Risia Ice Games
You must have Risia Ice Game Ice Skates to play the Risia Ice Games jumps in the Harbor (the Bogwater half-pipe and the boathouse don't require Ice Skates):
 * Rental Skates that you get from an NPC, which cost 10 White Coins last for 10 minutes
 * Permanent (Bind To Account) Skates are available from the DDO Store

Harbor Ski Jump
Basic technique - don the skates and get as much speed and jump skill as you can get. House P clickie and Jump buff work well here. Go to the start ramp (near the drow in the Harbor) and drop onto the ramp. Run forward, and jump on the upward slope of the ramp. If you have good lift, aim for the next jump (slightly to the left), otherwise try and get a few coins on the way down. On the second ramp, try to land before the up-slope, otherwise you will lose all momentum. Use the up-slope to jump onto the high platform above the ice rink. Turn left and go to the down-ramp. Again, momentum (and timing) is key. Jump at the end of the up-slope and you'll hit the final ramp - again, get momentum and jump at the end of the slope and you'll hopefully hit that purple coin. If you do all the jumps perfectly, you'll get 1 purple, 3 blue and 3 white coins. If you lose momentum on the 'u' ramps, you can, if you're careful, go back and forth until you get enough to proceed. Beware lag - the jumps are exceedingly sensitive to lag. Hot Cocoa from DDO Store teleports you back to the starting point quickly to try again.

Jumping for blue and white coins (no ice skates required) - You can also jump from the houses by the Irestone Inlet quest entrance. It works best if you have a high Jump skill, and Feather Fall. If you switch instances mid-coin you can easily get 2 blue coins per jump, sometimes 3 if you switch twice.

Boathouse Jump
Go to the Boathouse in the Harbor. This can be found at waterlevel across the Harbor from the Lighthouse. and is a small shack with a rowboat hanging off the side. From the top of the Boathouse, looking in the direction of the Lighthouse, jump at the blue coin. With practice and perhaps a Jump potion and/or Feather Fall you will be able to grab it. Also possible, though more difficult, is to jump towards the white coins (on the right as you're looking towards the lighthouse), grab it on the way up and on the way down navigate to grab the blue coin as well.

Bogwater Half Pipe
There are 5 runes on the ice: 2 on the left with buttons, 2 on the right with buttons, and 1 in the center without a button. It is easier to NOT use ice skates here. You need 1 person on each of the 4 buttons, and 1 person standing on the center rune. When all 4 buttons are pressed correctly (might be simultaneous, might be a specific order, we aren't sure), and air jet will go off at the center rune, blowing that person into the air to (1) get coins or (2) land on the high pillar to the left. The air jet sends you in a direction according to where on the rune you were standing. Slightly forward from exact center on the rune might be best. If you land on the pillar, you can (A) jump down with Feather Fall to grab the purple coin or (B) buy and use a Greater Bracelet of Friendship from the DDO Store to get up to 11 other people up there at a time.

