Ice skates are used in areas with frozen patches of water that are specially made for ice skating.

Ice skates come in a plain, common variety which can be purchased at festival shops as well as at The Rhimar Rink in the Landing Bazaar. Also, there are freely-usable ice skates at Iceland Skate Center at the premium hall called Burga Hall in Icemule Trace. These skates are automatically returned when you leave the area. Ice skates also come in a more scripted version called Ice Patch skates.

Additional Information

Skates are wearable at all times but the skating verbs only work on ice rinks and it is the ice skates that confer the skating messages. If you try to go onto an ice rink without skates, the following occurs:

You fumble about before you realize that wearing skates would only aid your gracefullness on the slippery ice.

Ice skates have come in a variety that offers no usage for skating rinks at all.
