=W/Me IDS Solo Farm Build=

Solo build to farm Icy Dragon Swords dropped only by Ice Imps in Mineral Springs Cave.

Armor
Sentinel%27s Armor (100 AL - 20 while Strength is bellow 13) from Cantha (Factions, 1.5k piece set). If you are a Prophecies only player you may get it in The Fissure of Woe from the The Eternal Forgemaster too but it's a 15K piece set. The second choice would be Dragon Armor or Platemail Armor (90AL + 10 vs Physical, 1.5K piece sets available in Droknar%27s Forge).

Runes:
Superior Strength, Minor Tactics, Minor Swordsmanship, Superior Absorption and Superior/Major Vigor.

Attribute Points and Skills:
Points Left: 1

Swords
Bring some Fire Damage sword like a max/perfect Fiery Dragon Sword - FDS (kind of hard to get) or a collector´s sword with a Fiery Sword Hilt. I use the one from Merin Trollsbane or Cinder Linnwood, a customized long sword req 9, max damage (15-22) and damage +15% (while in a stance), since you will be all the time in a stance with Elemental Resistance.

For the suffix I use a Sword Pommel Of Defense (+5 armor).

Ice Imps are imune to Fire Damage, but Siege Ice Golems take double damage from it (helps to take them down faster). I don´t know how Mountain Trolls, Azure Shadows and the Ice Beast react to Fire Damage, never tested it. But maybe you could use a second weapon/shield set with a Barbed, Furious or Sundering Sword Hilt to fight them.