It you are using bracelets to get teleported to the pillar:
 * 1) Make sure you have Feather Fall.
 * 2) Form a single-file line and jump down one-at-a-time. The purple coin disappears for a moment after someone gets it: you don't want to miss it due to being too close to the person ahead of you. This disappearing coin may or may not be visual only: some have said that you still get the coin even if it wasn't visible when you passed through.
 * 3) Don't jump until you see the purple coin. If the coin isn't appearing for you, you didn't spend enough time outside the tavern before being teleported up. Go to the back of the line to give the coin more time to re-appear, and/or relog (log out, log back in).
 * 4) White and blue coins are easy to get in the harbor without skates. Only the purple coin is worth getting in Bogwater. If you have wings or abundant step you might be able to get the purple and a white, but don't miss the purple.
 * 5) After you get the purple, leave the tavern for 30 seconds to get the coin to reset for you. Either walk out of the tavern or use /death to go to your bind point (you should bind anywhere except the Bogwater tavern). Note that /death from within a tavern does not damage your equipment.
 * 6) After everyone is out of the tavern but the teleporter, they can use the next charge on the bracelet to teleport everyone back in. They can be anywhere that is a public area (so don't go to the subterraine, as you won't be teleported from there). It used to be that anyone being disconnected when the bracelet is used will cause them and anyone after them in the list to not be teleported; I don't know if recent updates fixed this.
 * 7) If you just made it out of the tavern when the next teleport come up, wait for the teleport to count down some before accepting it. The teleport is available for 1 minute; let it count down to 30 seconds to be sure the coin will be reset for you.
 * 8) If you are teleporting people up, stand at the wall between the 2 pillars, facing the coins. That way, people won't accidentally fall off or be disoriented by being too close to the edge or facing the wall when they appear.
 * 9) If more than 50(?) people are in the Bogwater tavern, the game will form a 2nd instance of the Bogwater tavern. You can then switch instances just after you get the purple coin to get a 2nd purple coin in the other instance. All teleporters should be in the same instance, so that people switching instance mid-air won't get in the way of people jumping. Easy to do if you angle your camera down slightly, line up with the coin (so you only need to walk forward to get it) and use the mouse to click the instance drown-down list before walking. So, you walk forward off the edge, as soon as you get the purple coin you click the mouse on the other instance and get the other coin, /death on the way down.
 * 10) It is common for the teleporter to charge 2 purple coins per bracelet (10 charges). Thus, if the group has a full 12 people in it (1 teleporter and 11 jumpers), the teleporter gets 22 purple coins per bracelet and the jumpers get 8 purple coins (or 18 if switching instances mid-air). Some only charge 1 purple coin per bracelet, some charge 3 purple coins per bracelet.
 * 11) Between teleports, you can run to the Harbor and jump for white/blue coins (from the shack on the pier, or from the houses by Irestone's captain). You can either bind in the Wayward Lobster and use /death, or run outside the Bogwater and use the teleporter (to Marketplace and walk to Harbor) or airship tower (to Harbor).

Eternal Wand Recipes

 * Recipe 1/20 - Coins: White, Blue, Purple
 * Eternal wand of Ray of Frost
 * Festival Twig + 50 Motes of Winter + this recipe card


 * Recipe 2/20 - Coins: Blue, Purple
 * Caster Level upgrade of Eternal wand of Ray of Frost (Max CL:5)
 * Eternal Wand of Ray of Frost + 50 Motes of Winter + this recipe card

Eternal Wand Details
The wand created from recipe 1/20 is titled "+1 Eternal Wand of Ray of Frost" and casts the spell Ray of Frost. The damage rating is 1d3 +1 per caster level and has a caster level of 1. After full upgrades to caster level 5 using multiple recipe 2/20's, it becomes a "+5 Eternal Wand of Ray of Frost." The wand is also automatically bound to character (not account) when equipped. It is not bound when created. The wand is Exclusive (you can only have 1 in your inventory) and attempting to create a 2nd while the first is still in your inventory will consume the ingredients with no output.

The spell's full damage description is stated as "1d3 +1 per caster level (max 5)." The 5 refers to the maximum caster level bonus. Maxing out the caster level through multiple recipe 2/20 transmutations will result in a max hit of 8. This damage can be further improved by the Wizard Wand and Scroll Mastery enhancement chain. For example, Wizard Wand and Scroll Mastery I gives a 25% effectiveness bonus to the wand resulting in a max hit of 10.

Currently, Glaciation VIII and IX are not in the loot tables. If they were, they would fall at level 14 and 16, respectively. Developers made a concerted effort to stop players from being able to amplify their level 8 spells and after. And have only recently started to go back on this, but only with rare raid loot drops and the like, and none of them are weapons.

Now... if they are planning to reintroduce Potency VIII and IX back into the loot tables... then Superior Glaciation VIII will be falling normally and these cards won't be of much value. If Glaciation VIII continues to not drop, then these cards Are good only for upgrading from lower level Glaciation.

 * Greater Glaciation VIII + 1280 Motes of Winter + this recipe card = Superior Glaciation VIII
 * Total motes to upgrade from Superior VII to Superior VIII: 2500
 * To get from no Glaciation to Superior Glaciation VIII would take 40 recipes and 8448 Motes of Winter


 * Recipe 14/20 - Coins: Purple
 * Currently only good for upgrading Superior Glaciation VIII items as there are no Lesser Glaciation IX items in the game to be upgraded
 * AND There are also no level 9 cold spells to be boosted
 * Superior Glaciation VIII + 100 Motes of Winter + this recipe card = Lesser Glaciation IX
 * Lesser Glaciation IX + 202 Motes of Winter + this recipe card = Glaciation IX
