The Iceshard Cliffs is a snowy region with jagged cliffs and heavy snowfall. The harsh environment and low visibility lend themselves well to creatures that prefer to hide and ambush prey or dwell in solitude. The Frostwind inclemency swallows up the location in a deadly snowstorm that drastically cools everything to extreme temperatures.

How to Unlock the Iceshard Cliffs

Complete Chapter 2-3

You begin exploring the Iceshard Cliffs during the Chapter 2 Mission: Hopes of Home. You can fully explore the location after beating Nerscylla and Hirabami in this chapter.

Iceshard Cliffs Farming Routes

Ore and Bone Route

There are 11 Mining Outcrops and 8 Bonepiles in the Scarlet Forest. Follow these steps to efficiently collect all of these spots:

  1. Start by getting all the nodes in the lowest layer of the location, starting from the Icy Shore Pop-Up Camp.
  2. Teleport to Base Camp and grab the Bonepile opposite of its entrance. Mine the outcrops near the Watchtower Camp then the ones in Area 8. Move to Area 16 and mine the one there too.
  3. Fast Travel to Ancient Room Pop-Up Camp, mine the nearby outcrop and grab the Bonepiles in Area 14. You can ride or fast travel to the Sinkhole Pop-Up Camp and mine the outcrops there and finish up the route by grabbing the nodes in Area 6.

Remember to use the Geologist skill to maximize the yield of your farming runs and do them while there are Bonepile or Mining Outcrop Upsurges.
