Shadowknight Leveling Guide

From SoDWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search


This is an attempt to make a guide for my first and easily favorite class on SoD - the Shadowknight.
The Shadowknight is a very powerful ally for any group (great for tanking and holding aggro/hate/taunt).

This guide will be completed part by part, starting with level 49, and working its way forward until I have the time to run back and create a new Shadowknight to complete the guide with. Until then, let this guide service as an idea or what to steer towards (or away if you disagree) in a Shadowknight - I've done my best to play around with all aspects of leveling: Questing/Class Questing/Main Quest, Tradeskilling, Group Leveling and Solo leveling.

Goodluck all, hopefully this can be put to some use. - Kromdor

Levels

Right here (and every following "section") will list what I did to get from beginning to end of each level, if you have things to fill in for leveling please contribute!

Level 47-49

  • At this point I had gotten assistance with my Barbute of Corruption part of the Shadowknight Thurgadin Quests, my fellow SK and I had a 60something Wiz assist us in order to make the task of collecting the pieces for these quests a breeze. You will want the Barbute of Corruption when you turn level 49 - it will make a bit of a difference in the strength of your newfound lifetap!

With a group of 4 (47Sk,53Sk,51Rog,53Enc) and assistance from a 63 cleric (for the Aego) we each pulled 2 levels or 2AA's in an okay amount of time, gaining 2.5k experience per a hungering shadow.

Level 49-50


  • I spot A guardian wraith a Loc 462, 452 which is in the middle of the rectangular Northern Waste of Tarhyl, my strategy is as follows:
    • 01: Aggro him with a 450+ Dmg Life Leech
    • 02: Cast: Spear of Pain
    • 03: Lure Him Away.
    • 04: Cast: Dooming Darkness
    • 05: Cast: Spook The Dead
    • 06: Take a few steps back to reduce the risk of breaking Fear.
    • 07: Repeat with Life Leech while he is Fear/Snared, if you're quick enough you can do 2 Spell: Life Leech's
    • 08: When he's at his last 10-20% just melee, use Disarm and Spell: Lifedraw to prevent hugelosses.
      • Each kill yields 4.1k-4.6k Exp (3-4%), 2-7 plat, and leaves me with just enough mana (10-15%) to Spell: Feign Death (cast cost: 5%)if it gets heated.



  • corrupted desert orc champion
    • don't bother, I ran out of mana before he was at 60%life, you'll need some assitance with these guys at this level.
