The Mimic mob, I have not found yet, but The idea was brilliant of you, as it makes "grinding" less a chore. More mobs like this rare ones scattered through the game would be a good idea. As we all know from playing other games, that once a long quest is finished and you have the reward, the painful camping and time required is forgotten once you have the prize. This Game is pure fun!
One last question, does the gear that increases drop rates, effect the amount of Soul Shards from the zones boss? Thank you for your hard work in putting this wonderful game together.
