Purpose for Shadow Caves??!?!?

[IanJones]

Is the only purpose for the Shadow Caves is gain EXP and find pinks? I don't think there are any quests or anything else of importance correct? I read that the pinks are SUPER RARE but that is the only point for doing runs there.

There aren't any quests there. The pinks are super rare and powerful for their level but the time and cost (in potions) it takes to get them isn't worth it IMO. Back when the level cap was 50 everyone was wanting these items but you can get level 51 equips now a lot easier and a lot cheaper. I was in a group that spent a fair bit of time farming there when the level cap was 55 and my advice would be to only go to shadow caves and farm if you're level 65 and are bored and want to try something new and maybe make some gold while you do it. If you're level 50 I'd either get a cheaper void, cosmos, or rift set to use or buy level 51 sewer gear and use that until you get to level 55.

Yes, that's pretty much the gist.

The pinks are about the only reason to play there. It is a bit of accomplishment to clear all 5 caves atleast once, but its not significant to the overall game. They were quite challenging back when the cap was 55, I haven't tried since then, it might be easier with the new end level gear.

Yes. There are no quest in the Shadow Caves, and it's pretty much a place to go if you want to take a whole lot of punishment since drops are ultra rare and the bosses hit HARD!

On the contrary even with a group of lvl 60's+ it is still pretty challenging. You have to have a well rounded group that knows how to beat the bosses there to survive!!

I remember when the Shadow Witch would do 700 damage to you as soon as you stepped in the room XD

Kinda like frozen nightmares, but with out the astounding weapon from quests . . . At least for now *hint hint*

SC would be awesome if the mobs/items scaled every 10 levels above 50

[Elyseon]

Hmm sounds fun, should get a team.of 66 to destroy that place. A tank, 3 birds, and a mage should do nicely, making sure mage.is in back

[Fyrce]

1000 shadow shards and 1000 locks of witch's hair for some shadow weapons would be cool quests! And get people in there periodically

[Samhayne]

It's where all the cool kids hang out

[Whirlzap]

Hmm, is that where the Devs hang out?
I thought the Devs only hung out at the Level 70 Humania Metropolis Elite Dungeon?
Right? RIGHT?

[Duped]

Thats a great idea!! Fyrce!! How sweet would a "white" shadow set be to complement black ice?

[Piosidon]

Well the shadow caves town is roomy, but the last time I was there, some kids were telling yo mama jokes.
