What does the Snowquill set bonus do?
Set bonus
Unfreezable
Active when all three pieces are at ★★ or higher.
The full-set bonus negates all ice damage. Each piece on its own has Cold Resistance, which is what keeps you from losing hearts in the cold.
How much defense does each piece give?
| Piece | Base | ★ | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snowquill Headdress | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Snowquill Tunic | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Snowquill Trousers | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
3 at base and 20 at four stars.
What does it take to upgrade the Snowquill set?
Upgrades are done at a Great Fairy Fountain, one star at a time, for materials only (no rupees). The table is per piece.
| ★ | Materials |
|---|---|
| ★ | Red Chuchu Jelly ×3 |
| ★★ | Red Chuchu Jelly ×5, Warm Safflina ×3 |
| ★★★ | Fire Keese Wing ×8, Sunshroom ×5 |
| ★★★★ | Red Lizalfos Tail ×10, Ruby ×5 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
The materials are all warm things, the same ones that cook into spicy (cold resistance) dishes; the recipe finder lists them.
When should you wear the Snowquill set?
Wear it in Hebra and on the Gerudo Highlands. Once all three are at two stars, Ice Keese, Ice Wizzrobes and ice attacks no longer freeze you. Elsewhere it is just a defense set.
