Permafrost Keep

- Varied up the names of ice goblins in many instanced versions of Permafrost to prevent a situation where some goblins could fail to spawn when there were too many named the same thing.

ok so these words come on my chat box in yellow saying You Have Been Summoned, and then I get teleported into everfrost peaks, Any Idea why?

IF you click on the door inside of Vox's Lair you can get the Lady Vox's Lair expedition. I zoned in staring at her. Yellow to 90 raid tag. Someone go have fun with her and post the info :P

I actually attacked to investigate. She hits for 20k+. Have fun!!

I've been thru Permafrost several times on different toons, xp'ing and farming Diamond Dust. The only time I have seen the crystal for the Silverwing quest drop is from what I believe is a spawned mob an elite Honor guard I think is the name. Luckily the crystals are tradeable. This mob was in the area just down the hill from Greshvoule, where the sage is.

If you are thinking about heading over to this zone for fast XP, forget it, you will end up loosing more than gaining. First off the Goblins run, some at 50% others between 20% and 50%. When one runs, the whole zone is coming, you can count on it. Took my 29 Necro down here because while in the MM Hot Zone she looted a Silverwing Loop. Ear slot item with AC +8 HP/Mana/End +15 Str/Int/Wis +5 and fire/cold +3 Req lvl 20. Upon looting it she got a quest, which had her seeking out Aiden Silverwing in Crescent Reach, who btw is up on the hill over by the dragons. Quest had her heading over to Permafrost Keep, which I took to be this zone according to the maps, anyway. As rough is it went, with every gobbie banging away at her, she got the Named Barbarian Gustoff or something. 30 minutes latter nothing but corpses littering the the hallway. XP gained, about two yellows, could have done the same with out the trains in MM.

After the slice and dice it took a while to loot all the corpses, and I didn't find the item I needed for the quest. But did find another Questing loot, Silverwing Circlet finger slot AC +10 HP +20 Mand/End +15 Sta/AGI/Dex +4 Cold +3 Disease +5 and again a quest to go see the same guy in CR.

Continued down into the zone trying to find more mobs and eventually found a Red Giant, who had to be dropped by the 58 Cleric following her around. Giant ran and pulled some Giant Spiders who killed the Necro. Trying to get back to the corpse for the Rez the Cleric fell into a hole full of Giant Polar Bears, Giant Spiders and Giant Dire Wolves, Dropped three before she succumbed to battle related injuries...dual rez in GL quickly followed.

So Lesson learned is,

***The watch quests are now some kind of Hot Zone excursion quests with looted stat items, and the Lvl 25 Hot Zone is seriously under conned and brutal when it comes to add's.**** Just ran by the watch quest guy in PoK, so maybe the watch quests are still active for the other zones.

As i didnt see anything on any ice giant, I will give you my experience, I had just now, as I tried to get some diamond dust from them.
I was in with my Lvl 63 Enchanter, and my Aeldorb animation, buffed with all I had. As fight started with them, I can only tell one: Tashanian landed, root landed time to time, Torment of Argli landed ... ANY OTHER SPELL WAS RESISTED!!! NO IMMUNITY ... JUST DAMN RESIST .... NO battlespeed reduction, NO Manaripping, NO Dot, NO DD, simply nothing!!!!!!
I was able to keep my animation alive for a few, but as they always came at least with 2, and then I couldnt eliminate the cleric .. well the thing was eaten ...
That was the most shocking, I ever realized in EQ .. they had been grey to lightblue for me ... and I couldnt do a thing!!!!!
Would appreciate further experience on that...

Uhh gotta admit that it's never a good idea to let one of em ice giants get to flee.. before I could sneeze I had 5 of em on me and some magus, Gated with 2% hp left, and came to PoK dead. >_<
I underrestimated Permafrost!!

I was putzing around on my little Warrior in Perma, and noticed that near the fire room (the room before the flag room, about halfway between there and the Scout) there are two "locked" pieces of ice.

Well, I hopped on my main (who is a Rogue), and both pieces are pick-able, but they don't seem to do anything - or lead anywhere. There's an odd little thing on the ground under the first rock, which is revealed when it's opened, but I couldn't pick it up.

Any Rogues toyed around with this?

I have a sk on Tallon Zek that needs to get herself a prickly pear from this zone. Can anyone give me a strategy for getting this loot without a vox raid? hehe, i mean do i have to have a monk or are the spawns far enough apart, do i have to drop into these "pits" and if so do i need a port out, will i agro vox on the way? i have only been there for raids and dont know what any part of that area is actually like with one group or even just a few friends.. im lvl 50 atm and pretty much all of my hunting partners are 48-52. plz help me...this item is almost never for sale on my server and vox raids seem to be almost non-existant.

Does anyone have any information on the barbarian that now stands in the Flag Room right alcove? He cons dubious and light blue at 50th lvl. He is making this room VERY difficult now, do to the fact that as soon as you aggro the nearest goblin to him, he jumps into the fight and starts pounding you. Considering that most of the other mobs in here in this room are mid-20's or less, it's a very strange place to stick this guy. Anyone know when he showed up or why? I didn't write down his name...starts tigh a G. I killed him and he dropped a no drop pouch of some sort. I'll get the name of him and the item and post it here.

Safe journeys.... ~ Kina

Was using my 56 Cleric, 60 Druid ( to pull with ) and my 44 ( Dinged 45 while down there ) Warrior to kill IG's and Tent mobs. I was working through the giants first, then tents to actually reach the Pits. Noticed a mob on Track, The Ice Witch. NO CLUE What she's for, saw she was Dark Blue to my Druid Track List. My in game wife, Sueriana, 55 Druid, went to pick up a dear friend of ours Raventhorne ( THINK she was a 53 Rogue ) and our Guildie Dalamaretta ( AWESOME WIZARD WITH NON AGRO NUKE - Great legs too ). Upon their arrival, I went forth and buffed PoTG ( Seeing as 4 of the 6 were caster classes and PoTG gives Mana Regen ), Circle of Seasons, Resist Magic, RoTG ( Regrowth of the Grove ) and commenced pulling. After clearing the IG's and Tents there was nothing left to do but float down to the pits. Sueriana Foilage Shielded us and we dropped down. Once reaching the bottom I charmed a Polar Bear and had it kill a wolf encounter we first had. As I sat there I saw The Ice Witch in this cove straight back.
She was Dark Blue and Ready to Attack. We finished the Wolf and prepared for battle.
Athief pulled with Epic Snare, she nuked the crap out of Pant ( Probably due to being the lowest level ) but that's expected seeing as taunt is a hotkey anyway. She went down fairly easy, Sueriana DoT'ing, Dalamaretta Nuking, Raventhorne Backstabbing, Pant hitting, my Snare eating away at her and Nemisisof ( 56 cleric ) Healing those needing it. She dropped a Pure Caster Non Stat Scroll. Dalamaretta looted it. NO CLUE what it's for. No drop as well.
If anyone's seen her, killed her, heard of the Quest it belongs to or whatever... please send details... By the way, Injured Polar Bear drops a PLUS 5 WIS Shaman Only Weapon.

Question on the frost totem that drops here how hard is it to get with a group and how much of a pain is it if things go wrong thanks

My guild is thinking of a possible raid here. Any tips, comments etc would be welcome. Don't know too much about this place. Looking for stuff rather than exp. Thanks :)
