This quest should be nick named the Trial of Patience. Recklessness and rushing will most likely push back any progress you've gained on your buff stack.

The goal is to run around collecting the floating frost orbs until you have a stack of 20. There are 3 very large frost spheres that shoot out a stream of frost (Frostburn) in a rotating manner. Each time Frostburn hits, you lose 1 from your stack, and it hits very quickly.

You need to run around the spheres dodging the streams, but keep in mind they turn slightly faster than you can run around them. The way around this is to keep distance, the area is sufficiently large enough to out-range the stream by running to the edges (Don't fall off).

The blue runes on the ground will be a bane to your progress, as stepping on them launches you in the air, causing you to most likely get stuck in Frostburn.

Lastly, underneath the 3 large spheres is a patch of ice, stepping on it will severely slow you down and can easily wipe away your whole stack once Frostburn starts hitting you.

The easiest thing to do is be patient and take open opportunities to collect a frost orb or two safely while keeping safe distance from the spheres, trying to blitz through it will inevitably cause you to get trapped and lose a major chunk of your stack. Each time you collect an orb it resets the stack duration to a minute, which is a very long duration to play it safe and collect the orbs worry free.

Using the rune to 'Jump' the frostburn can be usefull and I believe it is the right way to do it, and this quest should only take you about 1 minute to do. just allow about 1 second lag time, before stepping into the rune.

You can also out run the frostburn if you run in a tight circle, around the large blue orb but not too close as you will step on the frost patch slowing you down.

check out my video below on how I did by using the runes to jump to complete this quest quickly.

It is advised not to attempt this quest while there are more than one or two people doing the same. Patience is all well and good, but sadly there is a time limit on how long you can stand in a safe zone and wait to grab another orb (59 seconds). When someone else grabs an orb, you have to wait for it to respawn all over again, so if you are taking the "Stand in a safe zone and grab the nearest ones as they spawn" route, you will not manage it while there are other people grabbing the orbs.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I for one do NOT find this quest enjoyable in the slightest. In my opinion, trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over again to complete a quest is not fun at all. But then, that's just my opinion. Many others may find this sort of thing amusing.

评论来自 romansamurai

It's a frustrating achievement, sometimes I can be far away and still get hit by the frost, sometimes I can literally run through it and not get it...annoying and frustrating

评论来自 451796

Frostburn appears to be a frontal cone attack. Ignore the graphic of the frostburn as it comes out of the large spheres. I've never taken damage from the stream unless I'm directly in front of where it comes out.

评论来自 520718

I found that this quest was a lot easier to do once you have a mount. Easier yet if you have a swift one. The faster you can go to avoid the frost attacks, the more time you have to think of where to go next.

评论来自 Strayer

Easiest way to do this is to simply mount, and then run around the outer rim of the island.

评论来自 Anathelia

Here's the deal with this, and the related achievement:

You must collect 20 stacks to complete the quest. You only need to collect orbs 20 times in a row without being hit by Frostfire to complete the achievement - You can lose your stacks, having to start the quest over, but your achievement will continue on to completion as long as you ARE NOT HIT!

This makes the achievement fairly simple to do, if you have patience to find a safe spot and dart in and out to gather orbs when they come back up. Once you have the achievement done, you can work on getting a stack of 20 to complete the quest.

As others have said, the frost coming out of the orbs is not represented by its graphic. It seems to be directly in a straight line from the source of the frost on the orb itself AND the tip of the graphic -- I've been hit by that tip several times, despite that the source of the frost has moved on.

This quest and achievement are essentially a test of patience.

评论来自 Mazater

Interested in doing the corresponding Achievement for this Quest?

Here's one of the many ways to do it. I personally found this to be the easiest:
(Copypasted from the Achievement comments.)

Extremely easy to do with the help of a Safe Spot. (There's plenty of them on the edges of the area!)

All you need to do is simply find yourself a cozy Safe Spot on the edge of the area, where the Ice Beams won't reach you, and run a few yards forward to grab a nearby orb, then straight back to your Safe Spot and wait for the orb to respawn. Rince and repeat until you've got the Achievement.
Also note that it doesn't matter whether you lose the stacks or not, the Achievement system isn't that picky.

It'll take time, but boy it sure is easy.

