Perfect shadow blades with 15^50 are flooding the market.
In my opinion, their worth will be less than long swords in some time.
Well, I never liked the style because they look like black plastic swords.
What do you think about?
Do you really like the style? Or are you buying them because they got re-added and you want to be one of the first owners?
I will never own one. Tell me your opinion.

It's mainly because it's something new and different. I'll never buy one with the price being the way it is now, but honestly I do like the skin so eventually I wouldn't mind having one when the price drops to something within my range.

As stated in a thread about armor. My first concern is performance, next comes appearance.

I like the style.
I would have liked it to be longer though.
Not buying, since Im content with the other sword styles atm.

I like the skin quite a bit, but I already have a fine representative in Victo's Blade. I have all other sword bases covered at the moment for whatever situation I might need so don't feel compelled to get one. I thnk I still might need a zealous sword, if so I will check out any skins I like and if they are reasonable. If not, I will just go to droks and get one crafted and throw on he mods myself.

When people want economical they buy the droks sword. The sword is popular now so people are looking for it, but the price won't ever touch a perfect fellblade or chaos axe. Market just seems flooded because it is new so you notice when people are selling them more.

For me I was lucky and got myself 2 shadowblades that were actually useful in a single run.
Other than that I usually sell a shadowblade for 1-2k over merchant price.
*Edit* Shadowblades look great for me, much better than fellblades. On par with the Longsword

My current Mo/Wa is weilding a Shadow Blade but only for the fact that it was better then my Fell Blade. In all honesty I don't care for the style that much and I thought by haveing one it would some how be better but it's not. I prefer the nice Fell Blade, has anyone stoped to look at it. The obsidion blade has a wonderufl shine and when your outside you can see the shadows/reflection of trees on it. Also it's a long curved weapon much like the blade of Squall's Revolver from FF8. Personly when I find a good Fell blade for him I'll sell the Shadow Blade.

Where do they drop and are all 15>50?
Leon_Ux-ixen
From what I have read Shadow weapons can only be found in UW=Under World. But I have found a Shadow Bow left behied by someone I did a FA Sorrow run with. The item had been dropped from a chest. No they are not all 15^50 my Mo/Wa currenly has one that has +13%(when hex) which I find more usefull then when my health is above 50%.

Shadow Blades are dropped in the Fissure of Woe, NOT Underworld. and no they are not all 15>50.
Personally i think that the shadow blade should have been made a little bigger. it looks too small on my character, compared to seeing it on the shadow warriors in fissure and how much bigger it looks on them. That and for looks I think the wingblade is the nicest
Besides, i have a shadow blade that dropped for me free about a month and a half before these came out that has good stats on it. i can get the same one thats req 9 for around 15-20k right now. like im gonna spend 100k on one. pfft Go victos !

I don't think i'm ever going to own one either. All my other crap is fine.

well if you want one but dont want for the looks but dont want to pay the big price right now you got 2 choices:
1) wait for it to go down
or
2) buy a victos blade
personally im not gonna use it but i like the look so i got the victo's.

I found one req 10, 15 in stance in my first run right after i saw they have been around (about 2-3 days after they have been introduced). Since then it seems that the rare item farmer bandwagon has hit fow.
I tried to sell it, asked around 50k. Got a 75k ingame offer, but since i didn't have a stance sword, I decided to keep it.
I sold one blade at 2k, purple, req 8, 11^50. Anyway, I don't know what all the fuss is about. Everything that is labeled "Shadow" (bow, staff and now sword) is or will be very common due to the heavy FoW farming going on.
So there is no reason to spend your money on these sword.

I like the style but I got no use for it since I don't have any warriors. But I might help my friend get it if he wants it once it's goes down.

I'll stick with my Hand Axe. At least they haven't made a green or collector's item that looks like it (yet)...

Looks nice on female warriors, but my male warrior looks like wielding a toy sword. Flamberge ftw

Compairing it to a Fellblade makes it looks tiny.
Gunz Blazing Smile
Looks nice, I prefer other skins. Victo's Blade has the same look so I'll join the crowds of masses that way if I feel like it.
CKaz
I wanted one - for starters I think it'd look cool on a A/W
I also hadnt played with a perfect vamp on a sword, so I bought a victos blade for 30k, at the time thinking it was a good price (now they're half or even less as I type I suppose).
Had I known they'd start dropping I definately would have waited to pick up my own moddable one to be sure (much more of a fan of mods like zealous).
Also if you could dual wield it it'd be that much more interesting
But yeah you never know what they're going to do - it went from none available to green to dropping a hella-lot.

I like the look of Shadow Blades. I have a Drok's long sword and a Victo's Blade; they both serve a purpose. But I'd like to have a Furious Shadow Blade of Fortitude one day. Switching weapons due to vampiric health drain is annoying.
I think fellblades just look stupid, very Final Fantasy/Cloud. Gayyyyy.......

Count to Potato
Its really like fat people in real life (no objections) they are just as good as other pople in jobs just look worse, shadow blades to saem amount of damage as tribal blades but look nicer, so price goes up, FoW armor too is the same, stats are the same look different all that has to do with it...
UndeadRoadkill
I was wishing they'd bring them back for a while (I wanted one I could stand there and admire, rather than only seitch to for combat, e.g. Victos Blade), but I have nearly no money. I'll wait until they've completely saturated the market.
wsmcasey
I always liked the shadow blade skin, but never bought victos blade because of the vamp mod.
Now that shadow blades are dropping I will get one when the price is right, and mod it the way I want.

Spatha, Fellblade > Shadow ^.^
Stolen Souls
I agree with what a few others have said...if I want one I'll just use my Victo's.
I think they look pretty good, but they do need to be a bit bigger. It looks kind of odd when my Warrior is holding it.
I tend to like the "odd" looking swords...Spathas, Fellblades, etc.

Long Sword FTW
Its still the best sword skin and probly always will be. Its simplistic, noticable, and looks like a sword should when you are hacking.
Victos killed the market for shadow blades before it even began. Vamp, zealous, and furious are the only hilts you probly ever use (at least smart players). 30 hp is always going to be the pommel for war weapons due to your high armor you don't need anything else.
We can get the 2 best mods and most popular dmg mod from a green.
Besides what else has dropped in UW in the past 8 months besides ectos?

i like my shadow blade. its 14% while enchanted so thats pretty decent. i didnt pay for it so more to the good.

I'm a skin collector. I doubt I need to say anymore than that.

Just got my first Shadow Blade from a FoW chest last night. 14%^50%, Health +29, req 10. Not sure if I should keep or sell. I'm leaning toward selling it, to make the money while the demand is high. I do need a good sword, as backup though. Maybe I'll just sell this and get a collector sword. Like quickmonty said, performance > look.

i really like the skin and its nice to have it back, not sure about *plastic* look tho. but again all vanity skins are the matter of personal preference - some ppl like chaos axes, some prefer sephis axe and so on... as long as u can afford it u can use whatever u like - imho its better to have perfect weapons wit regular skin than so-so vanity skin weapons. but if smbdy can buy 15^50 shadowblade - why not?

As for shadow blades... I couldn't care less since I never plan on playing a warrior :P
Diablo???
I hate victors, but I just bought a max purple shadow blade for 1.8k. I'm setting it up for my all-black character. Shadow Blade + Shadow Shield FTW!
