Q:
Hotw's chest drops corruped core?

" Heavy Bag of Skritt Shinies
Chests within Honor of the Waves (explorable mode)
Chests within Fractals of the Mists "
No, but the icebrood elementals do.
so….the corrupted are the only core who can’t be dropped inside a dungeon? and now can’t be dropped too from ice dragon’s trash? And this is “normal” for the developers? i don’t think is a good idea to beat botting thing…

the corrupted cores/lodestones drop from the summoned monsters in HoTW.
They also drop from the icebrood in frostgorge (of which there are a ton)
And ice elementals in Orr (which there used to be metric buttloads during grenth)
Every icebrood summoned by Jormag (of which there are a lot)
I do not know if the ice elementals in the snowblind fractal drop them, but I have received one from the chest IIRC.
My guildie farms frostgorge maybe 2 hours a day, and she walked away with 3 lodestones last night.
It may be low (or nonexistent) from chests, but it’s balanced by having the most things that drop it.
Also IIRC crystal lodestones/cores do not come from a dungeon. The only place to get them would be the maw fractal chest and bags of loot (and before that chest existed, it was only loot bags) so corrupted arent the only non-dungeon lodestone.
