    I have been camping the Twisted Shank over the last few months, http://eq.magelo.com/item/86940 and now have 4. The only downside is that it takes such a long time to evolve into this http://eq.magelo.com/item/86945

    I currently have 2 fully evolved at level 6, and additional ones at level 1 and 3 but its slow going. Does anyone know if it is based on amount of experience gained, or number of monsters killed? Would I be better off killing evens/dark blues slower, or mowing down trivial but still (barely) light blue cons?

    Also, I heard something about it evolves faster if it actually gets the killing blow (Not sure how that would work with non-weapon items). This would affect whether I put the level 1 shank in primary or secondary.

    Is there any cold-hard fact that someone could link to please?

    It varies a little by evolving items, but most of the original ones were better to get lots of kill XP messages then high level mob kills.

    Same for the new ones. Lots of weak blue/cyan mobs that give crappy real exp, but can be killed quickly and easily are by far the best way to level items.
