Strikes me as out of character for Anet to give us a little Christmas gift like this and have it be only for warriors. Kinda class-ist, isn't it? Has anyone checked the other inaccessible backwaters of Tyria for new bows, staves, etc?
EDIT: Unless, of course, this isn't a christmas present but a palliative for removing the SoA axe. The developers aren't dumb - gotta administer some nasty medicine to the game? Dangle something shiny over here and we'll all go "oooh, shiny!"

OMG.. so this sucker is real! Time to find this place and farm the hell out of it!

It's one of the most distinctive items in the game, that's why they did it. I never thought anyone would play the "profession card"...HA!

Any /W with 9 swordsmanship can use them.
My necromancer doesn't have Granite Citadel, trying to get there from Deldrimor Warcamp, I saw a group that was going to Citadel. I joined them but they refused to believe I wasn't a Minion Master becuase I was a N/mo.
YAH! Of course the only necros you can play are Spiteful Spirit and Minion Master.
The leader was a 55 hp monk, no less, Mo/W.
Now I have to go all that way with Hechies, and they really suck in Grenth's Footprints.

Ok.. i'm starting a group TONIGHT! at 7:10 PM PST (I'm in California) I'll be using Grim who is W/Monk. So i'll be waiting in Granite Cithdal. Pm me in game to get a group started.

these blades are sweet. if you got a 15>50 chaos axe, it wouldn't be more popular...
if you talked with Dwayna, you'd still be less popular.
If only we got the view of the ice imps who we slay to get these.
Santa knows what else we're gonna get...

the first run I did we had favor and the area around the statue was covered in imps.. four dropped ( I was with fuzzy ,monking)
the second... no favor and few imps no drops

Not that rare, we was 5 people and they dropped 2 swords.. Wonder what people pay for them

Hilt cannot be modified (confirmed)
Sir Skullcrasher

I don't like the sword. Same with the Firery version, I don't like that either.

Drop some crystalline swords at that area than no one will care about the stupid blue flame fiery dragon swords!
tripplesix
paid 25k for mine, i freakin hate going to mineral springs. did i pay to much?
Yichi
Just did a run on my lunch break and got one. A few well known high end pvp people were in the group. these things are drawing out everyone
Sir Skullcrasher
Its not going to be worth 25k when you get those farm bots to stock up on these and sell it for cheap price.
Plus, people now know about this drop areas so it's going to be farm out and the price will drop as the demand and quanity goes up.

masterbeef
Well i skipped in my reading from about page 4 to page 11 so i may have missed it but, do they always drop blue req9 and 15>50? Or are perfectly modded ones like that hard to come by?
Yichi
they always drop that way

Heads off to Mineral Springs. . .

Does anyone remember a month or two back when a post was made regarding a blue fiery dragon sword. Tone of people confirmed seeing the weapon in game and that it was real and where it was dropped and blah blah blah. Then someone on the firends list of this individual posted a quote from the original poster stating it was fake. If this is real nice I am glad they finally did it and I think they should do with other Elements (does not necessarily have to be dragon. Like a Shocking Griffin Sword that is purple or has lightening effect. However I wouldnt get your hopes up about it beig real until you yourself see one in game or receive one. If you do they obviosly arent rare enough to pay top dollar for.
lyra_song
whats weird is...someone was trying to sell this to me in augury a little while back and i didnt believe him.
Honestly...how many people have done multiple trips to Mineral Springs??
ive gone maybe once per character to do skill capping...and i always avoid the ice imps because they are annoying >.<
Maybe this was always there??

EDIT: anyone nice enough to give me/sell me one(cheap-ish)

I just got one about 20 minutes ago after 3 hours of farming, and sold it for 50k. So whoever bought one for 25k, you got a deal.
However, since so many people are going for them, I guess I Got lucky in selling it for 50k. They'll soon be flooding the market with them.

Since the "Icy" part is not in blue can you mod the hilt? Can you mod the pommel? Has anyone tried?
Sir Skullcrasher
so the location is in the cave by Mineral Springs? Anyone confirm that for a fact?
Beqxter
You cannot modify the hilt, but I've seen pommels (ie, Icy Dragon Sword of Fortitude). And I've seen enough screenshots of people posing by the Mineral Springs Seer and in the Ice Cave to be pretty damn certain that's where this happens. I haven't had a chance to go out there myself yet, though.

As for the new sword (already has a nick, "IDS") it's a good specific-use weapon, for fighting fire-based enemies, but not at all flexible.
