Gate of Ice

This mission is required for Family Attribute quests. The unique loot of this raid is Ice Gate Weapons (ATK Rating 32) with innate ice damage, but with lower (almost half) base attack.

Mission Information
Location: Coimbra Nimrod Bridge (I8)
Frequency: 1/week
Duration: 60 minutes (Inside Ice Wizard's Tower) + 30 minutes (Novia's Parlor)
Participants: 1-30
Entry Cost: 10 Black Magic Stones + 2,500 reputation points
Requirement: None

Black Magic Stones are dropped by all monsters (except Glacial Valkyries) in Ice Wizard's Tower. The stone will impose [Curse of Demon Stone] status on all characters, which imposes the following - ATK -50%, ATK Speed -50%, Move Speed -50%, Max HP -30%, HP Regen reduced, SP Regen stopped. The debuff is applicable only within Ice Wizard's Tower maps (both field and mission). To remove [Curse of Demon Stone] status, simply drop the stones from your inventory.

All monsters except Griffon are especially vulnerable to lightning, so Beatrice and Elementalist excel here. Some monsters deal ice damage, so have Emilia or wizard use [Magic Barrier] or [Anti-Magic Shell] skill. You may redo the mission without paying the entry cost again, so long as you have not loaded the 2nd mission map (Novia's Parlor).

A. Inside Ice Wizard's Tower
The first map is essentially the 5th floor of Ice Wizard's Tower. There are 8 side rooms and 1 central hall. All monsters may drop Rare Book of Combat/Shooting/Magic (drop rate 1/1,000) and Artisan Belt Recipes (any type; drop rate 1/16,000).

Kill 8 mini-bosses in the side rooms. Not every room has a mini-boss, and some rooms may have 2 mini-bosses. (The allocation of mini-bosses seem somewhat random.) There are 2 mini-bosses of each type. A mini-boss is slightly larger than its normal version. When a mini-boss dies, a crystal will appear on its spot. So if you are unsure if what you killed is a mini-boss, simply count the number of crystals as you move from room to room.

When the 8th mini-boss dies, a zone notice will say: The gate leading to the Central Hall is open. A gate will appear on its spot instead of the usual crystal. (If the gate does not appear after the 8th boss, it means you have taken too long, and one of the earlier bosses have respawned.) Click on the gate to move to the central hall. Kill Elminor.

When it is dead, a gate will appear and a zone notice will say: The entrance to the Room of Novia is open. Click on the gate to open the mission lobby and create a mission room for the next map.


B. Novia's Parlor
This map is crawling with the usual ice monsters - Glacial Valkyrie, Elminor, and Elgum. At the start, you should kill off some of them to avoid lagging and being knocked down later on. Note that you may not use Teleport Scrolls to avoid them within the mission. Once you are ready, move forward. Novia is guarded by 2-3 Griffons. You may kill them first, if you want.

Novia can cast [Frozen Shield] on herself, increasing her block by +50 for 90 seconds. If you are using melee/shooting characters, use [Whole Cancellation] on her to remove the buff. She may also inflict [Freeze] status, which can be removed by [Recover] skill.

When Novia is dead, a zone notice will say: Treasure box has appeared in the centre. Actually, the treasure chest is near its spot. When you open the chest, a zone notice will say: The mission will end after 3 minutes. Now, you may kill some monsters to collect Black Magic Stones for the next time you want to do this mission, if you like.


Reward
Novia usually drops Lv.100 Enchantment Chips (6) and Veteran Enchantment Chips (3). Bonus roulette costs 5,000,000 Vis. In v19.71.76, the bonus roulette rewards twice the number of times as normal on Saturday. The following roulette table is based on American game client (v20.03.13).

FIELD RAID: ICE WIZARD'S TOWER
The field raid is reset right after maintenance. Its respawn time should be 4 days 4 hours 48 minutes. You need a total of 220 Black Magic Stones. Once the way is opened, you may also use Teleport Scroll to move directly to the entrance to the next floor. You may enter the tower via Snowfield of the Ice Wizard (K5, channel 1 only).

Ice Wizard's Tower - 1F
Drop 10 Black Magic Stones in each of the 4 Sealed Crystals (D6, E3, I6, and H3) within 10 minutes of each other. This will open a gate at F7/G7, which moves you to the northern area where you can enter 2F at F2/G2.

Ice Wizard's Tower - 2F
Drop 10 Black Magic Stones in each of the 6 Sealed Crystals (B5, B6/B7, B8, E8, F6/F7, and E5) within 10 minutes of each other. Go to the central room and click on a glowing orb (D6/D7) to move to the crystal room.

In the crystal room, kill all 4 Elbrid. When each Elbrid dies, he will turn into crystallized form. You must kill all 4 of them within 10 minutes of each other. Otherwise, you need to re-kill all of them again. Once dead, you may click on the glowing orb (J6/J7) to return to the central room, then move to the next floor at D5.

Ice Wizard's Tower - 3F
Drop 10 Black Magic Stones in each of the 6 Sealed Crystals (C3, A6/A7, C10, J10, L6/L7, and J3) within 10 minutes of each other. This will summon Elmun at F7. Kill Elmun to open the way to the next floor at F2/G2.

Ice Wizard's Tower - 4F
Same as 2F above, except you need to kill 4 Elminor instead of 4 Elbrid.

Ice Wizard's Tower - 5F
This is the same as the first map (Inside Ice Wizard's Tower) of the mission version. See mission details above.

Ice Wizard's Tower - Novia's Parlor
This is the same as the second map (Novia's Parlor) of the mission version. See mission details above. In the field raid, you may use Teleport Scroll to return to the start point (F9/G9). You may thus lure the monsters away to one side, and then teleport away from them.
