When diving into Vox Seas, many players opt for a sword build to kick off their adventure. The early game’s ideal sword is the Shadow Blade, especially until you reach the Skypiea Lower Island (level 400) for Dual Blades. This guide will walk you through how to obtain the Shadow Blade sword in Vox Seas, streamlining your initial grind.
How to Get the Shadow Blade in Vox Seas
You can score the Shadow Blade sword in Vox Seas by defeating the King Werewolf boss on Werewolf’s Island (level 25-100). Keep in mind that the Shadow Blade has a very low drop chance. So it may take some persistence to get it. Alternatively, you can trade with other players, though they might demand several items in exchange for this rare find.
Best Way to Farm the Werewolf King Boss
To effectively farm the King Werewolf boss for the Shadow Blade in Vox Seas, server-hopping is key. Look for servers where the boss has already spawned. Since the Werewolf King is a popular target, most servers will already be devoid of him. This method beats waiting approximately 20 minutes for a single server respawn.
If you’re looking to earn some XP while pursuing the Shadow Blade, accept the King Werewolf quest from Mark Hunter on the same island. Besides the sword, defeating the Werewolf King yields other valuable items you can use to craft useful early-game accessories. You can view all drops and their probabilities in the table below.
| Drop | Description | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
 Shadow Blade
|
• A solid sword for both PvE and PvP | Extremely low |
 Wolf Skull

• Used for crafting the Moonfang Plate accessory | Very low |
 Wolf Leather
|
• Used for crafting the Moonfang Plate accessory | High |
