Well, after 5 weeks of farming I finally got a pair of black ice gloves. They dropped from the remorhaz, there was some changes I made to my TR. Removed Perfect Vorpal -> Perfect Bilethorn for DOT damage. I arrived at the remorhaz event before anyone else, and was attacking the mini remorhaz until more arrived for the larger one. I stayed on the large remorhaz until it vanished and the black ice arrived. Every chance I could I farmed the black ice ignoring the smaller ones. Once that was done I went back to the larger remorhaz and repeated until the event was finished and poof there were my gloves. There must have been about 30 plus players there, the nice thing about bilethorn, DOT so even when I was attacking something else my damage still ticked on the remorhaz. Patience is what this whole thing takes and it was driving me nuts, I do agree 5 weeks is beyond what it should take to farm 1 item but hopefully its addressed soon.

Does anyone know if the Black Ice Bracers can drop from the "Icewind Dale Treasure Caches" from the bounty master? It says one piece of unique equipment from the area which it seems could be the Black Ice Bracers, but I thought I should check before I spend all my Kessel's Sigils.
Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

They do not, its basic BI gear that has no set bonues, or enchant properties.

Good thing they know its an issue and they will do a little patching for it
2 weeks every day - at least 8 hours per day chasing Rem, Beholder, Raiders, and Prospec
5 Orb drops 3 from Prospec - 2 from Beholders
But nada for the bracers - i know which ones drop them btw..but i wont mention for fear of people swarming them.
One HR i know has 7 bracers... 2 CW i know have bracers - one farmed occasionaly for 2 days the other one farmed with me for 2 weeks and just received it yesterday
Its crazy - This game has turned into a job - one that doesn't pay well
I have received the HR Gloves from Remorhaz 6 times (received the 6th pair this morning.. again..) been getting hammerstone stuff from rest of the Epic encounters

How about just putting a holder cache to choose the missing item for people who complete say 50-100 combined Major/Heroic - mail it to the folks who've done this already. If its BoP no big mess to the economy with it. What could be unfair about that? It's already an achievement, so why not add a predictable reward for it so that people don't quit this game out of frustration and uncertainty that all their work may ever add up to something?

The gear should have never been a drop in the first place, change this quick please.
If you have received SIX pairs of gloves, I have to ask you...wtf are you still doing it for?!? Give the rest of us poor slobs a frickin' chance!
@PrettyCelt. I wasn't trying to brag about how many times I had received the HR Gloves, I posted to confirm their drop to help other know the best one to run for their chance.
I will continue participate in the Rem Epic encounter for other rewards that will benefit me for BI crafting and Raw BI ore..
I am sorry you have not had the best results and can only wish you the best of luck and hope that you get yours soon.
<< Solo healed 5 epic HE with all healing encounters, at-wills and daily, in the end got 25 BI thrice, then 35BI + R4 and 35BI + R4 + Green Profesion item.

You're in luck after maintenance completes:
* Healing and damage taken participation scoring values has been greatly increased.
* The overall effect should be that it is easier to qualify and receive the best rewards for all classes, but especially for tanking and healing roles

No.... still nothing.
Somewhere I read that Cryptic have to unlock the item drop in your lootable item list.
Some guy farm the Gloves and didn't got a drop... did a ticket and Cryptic answered him that
" They were sorry about them not unlocking the gloves in his lootable item list...!!""
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!!

Lootable item list, now that sounds like a conspiracy if I ever heard one, what happened to random loot generator, leads me to believe its rigged - and frankly considering some of the decisions lately.... (I'll let someone else figure that out).
It's the crowd factor, pure and simple. We did a few HEs yesterday, me an hr, a cw and a gf. 3 out of 3 HEs I got purple rewards, no gloves unfortunately. Too many people means they split the damage, and whatever other qualifiers. Get a few friends together, try to find an instance with nobody in it.

I'm no game expert, but I like Neverwinter and I've been playing it for quite some time now. I'm a CW, and I haven't found the Black Ice Gloves either.
What I noticed is that the Heroic Encounter reward window looks a lot like the Lockboxes windows. It even separates the loot as Uncommon, Rare and Epic.
By my experience with Lockboxes and Heroic Encounters, I believe it's pure luck. I've done a lot of HEs before, under several different circumstances (starting it, doing a lot of damage, entering when the boss was almost dying, doing almost no damage, etc), and sometimes I get an Epic item (no gloves yet, though), sometimes I get an enchantment and some Raw Black Ice. It really doesn't matter what I do in the Encounters. If I'm participating, the Reward "Lockbox" will roll something from me, ranging from Uncommon to Epic results.
The only thing I noticed is that the game must have some kind of tracker to tell if you participated or not in the HE. Just standing there will give you 25 Raw Black Ice, while if you participate (in any way), the game rolls from the actual rewards pool.
@speedytiger. The Black Ice gloves drop from the EPIC Remorhaz Encounter (not Remorhaz Hunt: Heroic).. many players including myself have received them numerous times. I can confirm with 7 black ice HR gloves from Rem.
The Beholder drops mainhands.. Havent received mine yet.. due to the large amount of players who join in the battle. but the overwhelming results from my Black Ice Bow thread confirms with the amount of replies I have received.
I've gotten my Black Ice Bracers three times IN A ROW from the Remorhaz. Which isn't that great for me, because what the hell am I going to do with three bracers besides Salvage? I want my mainhand! lol x)
Plz tell me the recipe;), how to do that, cause i'm tired of HEs now, no drop from anything on any char!

I don't know what all this screamin is bout. I've had 3 characters get gloves(bracers) in the last couple days. :rolleyes:
I am NOT screaming but i farm since module 3 came out (almost 4 weeks). The Orb dropped on the sec day and i thougt yaay But till now what ever i try what skills i use farming alone or in a team follow the quest line NO glove drops at all. And that annoying me
Funny cause I got mine the times I arrived pretty late into these events so I couldn't have contributed too much. I feel the luck involved is way too much.
At least make all these drops available from KR. It's really a pain when you can't even see a timer for when the next one in your current instance will be spawning.

I got the orb twice on my CW. Never got any gloves.
On my DC and HR, I never got any gear drops.
Last night, spent a few hours doing HE's with my CW. Still no gloves.
I am ready to give up.

The Black Ice Bracers don't have set bonuses or special enchantment slots until they are upgraded though.

My DC is very excited about these changes.

I already got 3 gloves(2 - prepatch) for my cw w/o big effort just doing remos during Daily questing.
The orb however required much more intensive farming till it finally dropped from Chilltooth Trolls (great success)
