Does this tour include an end stop in the Ice Caves of northeast mineral springs as well. I so would love another oportunity at obtaining the ever elusive Icy Dragon Sword. This is the only place in the world where it can be found. *side note* those that have booked passage on the "Defend Droknar's Forge" tour will not be able to venture into this cave, as the ice imps will not come out from hiding. Also, the elusive Eidlon hides nearby for those that wish to infuse at the end of their trip.

I also have a question about TOMES,

If I unlock a skill with Balthazaar faction, can I then use a TOME to get that skill on my bar?


If so, how exactly.

James

Once you unlock a skill with Balthazar faction, you can buy it from any skill trainer of the corresponding campaign or learn it with a tome.

Once you have the skill unlocked and you have a tome, just double-click the tome and a window will pop up that shows all the skills available for learning that you've unlocked.

If you have an empty slot in your skill bar, the new skill you just learned will be placed in the empty slot (I think).


And I've been meaning to cap Unyielding Aura and Mark of Protection eventually, so I'm up for this.

wow that's sounds fun
I might not be able to make it
but be prepared it's a really hard place to go around
trust me I know ><

Yeah I used to hunt up there a lot years ago. It was a very challenging area for a warrior and 7 henchmen. I think with a party of mostly humans and a few heros we will knock it out fairly readily. Also, I know there is a warrior farming build for that ice cave so if I can re-find it, I am going to load most of it on my skillbar once we hit granite citadel.

UPDATE: The first run at this had a fairly poor showing with only Di, Animus, and sad Witchy going. However, it was a fairly good run with each of us capping 3 or 4 elites and Sad Witchy getting her elite armor infused at the end. Alas, a poor spawn of ice imps made for no Icy Dragon Sword drop.

I strongly urge a repeat of this run. I know I could do it 2 or 3 times on the same character just for the elites. Let's try this on a weekend.

Pampered

I had a ball, capped 3 elites. next time I want to take another toon, maybe my monk if I can get her thru the dessert. I think we only rezzed one time....maybe 2. Would have been better with more ppl.
