The Icy Dragon Sword (commonly abbreviated to "IDS"), like its cousin the Fiery Dragon Sword, is a popular 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.
Icy Dragon Swords were blue by default but as of the May 24 2007 update they are now gold (and exempt from loot scaling) by default.
Weapon Stats
Icy Dragon Sword
- Cold damage: 15-22 (req. 9 Swordsmanship)
- Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
Icy Dragon Swords always come with the same stats. However, they can be upgraded with a sword pommel to give them an additional bonus.
Location
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). Even then, such a drop is not guaranteed.
Note: Make sure none of your party members have Defend Droknar's Forge active on his or her Quest Log, otherwise the Ice Imps will not spawn.
The only alternative is to buy the sword from a fellow player.
Dye
Applying dye to an Icy Dragon Sword affects only the hilt. Dyes cannot change the color of the flame. For a sword with a different color flame, consider the Fiery Dragon Sword, which has an orange flame.
