Ive always wondered where do chromium shards drop? ive had my suspicions... the oni in Unwaking waters... Really the only place I know of. Ive already made a farming build used from the UW and FoW a/e solo sin modifications but no daggers yet.If anyone has any information as to where they drop please post.

They can drop from Luxon Assassins during the Halycon quest (the farming one) in Boreas Seabed.

You don't really have to... 99% of the farming community have their own builds for this farm already, or every other farm you are doing anyway!!! I now have 2 sets of Platinum Sickles!!!

And 1 last thing, don't matter how many people you tell the build to, or how many people farm the area, your chances remain the same!!!

just got a pair from a luxon sin w/ the halcyon quest. req. 12, kinda crappy. i'll see if i can get any money from the skin.

i would assume any high level sins drop them in cantha, minus maybe am fah or afflicted. no matter what, i think the halcyon farm is the way to go. you make some decent money on the side as well, along with other golds.

I want a platinum wand!

Now I'm more annoyed than ever that I did the Halycon Job quest.

first : Chromium Shards suck! i have glad 4 sin that would never be caught using daggers that did piercing dmg, so lame.

second : Platinum Sickles rock ! hence the Slashing dmg.

i just dont understand sins that ever chase daggers with piercing dmg, oh well, hope u get what your looking for.

just saw one dropping from a locked chest while i was doing minister cho's estate mission in hardmode. did not drop for me but as far as i could see they were real bad (7-16, req. 13) but gold ones though.

there might be a chance of getting better ones if you are lucky.

Piercing damage vs slashing isn't that important, if it was then the PvP daggers would come opinional, pretty much all my daggers are piercing, never effected my performance in any noticeable way. You think too much about it.
