== Notes ==
* Bitterfrost Frontier is part of the Shiverpeak Mountains, and counts towards mining, logging, or harvesting, daily achievements in that region.
* This map is part of the [[Daily Living World Season 3]] achievement group. Every 6 days, extra achievements will reward additional currencies and experience.
** There are four achievements: using a [[Thaw Elixir]], gathering 5 winterberries, lighting or defending a brazier, and gathering 10 Unbound Magic orbs. Each achievement rewards 3 [[Chest of the Bitterfrost Frontier Hero]].
* Since Bitterfrost Frontier was released as part of [[Living World Season 3]], experience earned here will go towards ''Heart of Maguuma'' [[Mastery|masteries]].
* The zone's [[renown heart]]s have their progress [[Server reset#Daily reset|reset daily]].
* Unlike other open world zones, Bitterfrost Frontier's [[Day and night|day-night cycle]] is tied to the [[Beacons of Koda]] meta event.
**Specifically, the cycle will start at dawn (5 AM Tyrian Time) at normal rate until “Storm arrives in” some time after 1:00 PM<sup>1</sup> . The time will then skip to 8 PM and progresses for a full 5 minutes to 9 PM (Refer to [[Beacons of Koda]] for approximate length of time for “Jormag’s Fury”)
*** <sup>1</sup> "Storm Arrives in" used to occur at exactly 1 PM but the times are no longer fixed. It has been observed to occur anywhere between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM
**Jormag’s Fury will begin next and the time will now skip to 9 PM; remaining frozen until [[Defeat Jormag's Champion]] is over.
***[[Defeat Jormag's Champion]] will begin as soon as the bar progression for Jormag's Fury is full.
**After all of Jormag's Champions are killed, the time will skip to 5 AM and the cycle will repeat.
**Consequently, the day-night cycle in Bitterfrost will ''not'' be synchronized with the rest of Tyria.
* Chests in the Bitter Cold give roughly double the loot of other Icebound Chests, and are lootable once per day, per character.
* Orbs of [[Unbound Magic]] found in the trees(20) and underwater(33), used to spawn in variable numbers on a rotation basis. All the orbs now spawn daily as permanent nodes.
