Now either high req does more dmg or different skin types mean some do more dmg then others. I was using the same swordmanship 13 durning the test for both weapons. |

, anyhow I am going to assume what you are saying is:1. Both of your swords has no Weapon Modifier and has not been CUSTOMIZED.If what you are saying is true, you must have the "magical weapons" of Guild Wars and is contradicting what Alex Weekes said about weapon requirements.
2. Both of your swords has no Weapon Upgrade (Hilt or Pommel)

1. If you meet or exceed the requirement, you will deal damage within the range listed. 2. If you do not meet the requirement, you will deal damage within a range not specified (though very similar to a 'starter' weapon). Also note that your attribute has a passive effect on damage and the likelihood of critical hits (and thus more damage) independent of the weapon requirement. The requirement sets the 'base' damage range the game uses, which is then modified by the passive effect to reach the final damage actually dealt. As for the difference between swords and axes ... a max damage sword and a max damage axe should, over time, deal roughly the same average damage. Ignoring criticals and other modifying variables, a max damage sword has an average damage of 18.5, while a max damage axe averages 17 (using simple math, not sure if those figures are 100% correct within the game engine). The axe has a larger variation, and thus an axe deals more damage on a critical hit. As you correctly pointed out, though, one of the biggest differences is in the skills available and the effects of those skills. Think about this, though ... we know that a higher attribute score makes criticals hits more likely. So when comparing damage output between an axe and a sword, at low attribute values the difference is probably negligible. But at higher values the axe will probably be dealing more damage because of the more frequent critical hits. Also, an axe works better with Wild Blow than a sword does (because of the higher critical on an axe). There's a lot to think about when it comes to deciding which weapon to use . __________________ Alex 'GhostRaptor' Weekes Guild Wars Community Relations NCsoft Europe |

FoW, UW and HoH reward chests. Not chests you have to pay for. Personally, I think that the crystalline sword situation is all one big bug and they should drop from monsters or Anet are making the most exclusive and best looking weapons for their beloved class, the warrior.

I prefer HoH...lol you get fame and sometimes a crystaline,but ive only gotten sigils so far 
Priest Of Sin
ahh, crystaline swords. I've only ever had ONE drop, it was in FOW, from the chest in front of Rastigan after the first quest. I nearly shat myself...

Crystallines also drop in the southern shiverpeaks from mobs. I've been around to see it happen, but most drop from keyless chests.

If anyone here lies again, I swear...
Crystaline swords have been confirmed to drop from ANY unlocked chest. P-E-R-I-O-D... That's it... that's all... nothing else...

Erm... It's funny how people claim they "KNOW" that crystallines only come from unopened chests, but that is only because they never heared of them dropping elsewhere.
I can tell you for a fact that the do drop from certain creatures in the southern shiverpeaks as me and a friend did dual runs there and he got one.
As for which creature it was... i'll not tell, thats a secret for just me and mates.

^^ Post a screenie of a monster dropping it. You can block the monsters name since its such an uber leet secret. Until then, nobody believes you.

If I had the power to ban someone for saying such complete crap I would. It is the biggest waste of server space and you are spreading false information which is lies.
Retribution X
Ok, Lets set the facts. I have farmed over 4300 hours on my monk. Not a single crysteline dropped from an enemy...
I've farmed over 1000 hours on my warrior, never had one drop from anywhere but an unlocked chest.
I've cleared the shiverpeaks a few hundred times. Including Ice dome. Never had one drop.
Unless you have proof, Nobody will believe you.
I'm not saying they can't, just there is Absolutly no evidance of it happening.
Fixed some major errors in there. We HEAR lots of crap about it. But nobody EVER seems to post a screenie.
Post a screenie, and I will believe. (Unless it proves to be fake.)

The Herbalizer
Lost Strongbox in drednoughts dirft and the lost strongbox outside thk would be the only chests in the southern shiverpeaks which could drop them. they have been nerfed so crystallines cannot drop there now.
only places are:-
kilroy quest reward chest = purple
fow quest reward chest = purple
hoh chest = gold

considering i own 7 crystalline swords, and all but 1 was aquired directly from the person who got it (and in each case; from an HoH chest) i'd say that your BS theories of them dropping from NPCs in the southern shiverpeaks is nothing but wasting anyones time.

I don't suppose this happened recently either, did it? =)

according to guildwiki, this item dont drop.. only found in random chests in fow/uw or sometimes in an oro run.
Kael_
they drop in chests that doesnt req keys and so... but sadly these chests were nerfed i.e. the lost strongboxes...
OMFGimCUTE
You mean Crystaline swords? they dont drop for anyhting. you only get them for chests in FoW and i think in hoh, dont know if thier still there tho.
Fain Dreamkiller
intresting, where we're these chests? i think they were just a glitch if they didn't need keys
Plazma Knight

Fain Dreamkiller

Former Ruling
Keyless chests weren't a glitch. They used to exist in explorable areas, now only as quest reward and the HoH Chest.
The explorable area ones mostly dropped white items, and some purples. But the problem came that people "ran" these chests because it didnt cost anything in hopes of a Crys. Sword drop - because even purple ones with low dmg mods sold for 100k+
The Hall of Heros chest is the only confirmed place to get Gold Crys. Swords.
