TOPIC: Cold Climate Weapon Drops

Cold Climate Weapon Drops 12 years 5 months ago #1

How does everyone plan on preventing the cold climate weapon drops?

I'm guessing the popular ones will be ring of frost resist, boots of warmth, and yetti cloak. I didn't see any rare or UR way to prevent it this year. I'm guessing a potion of frost resist using a belt/pouch free action would work, with the pouch as the best option.

What do you think?

I'm thinking of Rings of Frost Resistance across the board. All our Boot slots are filled with Boots of Might, and most cloak slots with the Dougal's Cloak.

I was wondering when someone was going to ask this question. I was wondering it myself. The statement reads "This penalty can be negated by any magical protection that reduces cold damage". I would think that almost anything could work. Nixie cloak I think last year reduced cold damage by 1 per room. The Armor of the Lynx prevents 5 damage. The ring of Gaea does 1. The Supreme ring does 10. As well as the ones that Valetutto has mentioned. These are the handful that I can think of right now.

What does everyone else think?

I can't speak for anyone else... but based on Tokens that I have access to/plan to have, I'll be wearing the Ring of Frost Resistance (it is the least detrimental to my characters combat effectiveness.)

Wouldn't the Ring of Water Elemental Command (and of course the Supreme Ring of Elemental Command) also prevent this?

I'd also like to get a ruling on whether or not the Flask of Survival would work to negate the Cold Climate effects. It certainly seems like it should and would make sense since it was last year's base transmutable item.

I would also like to know if the 5th Barbarian is immune to this as he was chilled damage last year due to his damage reduction. It's seems like a hardy northern Barbarian should be immune?

Also, do last year's items that prevent chilled damage also prevent cold climate penalties? I would hope so.

From what I understand, the SRoEC will prevent this (or anything preventing 1 pt of Cold Damage) so I guess a RoWEC would would as well?

Good catch. If the 2 rings prevent it then there is an UR "fix".
Would be kind of lame if the SRoEC didn't help with some cold hands. LOL

Good question about the barbarian. It would look like they are ok.

If the Barbarians aren't ok, I'll be using the Ring of Gaia. :)
