Shadow from T3/T4 Hohonora will now shadow step.

When creating an instance (or non-instance coming up), he'll spawn after 30 minutes. Then, after you kill him without him doing a shadow step on you, it'll take 1-30 minutes for him to respawn again.

His original spawn location is random every time throughout the whole zone.

His HP and Regen are reduced to help make this quest go faster.

His size has been made smaller from 45 to 30.

There won't be so much of a long battle like before, but searching for where he shadow stepped too can be challenging.

As always, you can use MQ2 to see NPCs on the map, but you can't warp to the mob. If I catch players warping/teleporting to the boss every time he shadow steps, then there will be bans in place. You need to run/fight your way to him again.

I'm thinking about making him also do a shadow step once an hour, sort of like the 1 hour depop in Plane of Dragon bosses, but the Shadow would shadow step instead. I could either have engaging the boss reset the 1 hour time for shadow step, or not do that and hope you got to him within enough time. Either way, he would still have chance to shadow step during the fight as its written already. So that is just an idea for the future.

Later I'll be 1) adding mini bosses to Hohonora and 2) Assassin Quest bosses in the 10 zones will call for random guards to help them out during the fight, instead of spawning adds. Just need time to add that stuff in.

Edit: If the Shadow boss shadow steps, then the 1st able group that gets to him will have the rights to the boss. You can not hold the boss because he shadow stepped on you. First person to find him again gets him. Using instances will help to avoid this probably too.

Enjoy!

Hunter

This sounds great boss,

My guild is getting flagged right now and should be doing T3 soon. From what we have heard it is a grind and no fun at all so this is good news as the shadow fight will be more dynamic.

Could the 100k pricetag for guild instances be reviewed at all since this appears to be quite steep ever since the 3.7billion was removed from the game.

Since the plat was removed 100k is more like 300-500k due to what you can make from selling charms/fg or cg items/quest armour/runs is now alot less than it was before the nerf.

I know it is higher content and should cost more than the others but 10k to 100k is a steep rise nowadays. Even 50k would be a massive improvement for a guild like mine which isn't uber rich and will have to farm just to do the current level of content.

Thanks for your time,

Even though 3.7 billion Plat was removed, about 100 people still had 5 million plat each. So that's 500,000,000 plat still floating around in the economy right now.

Were the 1-25 charms added to Shadow? That was mentioned in the original post about changing Shadow a few weeks back.

I think it would be bad, but you can farm qvic or velks for gems to pay for Hoh and spend about 3 hours in there to make back the cost.
Still wouldnt want to see the price increased.

No charms atm.

Yeah my guess would be youre not going to be seeing charms on him.  Of course I could be totally wrong.
