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 ) 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).
- Commonlands: Squire Hadley
- Everfrost: Chief Scholar Lakewind ( -261, -4, -364 ) in Hollowfrost Grove
- Fens of Nathsar: Lieutenant Kresic ( 110, -66, -267 ) in Omen's Call

- Loping Plains: Tanya Alvernon in Village of Somborn
- Moors of Ykesha (Guk): Vegupa Marrsheart ( 86, -88, -435 ) in Firmroot Moot
- Moors of Ykesha (the Void): NO regular one-shard missions
- Obelisk of Ahkzul (1 will drop from the boss)
- Anchor of Bazzul (2 will drop from the boss)
- The Palace of Ferzhul (3 will drop in the zone, no daily mission)
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 ) 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.
Shards are also used to obtain:
- Tier 3 armor, acquired from Borden Chargehammer on the docks in Lavastorm. You will need a mold from the Ward of Elements, a raid x2 instance and a corresponding piece of tier 2 armor which will be 'upgraded' (see below).
- Fabled raid armor, conferred by Bittee Silvertail at the Dropship Landing Zone ( 1802, 453, 971 ) . You will need a pattern from raid x4 instances plus Void Shards and a few platinum.
- Upgraded jewelry out of Ward of Elements, from Awnya N'Kval on the docks in Lavastorm. You will need the base jewelry piece from WoE and corresponding infused shard jewelry; see below for a listing of what can be upgraded.
