Well.... I along with many other people have taken a look at the elemental sword skin, and have decided that they really want one. The problem is, is that no1 has any clue as to where they can be found. All wiki said was something on a new realm of a god, and you have to kill the last boss there.

Does any1 out there know anything more about where these swords can be acquired, and also, how common they are?

Thx for all the help in advanced to people who can answer this, i know many would really like to know.

Wow thanks, now we know for fact that they drop from chests

Also, has there been any establisment on the rarity of the skin?

And finally, is there anybody who can confirm the whole confusing realm of the god, final boss drop thing.

Fiery Gladius, or something else? Because every time I've been through the Consulate Docks mission, at least one Fiery Gladius has dropped for someone. They were garbage though, usually something like 13~18 req 10. I got a junky inscribable one, though, which is looking attractive enough to slap on a 14/-5 inscription for a negative energy set.

Honestly I've seen better skinned swords. But it's all taste. Still wouldn't hurt to have one, so you can get them from Torment chests? Drop rate must be low as hell.

Hmm, I haven't progressed that far into Elona yet, where exactly is the Realm of Torment?

Like, how far into the game, is it at about halfway, at the end, or perhaps after the fifth mission already?

And along with being too flashy, FDS fell out of flavor because (a) Hilt could not be changed, and (b) It wasnt as rare as initially thought to be.

So I seriously doubt the same for Elemental Sword

I just got one. I can confirm that it doesn't glow. Everything is changeable though, as far as I can tell.

Btw nine soul, can u tell us how you acquired yours? Did you just buy it, or did you find it?

Chest drop. Was on my way to cap an elite and saw a chest. Thought "What the hell, might as well..." BOOM! Elemental Sword =)

Strangely enough, it wasn't in the Realm of Torment. I ran about 50 chests there - no luck. Until now that is.

Aren't you curious? =P

To be honest and frank, it was in the Desolation, somewhere near the place where you get the elite skill for the Junundu (or whatever they're spelled if I messed it up).

I wouldn't expect much from these chests if I was you, I spent a good long time chest hunting in the Desolation for nothing. As I said, this was a one-way trip to cap Magebane Shot, just happened to take me by a chest. Wasn't even hoping for anything gold.

Fiery gladius are the constantly-blue unmoddable FDS's of this game. i saw a couple drop. Modded in general like them and the display of the items was like the same. Meh.

Im not sure if i ever saw sompthing both so ugly and so cool.

The fire and water thing dousnt realy match and make the thing look misshaped and ugly.

And yet they both look so nice that they look cool aswell.

But i think the sword just has an identity crisis if he cant pick between the two.

I hope il get one,time to bring me some keys!

There's a fiery axe looking thing. I thought it looked pretty cool, but I don't have a warrior and my Koss has a chaos axe so he's happy enough.
