Talk:Azure Shadow

I noticed a weird thing one day after dying during the Iron Mines mission. The Azure Shadows which killed me had foci in their hands. A few days later I also noticed another monstertype doing this, but I can't remember which. I'll ask Kalomeli if she remembers. Not every Azure had one, only some. I don't knowif they drop the item which they carry or if they get a bonus for it. The drop part is easy to check, but the bonus thing isn't. Any comments?




 * Some monsters will carry items visible to you. I have seen many do this, most recently had an Inferno Imp carry a visible Tower Shield. Suprise, it dropped a Tower Shield. Funny, the Tower Shield was almost as big as the imp. --Gares Redstorm 08:14, 10 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Now we need to find out which monsters do this and with which items. I have only seen these Azures have the foci and then the second one (remembered it now) Ice Golems wielding something. Ofcourse there are the monsters like the Caromi Tengus who have swords and shields of varying types, but don't drop them. --Gem [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 10:31, 10 April 2006 (CDT)


 * I think there is always a chance if a monster is weilding an item, that item can drop as loot. Take an example I had in Grenth's Footprint. Was getting hit by a Stone Summit Ranger with a Vampiric 3/1 bow. He was killed and there it was, a Gold Unid Recurve Bow. I ID'd it and it had a Vampiric 3/1 bow string.


 * I've also noticed that the same type of monsters carry different types of weapons. For example, 2 Charr Blade Storms, one carrying a Crimson Carapace Shield, the other Skull Shield. Just some observations I have made regarding this issue. --Gares Redstorm 12:04, 10 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Smite Crawlers often carry protective icons and other foci. Looks rather weird. Like they accidentally pinned their legs into something and now can't get rid of it. :) --84-175 (talk) 12:28, 10 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Sorrow's Furnace golems carry scrolls and flame artifacts and whatnot Skuld  12:42, 10 April 2006 (CDT)

lore input
On wintersday, it was revealed that the azure shadows serve Grenth. it's worth an addition methinks. --User:Aptaleon Griefhaven

Lower case shadows


When did this happen? &mdash; Skuld 06:38, 3 September 2006 (CDT)
 * It's been like that for months. --Xiu Kuro 11:23, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Surely not that long? Only a couple of months ago I was fighting Azure Shadows &mdash; Skuld 11:25, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
 * This can't have been in the game for too long. Seems to be a mistake, not an intentional change. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:28, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Farming
So, my necro can't get there, but anybody think about spirit-bond farming these guys? SoJ only does 59 damage, yeah, but necrotic armor could totally up that to enough, right?. --Crazytreeboy 01:15, 10 October 2006 (CDT) (that freaking bug where you appear logged in but aren't. Argh.)
