Overview[]

Void shards are a new reward system introduced with the launch of The Shadow Odyssey. They are given as rewards to various missions, and are also found in The Shadow Odyssey instances.


How to Earn Void Shards[]

Requirement[]

  • Level 75 needed to get a Normal mission and Level 79 needed to get a Daily mission
  • You can't have 2 Daily missions, one from yesterday one from today (currently you can have more than 1 active daily mission. You must visit the NPC to get the quest, cannot get more than one using quest sharing)
  • You can't have 2 Normal missions for the same zone
    • a normal mission and a daily mission for the same zone works of course
  • It's possible to share missions
    • if the above listed requirements are fulfilled and if the mission doesn't need Nu'roga.


Daily 'Double' Missions[]

Ragheejb Yasir, a mysterious erudite ( 1734, 451, 867 ) Copy in the Dropship Landing Zone in Moors of Ykesha offers a daily mission for a TSO instance and gives 2 Void Shards and at least 1p as a reward. (Nicknamed the "Daily Double", "DD", "zotd" or "two sharder"). The mission will change once a day at midnight PST (01:00 PDT, 03:00 CDT, 04:00 EDT, 08:00 GMT or 09:00 CET).

The missions currently follow this sequence. After the last mission, it will start over from the beginning, beginning with the first one on the list.

Missions[]

Outside (or near) each instance is an NPC who will offer a mission to each of the three instances in that zone. These missions give 1 Void Shard as their reward. The mission will change once a day at midnight PST (8 a.m. GMT).

Solo Mission[]

With LU51, a soloable void shard mission was added (though it can be done with a group) available from Marathan Allim at the Shrine of Thunder ( -151, -117, 630 ) every 18 hours.

Mob Drops[]

Introduced by LU51, several heroic and epic Named Mobs now drop Void Shards. For an overview of these monsters, see the Void Shard page.


Chest Rewards[]

Most of the group instances introduced with The Shadow Odyssey have a locked chest that contain 1 Void Shard for each member of the group. Somewhere within the instance there is a key, which can drop from a trash mob. For each instance the name of the mob that drops the key is the same, and is slightly different from the names of all the other mobs in the instance. Track is your friend!


Spending Void Shards[]

In the Dropship Landing Zone of the Moors of Ykesha are a group of merchants, all called mysterious Quellthulians, located at ( 1680, 452, 893 ) Copy where you can buy armor, jewelry and other miscellaneous items in exchange for your Void Shards.

Void Shards can alternatively be used as fuel by player crafters through the Commission System to make much of the same gear that the void shard merchants sell. To create these items, the crafter must have scribed at least one of the four volumes of the Far Seas Strategic Pricing Manual. Player-crafted void shard armor and jewelry require fewer Void Shards to craft than their merchant-purchased versions.
