Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to forge the "Svanir Greatsword" (a.k.a: The "Frozen Greatsword"). Now I've heard a lot of talk about deer tokens and being able to simply weaponsmith the sword at lvl-400, so I'm here to clear up all the hear/say. What si the REAL way to get this sword?

Must be one of the untested recipes from here: http://wiki.guildwar...e/Other_Weapons

Sorry, not on that list. Does anyone else have any ideas on how to make it???

Go to Frostgorge Sound, near the Earthshaken Waypoint there is a Vigil Camp that is used to fight the resident Dragon of Jormag. An NPC there will appear after killing the Claw of Jormag and sell Corrupted Weapon Recipes for about 4 silver each.

Each Recipe requires a Shaman's Etched Weapon and 30 Corrupted Lodestones to make a Corrupted Weapon. The Shaman's Etched Weapons are all exotics that seem to be obtained randomly as drops, mystic forge, map completion, etc... the Corrupted Lodestones are dropped by Icebrood creatures in that area as well, Elementals seem most common though.

Here's a thread that discusses these recipes a little bit:

Oh and as a gift, here is a screenshot a friend of mine made after he made the weapon:

Edit:
You will need 400 Weaponsmithing if you are aiming for the Greatsword. For any others they follow the basic rules of weapon crafting. So the staff requires Artificer, bow requires Huntsman, etc...

Thanks a million EliteZeon! That's what I was after.   I appreciate the assistance man.

I've heard that the chest left by Claw of Jormag can give rare/exotic weapons with these skins.  I haven't gotten one myself so I'm not 100% positive, but I've seen people linking in chat them after defeating the dragon.
