Shadowshard Fragment (10)

Description

I've recently begun testing various crystals and their arcane properties. Lady Proudmoore has given me leave to ask travelers heading into Desolace to seek out a place called Maraudon. Within the ruined temple are great elementals composed of purplish stones I've named shadowshards.

If you decide to head that direction and find some of the crystals, I would be very thankful. I could even fashion you a trinket from them if you so desired.

I killed 10 of them and got all 10 Shadowshard fragments. Excellent drop rate.

The droprate is 100% when you have the quest.
Each drop can be picked up by the entire party, you don't need to kill 10 per party member.

As of patch 2.3 you gain 7200 experience when turning quest this in.
As of patch 2.3 you gain 500 reputation with Stormwind when turning this quest in.

I didn't get around to do doing this quest untill I was 53-54.&nbsp I had been trying to do it since level 46 or so.&nbsp Each time I would go, I would either get invited to run Mara and not finish it or I would get ganked by 60 hordies repeatedly to the point that I would give up and try later. Finally, I decided one day that I would run through and do it and I wasn't leaving until I finished it.&nbsp It took me about 3 hours but I finally finished it.&nbsp I was ganked 4 times and died once when I aggroed 3 of em.&nbsp The crazy thing about this quest is that these guys are only 41-42 elites, and so at level 54 you get no xp's for killing them, but they are harder to kill than most normal 54 mobs...at least for me they were.&nbsp After I finished the quest, I traveled to Theramore and turned it in for a whopping 350 xp's...unbelieveable for the amount of time and energy that went into finishing it.&nbsp I could have gotten more experience for killing a level 48 scorpion or something.&nbsp My point is that if you are over level 50 dont bother with it..it is a complete waste of time.&nbsp I would only do it if you are going there to run the instance anyway.

He actually moves around as part of the Missing Diplomat quest.&nbsp Thus, he may not always be in Theramore (though usually is) and may occassionaly be in the tower.

well i dont know bout u all but i just found him in the main tower INSIDE Theramore Isle on the top floor. I got a crap 700xp at lvl 51. The only way u get the shards is by killing the Shadowshard Elementals (i think thats their name) outside the instance but inside mauradon...they are around where the snake looking things are.

His placement depends on another quest. The Missing Diplomat.&nbsp if someone with that quest is in the area he is usually in the senty towers if not he is at the tower.

Gud comment...... makes sense to kill only one thing for about the same amount of XP as you get for this quest not to forget maybe 1hr+ spent on completing it....... if your not worried about the time and XP doin it.......enjoy but i dont think its worth it at all! (49lvl Mage)

These things have powerful knockbacks and if you're not careful you might end up in the midst of other mobs. For hunters who want to solo this (did it at 51), always have your back close to the wall and away from other patrols/mobs in case it losses aggro from your pet and goes for you.

Well I think only the Smashers knock you back, the Rumblers don't so try and grind them, especially if your a priest or other casting class, since their knockbacks interrupt your casts. Watch out for pat too, even as a lvl 50 shaman one smasher was annoying since I had to heal way in advance if need be.

For the alliance this guy is on the isle, he is NOT in the swamp. 66,49 is the coords when I'm standing right on him. For some reason he didn't have a ! above his head even though he had the quest for mauradon that is green for me. Anyways, he's in the tower and not in the castle where the first aid trainer is, and he's not in the swamp =)

easy enough, lvl 45 mage and a lvl 46 hunter, took 30mins, dropped from every one, and it seems everyone in the party can loot a drop, so ten elementals later we were done.

You get this quest for the mage in the big tower in the middle of Thermare.

The shards drop of stone elementals at the purple side inside maraudon (Not inside the instance, but in the purple part before it). Each elemental will drop 1 of these shards.

Note. If you fight them solo be carefull. They can bash you around and there are many bridge so you might fall down and pull agro of many many more.

Note 2. Some of them wander around becarefull, if you get agro be sure to know the entrance of the instance :)
