Guild Wars 2

So I’m going to put this post in two places, here and on the crafting forum since its kind of both.

I have been though at least 15 silver boxes, 10 copper ones and a gold one and have yet to get a single one of these. When I was at the rabbit rank, I seemed to get them pretty regularly. Now that I’m deer I haven’t seen one yet. I’ve read on the gw2 wiki that they should drop in higher rated from silver boxes and so I’ve been trying to focus on those.

I realize that they are only the second most common ingredient after the orbs which I have like 40 of, but it seems like they aren’t dropping at all. Anyone else running into this?

You are just unlucky, they drop don’t worry. Just got 10 crystals today, 5 from items which I created using orbs and rest from gold chests. I don’t buy copper or silver.

Ok, thank you for the input. I hadn’t thought of creating items just to salvage them. I’ll give that a try.

With over 50 items salvaged, between items from chests, crafting items to be salvaged, using tournament tokens in hopes of getting an arcane crystal… nothing. There’s bad luck and then there’s broken. As I said, I got these all the time prior to hitting deer, now they don’t exist for me…
