and prestige of crystallines plummet(take a look at stygian reavers and runic blades, there will also be nothing left for people in heroes ascent to fight for.

Dye chart?

I'm willing to make a dye chart if anyone's interested. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:PvX-Goodnight L A (talk).

Uninscriptable Crystalline Sword

I've heard rumors that this drops from Zaishen Chest. Is it true? - J.P.Talk 19:47, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

No. All drops from the Zaishen Chest are inscriptables.77.195.71.201 19:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Though the page says otherwise... - J.P.Talk 15:57, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

This is an old question so I am sorry about that the late reply. But, all items that come inscribable have a chance of dropping without an inscription slot. --Strong Like Magikarp 23:49, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

That's right, so theoretically it could happen. Anyway, the chance of getting a Crystalline is very low, the chance of getting an non-inscribable weapon is really slow too, so the chance of both things happening at the same time is nearly non-existent. I have got a non inscribable weapon from chests that drop inscribable weapons (a legendary sword from Rand's chest) just once in all my GW life, so it would be pretty sick to get a non-insc. Crystalline from Z. --Lhoj 21:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Appearance in GW2

I hope this sword makes an appearance in GW2. It has maintained its value throughout the history of GW, and it's still one of the most prestigious items. Crystalline Sword is as old as the GW itself. I think that Crystalline (as well as Fellblade that we already know has guaranteed its appearance in GW2) has earned its place in GW2. --Teisei 「ページ」 「会話」 11:25, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I had one drop from a foe in FoW. r9, unincribable (no inherent) - the page seems to suggest the ONLY place to get these is from CHESTS. Seems it isnt that way.
