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 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 right click option to 'combine' appears once all three are collected and in the same character's inventory.
• The bonus ⁠Cold damage on melee attacks with this weapon also triggers the Heart of Ice passive, making the effective bonus 1d4 + 1⁠⁠Cold damage.

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.
• Any attack which is both a melee weapon attack and a spell (such a  Booming Blade) will trigger this passive.
