Neverwinter's Sea of Moving Ice: Sailing and Fishing

As Icewind Dale brings adventurers to Neverwinter's largest zone yet, the Sea of Moving Ice, there are some who wonder how one would begin to navigate such a place. In this article, what about the Sea of Moving Ice will be explained.

As you progress through the zone, you'll gain access to your very own khyek, a personal maneuverable boat that allows you to venture across the open sea. There are several tiers of khyeks you can find in the zone that improve in speed and appearance with each tier. These vessels cannot be summoned beyond the Sea of Moving Ice.

Khyeks are more than just a means of travel, however. Beneath the vast Sea of Moving Ice dwells an abundant habitat of strange and wondrous creatures that can be caught with a proper fishing rod. But don't worry there will be more than enough rods better suited to deep sea fishing available in the zone. When you enter your khyek, your character's powers will be completely swapped out to a new set of fishing powers that allow you to set your bait, cast your line, set your hook, and reel a hooked fish in. Furthermore, while you can fish anywhere in the Sea of Moving Ice, you will find larger fish and of much greater variety in active spots, which randomly appear and disappear throughout the zone. Players will have to explore and communicate to find these active spots efficiently, but it should be noticed that the more fishers on a spot, the faster it gets used up!

You can also gain profits from fishing. Anything you catch can be turned in to feed the troops and refugees, gaining you reputation. This reputation can be used in the Svardborg trial to open chests that contain special reagents needed to upgrade the relic weapons/off-hands, a set of brand new artifact weapons arriving with the Sea of Moving Ice. Additionally, some of the materials needed to restore these weapons can only be acquired by gutting certain special types of fish. Here is a chart to show the categories of fish.

And also, the Sea of Moving Ice will also be introducing treasure maps that players must decipher in order to discover buried riches strewn throughout the zone. These rare maps have been carefully tucked away in bottles that can be occasionally hooked while fishing in active spots. Each map will hint at one of dozens of random locations that can be challenging to reach.
