Alright, so tonight I decided to chase Shadow around and see if I couldn't find one of the 20 charms I need for my UC.... He shadowstepped me 14 times that I could count and I still didn't get the damn kill because the server was shutting down. Now I do not know what is going on, but he never shadowstepped on me past 8 times... and that was one time that he did that.

Tonight I had killed him around 15-20 times with each one being only around 2-5 times for shadowstepping. I would have simply, zoned out and came back in to try again, but waiting on a first spawn of 30minutes I wasn't looking forward to it.

Hunter,

I love you server, my all time favorite server, but could you please put a cap on Shadow? I do not like chasing him for one V1 charm upgrade and maybe a V2.

Thanks,
Kingmen/Fally.

P.s. I am not the only that has had this kind of problem. It was brought to my attention that earlier today, someone else had encountered the exact same issue which resulted in a total of 19 Shadow Steps.

Maybe you can make him Shadow Step a little less? Chasing him around is really annoying as it is without doing it for XX amount of times and him only dropping the same loot.

Also, I second :

Like the idea of adding to the loot table every time he hops especially when he hops of 10 times.

Not sure what kind of coding that'd take but that last idea is pretty cool. Sort of like a Shadow lottery.

Random, just like the 2.5 Epic Book, this 3.5 Epic Book is random chance etc.

Having the same problems with shadow taking 15 to 20 hops. I had a guildy tell me the same thing last night over 25 hops and he was not able to stay on any longer to see if he could kill him.

Its a RNG set at 1/3 chance of not teleporting.

Is it a one time only check per engagement?  I've heard some speculation that there's less chance of him shadow stepping if you kill him faster.  I kill fairly slow and the most I've had is 4 steps, and the fewest is zero.  That's in a fairly small sampling including one chase this weekend where he stepped three times before I got him.

I would think that yeah, him Shadowstepping and your killing rate would have some kind of affect on it, as I can kill shadow in roughly 4-5 minutes with no issues (Meaning him not shadowstepping).

If I didn't need shadow to finish my UCs, then I wouldn't even dare touch him unless I felt it was necessary ehhe.

But to answer you, I am not entirely sure if it has some kind of affect on his ability, but I would think it would... since EQ is more "Real life"1 based logic than any other game.


1. It is based off more realistic views than that of any other game. For example, you receive less hits from the front than the back, etc.
