I am a level 61 rogue and I have a full set of Shadow gear. I dont know whether to keep it or upgrade to deceivers. The Shadow gear has better stats and the Deceiver gear only has a few extra ac. Can anyone help me out?
If you have a full set of Shadow armor your probably very close to the rogue AC cap, if you haven't passed it already. I wouldn't waste the time/money in order to get Deceivers since you'll lose HP and resists and won't really gain anything in terms of damage mitigation.
You need ally to Claws of Veeshan in order to complete any of the shyshrine armour quests, you can improve CoV faction in several ways. Hunting giants in Great Divide, hunting giants in Kael Drakkel, or turning giant warrior helms or frost giant toes from Kael Drakkel into Sentry Kcor and Sentry Enots in skyshrine itself (you must be indifferent or better to hand in the helms and toes), Enots and Kcor are located at the gate to Skyshrine on the Wakening Lands side of the zone.
Flawless Diamonds can be found of mobs in Icewell Keep and Dragon Necropolis, but the best place to get them is Siren Grotto, because you can do single xp groups there.
Good luck to any rogue who goes after this BP, all I need is the gems for mine 8) The 90 point clicky heal is going to be oh so handy in down time.
The armor drops in Kael are for the Thurgadin quest armors (Brigands Armor for us Rogues).
The Kael armor (Deceiver's Armor for us Rogues) drops (for are located near the entrance of Veeshan's Temple (ToV), and the Skyshrine armor (Shadow Armor) drops are located inside the Testing Grounds in ToV.
Gems drop all over the place, "Suits" in Wakening, rate in Necropolis, terrors under Icewell, and some of the dwarves in Icewell(I hear).
This is a result of a quest? WOW somebody actually realized that there are people who do like to do some quests occasionally instead of just constantly slaughtering mobs =) See you in Norrath, and level fast my comrades.
