Demise is hella short, and half the mobs can be run by without even aggroing them.

either i suck at not aggroing or my spawns suck alot
i can never get there alone

Went there as a solo farmer using my W/Me build, and cleared out all but two Ice Imps(those damn Shadows overwhelmed me). Got nothing outta that run. =/ So instead, I went with a 5-man PuG as a healing monk and lo and behold, an IDS!

Exciting.

I feel your pain

On my last run, I encountered a group of about 20 imps. Spent a good bit of time trying to clear the area to find, yep, nothing

I guess I'll try my 5th run soon, but I'm wearing out a bit

Getting there just to have an unsuccessful run is a bit disheartening after the fourth time.

Katari · Dec 22, 2005, 04:30 AM // 04:30

Well, I managed to make it there solo with a warrior of my own. Using:

Flurry
Evicerate
Exe Strike
"Watch Yourself!"
Dolyak Sig
Heal Sig
Sprint

Effectivly an axe version of the build Racthoh had. I ran past everything, fighting only Imps. If I go again, I think I'd like to try swaping out Zerker's and Flurry for Elemental Resistance, along with some other attack skill.

Got one sword, then lagged out... bah >_<

I've gotta to go sleep, eairly final tomorrow... I'll post a SS when I get back from finals.

one up on racthoh...

imaginary friend · Dec 22, 2005, 04:42 AM // 04:42

I still gotta get one.... tomorrow will be my day

l Selling God l · Dec 22, 2005, 04:44 AM // 04:44

I don't understand why so many people are doubting it's existence. EVERYONE has one.....NO it is not a collector item, yes it is a drop from an Ice Imp, and a VERY common one. I went out on a quick run to grab myself one and 5 dropped, and NO ONE sell for 1,000,000 Gp...STUPIDITY....its as common as a regular fiery dragon sword if not more.

Lichtenberg · Dec 22, 2005, 04:56 AM // 04:56

OMG! i need help more than ever now!
i see people offering up to 25k for them

i need help on this
i cant get past the areas circled by the black lines, thats where the ice golems/heretics are and wont let me run
(see pic)
plz? help

Since ALL the IDS drops are blue(white) with perfect mod, this is a glitch and an update should correct/delete the mod if the devs care about the economy in this game; OR it`s meant to be a collector item once the Christmas update goes live.

Racthoh · Dec 22, 2005, 05:04 AM // 05:04

So we are even then Tom...

Take the path inbetween the two black squares and watch the patrols.

They are a common drop in that one area, and they aren't any better than a craftable weapon or a collectors. After a short while people will relise that they are only worth a few 'K', as they can only have one upgrade due to the hilt already being used.

Great save on their part. They risked losing a few players if they didn't give them something new and shiny to look at.

Yes, good coverup.

But will these IDSs drop after new year too?

Two April Mornings · Dec 22, 2005, 06:38 AM // 06:38

it is now not as rare as a gold fiery dragon 15^50 - if anything, IDS made FDS more valuable in my mind

XtrmEend · Dec 22, 2005, 06:54 AM // 06:54

Whent on 4 succesfull runs, only 2 sword drops in 2 different runs, non for me

heist23 · Dec 22, 2005, 06:57 AM // 06:57

i'm just pondering here, but if they drop from Ice Imps, then is it possible to have them drop in different locations? like Grenth's Footprint, or the Ice Caves of Sorrow?
