also you're failing your xis runewords hard. always mo 5x ed in the weapon BEFORE putting the rune in. at 240 ed it will not even beat a crafted reflex bow. youd have a weapon with 240ed (craft has 260) with 400 dmg (crafts can get 440 dmg combining min and max), except ice breaker lacks serious MO space so it ends up being a strickly worse bow. its absolutely mandatory to mo ed first. this was very clearly mentioned in the guide item section. its important to read the text, not just the punchline name of items.


always do the 5 checks before making ice breaker:
1) 5 good jewels? (2%dex at minimum)
2) luck 5 jewels
3) 50-55ed base bow (luckied)
4) 5x ed MO in bow
put jewels in bow
5) dont put Xis rune in bow, put SUR-XIS


I never know that you can put MO in before putting the rune in. I always put MO after then crafting to see lvl requirement. Will it bring the lvl requirement to 140 ?
Thanks again Wulf

yes it will be lvl 140 (you shouldnt have an ice breaker before that). if you add ed AFTER, it wont work because base ed is already above 200 (capped). but by putting it before, it bypasses the 200cap, and goes up to 330ed total (75mo, 55base,200rw).

So, Instead of trying max roll ice breaker, Shall i 5xed my valkyrie prime and put all 6 sockets with xis instead of skull.Will that make it powerful than max roll ice breaker and good for farming as well?

I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

ice breaker remains better for farming.

I feel like all I can do for gear is roll the rings, but I've done about 200 rings and haven't seen one yet. Any help is appreciated, and I've had a blast on this build so far and this guide has gotten me farther than I've ever been.

its more about familiarity than gear. aim some good phalanx to kill the orb fast. my only advice to you is to simply try it a couple more times. im sure youll succeed :)


You were right, just had to find a sweet spot for the phalanx right as I entered. How long do you think it takes to get a sacred reflex bow farming K3K on average? I have all of my 115 charms I believe, and I've been in K3K for about 5 hours total, and have hit almost level 124.

he shoots traps at your feet that do repetitive dmg. so stay mobile and cast phalanx between each step. having some summons help too.


I increased my fcr to 117+ and i killed him now. Had like 60-70 before. Maybe i was to slow.

Better do Duncraig. I find there every few runs a sacred reflex bow in average.

Grats, but you didn't mo it before putting the rune in and lost a ton of damage, or 10% dex in jewels. Same thing with the mo's happened to me as well with a near perf roll. Sucks to happen. :(

i did around 5 brand new playthroughs on bowzon so far. 3 times bow dropped randomly in Hell difficulty before lvl 115. one time it dropped at 115-118 in k3k. once I reached lvl 120 without a sacred reflex drop. i had to do 1-2 dunc run on a tu4 reflex and it dropped after not even 15 mins. i think the most important part in finding the base is to set it up in the notifier:

"Reflex" sacred

you can do fauzt just fine with just a crafted bow, it just takes longer (10-14 mins per full run instead of breakers 8-12 mins). you can still lvl to 140 np. having an ice breaker alone will not make your fauzt runs any easier, just a bit faster. what helps there is 50phys res and 18k hp (you dont go in fhr animation as much). id bet youre having trouble there because your charms are low/mid roll (youre rushing through the game too fast, not achieving important thresholds).

to put this into perspective, a craft with min and max dmg will have around 900 total dmg (min+max). your craft has 960 :P and you lose 2k hp. like acry said, you need the ed mos in first and only wear it at lvl 140, otherwise its simply not worth using.
