Guild Wars 2

currently im farming a location in frostgorge sound that has icebrood svanir, icebrood wolves, and icebrood colossus. In hopes of finding corrupted cores or corrupted lodestones. Everywhere on the net i search people say they can average 1 every 30 minutes with and without magic find. I tried 5 hours of running 0% magic find and found nothing. aswell as running 142% magic find and spent another 5 hours and still have seen nothing. Im wondering if anybody has a better spot or if im just an unlucky soul stuck with no gold to spend in game:(

Here is a link to the guide I use to farm corrupted lodestones:

I have never had the success rates he reports but I have had success. I also recommend dungeon farming for gold in order to buy lodestones from the trade post (TP). Fractals are my favorite since I get a higher rate of rare drops which I can salvage for ectos and then sell on the TP. Fractals also tend to drop more cores and lodestones of the varieties I don’t need which also makes good gold on the TP.

Good luck farming.

if i didnt need ectos form my legendary i would be rich lol

Agreed, I have the same dilemma atm.
