The Frozen Reach

Ice, snow and giants north of Cloudreach, levels 95 to 115. It's a mage's country: bring a wand and a frost ward.

Before you go

The maps: The Frozen Reach.
You need a wand and Magic 60. Combat stops at 99, so Magic is what opens it.
Wear a frost ward. Without one, the cold takes 250 health every second on every map here, and it never stops. Any one piece with frost on it does the whole job, so the only cost is the slot it takes.

Frost wards

Ward	Slot	Wear at	How to get it
Frost charm	amulet	anyone	Wren the Ranger or Morwenna the Mage, 50,000 tickets
Frost ward ring	ring	Hitpoints 60	Smithing 70 at the anvil: 3 Frost shard, 2 Onyx bar, 1 Yeti pelt
Frost ward amulet	amulet	Hitpoints 70	Smithing 72 at the anvil: 4 Frost shard, 3 Dragonstone bar, 2 Yeti pelt
Crown of the Frost Jarl	helm	Magic 95	a drop: see below

The two crafted wards need frost shards and yeti pelts, which the Yard raid drops, so do the raid first and head north second. The plain charm is for anyone who hasn't gotten there yet.

How fighting works here

A spell lands at least 50% of the time here, whatever the monster's defence.
Almost everything takes more from spells and less, or nothing, from swords and arrows.
The ice creatures are weak to fire.

Bosses

The Frost Jarl holds the high ice shelf at the top of the Frozen Reach: level 113, 253,500 health. Only spells reach him, and anyone who hurts him shares the kill.
The Ice Wyrm sleeps under the Frozen Reach's lake and comes up once a day, at a random minute between 2 PM and midnight Chicago time, and stays 30 minutes. Level 115, 268,500 health, spells only, and it breathes ice six tiles. /bosses in chat tells you if it's up.
