• Complete the Module 33 introductory storyline
• Progress through all Biting Cold campaign milestones
• Claim your one-time campaign rewards and boons
• Unlock the campaign vendors and reward options
• Complete the Reghed Edge story objectives

Encroaching Frost is a periodic zone event: kill Ice Mephits and Air Archons, find storm chests and skill nodes, and contribute toward summoning the Stormbound Reaver. Completing Heroic Encounters makes the next storm arrive sooner.

• Discover the major Reghed Edge locations
• Complete all six of the zone's shared Heroic Encounters
• Find and complete the Named Encounters

  These drop Reghed Baugr as of the Biting Cold patch — and note there is no weekly haul limiting it
• Take part in Encroaching Frost
• Locate Storm Treasure Chests and Storm Skill Nodes
• Join the Stormbound Reaver Summoning Ritual and defeat the Reaver

• Unlock access to Jotunskar
• Complete Normal Jotunskar
• Complete Advanced Jotunskar
• Complete Master Jotunskar
• Learn all three boss encounters
• Obtain a Jotunskar Dungeon Key through Encroaching Frost
• Unlock the Stabilized Jotunskar Dungeon Key through the campaign

  The stabilized version is tradeable, unlike the regular key

Not reset tasks — progression milestones for the module. Mythic Rings and Cosmic Dust both come from Master Jotunskar.

• Obtain the Mythic Jotunskar Rings you want
• Farm Cosmic Dust

  The Celestial Ring upgrade requirement was reduced to 450 Cosmic Dust per ring
• Upgrade Mythic Rings into Celestial Rings
• Obtain the Master Jotunskar armour you want
• Obtain the Mythic Companion Gear you want
• Obtain the weapons, shirts, pants and other Jotunskar drops you want

Do these once; everything else in the event is gated behind them.

• Speak to Master Arcanist Viorel Amakiir to start the Campaign

  Protector’s Enclave. Then travel to the active zone, marked with a modified map icon.
• Reach level 20

  The event’s only level requirement.
• Unlock Menzoberranzan access if you do not have it

  Talk to Sergeant Knox in Protector’s Enclave. Needed to take part in the weeks where Menzoberranzan is the active zone — so it is worth doing before that week comes round rather than during it.
• Reach 500 Shards of Madness for Campaign eligibility

⚠️ REWARDS ARE CLAIMABLE ON UP TO FIVE CHARACTERS PER ACCOUNT, after which most convert to Warden’s Caches. Worth planning which five before you start rather than discovering the cap on the sixth.

• missableClaim the Staring Cat of Uldun-Dar Companion (Legendary)

  ⚠️ OBTAINABLE ONLY DURING THE “Can you hear him?” PHASE. The event runs four three-week phases, so this is a three-week window inside a twelve-week event rather than something available throughout.

  Reward Staring Cat of Uldun-Dar (Legendary companion)
• Work the Campaign reward track

  Pays Warden’s Caches, Insignia Powder, Tradebars, Legendary Dragon Keys and Mount and Companion Upgrade Tokens.

⚠️ THESE ARE NOT YOURS TO EARN ALONE. Each phase has a SERVER-WIDE progress bar filled by everyone’s contribution. Rewards are mailed automatically at the end of a phase to everyone who took part — and Cryptic states plainly that if the server fails to complete a phase, nobody gets that phase’s reward. Participation is necessary but not sufficient.

• missableContribute to each phase’s Nightmare Progression bar
• Collect the Burning Hope Artifact (Epic)
• Collect the Umbral Widow Mount (Epic)
• Collect the Brimming Bountiful Bag (90 slots)
• Collect the Peeper Keeper

Not event content, but one-time changes worth doing once and forgetting.

• Fill both Combat Enchantment slots — Strike and Guard

  The Enhancements tab now has TWO Combat slots; the Utility slot moved into the old Combat slot to make room. Existing enchantments should have been auto-assigned to one of the two, so the job is filling the empty one.
• Merge your newly stackable item stacks

  Stack sizes increased for several items including Epic Collar Choice Packs, Genie’s Gifts and Potions of Healing Rank 10. ⚠️ STACKS DO NOT MERGE THEMSELVES — drag one onto the other, or use the sword button. Bind statuses still apply.
