			== Versioned-zone note ==

			Some normal and upside-down versions share the same underlying zone for evolution credit. If the zone is listed above and the kill gives experience, it can count for the active tier even when the guide route uses a special version of that zone. Temple of Veeshan and Temple of Veeshan Upside Down are the clearest example.

== Blighted Gear Evolution Guide ==

Blighted Shadowsbane armor begins in Crushbone and evolves through six stages. Each armor slot evolves separately, so a bracer, helm, chest, boots, and the other pieces each track their own progress.

The armor uses kill credit by zone. If a zone is listed for your current armor stage, kills in that zone can advance that piece toward its next form.

== Where the armor starts ==

The first-stage Blighted Shadowsbane pieces drop in Crushbone from the custom `#` named bosses.

{| class="wikitable"
! Piece !! Item ID !! Drop source !! Drop chance
|-
| Blighted Shadowsbane Bracer || 43649 || Crushbone `#` bosses || 25%
|-
| Blighted Shadowsbane Gauntlet || 43673 || Crushbone `#` bosses || 20%
|-
| Blighted Shadowsbane Vambraces || 43677 || Crushbone `#` bosses || 20%
|-
| Blighted Shadowsbane Leggings || 43678 || Crushbone `#` bosses || 15%

Crushbone bosses that can drop most pieces include `#orc_trainer`, `#Lord_Darish`, `#orc_taskmaster`, `#orc_warlord`, `#The_Prophet`, `#Emperor_Crush`, and `#Ambassador_DVinn`.

|}

== Notes ==

* Ssraeshza Temple counts for Level 4 to Level 5, but not for Level 5 to Level 6.
* The final Level 6 row has no further required kill amount.
* Because each slot evolves separately, a full set takes the same progression on every piece.
