The Ice Brand is a huge upgrade over the Mythril Sword and Mythril Axe, both in terms of Attack and Accuracy. Not only that, but its Ice-elemental attack makes it even more effective against many enemies in Mt. Gulg. Though found first, the Ice Brand is significantly more powerful than the Flame Sword, and should be used in its place unless fighting an enemy the Flame Sword is specifically strong against. It also makes an excellent Weapon for your Red Mage, potentially granting them a third attack before any other Weapon. Just for good measure, you'll find a second Ice Brand in the Citadel of Trials.
The Ice Shield is the Fire-resistant version of the Flame Shield. Give it to someone wearing the Flame Armor to maximize your elemental resistances.

The Ice Shield is another Element-resisting shield with the same stats as the rest. It resists Fire, and unlike the Ice- and Lightning-resistant shields, you will be able to buy more Ice Shields later in the game. Fire attacks are fairly common, so this is a good shield to have on hand. Note that you can find one in the Dreadnought, but it is guarded by a deadly Hill Gigas. Since you can always get more later, this is one Treasure you might consider passing by.

The Ice Shld is a nice shield, and along with the other Elemental shields, the best shield many Characters can equip in terms of Defense and Mag.Def. It offers protection against Ice (which it absorbs) and Fire, but also confers a weakness to Wind. As a nice side bonus, the user will learn Ice 2 at a ×5 rate.
