Default Shadowed Men Superstitions and Tricks

Hey folks.. we all do it.. we all roll an alt, farm shadowed men for a solro quest. Strip the alt. Roll another one, farm the shadowed men for a solro quest. repeat, forever....

Whelp I need to ask I have some questions and wonder if anyones done the research?

What are the answers to these questions:

1. Which zone has the MOST shadowed men in one spot? I figure the more there are in one spot, the greater chance you have at RNjesus blessing you with the item you are after.
2. Do locations mater? are there zones that tend to have shadowed men that drop X item more than other zones?

uh.. thats it!

Id like to know the answers to these questions. If there are none, I'll report back.

I still believe Lavastorm has the most. Not scientific, but after stroking my chin a few times... there's definitely more there than in Nektulos and WC (I know, there's other places too)

Pretty sure its an even chance on the item you're looking for... though if you have more shadowed men to farm per cycle, you'll get it faster in Lavastorm (or wherever actually has the most)

WC has always been my go to for shadowy men drops.. I've tried LFay, Nek and Lava too, but I just always seem to get them drops in WC. Plus, its so heavily trafficked that you can just run by and find what you need on corpses sometimes.

You can run back and forth between Nektulos and Lavastorm groups (I think they have the same number, or Nektulos has more, both in the vicinity of 6 or 7). WC only has 4.

I think what drops depends somewhat on which class the shadowed man is.
