After flicking around on GuildWiki while waiting for a dragon hat, I came across the Bloodstone page.

Quote:

In the current world of Guild Wars, the locations of the following Bloodstones are known:

* The Bloodstone at Bloodstone Fen in the Maguuma Jungle which can only be accessed through the mission. This stone is under the control of the White Mantle and is used for their ritual sacrifices of the Chosen.

* The Bloodstone at the caldera of the great volcano Abaddon's Mouth, which is used to power the Door of Komalie and keep it locked, probably the keystone.

* At the end of the Dragon's Lair mission Glint says that there is a bloodstone in the Southern Shiverpeaks which the White Mantle planned to sacrifice Evennia and Saidra on.

Now, I've seen the Jungle and the Abaddon's Mouth one. I've yet to find Shiverpeaks one, and I'm not even sure it's in the game.
So, does anyone know where the other 2 are, or where to find the Shiverpeaks one?

For more info (the guildwiki link) look here:

Actually I think the shiverpeak bloodstone was in a screenclip thing. I doubt you can find it though.

Bloodstone of preservation in the Shiverpeaks
Bloodstone of aggression in the jungle
Bloodstone of denial in the desert
Bloodstone of destruction deep in northern charr territory
Keystone at Abbadon's Mouth

What I've always assumed... though remember Tyria refers to the continent and the world, so it's possible they aren't in chapter1 at all. Doubt that though.

actually, in iron mine, about halfway through you hear "help me there are dead bodeies in here" or something like that from a shining blade npc. this is the bonus. Ive never done it but couldent the place with the dead bodies a bloodstone?

I suspect that if there was any other bloodstones in explorable areas (and by that I include missions) someone would have found it already. The impeded resurrection zone is a bit of a giveaway, and even if a stone is in a mission (say Iron Mines or Ice Caves), then surely someone would have done the mission purely for exploration purposes and located it by now.

The exception is that there could be a Bloodstone in Augury Rock, and they may not have bothered to implement the impeded resurrection because there isn't anyone there to resurrect you anyway - although that would probably imply that anyone who died to the Doppelganger should be dead permanently.

draxynnic discussed that just above your post. Either they all have the resurrection restriction, meaning there is only one bloodstone in the explorable area of Tyria, or not all of them have it, which opens up the possibility that there are other bloodstones in the explorable area of Tyria.

Two. Bloodstone Fen, and Hell's Precipice. Both have the resurrection impedance.

Ahhh, thats what we haven't disscussed yet. What if they plan on putting Bloodstones in further chapters? I don't remember correctly, but doesn't the Lore book say that the Bloodstones were scattered around the world?

Just looked in the manual, and it says, "As is ever the case with peace, it came to an end when the volcano erupted, spitting out the five stones and scattering them across Tyria."

It's only slightly more complicated compared to having Cantha the continent and Cantha the nation... @_@

like the other dude said, maybe one is in augury rock, ya know that 3 stones with glyphs on them that u gotta step on after gaining the divine fire? the BLACK platform that they're on may be a bloodstone? it sure looks like it but perhaps ANet just decided not to put on the hex thingy for it as theres no point...maybe someone should check around and look for platforms that are black and roughly round...even if they dont give you the res hex.

Can't believe you guys are serious about finding more bloodstones. While you're at it, go find Gwen. . . .

It's not about finding them, it's about pinpointing their location based on environmental effects.

anyone ever look at serenity temple? The circle in the middle has some strange markings on it. Could it be a "burnt out" bloodstone?

Well, our IRL world hasnt been that creative either, I mean "Earth" - even Terra means Earth. Unless some other of our IRL languages has another name for it. Most I know & checked, has diffrent spelling but the same meaning.

And there is frequent among nations (especially Empires) claiming they and their borders are the world (or known world), despite what other nations think and know.

Considering that King Doric dynasty guarded these stones, its fair to assume its within King Dorrics dynastys grasp - and not outside its borders.

Or even an active one. Like in Augury Rock, it makes sense not to worry about having the effect when you aren't going to have people being resurrected anyway. Come to think of it, isn't the Perdition Rock lobby on the keystone, and you don't have the effect there - only when you're standing on a bloodstone during a mission.

Of the one bloodstone and one keystone that are accessible and well known, both have a clear effect on the land around them. Keystone holds the door, Aggression is surrounded by a forest that came alive and attacks everyone. So the Bloodstone of Destruction I estimated to be in northern Charr territory, where the Titans are sourced. They are basically the embodiment of destruction, and are worshipped by the Charr in the north. They are also the likely cause of the resurgent Charr assaults before they were stopped at Orr.

Therefore I don't think the destruction stone is in Ascalonian lands simply because destruction came there from the north.

As for the other two... Preservation seems to be in the Shiverpeaks (ice is preserving), and Denial in the desert (assuming an even spread across Tyria). Anvil rock is possible but bears none of the effects... I would suspect it to be buried deep in the mountain under snow and ice by the point of the game. If anyone controls the land it's in, most likely it is the Stone Summit that control the least hospitable areas.

No real clue of Denial, Augury rock is an idea but there's no evidence besides the importance of the Mesa. It could be at the top of the Mesa, or deep in the uncharted areas for all we know.

The bloodstone in the southern shiverpeaks is in the Ice Caves of sorrow mission, you run right past it while you rescue Evennia...

I guess none of you pay attention during missions :P

Yes, the Shiverpeaks bloodstone is at the end of the Ice Caves of Sorrow mission. It's right near where Evennia and Saidra are imprisoned, but most people don't hang around for very long because of the large numbers of Mursaat patrolling the area (and you aren't infused yet).

However, if you look on your map, it is easy to see a dark, roughly round stone in that area, separated from the rest of the rock by a broken circle of chasms. That is obviously the Bloodstone.

It certainly doesnt look it, but it seems like a likely place to be there. Since the mursaat are gonna kill evennia there. Them and their Bloodstone crazy selves.

They sit on top of the keystone in RoF, Dealessio found the mursaat in the jungle. Probobly by the keystone there (seeing as the Mantle use it for sacrificing the Chosen) and if Avarre is right, the last one is in the Charr lands, once again connecting the mursaat (if not indirectly) to another Bloodstone.

Too bad we whiped the Mursaat out. This could have turned into a nice story arc.

the bloodstone in the ice caves is close to evennia, it's in that huge area in the middle.
