Guild Wars 2

So, I really, REALLY like the look of the Corrupted Greatbow. My issue comes in with the fact I need 30 corrupted lodestones. I know about the spit of land near Ice Flow WP, but is there any better way to get the components without mindlessly wandering up and down in a line? Does HotW give them out? Does anyone even do HotW anymore?

Any help would be really nice. I hit 80 recently and it’s a bit shocking to see that most skins are a matter of grind and not skill…

yes, afaik you can get them from chests in HotW or FotM

There are other locations in frostgorge with icebrood and svanir.
The things that spawn during the Claw of Jormag event can also drop them.
The ice elementals near inactive Grenth/Lyssa statues should drop them as well …
There are also the loot bags dropped by the inquest in Malchor’s Leap and Mount Maelstrom.

There’s also a chance to get them out of the Lost Orrian Jewelry Boxes. You can buy them using karma at any karma vendor in Orr. It’s a good way to spend karma if you don’t have anything else you are using it for. And even if you don’t get Corrupted Lodestones, you’ll get enough other mats to sell to buy some.
