Embrace the Shadows
Head south and a touch east from ICC HQ to Uturn Canyon, fight through or avoid (you would probably need more than 300 Concealment; Adventurer's Leet Form at this level is insufficient) the packs of Shades, and dig through one of their loot piles to retrieve the settler's possessions that the Shades stole. Find another pile or wait for the one you dug to respawn, if you are in a team where multiple players have the quest. This is one time when the mission pointer may not be your friend: it may point to the southernmost pile, even further away than the ones listed in this article.

Description
Embrace the Shadows
There are places on Rubi-Ka that are better left alone. Packs of Shadows lurk in these areas and to become the hunter instead of the hunted you will need to surpass these creatures in perception as well as concealment.
Venture deep into their society and recover the loot they have gathered from unknowing citizens.

XP and Mission Token
Walkthrough
Travel to Uturn Canyon south of ICC. Shades are scattered throughout this zone and it is dark. Go to the middle area, find a trash pile; it can be difficult to find and is surrounded by Shades ready to attack. Right-click on it, and wait for the progress bar to complete; once the progress bar completes without you being attacked, the mission is complete. Find another pile or wait for the one you dug to respawn (about 5 minutes or less), if you are in a team where multiple players have the quest.
In game, Night Vision Goggles, a Light Bar, Floating Torch or Photon Embedded Cloak can help. The Cloak is especially nice because it illuminates even when equipped as Social Armor. Or you can right click on your computer's Desktop and turn up the Gamma or Brightness on your graphics card - Graphics Properties or similar link on the popup menu).

It is not safe to AFK at the entrance to the Canyon. You will almost certainly be safe to buff up or any short term activity, but a Shade WILL patrol and attack after a few minutes. Yalmahas cannot be used inside the Canyon.
It used to be that if you aimed right (high up and to the south) when going through the teleport wall, the tops of the trees a bit to the east of the west wall at 612, 1226 or so were solid enough to stand on. You should be able to see them from the north side of the teleport wall. You could land there and buff, afk, Beacon Warp, keep lower level teammates safe or whatever, standing on a canopy of leaves.
Trash Pile Locations
There are at least two trash pile locations
- Located in middle of the lower half at 680 x 897 screen shot
- Located along the west wall were it bends west at 598 x 993 screen shot
