To be honest wizard101 is one of my favorite games i have played it for a while and it is really interesting.I think like they should add shadow potions like ya know the critical ones aka vengance but they should cost the double amount of vengance so they would cost 1,800 Crowns and if you don't have shadow pips you can buy them for 1 hour because some people have shadow pip spells and don't know what to do with them.The shadow elixir would give 120 shadow pip chance they need to give more love for shadow. The shadow elixir would cost 1,800 Crowns because shadow pips will help low levels a lot and it is very op for low levels.If they add shadow elixir it cannot be used for pvp so it is kinda like the vengance elixir but it isn't fully the same. If they would add that people wouldn't complain about having shadow pip spells and cannot do anything with them and i feel like shadow pip elixir should be given every 2 years of the games birthday.I think there should be boss that gives you the shadow elixir but it is a rare drop like every halloween his name would be ShadowRack he would be a rank 9 but he would be in the commons in the lake so anyone could fight him but it wouldn't be easy he would have 1,000,000 health and he would have cheats like every time he loses 3,000 health he would cast mana burn but there is a way to block it.You would have to have to do 4,000 to block it other than that he casts mana burn so you have to blade constantly or just critical every time and it is Uncommon to get the shadow elixir. If the boss gets a trap on him he gains 500 health and also i forgot to mention the 3rd round of the fight with him he summons 3 of him but with 500,000 so he would summon his self but with half health.I would advise to get like 3 maxes or something to help like 1 Storm,1 life,1 ice that would make it so the ice is the shielder with tower shield storm is the hitter life is the healer.
The problem with the elixir is that it's aimed towards low level players who can't produce shadow pips, but it only works for an hour and from my experience, the most useful shadow enchanced spells are either hard to find in the bazaar, aren't even auctionable, or they have to be traded by higher level wizards to these low level players. And the shadow creature spells (Dark Nova, Shadow Shrike) aren't even treasure cards. So it's not very "noob-friendly" in my opinion. More like maxes who kind of rely on shadow pips and are tired of waiting 7 rounds for it.
Even if it were easy to get a hold of shadow spells at a low level, this boss is so difficult, nobody would want anyone below level 100 in their group. I've been in groups in Darkmoor where people left because some of my team mates didn't have "the right stats". So imagine what would happen if someone came in with Unicorn Way gear. This boss would work better as a gold skeleton key boss hidden in a high level world with these cheats. Not a place where people hang out when they don't feel like questing.
ShadowRack's health can't even be supported by the game's system. There's a reason why Grandfather Spider's health is capped at 99,999, that's actually how high it can go. Speaking of which, it doesn't make sense to make this random boss more powerful than a being that is basically the embodiment of chaos.
If this boss were to be friendly to all players, his health needs to be brought down to maybe Malistare in the last Dragonspyre dungeon and his cheats need to be brought way down. For example, the trap cheat you mentioned and something similar to the Rat where he summons one creature that debuffs you and self destructs after 3 rounds, something that can easily be countered instead of the "you have to specifically hit 4000 hp or else you'll trigger mana burn" cheat.
