Slim Shadow Veill drop is Broken.
Ok, before I get roasted read what I have to say.
Total runs so far: 7200. Yes that is 7,200 not a typo, Started keeping a text file with a counter.
Number of Rares Dropped So far:
Statue #1 - ITEM ID 0x139C: 6
Statue #2 - Item ID 0x139B: 3
Statue #3 - ITEM ID 0x139A: 5
Statue #4 - Item ID 0x139D: 2
Slim The fence little black book 0xFBE: 20
Expired Voucher for a free drink 0x14ED: 20
Cruelty Drops: These are Mempo that have dropped but are not the Slims Shadow Veil.
Plate Mail Mempo - Item ID 0x2779: 13
Leather Mempo - Item ID 0x277A: 2
Studded Mempo - Item ID 0x279D: 6
Now to why I believe this drop is broken:
I have never seen a real Slim Shadow Veil, but from all the research I have done, the last confirmed post of one dropping is in 2016.
The Item ID for Slim Shadow Veil corresponds to the Item ID of the Studded Mempo Should Artifacts share the same ITEM ID? This is an actual question, I would think that since it is a rare with its own name it should have some sort of unique ID.
I am at about 7200 runs so far, and know if a few others that have are actively trying to get one of these that combined between all of us must have close or more than 20k runs in the last month.
Can we have @Kyronix please check with the developers that the loot table for this quest is correct and a typo from a late night has maybe not made this item impossible to get.
Thank You
I have screenshots of all I listed here if you need to confirm

Or someone that plays a lot more than you do. Jealous?
In my opinion putting such a rare drop item in the game is just screaming for scripters, if it's being scripted. And the devs acts like usual mysterious and not giving us any number on drop rate im so tired of that bs***. Mysterious fragments mysterious this, and that.
What item are you talking about? I have never heard of "Shadow Vail" and can't find anything on my go to web sites.

I would love to see some data, or hear certain actions are required before spending time grinding this! 5x20 orders? Have to kill spawn? Have to spend more than whatever time, or travel so far?
30 per hour takes 240 hours
if we assume 30 days in a month, that's an average of 8-24 hours per day, for 30 days straight, as implied by the original poster. add in sleep, and a full time job, these numbers are impossible to obtain manually...
There are players that put in 8 to 10 hours a day on UO. I work and play 6 to 8 a day easily. Weekends can be more than 12 on Sat. I sleep 6 hours a night unless I play for an extra hour.
I am still unsure of your presence here, sorry.
Centu OP want it for himself for his template, again you are wrong, he's not going to sell for fast cash, anyway by the time we speak he probly gave up on it, because it seems broken.
Now only if @Bleak or one of the Devs can give us a few minutes of their time.
Bad example you can tame 300 Cu per day for a Month and get a Blaze. We have had 4 in the last year spawn on LS. They tame, rename, release. Repeat. I could not do this. But I talk to the ones that do and I have a nice selection of other color Cus. Clearly few do this. The ones that did this on LS dont play any more. Prob burned out.
Someone gave me 60k sand they mined in 3 days. Another thing I would not do.
You sound like a teenager that only knows their tiny world and says everybody does _____. Cause thats all they experience from their friends.
My point is, there's certain items that the devs have deemed extremely rare, and have seen posts previously stating that the drop rate for slim's shadow veil is lower than that of a blaze cu, so the fact that she hasn't gotten one in an entire month isn't to the point that needs dev intervention.
Remember, RNG doesn't mean that 1/10,000 rarity guarantees you'll get 1 in 10,000
