I know that crystallines can be obtained from hall of heroes and some chests in fow..but it confuses me when i come to town and every 1 is selling them..

There must be easier way to obtain these so many people have them...

what do you think,...how can every 1 have crystalines when they r so rare

the drop rate increased on EVERY item, ive seen more "proper" rare items come up for sell in the last month then i have in the year or so ive been playing this game

a year ago maybe 1 crystalline come up for sell every couple weeks and this was normaly 1 of 5 which was passed around from person to person now days its nearly every day someone is asking for a pc on a 15% w/e serpant or dwarvern

People having more money to spend (hence PCs) as well as the increased speed of the hall chest drop could have a little to do with that as well.

yep, the proper rare items (serpant/dwarvern/crystalline) are slowly decreasing in value and status.

Only the rich will complain about this tho, the avergae player will see it as their chance to grab a nice weapon for a cheap price.

Most of the Crystallines I have seen up for sale in lions arch and droks lately have been junk. They might have increased the drop rate, but from what I have seen they are mostly purple and not worth more than 100k, and that only because of the skin.

^Thus making them rare.

The demand for them are high, supply is low, most people prefere to buy the ones with the better stats, so that just leaves the crappy ones in Lion's Arch.

Crystallines can be found from keyless chests AND mobs. However, it's still quite rare to find one from an actual mob, isntead of one of the FoW/HoH chests.

I've seen them drop from mobs (southern shiverpeaks), since the update making all chests require keys.

until you can provide hard evidence nobody will believe you

actually there is 3 chests

Kilroy is very manageable and stops before each encounter to give your party a chance to rest. If you need a break, just don't walk up to him and he will stand and wait. While following him around, he will point your attention to three unlocked chests (each will only appear after clearing an area). These have loot for your party.

Anyone care to confirm Crystalline sitings from those chests?



In my opinion, crystallines have gone up. I used to be able to grab em for oh say, 40k with max damage, req 10 ish, and a damage mod, and have trouble actually reselling it.

Not the case anymore my friends. Req 11 purples with no damage mod will go for a good 150k with the same amount of effort as the above.

If the skin is all people care about, I'm glad I held on to that crappy little long sword I got in Pre. Think I can sell that for 100k?

Lol @ the dude saying they drop from mobs in shiverpeaks. Might be interesting to know the same person who said this claims he has a 15>50 crystalline

That kilroy quest reward chest drops them too i have been told.

Reading this thread has made me realized that a guildie scammed me out of a crystaline a while ago...

I used to not know how much they went for. Got a purple one out of the unlocked chest in FoW. Thought, well it's purple, it's not worth much... asked guild how much it was worth, guildie said only 2k, I said alright, and he bought it.

Hm....
