Similar to collectiong pieces of Atiesh / Val'Anyr, except that this quest line is much longer than only this, and much more fun than just farming.

Comentario de Iruxos

I think the shadowfrost crystals are quest items that only people doing The Splintered Throne can loot from the bosses inside the 25man ICC.

Comentario de foxbuster

Oh wait. Another splinter farming quest? Must be for a legendary weapon.
Blizzard can't do anything different? I'm starting to ponder that originality ended at TBC IMO.

BTW: If Arthas wrecked the throne, shouldn't the pieces lie nearby the final floor of the instance? Or they have a idclip command to waltz through the floor?

This is the first time though that you have a quest beforehand to collect shards, instead of the other way around where shards drop and you must form an object to start the quest to obtain a legendary. The latter (for the atiesh and val'anyr) forced you to choose someone to collect the shards.

Since this is a quest, will shards only drop if someone in the raid has the quest? Since its a quest, can multiple people loot the quest item when it drops off a boss? Typically it would seem like you could, but since it's a legendary it doesn't make much sense that basically every paladin/dk/warrior in your guild will get it at the exact same time.

Comentario de Elfhippie

Is it just me or are the shards not BoP

Comentario de Ifridge

They're quest items, they can't be traded to begin with.

Comentario de unckle

The text is quite clear - "held only by the Lich King's most powerful servants" - so the item will drop from every boss in ICC , totaling 11 Shadowfrost Shards ( 13 if each of the 3 princes drop one )

A hardcore guild will have to give at least 5 weeks for each of their members who are on the quest ( considering full clearing of ICC each week , after all of ICC is open for raiding )

edit : downrate all u want .... but it won't change the fact that each boss can drop one on normal 25 and that each boss WILL drop on on heroic 25 ...

Comentario de funkymillah

These are actually Legendary and not epic:

Drop source and rate are currently unknown.

Comentario de WoWmasta101

Does anyone know for sure if the raid leader/master looter has to give the shard to you or can you just loot it right off the boss and multiple people get it?

Comentario de 425384

Shadowmourne is already so much harder to get (than other legendaries such as val'anyr, or the "lolol I'm lucky and I instantly got a 1% drop chance legendary" ones for example) as it is, with the gated instance and all the quests you need to do before you can even begin gathering shards... And you'll need 60 of these. It seems like it would be total overkill if these weren't lootable by multiple people on the quest.

I sure hope everyone who has the quest will be able to see and loot these instead of just one person. It would sure be nice to be able to get a few of our other top melee dps progressing in the chain as well, instead of just me. Wouldn't want to feel like I'm abusing my power as an officer now would I :p

Seems like you will only need 50x SF-Shards, and its still q Q-Item :P .

Comentario de 146138

They are binds when picked up, meaning scrubs won't likely get (60) Shadowfrost Shards with ease.

Comentario de nenadnesha15

No1 really answered the question is that if everyone who has the quest can loot the shards or that it's a drop that only 1 person can get per boss?

Comentario de Athene

Question on Blizz forums: Primordial saronite isn't really the issue, it's the shadowfrost shards where the big question lies.
Blue post: This shouldn't require a ton of planning except for perhaps deciding who is going for the weapon first.

Comentario de 460103

Arthas will most like drop one 100% of the time, like Yogg always drops a Fragment of Val'anyr.

Everything posted by blues so far indicates that it will operate exactly like Val'anyr or Atiesh. Just be longer and harder to complete. And justly so, as it will drop the best weapon available until Cataclysm comes out.

As to the comment about guilds not wanting to "Waste" Saronite on Night's Edge, after buying recipes and crafting a few hold-over pieces until Heroic loot is available, what else is there to spend it on? Next week our guild will have two Nights Edge's and I wouldn't doubt if we did one a week until we ran out of guild Saronite, as not many people are requesting the craftables right now.

