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 are blue by default and can not be salvaged for an Icy Sword Hilt with an Expert Salvage Kit.
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.
Dye
Applying dye to an Icy Dragon Sword affects the hilt. Dyes cannot change the color of the flame.
Notes
- Icy Dragon Swords were added to the game on December 20th, 2005. They seem to be an undocumented addition ("hidden Christmas present") by ANet.
- These swords are available year-round. They were believed to be only available during the Wintersday 2005 update, but have since been confirmed by Gaile Gray to be available all year. According to her it is "a new weapon for a new year".
