Shadowfade Armor

Shadowfade is a worthy challenger to Carbonum Armor for protection; it has the usual "better than Carb at Energy and Radiation". But that means nothing compared to its 70 Concealment and 3 each of Aimed Shot and Rifle.

There is a decent argument to support the notion that the helm, like the Skull of the Ancients and Nematet's Eye, never dropped, and players would only tell stories on Auno about getting it. At any rate, it was restored to a decent drop rate years ago, while the nonexistent implants were only added to the loot table with Patch 18.7

Requires Sense >= 194 and : Agility >= 212.

It is possible, although somewhat rare, to get a drop of both Arm pieces from Reverend Olluay, and presumably from Caddelly and Saxx. Likewise, presumably two separate pieces can be obtained at once from Rendal or Julaan, and three from Yen.

All Shadowfade pieces are found in the Temple of Three Winds, and in no other location.

• Head: Drops from Windcaller Rendal. Extremely rare, but despite rumors to the contrary, does exist. Froobs resisting the temptation to make do with the Fixer-shop agent balaclava will give the benefit of a buffing item that gives a +1 to both Rifle and Aimed Shot. No other RK head armor can do both of these at once.
• Torso: Drops from Windcallers Rendal, Tilla, and Yen
• Arms: Drop from Reverends Caddelly, Olluay, and Saxx
• Gloves: Drop from Reverends Julaan and Gulard
• Legs: Drops from Reverends Julaan and Saxx, and Windcaller Yen
• Boots: Drops from Windcallers Rendal and Yen
