Requirements for new Trial

In just one sentence, please don't make everfrost a requirement for the new trial...
It's hard enough to get the ridiculous requirements for FBI ( for bad to average rewards on top of that...), don't make it even more restricted to get the new artifact weapons...

I am at 4100 gs and I won't ever be doing fbi. The grind is not for me.

FBI is a fun dungeon but I'm only unlocking it on one toon due to the grind. If the zen store trowel were bind to account, I would probably pick one up and unlock FBI for more toons.

I am glad that there is finally one dungeon in the game that is hard and not doable by the most casual players. I also hope that FBI becomes accessible to casuals through the natural power escalation in the game (and that there is one new top dungeon that is geared toward the top toons).

Thats one toon more then me... And it is only due to the grind, 8 of 10 active toons have the ilevel for it, and i can get the other 2 there if I make a few more enchants. (they are < 100 ilevel away.)

I have skipped FBI for the time being, mostly because of evefrost requirements--although I have it unlocked. I just got the fourth boon and am now completing the rest of the campaign. 21,000 voninblod for the fifth reminds me of the 50 Linus required for TOD.

It already has been made a requirement, even before the Trial has appeared on Preview. You have to have completed FBI before being allowed to gain access to the Trial. Therefore, you will need to be at least iLevel 3.1k and have access to at least 28% Everfrost Resistance. Given the new higher level potions and armour reinforcement kits coming with the new update, it is likely that a specific everfrost resistance requirement higher than the one for FBI will put in an appearance. Though only the devs can actaully say if that will be the case at this moment in time.

No there are two trials, a normal and an epic version. You will need to complete FBI to unlock epic. But its still anyones guess how low the requirements are for the normal version.

From what I've seen so far, the whole of the new proposed content is skippable for me. I should have enough secrets for the 5th boon today and will slowly work on the last 5k vblood. After that I'll likely avoid the whole mess until/if they remove the requirements like they did in Kessels 1.0.

My source is @asterdahl over on Page 2 of the '[PC] Announcing Storm King's Thunder: Sea of Moving Ice' thread in the 'News & Announcements' section:

'You won't need to complete Fangbreaker Island or obtain any relic armor from therein to challenge Assault on Svardborg's normal difficulty. In order to challenge Assault on Svardborg (Master) you'll need to have completed Fangbreaker Island, and having a few relic pieces will be a significant boon.'

In looking up the exact wording/source, it appears @sockmunkey was correct about the basic version of the new trial not requiring completion of FBI.

Just a reminder, guys. Please keep preview discussions on the preview forums. That's where the developers are looking for feedback on the current preview builds.
