From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki

Contents

[edit] 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.

[edit] How to earn Void Shards

[edit] 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.

[edit] Daily Missions

Ragheejb Yasir, a mysterious erudite ( 1734, 451, 867 ) /waypoint 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 1 plat as a reward. (Nicknamed "Daily Double", "DD", "zotd" or "two sharder"). The mission will change once a day at midnight PST (01:00 PDT, 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.:

[edit] 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).

[edit] Solo Mission

With LU51, a solo void shard mission was added. (can be done as a group edited 2009/09/08)

[edit] Mob Drops

With LU51 several nameds drop Void Shards now for a overview see Void Shard

[edit] 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!

[edit] Where to spend Void Shards

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

Void Shards can 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 craft this gear, the crafter must have scribed at least one of the four volumes of the Far Seas Strategic Pricing Manual. Player-crafted void shard equipment costs fewer Void Shards than the merchant-purchased version.
