Sometime ago I remember several people claiming to have had them drop in the Crystal Desert. I can't vouch for the veracity of those claims though, since I have not found one there myself. Not like I was trying to find one either, so I can't be sure either way.

It is true what Borislav says, but the chest does random drops.

I have a Crystalline Sword and it was a drop in the Crystal Desert. I got it in the Arid Sea area, but it has been several months back since I got the drop.

Now think logically ... Crystal Desert ... Crystalline Sword ... HMMMMM? Maybe a connection, maybe not. Anyhow, that is where I found my Crystalline.

glint is in a single piece of crytaline sand which is in the crystal desert. So it would make sense that crystaline swords are in the crystal desert.

I got one in-between Sanctum Cay and Fisherman's Haven.

As I understand it, they drop in completely random locations.

The most common locations are chests. FoW also drops them, but its much easier to just do chest runs.

Everybody gets that one. It's a quest reward.

If memory serves me correctly, I got one somewhere in the Crystal Desert on my way to one of the missions for Ascension, but, of course, I didn't know how valuable they were at the time and sold it to the Merchant. It's a good thing money isn't everything in Guild Wars

Can anyone tell me where the most common place for Crystalline Swords to drop is ? I have been all over the map coming up with nothing each time. Even if its a place that you've gotten a CS once I'd like to hear about it.

Crystalline swords drop mainly from Phantom Chests in the Underworld...that's what i've heard. i've never heard much about the Fissure of Woe chests dropping these swords, but it might be possible.

also, crystalline swords drop from the Hall of Heroes chest that spawns whenever a team wins the match. it's all blind luck though, practically 1/100 or so chance of getting one.

I had heard you can get them in FoW chests... have done about 300 chest runs tho and have never seen one drop, for me or anyone else, but heard they come from the keyless chests... I dont have much experience in the UW but hear they come from the keyless ones there and I know HoH has em..

The easiest way to get one is in Pre-Searing, it's not max dmg ofcourse, but it looks great when you're a IW-Mesmer. Just do a quest. I'm not certain which quest.
It looks the same as a crystaline sword only the name is longsword. So don't be fooled if the name of the reward is longsword. That longsword can be just as easily your crystaline sword.
