Our next league project is mostly for the higher level players because this is going to take some organized work. Sorry Lowbies! We'll help with GCM and other dungeons when you ask, but we need our epithet runs too, and we can't do them solo. Go grind. Level up, and you can play with the high level players too!

On the North Seas Icy Palace, as it's properly know, are 4 bosses. You can read about them here. If you can kill any one of them you are awarded a [Sealed] Epithet by each one of them, and once you kill all four of them you are awarded the [Sealed] Conqueror of NSIP Epithet.

[Sealed] Conqueror of NSIP Epithet stats:
Defence increased by 10%,
Movement speed increased by 5%,
Chi Kung attack rating increased by 6%,
Attack rating increased by 6%,
Critical rate increased by 600/10000.

That sealed conqueror epithet is actually worth to use too, unless you're a warrior. The NSIP Conqueror epithet gives a very nice defense bonus for non-warrior roles. Warriors are better off with the Yellow Sword or Black Dragon Epithets because of the extra damage. Warriors all build strength and are all above the defense cap by the time they can grind on the ice map. Warriors should better use the Yellow Sword or Black Dragon epithets.

Now for the good part. We can unseal those [Sealed] epithets. It's a quest you get in Hefei every time you kill one of the Ice map bosses, and those epithets get so much better once you do those quests.

The most important of the four boss quests is the one to unseal the [Sealed] Silver Spirit Epithet. That unsealed epithet is planned to give 3/1000 hit point return, and because of that, every time Silver Spirit spawns we get a huge KS fight. You have to have the [Sealed] epithet before you can unseal it. We're all fighting for it, and we're all trying to help our league mates and friends to get it.

What I find nice is that this isn't like the Shen Mo fight. Nobody is yelling, NO KS, YOUR LEAGUE IS KoS, BRING YOUR NOOB LEAGUE TO BP, I KILL YOU ALL!!!!!

Silver Spirit is what she is, a boss with an epithet, and we all want it and need it. It's actually kind of refreshing, considering that whites and blacks are all there looking for this epithet. You bring all the help you can to the fight, and either you win or you don't. I can't imagine what this fight looks like on Asura.

Anyway, that hit-point return effect doesn't work just yet, but I would love to have the epithet once the bug is fixed. On the ice map an extra 3/1k hp return can mean the difference between life and a quick death.

So, what's the plan? Over the last couple of days I've been tracking the spawn times on Silver Spirit. I grind in that area anyway, and I can almost tank that boss. Almost. Any hyb/healer can keep me alive while I do that, so long as they don't attack the boss.

So I have been inviting CS++ players to join me for the Silver Spirit spawn times and I tank for them as best I can. Goodgrrrl joined us for one boss-spawn and it was a huge help. In the last 24 hours I'm 3 for 3 in terms of players and epithets. It hasn't always been easy, but we're getting there.

I want to build a team of GL++ players who can raid the SRS dungeon. A strong HM level party can get to the Hidden Katanas and that is the mob we must kill to eventually Unseal the Silver Spirit Epithet. We can't go much farther than the Hidden Katanas, but that is all we need for now.

Today I helped three players get at least one of the Ice Map boss epithets. We have a lot of work to do until we all get that Unsealed Epithet of the Silver Spirit. If you can help or heal, or tank an epithet run, then I am calling on you. Let's get it done.
