How to farm shadow 3 gear ?

[テレサ]

Hey, i need thrice forged shadow soul. But i cant go in U6 because my lvl is too low. I have nearly 400 magic find and farm U5 for weeks without a shadow 3 item. So guys iam asking you, how to get my thrice forged shadow soul ? (without buying them)

You have to upgrade a Shadow Level 2 item into a Shadow Level 3. Which requires 2 Twice-Forged souls.

Yes, upgrade Shadow 1 to Shadow 2, upgrade Shadow 2 to Shadow 3, etc., and so forth. A bit tedious, admittedly.

That's not what he's asking for, guys. He's asking how to get them in drop-form. Yes, you can upgrade him but he probably knows that. To get Shadow 3 Gear, the only way I've seen people get it is from Shadow Arenas (Now Shadow Towers).. Hope that helped you. I've only gotten Shadow 1~2s from drops.

You get them as random drops just like anything else, but unless you're in U6, which you mentioned you can't go to, you won't get them frequently enough to be worth farming, if it's even possible for them to drop there at all. You are much better off just forging an S2 up to an S3.

Up to Shadow 2s can drop naturally, without magic find, in Uber 5. When magic find procs it will up the rarity of the item that would normally have dropped. So, to get a S3 from U5, you'll need to get a natural S2 drop at the same time as getting your magic find stat to proc.