Comentario de 435913

My guild has 3 people going after this already, 2 warriors and a DK (me). One of the warriors already has Shadow's Edge and about 500 souls killed. Myself and the other warrior both have around 10 saronite each and the other 3 quest items needed to complete the first part.

Since Sindragosa won't be available for another 2 weeks or more, and we haven't downed Putricide or Lana'thel on 25 man yet, I have a feeling that we're all going to be bottlenecked on this part of the quest.

Personally, I really despise these quests that make a guild "choose" who gets the legendary, and this one is the worst of them all considering you have to acquire 25 saronite and go through months of clearing content just to get to the point where the choice takes effect. I'm sure this weapon will destroy more than a few guilds due to drama...

Would it really be so bad to have 2, 3 or even 4 people per top-guild running around with this, instead of just one? It would still be just as hard to obtain, with the only difference being everyone on this part of the quest could loot a shard if one dropped.

Comentario de Nordigo

Sort of an interesting lorenerdy note - this is the first time I've seen in-game anyone acknowledging that Ner'zhul was part of the Lich King. Just about everyone calls and curses the Lich King as Arthas, altough IIRC it is said that once Arthas donned the armor, both ceased to exist and become one entity, the Lich King. The Christie Golden novel went to further detail on explaining how he became this one entity - how personalities of Arthas and Ner'zhul ceased to exist.

Well, I thought it was interesting at least. And if anyone can prove me wrong on this, if this is indeed the first time Ner'zhul is mentioned in conjuction with the Lich King in WoW, please do.

Comentario de Siton

Same goes for me, my guild has a retri paladin with Shadow's Edge and 500 souls whilst i'm collecting Primordial Saronites. We've both clearly marked that he will get the first one and then we're focusing on mine.

However, the Light's Vengeance retrieval was an epic quest in itself with all those kablaming ghouls.

Comentario de 197753

I see everyone mentioning quest item this, quest item that blah blah, but when you actually highlight the item it doesn't specify that it's a quest item like it normally does. So does that mean it's possible to give the shards to someone else?

Comentario de 15299

Lich King does NOT have a 100% chance to drop a shard... at least not on normal difficulty.

Comentario de Netharian

Do i need to wear the the weapon while i gather the shards or its needed on the quest?

Comentario de VegaSera

How about we just smack the frozen throne with shadow's edge and see if it breaks off a few shards? :D

Comentario de Wreaker

Maybe if you ask to a mage and a warlock combine their powers you can get some of this shards. /bad joke facepalm

Comentario de 128534

In response to my question if it was mandatory to have Shadow's Edge equipped while having this quest (as DK i prefer dw frost on most fights nowadays):

Game Master (GM) Response:

Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

To get the shards to drop you just need the quest and Shadow's Edge equipped.

If you need further assistance, <cut>

I'm going to escalate this, seeing the posts above say something different. Stay tuned!

Edit:

After escalating the ticket 3 times, the first GM was wrong - it is NOT necessary to have Shadow's Edge equipped while on the quest, having it in your bags is enough

Comentario de tarunloko

Shadowfrost Shards may only be obtained in the 25 person difficulty setting.

No they only drop in 25 man

Comentario de 468951

Did they up the drop rate of these? we got one on every boss but Professor. Not that Im complaining.

Comentario de 553587

can u get them even if u dont start the quest

Comentario de 482057

when the Shard drops on a boss, will the loot master be available to pick it up
- or will the person on the quest, get it when he loot the dead boss ?

Comentario de 184741

How is the drop rate affected by having two people on the quest? Are the chances better? Do multiple shards drop? Anyone know?

Descripción

[The Lich King's throne once served as his prison. Kil'jaeden himself crafted the vessel of icy crystals from the twisting nether, its sole purpose to hold Ner'zhul's vengeful spirit.

When Arthas struck the crystal with Frostmourne, he released Ner'zhul's soul, allowing it to merge with his own. Splinters from that impact are now scattered throughout the citadel.

I shall require those shards, held only by the Lich King's most powerful servants, to seal the power contained in your blade.]
