Wilderness · levels 41–50
Frostpeak Mountains
The frost giants' valley under the Frostpeak glacier, south of the Landing, over the high pass from the Grimtusk Highlands. Hearthspring, the free folk's steading round its hot springs, is the only warm ground; frost wolves and ice trolls roam the snow, yetis den in the south-east hollows, the dead of an old war stand frozen round a longship in the fjord, and Jarl Hrimgar holds his hall under the ice.

Ulfmar, the Rime Mammothlv 50 · raid boss
Its lair is at (48, -16) – the world map in the game marks it. A fight for three to five heroes; it returns 12–24 h after it falls. A hero 9 or more levels above it cannot hurt it. After 11 minutes of a fight it rages and hits four times as hard – and twice as hard again every minute after, up to 256 times. Its health is for four heroes and grows or shrinks 15% with every hero more or fewer fighting it (up to ten) – a hero counts once they have dealt 0.5% of the four heroes' health and stand no more than 8 levels below it.
The whole pile goes to the party – or the hero – that dealt the most damage; every hero credited with the kill shares 10 times a world boss's experience by damage and earns 50 raid points, and each of their guilds gains 300 reputation.
Gathering
8 nodesEach gather gives 1–3 of the material and now and then the tier's rare one; a node regrows after 5 minutes.