Here's an example of the Safe Spot I used to do it along with the nearby Orb Spawn Spots marked with red dots.

And as is obvious from the Screenshot linked, it's possible to mount up in here.

The actual hit box for the ice walls seem to be a full graphic ahead of the visual, make sure when doing the quest that you give ample room between you and an incoming ice wall. For those doing the 3 achievements, you will definitely find this one the most irritating simply because there's so little room to manuver and grab orbs, especially when you're competing with another player.

评论来自 225539

this quest and its fellow quests suck. i eventually abandoned it after having got 15 stacks and then waiting too long only to lose them all. forget it! IT WAS NOT WORTH THE FREAKING TROUBLE.

skip these and move on to something more worth while.

评论来自 Impact009

Just touching the essences sometimes doesn't work. You might have to sit and wait for about a second before you get another stack on the debuff.

评论来自 755995

you people seem to forget that you can't use a mount till 20 & flying mounts don't come till level 60... you should be level 19 at least when doing this quest... do it the proper way, use your feet & run after the little apprentice

Easy to do if you have a flying mount. Use take off to your advantage :)

I dont know how to go through the port! It says to tap the stones but after i do that i try to go through the portal and i go past it, any one else haveing the same problom?

评论来自 553107

Here is the way to do this achievement!
I tried a lot of different methods and read a lot of comments about how to do this.

Use your flying mount. Fly down and grab an orb and take off again asap. As said before you just need 20 orbs in a row, which means you can lose your stacks and still get the achievement. I did this easily and didn't even have to concern about the Frost beam.

I Know that this only helps people with flying mounts, but if you got it, this is one of the easiest achievements you ever get.

评论来自 119425

Ha! Is using your flying mount cheating? Try to outrun the frost and pull out your hair. Dive bomb, soar and get the job done!

评论来自 720460

One point to make, the blue runes on the ground that shoot you in the air DO NOT count as frost burn. So you don't have to start over if you are hit by one.

评论来自 chicane300

CHEATING OR NOT CHEATING THE USE OF A FLYING MOUNTIS THE WAY TO GO DIDN'T READ ALL COMMENTS AND WAS READY TO GIVE YOU SOME BAD RATINGS ALL OF YOU ......

SO JUMP ON A FLYING MOUNT GO DOWN AND UP RIGHT ON THE ESSENCE OF ICE AND FLY UP SYNCHRONIZE YOURSELF TO AVOID ALL DAMAGING FACTOR AND YOU DONE

评论来自 Grimij

You know, if you're gonna make a low-level quest hard to do, make sure the f*^&n dynamics work properly for low level toons trying to complete it. Sometimes the rune traps make you jump, sometimes they don't. Some times the burn gets you some times it doesn't. Hard to figure out a puzzle when nothing's consistent. This is the most annoying quest line I've ever tried and almost makes me want to quit playing the game for good. A big F-U to the programmer who thought these up and the supervisor who gave them the go ahead. I never thought I could get as pissed-off at a game as those people in the gameflix commercials, but this quest line has proven me wrong. I may need a new monitor and cast for my fist.

This is a great way to separate the ragequitters from the true gamers. And I'm... a ragequitter.
Running around on a mount finally did get it done for me. Screw patience. Plus somehow I got the achievement too.

评论来自 Vaxl

How does an Alliance go by getting these achievements if the quest chain can only be started by the Horde?

评论来自 Vaxl

All I can find on the internet is that all you have to do is click the orbs, but I'm not getting any sign of being able to interact with the orbs. so I'm guessing I need the quest to do that.

评论来自 44284

I did this at level 20. Mounted and just did loops around the edge of the pinnacle. I did not get the achievement but I was able to do the quest relatively painlessly.

You can always come back at higher level and do it with a flying mount.

评论来自 Maregolden

I did this and the other ones before it as an 85 going for loremaster. I think if I had done this as a new toon I might have given up and quit the game. This was stupid hard.

评论来自 933764

Mazater's safe spot is brilliant! It took some time but I got the quest done and keep and mind that you have a count down on your stack so get another one before it hits' zero. Also if you have a mount use it!

