Ten thousand years of pressure in one chunk. Its Glacial Bulk trait massively expands armor vitality.
Dense glacial mass turns flesh to fortress.
How the waterline works. The game counts Glacierite's share of the total crucible: under 10% the trait is INACTIVE; 10–30% it scales linearly (SCALING); 30–35% is OPTIMAL (full 14%); past 35% it is OVERCAP — the trait stays maxed but the extra ores are wasted multiplier.
Exact top-up formula. Adding Δ ores also grows the total N, so the real formula is Δ₁₀ = ceil((N − 10n) / 9) for the 10% line and Δ₃₀ = ceil((3N − 10n) / 7) for the 30% sweet spot — never the naive "fill to 30%".
Worked example. Say your 50-ore crucible already holds 8 Glacierite (16%, SCALING at 9.8%). To max out you need +10 more — landing at 18/60 = exactly 30%. And a tiny 30-ore forge holding 2 Glacierite needs +2 to wake the trait (4/32 = 12.5%).

Glacial Bulk applies to armor — these solver picks pin Glacierite at the 30% sweet spot on the best armor of its stage, the Glacier Plate.

Glacierite carries a 3.6x crucible multiplier — B tier, epic rarity — sourced from Frostspire Expanse. A crucible loaded entirely with Glacierite forges at exactly 3.6x.
Glacial Bulk caps at 30% of the crucible load: ceil(0.3 × N) ores — 15 Glacierite in a 50-ore forge. At 10% it activates at 8%, reaching the full 14% at 30%.
Ice Geode (Frostspire Expanse) at 14.6%; Frozen Boulder (Frostspire Expanse) at 15.2%; Glacier Chunk (Frostspire Expanse) at 26.1%.
Glacierite is a solid mid-game ore — respectable 3.6x multiplier plus the Glacial Bulk trait for armor.
