Tome of frost

The tome of frost is a reward obtained through the Dungeoneering skill. It requires level 48 Magic and level 48 Dungeoneering to use.

Similar to the staff of water, the tome of frost acts as an infinite stock of water runes. Unlike the staff of water, which is two-handed, the tome of frost is wielded in the off-hand slot. This can be useful when using fighting with a wand, as your attack speed is doubled compared to the staff of water. It is even more useful for casting ice spells when using the Ancient Magicks.

The tome of frost will never degrade, which makes it useful for mages using water spells. However, obtaining 43,000 Dungeoneering tokens to buy a tome of frost can take a long time, especially in free-to-play.

Since 4 October 2011 wielding the tome of frost reduces the damage taken from desert heat effect.

Trivia

 * The tome of frost used to cost 70,000 Dungeoneering tokens before the 21 April 2010 update.
 * At the current cost, 430,000 experience is needed to obtain the item, effectively pushing the required level to 64 Dungeoneering, unless the tokens are obtained through other methods, such as Fremennik Sagas.
