Leveling - Black Ice Shaping

in The Moonstone Mask (PC)
Hi everyone, I have a question please.
I have completed the Icewind Dale campaign and my black ice shaping is at level 3. I need level 5 to make my elven gear elemental elven (so I've been told). I don't see tasks to level the skill.

How do I level black ice shaping from level 3 to level 5?
Thank you.

    From wiki:Access to ranks 2 and 3 is unlocked in the campaign, not by completing tasks. Access to ranks 4 and 5 is unlocked by specific tasks at rank 3 and rank 4, respectively.

    Welp, wiki is out to lunch on this one, which is why I asked my question. I see only a single task that actually rewards 'experience' in the skill. And I am wondering if that is the only way to actually level the skill, because that one task requires a quite expensive material.

    Yea, that's it. You will absolutely need these 75.000 black ice. No way out.

    Yes, that is the only way. You need the 75K Black ice AND 15 Unified Elements.
    I gathered and made the materials without buying from AH (except Elemental Aggregate).

    Black ice by farming and refining.
    UE by making it from level 25 Alchemy. That took a long while.

    This is actually the "prefect" timing to do these profession task after leadership nerf and before new profession will be introduced in underdark.
