Icy Dragon Sword

The Icy Dragon Sword (commonly abbreviated to "IDS"), like its cousin the Fiery Dragon Sword, is a popular type of sword that is prized for its style. It has a unique look, with its frosty blade (only two twisted "filaments" as a solid core) coming out of the dragon's mouth that acts as the hilt.

All Icy Dragon Swords are blue by default and carry an Icy Sword Hilt that can be salvaged (with an Expert Salvage Kit), but not replaced by any other Sword Hilt.

Weapon Stats
Icy Dragon Swords always come with the following stats:

Icy Dragon Sword
 * Cold damage: 15-22 (req. 9 Swordsmanship)
 * Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)

Acquisition
The Icy Dragon Sword can only be found as a drop from Ice Imps in the ice caves in the eastern part of Mineral Springs (see map below).



The only alternative is to buy the sword from a fellow player. To purchase this sword, the easiest place to find it on sale is in the Granite Citadel, which is the starting point for IDS farming runs.

Prices for the sword started as high at 100k+ when the IDS first appeared, but dropped rapidly as more and more people went farming for them. Now that the sword has become quite common, prices typically range in the 30-60k region, with bargain deals even lower.
