The level 10 abiltiy is a shapechange (shade form) that gives you a
chance to proc a 200 point ablative. I was grouped with a Cleric while
shapchanged and when he cast his Heal Proc buff, it poped me out of
shade form. I did notice when I had the heal proc on first and changed
to shade I get a message saying “you already have a defensive spell
affect!”. And sure enough, when fighting the ablative never went off. Dec 15

To use the Level 10 ability:

the /use2. Goes of every time. The first ability is used in normal
fashion on the qbar. Dec 24

Strategy:
Location: The cloak is loacted North of the entrance of
Typhon's Reach Nov 18 - Gaavsti
Shades of Mist encounter doesnt need to be done with a 2fgs or
even a fg. need primary healer, endurance, a couple tanks... ae would
be nice... but we didnt have.
Strategy. One person runs in takes the cloak off while everyone
else stays outside the ring. Let that person die and then pull one of
the sphinxes. rez that person.
after sphinx 1 is killed the other 2 sphinxes will attack the
person who got the cloak, let them die and pull one after that. rez the
person. then kill last sphinx. easy
Thing to remember is the sphinxes will all aggro on whomever has the cloak. so let them die then pull. Dec 16

If the statue is up the
encounter is. Right click the statue and remove its cloak which is
powering the sphinx's (making them uber!). All three will charge you,
they are simple, they try and grab for the cloak but when you kill the
one that got it you get it again. Anyway, if one sphinx is engaged most
will attack a couple poeple then walk away so you can fight them 1 at a
time if you want. After all 3 are dead you get a message saying the
magic on the cloak is broken. Walk out of the circle and it turns into
Shades of Mist.
This is located in hte most NW region of Typhon before the first
briges, cant miss it. Nov 18

Ok if you pull the sphinx's before talking to the statute they hit
like a truck for about 800 damage a pop, but if you get the cloak they
hit for alot less and take damage fast. Nov 18

Tips:
It's not possible to leave the arena with the cloak without killing the
Greater Criosphinxes, I've tried -everything-. You need a good solid
group to kill them. Once you have have beaten them and leave the arena,
the Long Black Cloak will transform to the Shades of Mist.

We found an artifact called Shades of Mist out in Typhon's
Reach. I can't find the paper where i wrote the loc down. This is what
I can say though:
3 Sphinxes protect a neutral statue surrounded by a magical barrier.
The moment you talk to the statue, the barrier is broken and the
sphinxes come to life. They all attack at the same time and cannot be
pulled. You need a good 2fg or so with a decent amount of healing power.
We did it with 1.5fg (3 healers, 2 shamans, 2 hunters, warrior, savage,
skald, and a beserker). Takes about 10-15minutes and if someone dies a
snake spawns out of the body.

you can pull the sphinxs one at a time from outside the circle. It
makes this one a very easy encounter with a good solid
group. 11/10

Drops:
The sphinxes drop TONS of 1H slashers/thrusters/maces. The thrusters
have the whole polearm effect, and they're pretty neat since they're 4.4
speed (my guildmaster loves them on his thrust merc). They're ROG and
only one or two of the ones that drop will be MP, but over 10 weapons
WILL drop, and it's doable with one group. Nov 18
