Is Shade right for your level?
The main thing that changes with your level is whether you can hit it. Each level the monster has over you scales your accuracy down. Accuracy you need for a 100% hit rate (your total ACC from the stat window, gear and skills included):
| Your level | 40 | 44 | 48 | 52 | 56 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACC needed | 149 | 132 | 114 | 114 | 114 |
Calculated with the Classic accuracy formula (see accuracy and hit rate), which reproduces published in-game examples exactly. It hits for 620 weapon attack and 682 magic attack, so check your HP and defense too; it attacks on sight.
Where to find Shade
| Map | Area | Spawns |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin of the Forsaken | Hidden Street | 1 |
Getting there: Cabin of the Forsaken is 4 maps from Kerning City (Kerning City → Niora Hospital → The Murky Swamp I → The Murky Swamp II → Cabin of the Forsaken). Full route and map.
Respawn
The game files list a respawn timer of 1 h on Cabin of the Forsaken. Nexon made field boss respawn times more randomized at Grand Launch, so treat this as a range, not an alarm clock.
Drops
Drop tables and rates are calculated on Nexon's servers and are not in the game files. We'll list what our team sees drop, with the number of kills, as we log it.