评论来自 Slicenitup

I started the quest line (2/6/12) , got up to Trial of Frost very quickly attempted it for like 2 hours got soooooo freaking mad so I took a break. Came back today (2/7/12) and managed to get it done in like 20 minutes. The key as many have said is patience, and if possible try to be the only one doing quest at moment. If you are not go do a different one. My first attempt was so frustrating as two others plus the npc apprentice kept getting globes. Stick to outside of the rim(I mean like nearly falling off close) grab globes try not to get hit. If you see that the frostburn is going to hit you , stop let it hit you. If you keep running it will keep hitting you. I stopped running let it hit me sure it took one stack, but it was better than continuing to run. Good luck.

评论来自 Ozweeplay

I used to be in a world-top-100 guild, so I have decent reflexes and can move my character quickly while staying aware of my surroundings, etc. When my 12-yr old asked me to help him do this quest, I thought "cake!" It was not cake, however.

I read the quest-giver's suggestion that we use the blue runes to jump over the frost streams... this was more trouble than it was worth. I ended up just brute-forcing it: running from orb to orb, trying to avoid the streams, and sticking to the outer edge (don't go to the inner circumference of the streams... even though the spin-rate of the streams is lower there, you are too likely to be slowed by the frost on the ground). I probably lost 5-6 stacks to stream-hits, but still managed to get to 20 within a minute or so. Although the poster above says you can out-range the stream arms, I found it difficult to do so: they seem to remove a stack (at random) even at the very tip of the arm.

This quest is much too difficult for the skill-level you would expect this early in the game. Not sure what Blizzard designers were thinking?

评论来自 939227

i found it easy if i stuck close as i could to the base that was spitting out the frost without hitting the frost on the ground. you get quicker revolutions and you can jump out to grab the orbs.

Best done on a flying mount.

评论来自 LentzRose

Update as of 5/9/2012 I got fustrated at lvl 20 and was about to give up when I decided to use my regular mount. I also paid attention to how the frost waves were moving following after them after 5 orbs I stood behind the portal waited for a few seconds got 5 and repeat will say it's going to take a few tries but it worked like a charm.

评论来自 QFred

For those like me, who had to leave the Arcane Pinnacle before I could do all three quests, keep in mind that, for one with no flyer mount, the only way to get back up is by swimming to a hop circle near the "stairs" you had to cross to get the quest done.

评论来自 895707

Today the server reset while I was doing the achievement for this quest. The server came up, the NPC running around appeared, as did the runes and the orbs giving credit, however, there was no Frostfire spewing out, and no ice on the floors. I nabbed all 20 under a minute. If you're having heaps of trouble with this quest/achieve, and a reset/maintenance is coming up, it may be worth it to wait.

评论来自 1052173

If you fall off the cliff, first realize the mountain the trials are on is different from the mountain you jumped up, which is in the water. Go down to the beach and swim out to loc 56,15. There you will see a teleporter in the water to start the jump up process again.

评论来自 1065978

Thank you Straver. The mount did it. I had tried collecting an orb and then going to the perimeter of the quest area to avoid frost burn. Found that if I didn't get in the precise spot, I lost the stacks I had collected. Tried running around near the orb, that worked for a bit until I got too close to the frost stream. Finally saw Straver's post and mounted. Level 22 warrior collected the orbs under a minute without getting hit by a stream. Of course, I didn't just charge in, I made sure to let the stream pass me, then ran right behind it. Was able to do this throughout the entire quest.

评论来自 giric

This one is bugged to hell and back I swear!

I have had the frostburn pass right over me on my way to a 'safe' zone, and nothing happens at all... At other times, I am NOWHERE NEAR a frostburn, and lose stacks...

This one is definitely the MOST frustrating of these 3 achievements to get...

评论来自 1105459

Absolutely horrible quest, if you have the slightest lag forget it. the questline is not worth this much annoyance, abandon when you get this far. The people who made this questline forgot warcraft should be about fun. save yourself hours of irritation forget it, go to the next sector.

评论来自 Hildax

I completed this quest and got the achievement with the help of having a flying mount. I honestly recommend doing this once you can use a flying mount so you just swoop down and get the ice orb then fly up and do repeatedly. Although swoop down after the frost has passed. Take your time, since it'll be really frustrating rushing and almost having the 20 and having to restart.

