They're randomly dropped by the bosses throughout the area

Bosses drop them. I got The Shadestone from the Grenth boss with a similar name.

They can drop in Sorrow's Furnace, but they rarely do. If you want to go boss farming, stay in Grenth's Footprints.

They ONLY drop from bosses and it is not a sure drop. the way I heard it explained, you have a 1 in 32 chance per boss in a full group. Even in a full group af non-henchies, there is only a 1 in 4 chance they will drop. I got one on the first night and haven't seen any others drop since even though I have made MANY runs thru GF killing all bosses. I do run with henchies though usually so maybe that explains it.

I have been in many groups since the update either doing the quests or some farming groups. Last night, while attempting the Orozar quest for the umpteenth time, we saw 4 or 5 green drops in one run, everyone BUT me got a drop. I finally got one today, a damn bow for my elem/Mes. I swear ANet is prejudiced against Elem's. We always seem to get the worst or no drops.

And while talking about drops, does anyone know how the game determines who gets the drop? Is it supposedly completely random or are there other determining factors such as the death hit(like in D2, the one who got the death hit got the most amount of the exp), or something like that?
