Guild Wars 2

Is there an area where these can be farmed at all? I’ve been running CoF and on a good run I might get two Molten Cores but no loadstones. Or am I just going to have to deal with farming the gold to buy them?

Thanks.

it’s not worth it to farm for materials, farm gold then buy the lodestones from the TP, much faster and more efficient

Molten cores and lodestones are one of the cheapest available because CoF is so easy to farm so the supply in TP is massive with lots of uncutting.

If I had to recommend a method it would be to do CoF path 1,2 to get the 2 gold. Buy some up along with any you can find while in there and then maybe do a little champion farming if you have no better method to get gold. The bags have a chance to drop cores and stones at a fairly decent rare. (1-2 cores/lodes per every 10 bags in my experience)
and while you can’t really choice what cores/lodes will drop. its always possible to sell those to buy molten ones.

I bought the cores and turned them into lodestones. That will cost skill points but I had ones that were being wasted anyway.

I was afraid that farming the gold would be the answer. Having to use gold isn’t a huge issue to me but I like to farm mats when I can. I imagine those loadstones have to come from some place, and CoF isn’t exactly flowing with them for me, so I thought there might be a group of mobs some place that dropped them. Thanks all for the info.

There are ways to get gold that has a 100% chance of getting you gold. There is no such equivalent for getting the items. If drops were implemented in such a way as to avoid streaks then it would be a different.
