Ice Cave
This dungeon drops from Lord of the Lost Lands (about 50%) and White Demons (extremely rare).
This Ice Cave is pretty easy, sort of. If you are in a small group it can take a bit of time due to its size. The first part of the cave you have to defeat all the big monsters before the portal to the Inner Sanctum opens up.
If you move slowly exploring new areas taking out the big monsters as you come to them you will have a much easier time. The big monsters have enough health that even buffed melees take some time to defeat them. Once you have defeated all the big monsters you will see "Innocent souls. So delicious. You have sated me. Now come, I shall give you your reward”. This is the time to move to the snowy patch where the portal will open up taking you to the Inner Sanctum.
I should mention that this portal once opened does not close. You now have quite a bit of time to wait for others to teleport to you before the people in the Inner Sanctum get to the chest. Please wait, announce to the stragglers to TP to you.
I should mention that this dungeon is notoriously easy to drag monsters (lots and lots). The dragger will bring the crowd through to the snowy patch to dislodge, cause to nexus or just kill people sitting on the snow leaching. I don't like draggers but it is a fact of life in this dungeon. Your best defense is to go help hunt the monsters down.
Inner Sanctum
This area can be dangerous to all. There are paralyze, confuse, unstable and lots of pain here. Don't rush through, but work your way around the outside killing the 8 towers. Don't destroy the 4 ice walls which offer some protection from the boss shots.
Once all the towers are destroyed, move into the center and prepare to kill the spawned monsters that look like small 4 headed skulls. Once you have killed these the boss shows up. Hit him until he gets large, paralyze will help here. Once he turns large, then the towers will reappear and some of the larger versions of the 4 headed skulls. If you are in a small group then it may be easier to destroy the 8 towers again before tackling the boss. Kill the boss when possible then the chest appears. Kill the chest collect loot. During the chest phase any monsters that are still around may come calling so be careful.
Pot Drops - MANA, DEX
Item Drops - Staff of Esben, Skullish Remains of Esben, Tier 12 weapons
Level 15 to level 20 - no stats potted
This will be a hard dungeon for those with no stats potted. The first part is easy enough provided you take your time killing the monsters slowly one at a time. The Inner Sanctum will be very dangerous without max DEF. Consider taking a pass on this dungeon.
Level 20 - at least DEF potted
Take it slow, kill the monsters one at time. Beware of draggers. Once you have reached the Inner Sanctum use the walls as cover, take out the 8 towers. Don't speed off into the room.

Notes on Classes:
- Melee classes all benefit here from the extra DEF and damage they can do.
- Bow classes - The Doom Bow hits very hard and can help clear the monster quickly. Use your ability to slow or paralyze the boss making him easier to kill.
- Mystic - Curse and your self buff will help take down the enemies quickly.
- Necromancer - keep your friends healthy with time throws of your skull.
- Ninja - The katana is a great blade, slicing and dicing your way to fame. Throw the star once you have cleared the path. Take home the loot.
