The Tower of the Frozen Shadow was intended to be beachhead for Mayong Mistmoore's influence in Velious. Vampire acolytes, undead refugees of the Erudite Civil War, and abominations fill all seven floors. Each floor requires a key to access the next floor.

After Mayong Mistmoore abandoned his former lover Tserrina Syl'Tor and warded it to prevent her escape, she has put a formidable curse upon the residents of the tower. Each day Tserrina slaves in her laboratory for a cure to her unique vampiric affliction, losing more of her mind as time passes.

Dangers

Tower of Frozen shadow is one of the most unique zones in the game. That is, when exploring each floor and working towards the next, there can be a random boss spawn off of any kill on that floor. Therefore, a seemingly near victory can turn into defeat if the keyholder spawns at the wrong time. Don't let that discourage you though, because the chance for a keyholder to spawn is quite low. It often takes multiple full floor clears to get it to spawn.

Aside from the keyholders, the tower boasts lots of undead mobs. Be prepared though because some mobs run at low health, which is not typical of undead mobs. Mob density is average for a dungeon, where it is common to get groups of 3 or 4 in a pull if you do not have a lull type spell. Traveling through from floor to floor, even after obtaining the necessary keys, can be quite a pain without invisibility to undead. Mobs will continue to chase you after you take a mirror to the next floor, and will almost certainly cause a train to come find and kill you.

Benefits

Because TOFS is a dungeon, experience is fairly good here. The zone is segregated fairly well by level, so you don't often run into higher level characters clearing the lower floors unless they haven't yet obtained their keys, or they are just traveling up quickly. The zone is friendly to those who excel at killing undead, such as paladins, and the level range covers everything from around level 30 (1st floor) to level 50+(floors 6 and 7). One could choose to level during that entire range here, but bring your own group if you can't solo effectively, as it is a fairly low population zone.

The location of TOFS is also beneficial. It sites fairly close to the druid portal, and vendors aren't too far away. It is one of the first places you come across when first arriving at velious, if you dare venture here. The loot progressively gets better as you move up in floors, with some fairly desirable loot not far up.

Travel To and From

The Tower of Frozen Shadow is located at the loc 1700, 2850 in the Iceclad Ocean zone.
