Basic info

This guide works for both SSF and Trade league

We will be using Creeping Frost from level 12 until act10
In SSF we get the Ice Nova of Frostbolts gem by running the labyrinth in act 10
using 'Transform a Skill Gem to be a random Transfigured Gem of the same colour' divine font option which is guaranteed
Also you have a small chance of getting 'Transform a non-Transfigured Skill Gem to be a random Transfigured version' option which gives you a 50/50 chance of getting a desired Int gem (so buy an Ice Nova gem for this)

If you play Trade league - you can buy the Ice Nova of Frostbolts gem
Obtaining the gem should possibly happen before act8 or later on as you get some currency and should cost around 1 chaos orb in the early hours of the league
The provided passive tree should work for both Creeping Frost and Ice Nova of Frostbolts setups
Check act10 setup if you bought the Ice Nova of Frostbolts gem before the act10
