Description

Headwear of the Decaying Shadow. Can be used for the Ascension of Imaginary characters.

Lore

Accessory left behind by the shadow of a past Guardian, telling tales of the city of Everwinter. "Alina the Loving — her kindness as lofty as the sky and her compassion as brilliant as gold."

Farm it smart

A BOSS material. The biggest pain: weekly bosses cap rewards per week, so this is often the BOTTLENECK that traps a character at the 70→80 ascension. Only fight the boss dropping mats for the character you are ACTUALLY building — do not spread thin.
