Iceclad

Iceclad Guide

Iceclad is the opening Velious hub for Shadowed Eclipse. It introduces the custom Iceclad task chain, Masurt Dok at the docks, and the first access hand-ins for the rest of early Velious.

Access And Progression

Hail Masurt Dok at the Iceclad docks. He assigns Iceclad Exploration and can send you to Great Divide with the "to go" saylink.

Masurt also handles several access items:

• Key to The Great Divide - grants Great Divide access.
• Passage to Eastern Wastes - grants Eastern Wastes access.
• Key to Crystal Caverns - grants Crystal Caverns access.
• Key to Tower of Frozen Shadows - grants Tower of Frozen Shadows access.

When these are handed to Masurt, the script flags the player. If grouped or raided, same-IP group or raid members are also flagged.

Iceclad Tasks

Iceclad Exploration

Started by hailing Masurt Dok.

Objectives:

• Find Joshel the Large.
• Deliver Joshel's Bandana to Masurt.
• Kill 20 snow cougars.
• Kill Stormfeather.
• Kill The Polar Kraken.

Reward: Gnomey Jones Locker and experience.

Joshel the Large gives Joshel's Bandana, which is delivered back to Masurt.

The Polar Kraken is not just a random kill. The summoning script requires Stormfeather Talons. Hand them to the kraken trigger NPC, then hail after the flag is set to spawn the Polar Kraken. The summon uses a cooldown and will not spawn a duplicate if the kraken is already up.

Further Iceclad Exploration

This stage comes from Balix Misteyes after the pirate cape step.

Objectives:

• Kill 20 shadow guardians.
• Kill Pulsating Icestorm.
• Kill The Scout of Frostbane.
• Show Balix the Bottle of Dye.

Captain Nalot accepts Lump of Alloy and rewards Old Tattered Pirate's Cape. Show that cape to Balix to continue.

Balix can also spawn The Scout of Frostbane when handed the required summoning item.

Final Iceclad Exploration

Objectives:

• Kill 5 snow dervishes.
• Kill 5 dire wolves.
• Kill 5 frost giants.
• Kill Graktar Bluehammer.

Reward: Iceclad Exploration Certificate.

The certificate is part of the Tower of Frozen Shadows access chain. Show it to Vas Thorel, then continue the kit/inspection steps until he gives Key to Tower of Frozen Shadows to take back to Masurt.

Practical Notes

Iceclad is the zone where many Velious access threads begin. Do the tasks in order and keep the access items until they are handed to Masurt or the correct quest NPC. Several steps use hand-in flags and cooldowns, so if an NPC does not respond, verify the prior hand-in was completed.
