The Insane Cryoweaver Guide
Introduction
NOTE: This guide is the definitive guide to min-maxing, it has lots of small optimisations that really only an insane person would do. You do not need to follow this guide to get profits or good progress.
If you want the basic guide The Cryoweaver Guide
The Cryomancer is a class unique to the "Cryoweaver", with high evo scaling and the ability to slow down time. Cryomancer also has some more advanced tech, making use of incant and cap snapping.
Attributes
You will follow a similar perk priority order as archon/tempo(no wisdom/dom in this case). Once core perks are obtained priority becomes this:
- Wisdom 250 perk
- Max Empathy
- Max Spellcraft
- Max Mastery
- Max Insight
- Max Intelligence
- Max Patience
- Max Domination
- Versatility
The high empathy priority is only true while archivist is your burst pet, however since we switch to VLA so late we can just max it first anyway.
Phases
Prep Q1
Mix of Gear that can be changed. Incant for bigger shard pool, Evo/PaP for faster shard generation. All Incant gear is worth enchanting as needed, you never want to be limited by your shard pool.

Crying Together
This will be a step by step on how to do the things you want to do.
Import all Spell sets into the same slot, they are pre-prepared.
Stack Spells 1
Q4 -> Geode -> Ley Keeper -> Q1 -> Q2 -> Change any of the 4 middle spells to Void Radiance and void lure if needed until your Temp Reduction is 0% -> Q2 -> 50% Exile spent here.
You want to stack with no Temp because if you freeze first then your autoclicks will accumulate slowly, and autoclicks scale Recaller Stone in Scry phase.
Stack Spells 2
Q1 for about 5 seconds -> Q3 -> 40% of exile here
Stack a little chill, but not enough so you run out of shards.
Stack Spells & Shard Spending
WARNING: This phase can only be AFK'd if you have set up your Spell Memes appropriately, and may not last more than 30-60minutes. This isn't a big deal because to fix it you Q1 -> Interrogator -> Q3 -> Geode, and you have full shards again but it is not fully AFK. Q1 fills the shards up and in Q3 if you want more shard pool to remain so you can AFK for longer you will need extra Shard pool or Incant enchants.
Q4 -> Geode -> Ley Keeper (Repeat these two steps until LK gets bonus to Mastery with high lvl -> Q5 -> Wait to get max Time Reduction -> Q1 -> Interrogator -> Shards should fill -> Q3 -> Geode -> Swap out Rubedo for Warp Basilisk (Extra Permafrost Casts).
You want to CaP Snap using Leykeeper with Mastery bonus, then swap to fill shard pool, and go back to stacking set to spend shards. Max Temp increases your spell costs with Still Arcana.
VE
You have none, let's fix that fast.
Q6 -> Put on Enchanted Temporal Scabbard, and Eerie Turqiouse Phylactery -> Wait till you have some VE's (not long).
Void Mana Phase
Q4 -> VoidTerror -> Q6 -> Wait for Vmana to go up until it slows. For the next step you will be on a timer since Vmana will drop and you need to get it all done pretty fast.
Summon snap & Burst (Time Limit)
Q4 Ent (10 seconds) -> Q1 (for 0.1 sec) for freeze and to allow easy snap -> Q7 -> Use Mist -> Q4 TAKE OFF COLDBLOODRING -> VLA -> Idle mode kicks in -> Q5 (Time limit ends here, you're safe if your mist is still active) -> Wait for max temp -> Q8 (After Spell memes this will almost instantly deplete your shard pool so do Q8 -> Q9 -> Q8 as needed)
Memetics

NOTE: Shard Pool & Infused Glacial Formations Efficiency is assuming you are not over stacking these. If you can't spend the shards from the Extra shard pool they are 100% useless, you will have to fine tune these yourself. I tested this with 21 shard pool, 16 Glacial, and a lvl 32 Permafrost for reference.
Permafrost has the efficiency for Shard Spending included as that's what we'll be using, so if you don't have enough shard pool you'll also not recieve the full benefit. It's just 1.24456 without shard spending.
Spell | Efficiency | Cast Amount |
---|---|---|
Permafrost | 3.2018 | 1.08 |
Flash Freeze | 1.6267 | 0 |
Shard Pool | 1.957247 | 0 |
Ritual Of Potency | 1.2 | 0.8 |
Conjure Freezing Mist | 1.3 | 0 |
Ritual Of Power | 1.2 | 0.45 |
Blizzard | 1.2 | 0 |
Still Arcana | 1 | 1.2 |
Infused Glacial Formations | 1.244 | 0 |
Efficiency increases every Memetic Level, Cast Amount every 3 levels. |
