This has made me wonder for awhile but with the advent of a lot of new content I've been wondering if there has been any discussion on revising the older VNMs outside of Abyessa.

The whole concept of hoping you will see a mob's shadow and thus get a title much less drops I think should be considered something that is way overdue for a change. My linkshell on a whim decided to burn thru all our old abyssites since they were only really used for trial weapons and it was a bit bothersome that the only mob we found with a shadow was Orcus.

Suffice to say a VIT+6 Enmity+2 Ring isn't as awesome as it used to be but, I'd love to go after that MAB Ring or STR Ring without wasting pops on mobs that don't have shadows under them.

It's minor and not really awesome at this time but I'd like to at least see these mobs be more viable to spend time with vs holding onto T3s just so people won't convert their T2 pops.

Or even better yet, Is there a pattern to finding which VNMs will spawn with Shadows and those that don't?
