Talk:Icy Dragon Sword

Since these have become pretty popular, I know there're a couple of solo W/Me builds over on guildwarsguru forums. Would an external link be okay? Normally it's not a thing I'd add to a lowly item article, but since they only seem to drop in that one area, and having an "IDS Farmer" article here would be, well, mostly just ripping off other info.. an external forum link seems a proper addition. --Nunix 14:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Speculation on IDS
At the time of this writing The price for IDS's has undergone a gradual decline. They started out at 100k+ and are now routinely selling for 55-60k. The drop rate by the imps seems to have slowed dramatically, however enough are still being found to keep the area popular by farmers. There is rumor that the sword will be discontinued after the 2005 Christmas patch is removed. This rumor has not, to my knowledge, ever been verified. If the IDS is now a permanent fixture in the game then, just as it's brother the FDS, it should under an even more pronounced decline in price and stabilize at some supply-and-demand point. If, however, the IDS is indeed a limited time drop then we should see the price increase to the 100k+ value again, similar to the HoD Energy sword. Until the rumors are resolved, one way or the other, this is all speculation based on what's happened with other items in the past. --Daremo 19:00, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * We don't even know if the sword was 'just added' with the winter changes. I've heard rumors of a "blue fiery dragon sword" long before the IDS became known to all.  I think the problem is not many people went into that cave because its not an easy place to fight at.  I do not believe it will simply go away when the patch is done. | Chuiu 19:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It has been confirmed in Lion's Arch by Gaile that the IDS is a permanent addition to the game. She supposedly further stated that they will not be common.  My feeling is that they are pretty common now. The price has dropped to 40-45k and it seems that a large number of people seem to have multiple ones to sell. This is like the time the furnace exploded at the boarding house --> roomers are flying everywhere  --64.0.131.194 00:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The anon edit de-linked a second linking of "Sword" in the article, but kept a second linking of "Icy", I just de-linked the second (superflous) linking of Icy. --Rainith 11:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
