Neverwinter Online Module 3:

Curse of Icewind Dale

By: Igure Sankyou

Introduction:
The new module start with a mensage saying that you are able for
icewind dale, so now, its just get the quest with Sgt. Knox and speak
with the icewind dale traveler on Protector Enclave, next of the
market.
Coming in the to Caer Konig town, just get the quests are able to do,
speaking with the npcs on town til Icewind Pass is open.
To travel for Icewind Pass its necessary to have a contract with a
Mercenary Faction, so you need to chose between Arcane
Brotherhood and Ten Towns.
The differences between the two factions is only the pvp daily
quests and one daily quest of icewind pass.
In this new area to unlock boons and upgrades its needed to have
reputation, its easily to build your reputation doing dailies and at
moment its needed 35 days to max reputation.
As is possible to see in the next picture, the structure of this
campaing is difference and more complex tham DR and Sharandar.
The Baericks Iceforge is the way to upgrade the black ice
profession, been able to refine black ice, forge black ice
enchantments and equipments.
In the right way you can upgrade the areas that are able to travel on
icewind dale, so its recommended to unlock this path as soon as
possible.
The left way is the boons of icewind, some usefull and some
useless.

Icewind Pass:

The icewind pass is a hostile area that monsters have lv 61 and

bosses 65, full of heroic encounters.
Heroic encounter is an automatic event that happens in a specific
area of the map randomic at time, being divided in common
encounters, rare encounters and epic encounters.
The Epic Encounters have a great mark in the map, like the Black
Ice Domination, and almost of them have time to be done, dropping
black ice, epic itens for black ice profession and some equipments
to transmute and use on the black ice craft.

Dwarven Valley:

Its a area full of heroic encounters and monsters at lv 62.

That area have daily quests too with another resource for your
campaing progress. Can be unlocked in 5 days.

Black Ice PvP Domination:

Its divided in 2 phases, first one Domination and Second, Black Ice
Harvest.

In the first phase, its close a normal pvp, but, the differences start
with the question, WIN or LOSE?
So, if you think a little bit it means that the losers of this phase can
win the event in the same way.
The winner of the event is the winner of the second phase, but, its
not hard to explain.
When the classical pvp match ends, its gonna to spawn a Black Ice
Motherlode, on the area of the map, and summon too a lot of npcs
to fight at the side of the winner, BUT, the loser of the first phase can
summon a Juggernalt golem to fight just activating the 3 points on
the map that are marked.
The second phase is just harvest this black ice resource to 100%,
but, if the loser of the first phase steal 100% of their points in black
ice first, they win, thats all in middle of a great battle and two sides
of npcs and monsters attacking each side.
So, whats better? 10 npcs with 30k HP or 1 Juggernault with the
same HP of DK one?
What is the best strategy? Win the first phase or lost?
Thats some questions that need to be answer and just can be done
with the real situation.
