This heavy, glittering shield is crafted out of a solid slab of thick ice. Leather bands attached to the back of the shield provide a surprisingly effective method of wielding the object, though you cannot fathom how they remain affixed to the item's frozen surface. You obtained this remarkable, enchanted shield after a long series of victories over the ice troll in its remote, frigid lair. | ||||||||||||
Note: This item varies in power with its level (from 1 to 8). See the item page for how to reference versions of it. |
Obtained at[]
You need to beat The Cave of the Ice Troll 36 times. Since you need 7 days of visiting the CHR to unlock Moonpath, you need at least 42 real-word days to acquire this item. Probably more, since the 24-hour timer on the Cave will probably force you to skip a day or two
Unique Features[]
When you first get the shield it is damaged and unusable. You get 128 general XP for restoring it by using the Glittering Ice Shard in a SAFE location.
After adjoining the Glittering Ice Shard to the Glittering Ice Shield, the shield gains the ability to be leveled in a SAFE location (up to level 8). By expending some of your general XP on it, your shield gains MR and SP bonuses.

Melting[]
The effectiveness of the shield will decrease as it begins to melt, and you can restore it by infusing it with a small amount of your general experience.
The first reports of the shield melting were on October 12, 2008 (Original report).
- The shield can melt at any random time: It can remain frozen for days (or months) but some days it can melt two or more times
- Each time it melts, its effectiveness goes down one level (-2 MR and -1 SP)
- You must pay 32 General XP to recover each level "lost" through melting
