Crystalline Swords are '''extremely''' rare, many players will never see one of these weapons. They occasionally drop from the chest in the [[Hall of Heroes]], as well as chests (both locked chests and quest reward chests) in [[the Fissure of Woe]]. They have also been found as random drops in the [[Crystal Desert]].

Dye

Applying dye to this sword affects the hilt (the gold part of the sword in the image). It also seems to make the color of the dye appear a little brighter or off-tint (such as a yellow being a bright, slightly green color), when coloring the shaft in one color, the blade gets the inverted color in the icon. Before an update, Crystalline swords when dyed would affect the entire blade, tinting the crystalline blade a different color.
