Uniques/Off Hand/The Frostwyrm's Breath

The Frostwyrm's Breath is a Nightmare Unique tome, hunted from Frost Wyrm in the Mortal Arena, always at item level 120. It is one of four ordinary drops on its list — 22.5% of the Uniques that boss gives up, about 1 in 4 — and every kill rolls the list 5 times. It is built on Exalted Mothlight Tome — step 6 of the Mothlight Tome line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +52 Power, +12% Cooldown Recovery, +14% Frost Damage, +13% Cooldown Recovery, +38% Frost Damage, +38% Chill Effect and +29% Cooldown Recovery.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Frostwyrm's Breath — Your Special recharges 30% faster and builds Chill.

It leans into Chill.

Wearing it hands you Tome Pulse.

“Open it and the room forgets the fire.”
