How to Get the Shadow Blade in Vox Seas
You can get the Shadow Blade sword in Vox Seas by defeating the King Werewolf boss on Werewolf’s Island (lvl 25-100). However, keep in mind that the Shadow Blade has a very low drop chance. So, it might take you a while to get it if you are unlucky. Alternatively, you can trade with other players for it. Still, they might want several items in return for the Shadow Blade, as it is very rare.
Best Way to Farm Werewolf King Boss
To farm the King Werewolf boss for the Shadow Blade in Vox Seas efficiently, you will want to server-hop until you find a server where it is already spawned. The Werewolf King is a popular boss that many players farm early on. So, you won’t find it alive on most of the servers you join. However, it is certainly better than waiting 20 minutes for it to respawn on the same server.
If you want to grind some XP while trying to get the Shadow Blade, make sure to accept the King Werewolf quest from the Mark Hunter on the same island. Besides the sword, you can also get some other items from the Werewolf King boss and use them to craft a decent early-game accessory. You can see all of the Werewolf King drops, along with their drop rates, in the table below.
| Drop | Description | Drop rate |
|---|---|---|
 Shadow Blade | • Good sword for both PvE and PvP | Extremely low |
 Wolf Skull | • Used for crafting the Moonfang Plate accessory | Very low |
 Wolf Leather | • Used for crafting the Moonfang Plate accessory | High |
