The ice ancient sceptre is a sceptre requiring 75 Magic, 60 Strength, and 50 Attack to wield. It is made by attaching the ice quartz, dropped by Duke Sucellus, to the ancient sceptre; this process can be reversed, allowing players to switch between quartzes as desired.

Like its predecessor, the ancient sceptre, it will increase the effects of Ancient Magicks by 10%, with an additional 10% accuracy bonus given to ice spells on targets that can be frozen and are not currently frozen.

The ice ancient sceptre finds practical use in the Inferno for an accurate and consistent option to freeze the Jal-Nibs at the start of rounds, and against other players in the Wilderness.

If the player dies a PvP death at level 20 Wilderness or below and the item is unprotected, it will remain in the player's inventory; however, the item will be in a broken, unusable state and must be repaired by using it on Perdu and paying him 260,687 coins.

If the player dies a PvP death above level 20 Wilderness and the item is unprotected, it will be converted to coins. To prevent this, a Trouver parchment and a payment of 500,000 coins can be given to Perdu in order to permanently lock the item. The locked item will remain in the player's inventory; however, the item will be in a mangled, unusable state and must be repaired by using it on Perdu and paying him 500,000 coins.

The concept of "freeze penetration", which would have given the sceptre a chance of freezing otherwise freeze-immune enemies was proposed, but did not pass the greenlight poll.
