Alternate way to buy Icy Rune Stones please

[Heibi.4251]

It doesn't happen often but there are times that "the pact has failed to destroy the Claw of Jormag". When that happens there is no way to purchase Icy Rune Stones. Please create a way to purchase Icy Rune Stones that are not connected to an event. Add the Rune Stones to another vendor somewhere else if need be.

Would this suggestion then lend to even less players for the event?

[Cyninja.2954]

I have crafted nearly all T1 legendary weapons (crafted, not purchased off the TP) over the last 2 years (and some before that to sell).

The amount of times the vendor for Icy Runestones was not up, I can count on 1 hand.

Here is what you do:

- as you get closer to finish crafting the legendary, think to check if the vendor is up

- check ideally after the boss has finished or not right before the event starts

- potentially buy 100 or 200 spare Icy Runestones if you know you have multiple legendary coming up to craft 

This is an absolute non issue and can be solved with minimal amount of foresight and patientce.

Probably not. It's really not that often people need rune stones. I don't find it an issue though. 

[alteriel valie.4751]

wait,that npc is connected with the event?
i've never seen him missing!

[ArchonWing.9480]

It can happen if Jormag fails. But I have never fought the claw in many years and have never had a problem getting to the vendor.

That one time can be frustrating though.

If for some reason I do have to fight the Claw, it'll be a dark time, and maybe I'll be forced to spend like 10m on it. I wish they'd retool the fight.

Well, no one is fighting it and it will fail again. No LFGs up either.

You sure you aint on a overflow map?

[Super Hayes.6890]

I thought you could buy these from the mystic forge attendant as well. Am I mistaken?

[Heibi.4251]

Nope- only in Frostgorge

[Ashantara.8731]

Just tag up and create a LFG squad. I have no doubt that enough people will join for the boss fight.

This is absolutely trivial compared to all the other stuff you have to put up with to craft a legendary.
