Iceclad

Iceclad Guide

Iceclad is the opening Velious hub on Shadowed Eclipse. It starts multiple access threads: Masurt Dok's Velious routing, the Eastern Wastes flag item, Crystal Caverns access, Great Divide access, Tower access, and several Snowfang/pirate side quests. The active custom scripts are mostly hand-in driven, with a few triggered fights.

Main Progression NPCs

Masurt Dok assigns the Iceclad starter task on hail and handles several access hand-ins:

• The Great Divide unlocks Great Divide access through Masurt.
• Eastern Wastes unlocks Eastern Wastes access. Its global item script can also be right-clicked to set the Eastern Wastes zone flag directly.
• Crystal Caverns unlocks Crystal Caverns access.
• Key to Tower of Frozen Shadows is handled here, but the Tower floors are documented separately.
• Joshel's Bandana is also accepted by Masurt for the Joshel side thread.

Captain Nalot starts the pirate cape route. Hand him Lump of Alloy to receive Old Tattered Pirate's Cape. Take that to Balix Misteyes.

Balix Misteyes assigns the next task when shown the cape. He also accepts Frosted Gem and spawns the Shadow Guardian encounter near the tower.

Nelet Durzit is represented by script ID 110059. Show him [1] to receive task 31; later show [2] and he points you to Vas Thorel.

Vas Thorel inspects the Iceclad collection. He accepts [3] and gives [4]. When the later completed piece [5] is handed in, he returns Key to Tower of Frozen Shadows.

Triggered Encounters

General Bragmur has a staged escort/dialogue event. Handing him [6] spawns the moving version of Bragmur. The event walks through pirate/Coldain dialogue and spawns several waves: Kromrif tracking wolves, Frost Giant Skirmishers, Commander Kvarid, Commander Vjorik, and an Avatar of Below finale. Several spawned mobs have 5 to 10 minute depop checks.

Avatar of Below accepts the Coldain rune item in the shawl thread and can reward Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl.

Balix's Frosted Gem encounter spawns NPC 1616. That script keeps buffs refreshed while active. Treat it as a real fight, not a simple hand-in.

The pirate map side chain involves the lost pirate, map pieces, Ami, Nilham, Snowfang fisher, Bloodmaw/gnome captive, and an enraged walrus. The important scripted rewards include Map Binding, Completed Map of Iceclad, Pirate Grammar Manual, and Ice Forged Shackles.

Snowfang Side Rewards

The Snowfang quest NPCs provide older but still useful utility and flavor rewards:

• Ergrez Shortpaw crafts cougar/dire wolf pieces from Iceclad hides and support materials.
• Grizlin Bloodfang combines harpoon pieces into Rune Shafted Harpoon.
• Keref Spiritspear accepts that harpoon and rewards Icy Totem of Protection.
• Ritap/Ratop handle the pirate rope dialogue and Tinkered Rope.

Notable Drops

Many ordinary Iceclad named and trash mobs can drop The Coin of Fate. Its global item script consumes the coin from a top inventory slot and randomly does one of several things: summon a +4 Blessed Arena armor piece, summon special utility items, teleport to Kedge, Befallen, or Beholder, summon a portable banker device, grant an AA scroll, or punish the clicker by reducing HP to 1. Do not click it casually while moving through progression.

Other notable Iceclad drops include:

• Frosted Gem from #pulsating icestorm, used by Balix.
• Mirrored Wristguards of the Tower, a rare zone drop on several named.
• Devourer Jewel of Velious and Echoing Jewel of Velious, very rare Velious jewel drops from select named.
• AA 5 Point Scroll, whose global item script grants 5 AA and consumes the scroll.

Practical Route

Start with Masurt Dok and follow the access hand-ins in order. Do Captain Nalot into Balix for the cape path, then use Nelet and Vas Thorel for the inspection/key route. Keep every access-looking item until it has been handed to the correct NPC. If using Eastern Wastes directly, remember it is a click-to-flag item and is consumed.
