The Shadowknights  

Heh, all these are good questions about the shadowknights and all, and loots, etc.
First of all, I personally (spending A LOT of time in this fun, low level dungeon) think that the shadowknights are on a random spawn timer with placeholders. The first shadowknight (soloable usually by level 6) has a placeholder that is usually a skeleton of sorts.
The female human SK has over 3 placeholder's I've seen (Willowisp, Necro, Lesser Mummy) and is soloable (without adds mind you) usually by level 12.
The Ogre SK (<<WHOM you SHOULD KILL before falling in the pit traps, etc>>) is, under my observation the shortest spawn time with the most adds. Since adds with him are inevitable, He is not soloable until the 17th level or so. He occasionally drops Barbed Armplates, which are 4wt. 7AC +2Dex. Not so bad for a true newbie zone.
There are 2 more shadowknights, a troll and a female darkelf, both of which spawn on opposite sides of the 3rd level, and are easily taken down if you can avoid the ghoulie adds. The troll occasionally drops A bone bladed Claymore (A HORRIBLE 2HS weapon) and the female Darkelf sometimes drops the Barbed Legplates, if you're out for some matching Befallen armor =-)

I hope this helps some

How often does it take for DE SK to spawn?

The ogre sk cons green to my lvl 22pally he is on the second floor.

If you kill the shadowknight, be sure to loot his corpse, for most of the time he will drop a wooden key that can be used to open the locked door in the main hallway. But beware, if you are stuck on the other side of the door and the person who holds the key is dead, you are going to have to find some way out of there, and FAST! Or you are going to have to be killed because the locked door relocks itself when it closes, so you need the key to get in, and GET OUT.

Does anyone know if there is still a Troll SK that drops the Bone Bladed Claymore in here? I recently started playing again after a long (3 year) rest and I know that one of these guys used to drop it. Things have changed though and its possible that the SK who dropped it isnt in there anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

i need help plz some1 im a low-level high elf magican in greater faydark in tallon zek we can me on there so email me travisb@cfu.net

Ok first off stats do matter. I would not fight with a 50 warrior with no armor or leather armor. he would get raped by whatever we were fighting. Second. You are a moron. you have nothing better to do than go into a chat and make fun of people for not being perfect. We all make mistakes, and no one cares that he said fraction, no one is going to start crying cause they dont know what hes talking about. And did it occur to you that maybe he made a typo TWICE. have you ever actually looked at a keyboard? the f and r are right next to each other. You are a moron and have lost your speaking priveleges. That is all.

WHEN FIGHTING IN BEFALLEN DO YOU GET BAD FACTIONS WQITH THE INDIGO BROTHERS IN NERIAK

oops i forgot i am teddie please send me tell

The M,DE,SK has the wood key, is around 8 or so, doesn't cast, but has harm touch, is easy.

the F,Hum,SK has bone key, sometimes ring, rawhide, casts, harms for 100 or so.

the M,Ogre,SK has glass key, sometimes bone arms, casts, harms for 130

All I know. Also, the glass key dropped by the ogre is NO RENT, be careful when you get stuck, but the SKs in the basement drop all 3 keys, and some nice (read: Not more than 50pp total) loot, great for the level when you still get exp from them. Also, be careful, and always get a map before you go into a dungeon

I have created a veriaty of shadow knights including Ogre, Human, Troll, and Dark Elf, haven't tryed Iksar yet. In my opinion the Dark Elves easily make the best Shadow Knights because of their higher mana and less frizzle %. Trolls and Ogres are great for melee but they rather suck when it comes to the spell casting, just thought I would share. Also humans are good for their faction and balance of stats. =)
