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.
