Maybe you mean the Flamesaws (exotic), which are from the "Ryland Steelcatcher's Footsteps"-Achievment. The Frostsaw (ascended) is a RNG-drop from Dragonstorm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS on a mule alt. i suspect the loot % rng was more higher on first months and they "fixed" later, because i still do that event regularly, but is perhaps 6 months+ its didnt droped more.

The Frostsaw is the ascended one, yes. Don't know, if the RNG has changed, my alt acc got it on the first day, my main still hasn't got it despite doing it for weeks.

Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Ok, getting Frostsaws can be a pain. I been trying almost every day since release and have to get one. 6 gift of aurenes later and numerous volcanic weapons. I love these skins, but still pining for this Frostsaw skin. That’s the only one I ever really wanted!! Why does it take this long? Can I obtain it with seals please?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh jealous, I’ve gotten multiple frostsaws but not a single gift of Aurene from DS, and only ever the guaranteed one from DF… 😞 the more time goes on, yeah, the more I am in favor of letting some of these things be buyable with seals. Maybe even one-time account purchase, then the rest RNG? Idk. I just am really itching for a second eye… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystical.4586 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Just wanted to let everyone know I think the frostsaw drop is actually bugged. I have been doing dragonstorm for at least 100 times, probably around 150 times, on 2 accounts, and both haven't gotten the frostsaw drop. I recall there was some kind of issue with the loot when dragonstorm released. There's also this mechanic where you need the mastery to get different loot (infusions) from the chest. Maybe we can get someone at anet to quickly take a look at it, to see if anything is wrong? I feel like it's impossible to get the skin because I've done it so many times now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotDelirium.7984 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Dragonstorm needs a revamp. I wish we had our DRM allies in the instance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but "rare drop keeps people playing" is a careful balancing act. Too rare, and people steadily find other shinies to chase. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the reason why I think it's actually bugged (for some accounts). Most of my guildies have the same result; either 0 frostsaws or a lot of them. Let's hope they implement some fix for tonight's patch. Also, I got an eye once on the alt account, so it's rare but it dropped (few months ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loot is still horrible for a 30+min event. And most likely nothing will ever change, after all it's "old" content. They haven't even done anything about making the Twisted Marionette event more visible and/or adding more attractive loot. One has to wonder... P.S. 30+ mins for a Dragonstorm meta run is a bit exaggerated. 😉 Say 20+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take up to 40+ mins if your unlucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appelflap.5017 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) (dec 3) Its bugged u cant tell me after 240 tries the droprate is not bugged. i commanded i was active and still nothing. how can it be i made leggy armor, the legy ring(WvW), got the legy amulet but in the same time still not a ascended drop Dec 10 Got my Saw today. i use different characters. so maybe it help or stil RNG Edited December 10, 2021 by Appelflap.5017 got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It having a low drop rate doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s bugged. Edited December 3, 2021 by mythical.6315 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deatine.2498 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Back then we had the ascended antique weapons, and a special variant of that could only drop from Tequatl. Same for the first ascended armor, a special variant could only drop from triple trouble. Most people never dropped either. This time, a special ascended variant of the flamesaw weapons can only drop from dragonstorm. I think a guaranteed drop after X tries is a good system (as with Aurene's gift), but I'm just saying, the drop chance for the frostsaw is not an outlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only 1 auene's gift after 1000 open chests then other 15 are rng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystical.4586 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 No doubt this is bugged for accounts that unlocked the mastery line before playing the story. For those accounts it can never drop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
