I got mine. I'm gonna sell it though and go get another one.
oscarmk
do they always drop with the 15>50 mod????, or how come that blue one in page one has it and its blue.
Racthoh
Always 15>50 
dansamy
They all have it. It's they way they drop. Basically, it is the collector's 15>50 sword with an icy hilt and a blue FDS skin. That's all.

I was a in a 6 man group, 4 barrage rangers with me being the tank, a prot monk, and a healing monk.
We got to the imps faster then any other group i had been in.
We were going to do another run, then the christmas update came and it fell apart

I've seen this sword drop personally myself 5 times, all with the same max mods, ALL are blue.
Never say never.

Well, impossible to put a mod on...

2 5 man runs, and still no drops, this is bad

Dunno about nerfing the drop rate... I got mine just before I heard about the new build.

OK i got one of these crazy IDS today. My guild went in full 8 man gorups about 6 runs, TODAY (drop rate nerf, possible). EACH AND EVERY run we got one single IDS. ill post pics soon for MORE confirmation. Here are the facts, and hopefully enough information for the ignorant, to keep the price real low (yes, i DONT want these to shoot up in cost).
>>Icy Dragon Sword<< FACTS::
-- Found in the North Eastern most corner of Mineral Springs (North from Granite Citadel). Dropped from Ice Imps in a cave with a statue of Dwayna. ONLY FOUND HERE!!
-- Blue lettered text.
-- ALWAYS drops with +15%dmg (while Health is above 50%)
-- ALWAYS a Requirement of 9 Swordsmanship
-- CAN be customized and modified (Pommel only)
-- Is Ubar sexy looking. And my guild is gonna try to get everyone of us one of em to run an all IDS warrior build. LOLz

I had 3 IDS drops after about 10 runs. I sold my first 2 for 50K each and the 3rd for 45K about 10 mins ago.
It's possible, and extremely easy to solo the ice cave. If you build it right, you kill the first mob and get the blessing (3 pips of regen) and you will not need to heal at all.

from my experience they only drop 1 per run. ive done both 5 and 8 man teams. ive only got 4 swords on about 10 or so runs with the groups. it makes everyone mad that i get them but what can i do ? i think they have been around ALOT longer than we think. my brother seen one in Dorknars around 2 months ago. a guy tried to sell it to him and he thought it was fake or bugged so he didnt buy it.
Xenrath
Ok I've done about 5 or 6 runs in total, varying party sizes from 6-8. Altogether I've seen 10-12 swords drop.
I'd say they're rather common.
I dare say it's the novelty/"new" factor at the moment, after a while it will get boring fast sinice it's basically a collector weapon with a reasonable skin. Soon enough people will realise it's just a fiery one with different colour. I think I'll keep my gold fellblade meatcleaver

I did however open 2 shiverpeak chests and I got a max gold poisoners axe of enchanting +16, 15>50 req9 and a smiting rod +9 recharge +9 fast cast, but req 13 so I guess the run wasn't a complete loss Heard rumors that these swords are only being dropped over the holidays? But until I see gaile gray state it in writing, I believe they're here to stay and soon they'll be extremely common.... 50k for one..... you guys are nuts

ive also heard someone say something about a shocking dragon sword they got from a sand elemental in the desert outside of heros. not sure though. i havent went and farmed to find out. more than likely just a rumor they wanted to start
dont feel no pain

You might wanna stick a fiery haft on your axe to farm and armor+5, customize it and its much nicer

They have nerfed the IDS drop rate. Yesterday before Winterday update there was like 2 swords per run with 8 players. Now I soloed them five times and no single IDS drop.
coldslammer
ive soloed it 3x too and no drop
Takeko Nakano
Has anyone seen any appear in Grenths? Or anywhere else for that matter?
Nikki Moonlight
i finally got one ...and you guys are lucky if you saw one every run..i did like 12 runs, and i've only seen two drop in total...
Lord Mendes
hmm *cough* 14 runs.
*cough* not 1
*cough* not 1
4thVariety
2 runs today and not a single one for nobody
Queto
3 solos, no drops...
DevilStick
I am one of the least lucky players - in 550+ hours of play, I have never gotten black dye.
But, I did at least get an IDS last night on my first run. I should probably hold it in case they really nerfed the drop rate. I saw 3 or 4 drop on my run.

nope 15 was just as blank
Lord Mendes
15 and not one dropped for the entire 5 man party FFS.
I am starting to suspect that the drop rate is related to favor of the Gods. I am goin to buy one now, cuz i think they look awesome and not because they are rare.

I did exactly 2 runs this morning, 1st run, 1 drop (not for me). 2nd run (with only 4 in our group b/c our healing monk decided he was going to quit) we got 3 drops of an IDS, and... 2 for me! I had the two (who didn't get one) play rock, paper, scissors to get the other one, since I only need one, and I don't really 'need' swords anyhow. Sharing is so much more fun than selling... 
Too bad one was left with no IDS in our group. He was a good tank.
Afterwards had a lot of fun watching the Observermode! That was really good. Specially with some guilds having players using PvE characters who bring their new IDS's with them in GvG's...
