I want to farm me a inscriptable for a cool caster weapon but wiki wasn't very helpfull where in Elona does it drops for sure...any suggestions? I know there are shadow warriors outside gate of madness and outside abaddons gate location...
do all shadow warriors have a chance to drop one ? any help will be very nice

I intend to farm them with a E/Me perma-obsi-sliver build

FoW. I've never heard of shadow blades dropping from the shadow army in torment, only in FoW. Suppose it's possible though.

Do you obsidian drakes from the Drakes on a Plain drop them? because if they do, you could try that.

Probably the only way is the End Chest of the FoW, that may be the only way to get inscripable shadow blades.

i've had quite a few shadow axes drop in Gloom (of DoA) and i'm pretty sure i had a shadow sword drop there before, sorry not very specific but hey. and also i think the chance of one dropping is still pretty slim

are the ones dropped by monsters in FoW inscriptable? or only the one from end chest ?

wiki stated that shadow warriors in Nightfallen Garden drop them but I cant get there since I've done that quest

I had a shadow axe as chest drop in Ravenheart Gloom but never a sword...

I did a ton of DoA, got about 40+ gold shadow axes and zero shadowblades. Statistically odds appear low for getting them there. And only the FoW/UW end chests drop inscribables... however 15^50 isn't *that* hard to find as the Shadowblade isn't the most rare drop and all.
edit: oh yeah, even though the FoW chest of woe drops inscribable golds (sometimes) it's not a great bet for getting a shadowblade as it drops similar to the HoH chest... that is, from all campaigns. Additionally it takes from 1.5-3 hours for a competent player/group to clear it.

DoA? Never seen any shadow blades there.
FoW? Yes, but only end-game chest has inscribable ones.

Inscribable, not inscriptable.
Did you not think it didn't sound right when saying it?
At least now you know.
