Mourning Frost

Mourning Frost is a very rare +1 Quarterstaff that enhances the wielder's ⁠Cold damaging spells with extra damage and the  Chilled condition.

The air around this staff crackles with a cold, frosty wind - a power that has been divided for too long, and is waiting to be released.

Where to find

• Underdark: Created by combining (a right click option to 'combine' appears once all three are collected and in the same players inventory) the components carried by the three Drow mages competing to discover the Adamantine Forge:
  •  Icy Crystal - carried by Filro the Forgotten near the Sussur Tree.
  •  Icy Helve - carried by Dhourn, west of the Selûnite Outpost.
  •  Icy Metal - looted from Xargrim the Pale Corpse within the Myconid Colony, in the secret area unlocked by completing the quest Defeat the Duergar Intruders at X: 49 Y: -72, by casting  Knock, or by using a skill like  Misty Step from the right angle.

Notes

• The bonus ⁠Cold damage on melee attacks with this weapon also triggers the Heart of Ice passive, making the effective bonus 1d4 + 1⁠⁠Cold.

Regarding Heart of Ice:

• The in-game description of Heart of Ice also says "A Frostbitten creature that takes Cold damage will take an additional 1 Cold damage per turn of Frostbite remaining." However, it has no interaction or relation with the inaccessible  Frostbite condition.

Regarding Insidious Cold:

• A maximum of one target per attack can be Chilled by Insidious Cold.
• Due to the way that  Booming Blade is implemented, the cold damage dealt by this staff while casting Booming Blade activates the Insidious Cold passive, possibly inflicting  Chilled upon the creature struck by the attack.
