Cryostar Unleashed Event Guide
This event begins Thursday, May 26th at approximately 1:30 PM.
After the defeat of Jadis, the ominous glow of pink and purple hues surrounding the Cryostar have begun to pulse with uncertainty. As if breathing its corruption into the air, the giant gemstone has started to whisper in the ears of the remaining gnomes of Glintstone.
It would seem that while Jadis sought to harness it's power, perhaps the Cryostar itself was the true master behind Jadis' great betrayal. As growing tensions in Glintstone turn from an air of caution into a twisted sense of entitlement, it is clear the chaos writhing within is looking for its next pupil and needs to be stopped.
Arm yourselves Arlorians, as once the Cryostar Awakens there will be but a short window to force its tendrils of fate back to the nether before it returns to rest. The bounty for such a victory is unknown even to the wisest of Gnomes, and yet desired by all. Players will have 24 hours before the Cryostar returns to slumber before it must be awoken again for more potential rewards.
The Cryostar Unleashed is a cyclical event, similar to The King Awakens. Players will be able to reawaken the Cryostar for as long as its power waxes and wanes...
Opening the Event
This event works similar to The King Awakens. Players will gather small, medium, and large Cryostar fragments, found anywhere in Underhul (both regular and elite levels). These components are tradable, stashable, and can be crafted into an Awakening Gem.
Opening Awakening Gems (located inside the Chest section of your inventory) will imbibe you with the Strength of the Cryostar, a 15 minute buff of 200 health and 2.5 damage, as well as a small number of glintstone coins. But beware, open enough of these and you will awaken the Cryostar itself! You can view how close it is to opening with the Underhul progress bar on the world map:
Cryostar Chamber
Once Cryostar awakens, he can be found for the next 24 hours in a previously unexplored area of the map: the Cryostar Chamber. The Event Boss portal is found at the end of the Forgotten Citadel (normal and elite) once Jadis has been defeated. It is opened for 60 seconds. You and your guildies can decide how you want to manage this portal.

Check out the snazzy new Cryostar Totemic vanity armor
Cryo-hardened Weapons and Weaponsmith Korphax
The common tier of these weapons are drops, and can be crafted up all the way into some awesome looking vanities. They are tradable and stashable.
Visit the new vendor, Korphax, to obtain the recipes needed to craft your Cryo-hardened weapons up through Rare, Epic and finally to Legendary rarity to access their TRUE power!
Below are the stats for the Legendary weapons, and a pic of them and their upgrade to Vanity:
Proc: When attacking an enemy, each strike has a chance to summon a crystal ward next to the warrior. While standing near the ward, players will receive 65 armor and 1% Crit per stack up to a total of 5 stacks. If the player receives all 5 stacks, they will be healed for 10% of their max health once the shield expires.
Proc: When attacking an enemy, each strike has a chance to summon a meteor shower that rains death upon nearby enemies. Each impact deals damage and has a chance to stun.
Proc: Small chance on every attack to unleash a shadow bolt arrow that detonates on impact, dealing AoE damage with high chace to stun enemies for a short time.
Proc: When attacking with the daggers, each strike has a chance to proc Corrupt Power on the player. While Corrupt Power is active, all damage dealt will increase damage by 0.5 up to 10 stacks. After 10 stacks, the next attack will explode dealing AoE damage and start the cycle again.
Proc: When attacking an enemy, each strike has a chance to encase the victim in Cryostar Crystal freezing them in place, or slowing them if they are players. The charged attack applies the Cryostar Crystal to multiple targets near the primary target. While encased, the gun owner will receive health for every tick for the duration of the freeze.
Proc: When attacking an enemy, each enemy hit has a chance to create 3 unholy shards around the target. Picking up an unholy shard will grant a temporary shield, boosting damage reduction and removing freeze, snare, stun, and damage over time effects on pickup and every second for 5 seconds. Replenishes 2% of max mana every second while the shield is active.
Cryostar Hunter Elixir
This powerful elixir can be found as a rare drop from Elite encrusted Cryostar chests or as a platinum purchase from the Elixir vendor in Glintstone. Only adventurers under the aura of the Cryostar Hunter Elixir are eligible for the Vanity Cryostar Weapon Crafting Recipes or Cryostar Totemic Power Core Back Vanity drops.
Banished Power Set
The ultimate reward for defeating the Cryostar is the Banished Power set. To obtain the full set, you must find Rasser in Glintstone, and embark on a significant quest line. You need a full AntiGnome set for this quest line.
This armor has some amazing visuals, and some really crazy stats when worn in Glintstone/ Underhul areas:
3 Pieces Equipped:
• +900 health
• +900 mana
• +15 primary stat
• +40 STR
• +40 DEX
• +40 INT
• +200 armor
• +15 damage
5 Pieces Equipped:
• +1500 health
• +1500 mana
• +45 primary stat
• +100 STR
• +100 DEX
• +100 INT
• +700 armor
• +50 damage
The new Banished armor set is tough to obtain but gives some insane bonuses in the Underhul region
Remember, Cryostar Unleashed is a cyclical event. The Cryostar will only stay awake for 24 hours before returning to dormancy...
Good luck and have fun!
