Of course it's possible that the 6 Heroes were taking a lot of the cores that dropped, but the point remains Glint's Challenge is not an easy/fast place to farm Destroyer Cores.

I find that hardly anyone even has Destroyer Cores available to buy, yet tons of people want to buy them.

I agree with the speculation that their drop rate got nerfed a lot.

Gaile has just confirmed that the Cores have a very low drop rate and that Anet is looking into it.

sneak peak: 2 (played for a total of 6 hours)
Full game: 1 (played about 20 hours maybe more)
Sold them for a whopping 2K each, hopefully this will be fixed and i can start farming to get me some shexy gloves.

Linsey, it has been mentioned on Gaile's talk page that some players cannot find Destroyer Cores anywhere since the release, despite being able to get them during the preview weekend (here's the link). Even assuming anything has changed, it would not be a quest bug since it's not directly linked to the quest, but do you happen to know if the drop rate for the Cores has changed? It's a bit hard right now to do this quest : ) Erasculio 17:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

It looks like the drop rate was changed just prior to release. I've been bugging the items guy all weekend about this; had I known he was going to change it I would have adjusted the quest accordingly. I will keep fighting the good fight to get it changed back. - Linsey talk 17:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Hopefully things will change.

its been changed

# Corrected an issue that caused Destroyer Cores to drop at a lower-than-expected rate.
# The number of Destroyer Cores needed for High Priest Alkar's quest "Destructive Research" has been reduced from 10 to 3.

Did Glints Challenge last night 4 times with all players team. 17 Cores and rank 45 for the daily scores before I called it a night. Got 6 in one run thru but only 2 on my first one. Maybe I'm just lucky.

75 ectos. I currently have 0. xD wow ... what a bunch of crap, 75 e for those!? No thanks. They look horrible, the destroyer gaunlets look much better imo. 75 e??? I can't get over that... you would have to be stupid to waste 75 e on some pale looking hands, i'd rather stick with my fissure gloves.

I was buying and farming cores for the last few days. The last update did noticably increase the drop rate of cores since I was able to buy over 100 today alone! That made it possible for me to finally get these...

I agree with the previous poster on the chaos gloves. My monk is now in line to get those! =D
