Shadow pips are based off of a percentage, if you use all of your normal pips it doesn't increase or decrease your chances of getting a shadow pip, it may of been a coincidence that you got the shadow pip after spending your normal pips, but there's no correlation between shadow and normal pips.

You want to test what you just said. Also test what I said in my post.

After strenuous testing, I believe you are experiencing a phenomenon known as "confirmation bias". Unfortunately, KingsIsle cannot assist you with that particular problem.

Anyone can lie or tell the truth on these threads. Freedom of speech.

That was awfully rude to Galen.

If you want a response from KI Staff, send an e-mail to them. You'll have a way better chance there since you seem against the idea of believing any claims from your fellow wizard community.

They're just trying to help.

Hope to see you all in the Spiral!

He's not trolling, he's simply saying that he tested it and it doesn't happen, and confirmation bias is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms with their beliefs, or ideas.

Shadow pips are based on a percentage basis. Using specific gear and increase that percentage.

Each test can offer different results on this topic.

Wolf AngleRider, 22 982
Justin AngleRider 22 900
Sierra AngleRider 30 1030
Elijah AngleRider 13 628

Some what they are but try this out with nothing to boost your shadow pips like shadow pip bonus you can still get a shadow pip anyways It happened to me when I was helping allot of people using that thing next to the bazaar.
