You could buy a perfect one at Droknar's Forge from the crafter, much cheaper than 1000 keys:

Apparently you missed the "gold" part of his post.

The crafted ones don't have the same skin. Long swords can drop just about anywhere. I got a gold req 9 one from a termite on the Marga Coast once.

Pretty sure the collector skin is different from the actual Long Sword skin that drops in explorable areas.

just farm some money or do some quests and buy one, Long swords arent that expensive and i reckon youd get one faster that way...

The Droks crafter does make the long, silver bladed sword as opposed to the stubby black one. Does a perfect blue sword function any different than a perfect gold one? Your choice, hunt forever/pay thru the nose for a gold or spend 5k and get one now.

Long swords are a 'core' weapon, so they can drop in just about every single area of the game. I guess the only way to narrow it down is to say "Search in Tyria" because then you don't have to worry about Factions or Nightfall content reducing your odds. As Legendary suggested - it would be FAR easier to just save your money until you could afford the weapon you wanted than to count on a lucky drop.

The list of things that people claim to have seen them drop from on the wiki long sword page might be a "good" place to start.

IME, I find chests near monsters that can drop one of the desired items is probably more likely that chests around monsters that don't.

I'll take it on faith that you know there's no functional difference between a perfect gold long sword and a collector's long sword, and you're just going for looks.

And for the record, Cheers! I like the idea of hunting your own pretty toys rather than farming gold and hanging around LA or the sell forums. Yeah, it takes longer, but it's a game! May fortune favor ya, Alcalium!

Actually, it uses the oh-so-meh shortsword skin. I know this, cause I made one myself, way back when...

As for drop locations, yeah, anywhere really - I got a nice purple inscribable one the other day. Although Wingblades still rule over Longswords imo

Back int he days of trolls farming with me war, I got a gold, req 8 15% enchanted one there, and a few other gold longswords, though not as good.

Also the chests in whitmans seems to fire out longswords quite regularly, but beware the grapes from there, they can leave u feeling a bit sour

My first perfect LongSword, that I continue to use today, dropped from a Bladed Aatxe in the Underworld. Of course this was around May of last year when rare drops and ecto were plentiful.

That's interesting, cuz a guildie said he got his by crafting it at Droks and it was the long silver bladed sword. Perhaps he was confusing 2 different swords?

I know I was disappointed when the collector "longsword" turned out to be the black stubby rinblade.

hey, don't dis the rinblade.

Yeah, collectors with longswords are usually rinblades, and crafters with them are actually shortsword skins.

As someone else mentioned, getting a perfect one isn't too expensive, I wouldn't pay more than 20k for a 15^50 one, and you could probably come up with that amount in about a week, or grind it in a couple days.

I've had most of my long swords in the maguuma jungle and the best one i've had was a (Req 9 15^50)
And as far as i remember it dropped from a root behemoth in a place called dry top (Maguuma jungle).

Check these out of you want to try there, and good luck.
