Ice Rod is a trinket item dropped by enemies. While it is equipped in the trinket slot, the Ice Rod shoots an orb of ice every X seconds, freezing any enemies in its path for Y seconds. These values are randomly determined on drop and can be changed if reforged using an Anvil.

The time between shots (X) is a random value between 3 and 5 seconds and the freeze duration (Y) is a random value between 2 and 4 seconds. These are determined to the millisecond, with all possible values equally likely.

When dropped or reforged, there is a 5% chance for the Ice Rod to become "Perfect", changing its name to "Perfect Ice Rod". This variant fires every 3 seconds and freezes for 4 seconds.

Trivia

• It is technically possible, although extremely unlikely (less than a 1-in-42-million chance) to receive an Ice Rod with perfect stats - i.e. a 3000 millisecond delay between shots, and a freeze duration of 4000 milliseconds, without it being a "Perfect Ice Rod".
