An Ice Merchant's Dream

An Ice Merchant's Dream walkthrough

The second quest, An Ice Merchant's Dream, is also taken from Rafforty in Ice Merchant Cabin; do The Other Side of Truth first, otherwise the items for the way to the RB will not drop. In it you have to kill mobs in the labyrinth: Silver Ice Crystal will drop into the quest inventory, and they can be exchanged with Rafforty for Black Ice Crystal, but they do not interest us now. And from time to time (rather rarely) Silver Hemocyte will drop into the ordinary inventory, the items needed for the way to Sirra. Every member of the party must have 10 silver hemocytes.

1. Ice Merchant Cabin. Take the quest from Rafforty.

   

   

2. Frozen Labyrinth (teleport from Town of Schuttgart). Hunt Massive Maze Bandersnatch (lv. 54), Lost Watcher (lv. 53), Lost Gargoyle (lv. 55), Frost Buffalo (lv. 61), Lost Yeti (lv. 62) until you have: Silver Hemocyte ×10.

   I will tell you an interesting way to farm the hemocytes quickly. As you probably know, if you take a group of mobs in the labyrinth and, without touching the central mob, hit only the minions, they respawn briskly and attack you. I run into the first corridor, lead aside a bunch of eyes or a bunch of gargoyles and hit ONLY the minions. In 15-20 minutes I farm 10-12 hemocytes this way, and that after I had tried dragging trains all over the location and only 4-5 hemocytes dropped in an hour.

   

   

3. As soon as everybody has the needed number of items, the whole party goes to the closed bridge. Many people try to convince me that a full party is needed for the way to Ice Fairy Sirra. That is not so. The official description of the game says: "Only a party of two or more members can enter. All party members must possess 10 Silver Hemocytes gained through a quest." All this was added to the game back in C5, and nothing was changed on Interlude.

4. We go to the bridge buried in ice, and the party leader talks to the steward. You are given only 35 minutes for everything. If the RB is not attacked in that time or you are all killed, everything has to be started anew: farming the items and so on. The description of the raid boss itself: Ice Fairy Sirra.
