There was a known issue with respect to evolving items a while back, which is why this item is loaded but doesn't appear in the list here. If you own or see the item and are running Item Collector in the background as you play, it should automatically update, after which it will display as expected here.

Shank still dropping fine. Cleared all the mushrooms that roam around in the flats above the freetrader area (as posted) manbe 6 or 7 times. At least one gatherer spawned each time, two popping many times. After a number of belts and cloaks two popped and they both had the shank! It was clearly visiable on them when they had it. Looted the first and had plenty of time to bank it and return for the second as a druid. My rogue is now happy with a new toy!

Lucy's Item Collector has an occasional bug where it won't read evolving item information for whatever reason. We have the item in our database, but it isn't flagged as evolving from the last time it was updated (2007.07.20). If someone wants to upload a up-to-date version, it should display normally in the sequence again.

Let me know if anyone else has tried this. In the past if I had a weapon that needed to be evolved, I would swap it in and out with my bandolier, until the last minute, and then I would pop in the evolving item. (By the way I used this technique to evolve my blade of the eclipse) But now when I tried this with my ranger on the twisted shank I go no exp on blade I tried several mobs but still no evolution, until I left blade in the whole fight or at least the vast majority of the fight, then I was getting about 1% per kill. It seemed to make no difference if I bow kited just as long as the twisted shank was left in.
That trick has been nerfed long ago. As I recall, you have to have the item equipped for at least 30 seconds to get any evolving xp.
Well it took probrably 3 hours of non stop hunting. I killed all the mushrooms in the little valley between the freemind out post and the undead camp. Not sure but killed one little shroom near water fall seemed to cause the spaun or change it cause got these little shrooms. Dont rmemeber there names . Call them micro shroom. Gatherer spauned in center of little valley seems random. Never saw him spaun again so don't know if its random or set spaun point. Droped cloak sold for 50 or so plat worthless to me :)
Hunted with my 63 necromacer was slow going till i learned how to take em down. Then a friend joined with his shaman and things picked up. Mele alone might do this but only well equiped my pally got wasted down coudnt keep heals on. good luck on your dagger going back soon.

Was just wondering does the guy who drops this spawn if you don't kill the place holders and just wait??? I am Sure I can take him but I can't kill all the Sporalis and have them be kos to me and gang up on me... Been at the camp for a long while just sitting and waitin for him to spawn but still a no show...
29 posts
You have to kill the sporalis to get him to spawn. If you sit up on one of the pillars you can single pull all the mobs, if you are patient and observe their pathing.

My 65 rogue now has 2 of these fully evolved..yes i luv em!...anyways, I found the best places to evolve this thing was in Walls of slaughter with a group, and on my own in grieg's end. It does seem that number of kills and amount of xp both a play a roll, but i've found also that it levels faster if you get the kill shot. I've been told that the evolving items have a sort of personality, and their name plays a part in the trick to evolving them, like for example "DEATHs Maw Dagger" translating maybe to kill shot ;) I'm not entirely certain on these theories but i do know they helped me out, it did seem that the faster I was killing, especially in a small group or 2 or 3 in an area of mostly db's it would level every 2-4 mobs. It did seem to do well in semi-old zones but i have to state right now it did crap in HS one of my fav zones.
So basically kill a LOT quickly of at least moderate to good xp worth and get the kill shot, i found no trouble in having group mates back off at the last few % of a mobs life for my dagger.

"seems" faster?
Either provide evidence or don't make claims.
Did you do any testing at all to figure this?

I kept one on my rogue, and my bf's beastlord held onto the other until I had mine evolved, then it lost "lore" and I was able to weild the other.
i was in POK and i saw a guy selling a twisted shank. sent him a tell asking how much he said 100k. i offerd him 75K he asked if i could go to 80K. i said would 78K be ok and he said yes. this is a VERY good price on fennin ro. i plan to level this in GE and sell it for 250K-320K. depending on price in bazaar.
I have Lvl'd two of the shanks now to final and for the first 3lvl's I would say Veksar is the easiest place to lvl it for me. I was charming Highborn Commander's and killing everything past the goblins to the shops. After lvl 3 the experience dropped considerably so I started doing The Lost notebook Hard getting 1% xp per kill solo. The last lvl went by alot quiker with both daggers getting 2% per kill. Both daggers took me about a week of killing during off hours. I wish you luck if anyone notices someplace better for a necro let me know.

