Lineage Piece Sung Jin Woo Guide: Player's Dagger to Shadow Monarch
The Boss Everyone Farms
Sung Jin Woo (4.5M HP) spawns every 90 seconds — the most-farmed boss in the game. Table: Cartenon Key 60%, Artifact 50%, System Core 13.5%, Monarch’s Acknowledgment 10%, Sword Technique Book 3%, The Weakest Hunter title 3%, Knight Killer 3.5%, Venom Fang 3.5%, Player’s Outfit 2%.
Player’s Dagger (Legendary)
Sung Jin Woo NPC: 1 Sword Technique Book + 5 System Cores + 1 Venom Fang + 1 Knight Killer + 1M coins & 7.5K gems.
Sung Mastery: deal 200M with the daggers, use dagger skills 400 times, defeat SJW 15 times.
The V2 Escalation (Shadow Monarch)
The Solo Leveling band’s endgame runs through Cartenon Temple (keys are the 60% drop above) and the Shadow Monarch boss (600M HP, Extreme): Demon King’s Daggers 7.5% each, Core of Shadow 3%, Monarch’s Soul 1.2%, Shadow Monarch title 3% — all feeding the nine-quest Shadow Daggers chain and the Monarch race (+27.5% weapon damage).
Related Kits
The Shadow weapon (“I. Am. Atomic.”) and Eminence race are the Eminence-in-Shadow half of this band — farmed in Cid’s Castle. SJW farming is never wasted: keys, artifacts and books flow to every other chain.
