Tower of Frozen Shadow is a zone primarily used to acquire Ultimate Charm upgrade tokens, Stone of Heroic Resistance, and Essence of Frozen Shadow (used in making Ultimate Weapons)

Note


Level 1

Alt text
ToFS level 1

The icy floor in this level and the bone pit make this floor difficult to navigate. Cast levitate when you zone in to eliminate the icy floor effect.

Rarely, one of the mobs in the level (most commonly a gnoll) will spawn the boss of the zone, "Large Undead Gnoll" who always drops the key to level 2, and rarely drops Essence of Frozen Shadow 1 (used in the Ultimate Weapon quest). Each one of your characters must collect a key to move on to level 2. Fortunately, the keychain works, so after you use the key the first time, you will no longer need the key on that character.

NPC's in this level drop Stone of Heroic Resistance 1. These stones can be augged into your gear using an Augmentation Sealer (purchased from an NPC in the Nexus), and add +5 to all resists per level, above the resist cap. You can combine two of the same level stones together in the magic box to make the next level, or combine eight stones together to form three levels higher (e.g. stone 1 + stone 1 = stone 2.

I would recommend getting all of your Stone of Heroic Resistance augs to level 3 or 4 first, before working them higher. A level 3 (+15 resist) stone takes 4 level 1's to make, whereas a level 4 (+20 resist) takes 8 level 1's to make, a 5 (+25 resist) takes 16, etc...

The NPC's in this zone can drop v1 charm upgrades for the Ultimate Charm quest, so this is a good place to work on that, although level 2 has a higher rate of drop.

The NPC's in this level also drop weapons with bad stats, but can be sold to vendor for between 1500 and 30,000 platinum each to a vendor (Summon Newbie Merchant (Reward Item), purchased for 10 EZ Credits would be useful here), so it can be a good place for a newer player to make cash.

Level 2

ToFS level 2

Behind the desk you will see a librarian, but rarely the "Angry Librarian" will be there.The Angry Librarian is the boss and key holder to the next level. If she isn’t up in angry form, don’t worry! Killing the mobs here will eventually spawn her.

Clear the mobs, get more resists stones (rank 2 on this level), v1 charm upgrades and ToFS trash loot (the level 71 armor everyone eventually lets rot). Level 2 of Tower of Frozen Shadow has the best droprate for v1 charms on EZServer, so it will greatly benefit your team to stay here, and farm charms and resist stones.

Level 3

ToFS level 3

Level three is the kitchen, dining area and servants quarters. This level is gnolls, suits of armor, skeletons and undead maids/butlers. Nasty little AE’s from most of them, and often you will get clumps of 2 - 8 at once if not careful. The mobs here hit a bit harder….around Halls of Honor/T3 level.

The key holder (an enraged shadow beast) is a LOT more powerful than the other mobs, and can self buff with Stonewall (mitigation). Every mob in the level is his placeholder, so keep killing and he will eventually spawn.

Go right from zone in, around the corner past the kitchen and dining hall to a small set of stairs down into the maid/butler area. In back by the maid’s beds is a mirror out to Iceclad. Past this area and down the hall, around several turns, is the mirror up to level 4

Level 4

Level 4 is a mazelike level. The zonein is NOT safe, so you will need to immediately start fighting, although there is a safe area in the central northwest area of the zone (it appears as a largish rectangle on the map).

The boss of this floor is Cara Omica, who drops a dagger that can summon 10k hp food, the key to level 5, and rarely the essence for this level.

To spawn Cara, you need to kill Amontehepna, and Cara will spawn in the center of the zone, near the zoneout. Amon can be up with a repop, so you can continuously repop the zone to get Amon to spawn. "/target amon" works to check if he is up.

Level 5

Level 5 is the wedding party. You MUST have over 1600 resists to survive on this level.

The boss of this floor is the an enraged relative, who is spawned by killing any NPC on the level, but more commonly from the wedding party.

Nosja or Damon will rarely drop the Ceremonial Wedding Sword. Get the quest from the Roaming Gnome at the entrance of level 1 and turn the sword into him (inside the Caster's Guild) This will give your pets their v3 pet weapons.

Level 6

ToFS level 6b

This level is divided into two sections, "6a" and "6b". "6a" is where you kill the placeholder ("#an Ice Shade"), and 6b is where you kill the boss of the floor (VhalSera).

1600 resist is still good on this level. You are looking for "#an Ice Shade" to pop here to get a key mob to spawn. The one with the "#" will spawn the boss of the level 100% of the time. The one with the "#" will not have white stripes on its cloak, like the rest of the shades, but will have an all black cloak instead.

There are 2 locations that "#an Ice Shade" can spawn

  1. From port in take first left, follow it all the way around, looks like a hook. He can spawn at the south end of the hook.
  2. In the thrown room, to the left of the throne on the west end.

You can either pull/kill PH's or repop zone over and over until "#an Ice Shade" pops. Once he is killed, VhalSera will pop, and she holds the key.

To get to her, from the zonein take the first right and follow it up and around to the mirror, which will take you to the second area of level 6. Once in 6b, VhalSera is located in the room filled with bats up the stairs. It is very difficult to pull her alone, so expect several bat adds to come along. After VhalSera is dead, to get off her little island, there is a mirror located underneath the stairs in front of the zonein of level 6b.

Once your whole team has keys to level 7, go up the stairs on 6b where VhalSera spawn and go right. In the back there is a room with a red crystal on the wall. Clicking the crystal will take you to level 7.

Level 7

ToFS level 7

Kill "#a shrouded bat" to spawn Tserrina. Any of the bats with the "#" can spawn Tserrina upon death. There are 4 PH bats in the north wing, and 3 in the upstairs wing.

There is a death trap, just at the end of the first hall from the mirror up. People walking through the trap take varying amounts of damage, and random. but most toons under 750k HP's will go down. Run your tank through and rez the rest up.

Tserrina drops Tserrina's Whip, a very good weapon for melee classes, since it has a slot for type 8 AND 22 augs and several caster centric items. She always drops Tserrina's Key, which allows you to use the mirror room teleport from level 1 to get to any level. She rarely drops an essence of Frozen Shadow 7 and rarely will spawn Advisor Svartmane upon her death.

Svartmane will spawn in the north room in the north wing. He always drops Master Essence of Frozen Shadow, and a few other goodies, including Spirit of the Ninja.

The Master Essence can be substituted for any of the lower tier Essence of Frozen Shadow when making Ultimate Weapons.
