Can anyone tell me how to melt the ice block to get to befana apparently just using the torch don't work they added something else you need to do

Did you light the torch at the fire where the torch dropped?

Yes i was reading a forum some where saying that you have to have killed sortom or something but i dont know about that lol

We tried it this evening. when lightning the torch at the fire it says that it lay in the snow for too long, so we need to get it to a more volatile area in the region.
so it looks like they changed the quest

Ok - so here is my knowledge on this quest as gathered from talking to multiple people, including Aby and Matthias.

There is a new step added now and the torch cannot be lit in the old manner (kill ogre, get torch, lite it, run to block). Matthias said "run the main quest line and it will become obvious what you need to do". Aby said that "he cannot give hints"; however, he maid it clear that the hint that the torch gives to "take it to a warmer, more volatile region" it accurate.

I ran a guild group through Tajendi 2 yesterday (8 hours) and collected all three tears, made the tear of tajendi, killed a bunch of bosses and attempted Sortrom about 10 times before we gave up. At this point we had taken to torch to both volcano regions (fire tear/Harpy area and Sortrom area) and then ran the torch back to the fire and it still would not catch fire. This led us to the conclusion that you have to defeat Sortrom before you can lite it.

I have plans to test the Sortrom theory today and will let you know how it turns out.

I will not give away any more information than this...mostly because I was forced to go through the headache myself.

Inorder to light the torch you need a specific item that can only be obtained after the encounter with Sortrom.
The item that you need is a consumable item. You can obtain more than one per Sortrom kill.

This is not a guess any more so don't feel as if your time fighting the new and improved Sortrom is going to waste.

I still wait for a walkthrough before trying to date her again.
Daoc PvM is a waste of time except SI!
