Have Shades give normal xp rates.
Shades (atleast the ones in level 4 Stronghold of Security) are level 159, with 170 health and a max hit of 14. Their only drops is the shade robes, top and bottom. Which are worth around 2k and 1k on the GE (According to 2007.runescape.wikia.***).
All in all, they are already a crappy mob for money making, hill giants is several times better since they can drop much faster. If you are high enough to kill shades at a fair rate, you can probably do dragons... But to top it off, 1 to like 5 or 6 damage gives no shown xp (probably some decimal points) and 16 damage or so give 1 xp (in your attack type) with a chance for 1 hp xp.
From what I've read, the reason why they are like this is because they were a random event spawn (chance on burying bones). However, there are no aggressive random event spawns any more... So why are their xp rates still as if they are a random event spawn?
To summarize the over point. Why are Shade xp rates still acting as a random aggressive event, when they are a normal monster now? It seems pointless and odd; on top of being a poor monster farming choice.
