Ancient Swords

[austank]

I think I've finished the main story and explored quite a bit, but have never found any of the "ancient swords" from the musuem, any tips?

Either switch to the public beta or wait for next patch...and you know cross your fingers when the patch drops it doesnt break things :)

After the recent update I’ve managed to found the sun haven and the wither gate. No luck on Nelvari yet (maybe still bugged or I’m just unlucky). For the sun haven one I got it to drop from leafy monster room. To get here just go left past the griffon from your sun haven farm then go to the upper left room(there are like 8 leafy here you can farm). This one is consistent cause I managed to get two from here. The withergate one I got it to drop from the ghost house monster in the withergate forest(out from withergate outskirts fast travel sewer then go down and left). To be specific it drop in the room just before the last one where you can farm dead hardwood and dead heavystone. I believe you can get from any monsters to drop it tho.

All three drop so no bugs there, it's simply a question of luck.

Farming constantly I got the Sun Haven one first day, Nel'Vari in two days and Withergate took 4 days. Just keep at it!

Seconding the leafy room to get the sun haven sword. I was grinding for the elite scorpepper trinket, many many many days and you would think if all being equal the sword would have eventually dropped in that process. I spent not even a full day in the leafy area and got the sword. The big leafs seem to appear more frequently and they seem to drop trinkets more frequently as well. at least compared to scorpeppers.