I decided to equip this item while farming the mushrooms with my 70 necro. I was killing all the light blue mushrooms and all the mobs on beach below there and getting about 6% per round. I think i was getting about 1% per 3 kills.

Some elements :
1- This weapon is evolving faster if you solo than with a full 6 group, so boxing 2 is the best way if you have access to a high level character (70).
2- I am pretty sure that it evolves on both number of kills (light blues or dark blues) and on the level of mobs killed. Modifiers of zones (ZEM) may interfere with the process.
3- The best zones are those with a lot of mobs, a fast repop and low HPs.
4- Whatever you will try, it takes time to evolve, be ready to mass kill mobs for a long time. I guess they are supposed to grow with your character, so that you start low at 60 and it grows with your character. Not a bad idea.
My own experience : box 70 BST 1100AAs CoA gear + 70 BRD wearing this and auto-singing haste/overhaste/regen-manaregen.
I tried many zones, but best are skeletons in SSRA mines (low HPs & very fast repop, all light blues to a 70) and terranis spiders/bubonian rats in Plane of Disease (VERY low HPS & a full cycle in the western caves). The plus are no downtime, with a bonus for PoD with many DB mobs (=AA xp). The ratio is somewhat 10ish kills for 1% evolved in ssra mines, and 5ish kills for the same 1% evolved in POD.

After having read various posts mentioning what may be required to level the blade as well as other evo. and int. items i can't help but wonder... does the blade actually require you to kill a mob to level it, or is it simply the "you have gained experience" hit? And if the latter proves true, has anyone tried doing one of the ez low level item hand in quests such as the gnoll fang quest in South Qeynos to see if the blade gains xp from those hits? I plan to test this perhaps tonight, but would like the input of others who have had experience in leveling these types of items.

If you're on Drinal server and get one of these and wouldn't mind parting with it, I am in the market. Price is negotiable. Send me an ingame mail to SOE.EQ.drinal.Kuber to deal. I look forward to getting a response.

immediately after we killed the mob, three more spawned at the same time dropping another dagger and 2 more cloaks. very cool

Freemind Gatherer seems to spawn between 10pm and 10am game time after killing Gatherers, Sowers, Harvesters, or Shamans. Still haven't gotten the damn dagger, just several cloaks and a belt.

Ok, so I'm a moron, but I have the 3rd and 5th evolutions of this captured in screenshots. I FORGOT to take a SS of the 4th evolution... http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/daenetha/lvl3-BladeofShadow.jpg is the lvl 3, and http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/daenetha/lvl5-BladeofCreepingDoom.jpg is the level 5. I also have the lvl 6, but that info is already up.
And YES, it DOES lose the augment slot. I have a ticket submitted for that right now, requesting the aug slot be put back in. Otherwise, I strongly suggest that people leave it in the 5th evolved form (still a 100-pt lifetap and 36% haste), so that you can augment it however you see fit.

I grabbed one of these blades, and have been working on getting it evolved. From your posting you seem to be having good luck with getting this to increase in level. From your experience what is the best way to get this to level quickly? I have had this equipped for 2 nights, and have only seen about 10% of return for the effort.
Thanks for the help..

Can confirm it drops from a Freemind Gatherer. PH seemed to be sowers, harvesters, and shamans. My group and I killed all the shrooms till this guy popped, but his pop location was in the same spot as the ones listed.

I will confirm that I had this drop today in Undershore, off of "A Freemind Gatherer". You can see it in his right hand, it's a -tiny- spike of metal.
Not sure of gatherer's level, but am guessing was mid-50's. My friend's 70 necro solo'd him in <30 seconds for me. To find him, go to the slave camp along the Eastern edge of the undershore, then a little Southwest you'll see a field where a bunch of mushroom are tooling around. Don't know placeholder for sure, but after we killed the Gatherer I did see A Freemind Sower that I didn't see before. Maybe?
Can't wait to get the evolved form.
