    Do the Cloaked Ascendancy campaign. That is how all of us got them before. We finished that before the next mod dropped. Hence, it was not a year.

    Run the quests. Do the digsites. Run Gyrion's lair until your eyes bleed.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    20 Runs to restore the mainhand. Since you want the Greatsword for the appearance, no need to do the 15 more for the OH.

    Do you have a friend or guild to help you with it? It's way easier to do this in a group, sharing the demi-plane missions. You can follow this guide to help you out with the required materials and ways to get them. I used it to get the Lifeforged Holy Symbol, as the River District weapons are the coolest weapons for Cleric IMO.

    It's not a drop from dig sites. You have to get the following:

    - 3000 Abandoned Treasures. This is a campaign currency that you can get from quests as well as dig sites and HEs IIRC.
    - 240 Evidence of Evil. This is the other campaign currency, you get it from daily and weekly quests.

    Then you should buy a Corrupted Aboleth Sword from the campaign store. After you buy it, you'll need the following materials to restore it:

    - 60 Arcane Magical Writings. These drop from dig sites, HEs and others. They can also be found at the AH.
    - 45 Arcanic Focus. This one comes from quests and are a rare drop from dig sites as well.
    - 20 Tainted Soil. You'll get these ones defeating Gyrion in River District. You can do one of the campaign tasks to get an Aboleth Portal Stone to enter Gyrion's lair. You can also enter with somebody that already have the quest.
    - 30 Volatile Ichor. These come from many places, but you can buy them on AH too.

    As you can see, it's not an easy task. If you truly want that sword, I recommend doing it with a friend or guildmate.

    Did you follow the campaign? You probably can't get anything until you did the basic stuff.
    I believe the dug site has a chest to open when you clean it up. If you do not even see the chest, you probably did not pass the basic stuff.

    There are Arcane Magical Writings in the AH. Not seeing any Arcanic Focus listed.

    Arcane Magical Writings is cheap in AH too. I wish it was that cheap.

    Arcanic Focus are BtC.
