Ok so after a combined 13 hours of killing lizards in the top left circle and zombies, ss has yet to drop. Is there a better place?

There is a reason it can go for 50k
. But I personally always found it on the mobs through the waterfall on the way to herald of coppinger.

Giant sewer crawlers also,
It's one of those drops you can get on first kill or 1000th all about luck and dropping right time

Shadow strike drops 5x less frequently than other books. On average you will get 30 other books for each shadow strike. On average it takes about 50 4* kills per book. So after killing 1500 4* mobs you have a 70% chance of at least one book. I've farmed about 60 shadow tomes so far so I'm pretty confident of these numbers. On my world im 3 of the top 5 rogue 4s kills mostly from just this farming.
You can farm for minutes or weeks depending on your luck. I actually make more money on the mini boss gold drops and gold from mobs than shadow tomes or rings when I farm.
Honestly you are better off paying 50k if you can it's easier to farm that than a book.

From my knowledge any 4* mob in sewers has a chance to drop shadowstrike books. I'm not sure if any are better to farm but just gotta get lucky

It's any mob over level 60 I'm fairly sure. Excluding the met quest bosses, their adds, raid bosses and their adds. I'm not certain but I suspect the mini bosses have a better drop rate. 1* do drop it but at a much lower rate than 4s.

Did you try Hawkhurst ?
They drop 2k worth chests too, so you wouldn't totally waste your time.

He is not farming SS to sell it. He needs the skill.

Whoa back off he was saying that the farming isn't totally worthless and he can get heavy gold too
