Liquid Ice

In EBF5

In EBF4

"A rare form of ice only found in warm climates."

―In-game description, Epic Battle Fantasy 4 & 5

Liquid Ice is a crafting item in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5. It is water used for forging mostly Ice- and Water-themed equipment; in EBF4, it is also used to forge a few pieces of gear that feature bottles in their design.

In EBF4, Liquid Ice is stored in a cone-shaped phial with a brown rope tied around the neck; three blue beads are attached to the rope. It can be bought in Whitefall Town and Goldenbrick Resort for 1,100 gold; to complete all of the relevant upgrades, 128 are required.

In EBF5, Liquid Ice appears to be a swirl of water, being a duller shade of blue than its EBF4 incarnation. It can be bought in any Material Shop for 1100 gold, and 118 are needed to upgrade everything.

Trivia

• Liquid Ice is the counterpart of Solid Water, with their item descriptions being opposites of each other.
• The EBF4 version of Liquid Ice strongly resembles the Ether item used in Epic Battle Fantasy 1 and 2, with the main difference being the angle of the phial and the beaded rope tied around its neck.