评论来自 peregrines3469

After nearly going mad trying to do this quest, I got on my mount, starting at the portal follow the ice blast around the edge. After 1/3 of the way around there is a ledge that sticks out, go onto that, stay there let the blast pass you and again follow it around. I did this 3 times and quest complete. Being on a mount you move quicker and can get very close to the edge without falling off.

评论来自 1120186

I found running around the very outside, almost to the point of falling off the cliff, picking up the outside globes the best way. as soon as i rushed or headed into the middle i hit trouble.

The trial of frost I found undoable. I fell off several times trying to hide in safe spots on the side. You have to swim back to the pinnacle when you fall off a trial and jump up the pads again. Swim to the little circle in the water again first of course,.Use the "bug" there when you jump up the pinnacle for the first time, them..click the very first padestoole 6 times (!). The orthers you then only had to click while running past them.

But the trial of frost...someone said "if you're a Shaman, use your ghost wolf...I tried... but "they" musty have nerfed him because "click click click...etc all the time and all clicks are goine...

In the end I used my mount (get it at lvl 20). You are fast and take less hits from the forsts !

Have fun ! Bearbelly, Shaman, lvl 23, The Horde

Some fun facts about this quest:

1) The orbs you have to collect don't always work.
2) The beams that undo your work are not where the graphic for them is.
3) The runes on the ground work inconsistently and can either completely screw you or do nothing at all.

All in a a lovely quest. Seriously someone remove this POS from the game.

I was doing this quest line to get the hat for my toybox, and I read about the achieves. I did the first one, then came here and followed the "cheat" directions for this one. When the achieve popped up, you should have heard my little squee of geeker joy as I ALSO got the "It's Over 9000" achieve at the same time. I only have 8715 achievement points, but it looks at how many you've earned total, taking in to account the points I've earned that are now gone thanks to being Feats of Strength, I'm guessing.

Good times.

The Trial of Frost https://youtu.be/j2loVXRwMMw

Instructions and suggestions :

First of all you must know the terrain , you will see marks on the floor , they serve
to jump, if you walk you will rise into the air , this serves to avoid frost.

Then we have some small balls that appear , these are what we gather ,
our character takes between 2-3 seconds to take the ball , you just have to stand by it to
absorb , but as I said , takes you count , as you can see in the guidance is somewhat slow , so
to trim the video, because I was late in understanding the mechanism of challenge , I hope seeing
as I did, you can also overcome , luck!

Just did this one and went after the achievement, and this is how I did it. All I did was mount up, and run around the outside of the area, counterclockwise. You can't just go round and round, sometimes you will have to let the frost go past you before you continue on. Fairly easy to do if you have even the smallest amount of patience.

Do not waste your time on this quest and skip it. It's not strategy that works in here, it's just luck. Abandon the trial and move far away from Azshara as possible. Even if you've done the other two trials (like I did before encountering this), just skip them. It's not worth your time. Find somewhere else to do adventure because the retard who made these has no idea what they did.

Why is there such an impossible quest in a level 10 zone, and why do some many of the comments refer to mounting a flying mount at the solution -- my toon is nowhere near the level of having a flying mount!

评论来自 tnelav

Running around the outer rim is totally the way, only one blade of frost endangers you there. Also, I tried to stay close behind the frost - when it got too far, I waited until it caught up and jumped on a rune right before it got me. I got to 20 in a minute, after two awful attempts of trying to avoid both the runes and the frost and falling off the cliff.

评论来自 JohnnyThunder

Anyone else think this is the dumbest quest in history?

评论来自 Akushalah

What worked for me was just to keep moving. Waiting around for an opening and then getting hit anyway was taking away a lot of orbs and wasting time. Instead, I found that those blue streams only take away one or two orbs from your stack, SO I just kind of ignored them and ran around the outskirts of the island. I'd collect 3 or 4 before I was hit and lose 1 or 2. And I just kept going like that until I hit 20. So, just be prepared to run around the mountain top a bit, and you'll eventually have 20 at one time. No need to stress all the intimidating graphics.

评论来自 LunarisBellator

I think this quest is deceptive, if you do the others first. In this you need to collect the round sparkling things in the air and then need to avoid the markings on the ground. hope that helps!
