Obtained at

You need to beat The Cave of the Ice Troll 36 times. Since you need 7 days of visiting the CHR to unlock Moonpath, you need at least 42 real-word days to acquire this item. Probably more, since the 24-hour timer on the Cave will probably force you to skip a day or two

Unique Features

When you first get the shield it is damaged and unusable. You get 128 general XP for restoring it by using the Glittering Ice Shard in a SAFE location.

After adjoining the Glittering Ice Shard to the Glittering Ice Shield, the shield gains the ability to be leveled in a SAFE location (up to level 8). By expending some of your general XP on it, your shield gains MR and SP bonuses.

Melting

The effectiveness of the shield will decrease as it begins to melt, and you can restore it by infusing it with a small amount of your general experience.

The first reports of the shield melting were on October 12, 2008 (Original report).

• The shield can melt at any random time: It can remain frozen for days (or months) but some days it can melt two or more times
• Each time it melts, its effectiveness goes down one level (-2 MR and -1 SP)
• You must pay 32 General XP to recover each level "lost" through melting
