# Shadow Hunt
*The First Shadow has remembered your account.*
**Shadow Hunt** is an account-wide system for obtaining advanced Shadow Equipment from eligible MVP kills.
After unlocking the system, each eligible kill can award a **Sealed Shadow Remnant**, which can be opened at the **Shadow Reliquary**.
{% hint style="info" %}
You choose the reward category, but not the exact item.
The final Shadow Equipment piece is selected randomly from the chosen pool.
{% endhint %}
***
## Unlocking Shadow Hunt
Shadow Hunt unlocks permanently after completing:
> **The First Shadow**
The unlock and all related progress are shared by every character on the account.
Accounts that completed the quest before Shadow Hunt was added are recognized automatically.
***
## Shadow Reliquary
### Location
> `new_1-2 (128, 92)`
### Menu
* `Open a Sealed Shadow Remnant`
* `View Shadow Hunt status`
* `View eligible MVPs`
* `Claim pending Remnants`
* `Leave`
The status page displays total eligible kills, Remnants found, Remnants opened and current pity progress.
***
## Sealed Shadow Remnant
| Property | Value |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Item ID** | 32010 |
| **Name** | Sealed Shadow Remnant |
| **Base Chance** | 0.50% per eligible kill |
| **Pity Guarantee** | 200 eligible kills |
| **Reward Binding** | Account Bound |
Every eligible kill:
* Increases the total kill counter.
* Increases the pity counter.
* Performs one 0.50% Remnant roll.
* Triggers a guaranteed Remnant when pity reaches 200.
Receiving a Remnant resets the pity counter.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the character credited by the kill event receives the Shadow Hunt roll.
A party does not receive one roll per member.
{% endhint %}
***
## Eligible MVPs
| MVP ID | MVP |
| -----: | ---------------- |
| 1086 | Golden Thief Bug |
| 1115 | Eddga |
| 1150 | Moonlight Flower |
| 1039 | Baphomet |
| 1159 | Phreeoni |
| 1112 | Drake |
| 1583 | Tao Gunka |
Other monsters, Mini Bosses and unlisted MVPs do not advance the system.
***
## Opening a Remnant
At the Shadow Reliquary, select one of the following:
* `Seek a Physical Shadow`
* `Seek a Magical Shadow`
* `Trust the Shadow`
* `Keep the Remnant sealed`
The Remnant is consumed only after selecting:
> `Break the seal`
When the reward cannot be created or the inventory cannot hold it, the Remnant is not consumed.
***
## Physical Shadow Pool
| Reward |
| -------------------------- |
| Physical Shadow Weapon |
| Champion Shadow Shoes |
| Hard Shadow Armor |
| Ancient Shadow Armor |
| Critical Shadow Armor |
| Kingbird Shadow Weapon |
| Critical Hit Shadow Weapon |
| Physical Shadow Shoes |
| Physical Shadow Shield |
| Physical Shadow Armor |
Each item has an equal **10%** chance within this pool.
***
## Magical Shadow Pool
| Reward |
| --------------------- |
| Magical Shadow Weapon |
| Healing Shadow Weapon |
| Magical Shadow Shoes |
| Magical Shadow Shield |
| Magical Shadow Armor |
Each item has an equal **20%** chance within this pool.
***
## Trust the Shadow
`Trust the Shadow` combines every Physical and Magical reward into one pool of 15 items.
Each item has an equal chance of approximately:
> **6.67%**
This path offers the widest variety but no control over whether the reward is Physical or Magical.
***
## Reward Rules
* Rewards are Account Bound.
* Duplicate items are possible.
* There is no owned-item protection.
* The Beginner's Shadow Set is excluded.
* Remnants are consumed one at a time.
* The exact item cannot be selected manually.
The excluded Beginner set uses Item IDs:
> `24387–24392`
***
## Pending Remnants
When the inventory cannot receive a newly obtained Remnant, it is stored as a pending account reward.
Use:
> `Claim pending Remnants`
The Reliquary attempts to deliver all pending Remnants together. Make enough inventory room before claiming them.
***
