Guild Wars 2

Where can I farm destroyer lodestones aside of the large and heavy miner’s bag.

From my own experience of making Volcanus…. DON’T farm PvE just for destroyer lodestones. Locations are too few and the drop rates are too low for PvE farming to be efficient. Mega Destroyer event last too short of a time and not always there, bags are easy to farm but really really hard to get destroyer lodestone or core out of them. My advise for you is to farm CoF path 1 with omnom bar and/or gilded infusion. Use the money you earned to buy lodestones or cores from the trading post.

Sometimes you can buy cores and forge them into lodestones yourself to save money, but you’ll have to check the prices of cores, lodestones, and crystalline dust. Also, a small tip that you should know is that if you want to buy them with gold, don’t buy now. Wait until one or two weeks after the April update.

May I ask why?
What has been announced for the April update?

Thanks.

I honestly get the most destroyer lodestones/cores from the heavy miner bags from the dredge fractal and from the maw chest. I get them pretty regularly.

The time it takes to finish daily fractal can be used to run CoF path 1 for at least 4 times or more. While FotM has a chance of rares dropping, CoF always guarantee the same reward for the initial few runs.

That’s true. I just find fractals more fun than running CoF p1 over and over. I seem to get them more from Fractals than from CoF. Might just be me.

In Cof I only get molten core/lodestone not destroyer’s.

I think the point is to farm CoF for the gold and then just buying the destroyer lodestones.

Having built both Volcanus and Destroyer weapons…. just farm money and buy cores, then upgrade them to lodestones. I get some destroyer lodestones from Orrian jewelry boxes, but I’ve opened hundreds of boxes and gotten less than a dozen lodestones.
