This is what you get if you disenchant 50+ blues.

Comment by 8004

enchanting is a huge money maker. on my server (demon soul) these things sell for 5-7 gold each. running high end instances will usually get you 2-3 of these a run.

Comment by 8029

That varies per server on my server, Small Brilliant Shards go for about 50s, and large go for about 2-3g a peice. It really matters on teh server. But the small brilliant shards do start rollign in at around level 50.

Which dungeons should I try to solo farm for these at level 70 without stealth? I'd like to avoid most of the trash if possible.

Comment by Brandstone

Are there any craftable items that disenchant into these?

Comment by rmk1999

The best take on these i've gotten is when i went to strat for righteous orbs. the trash on the way to live side dropped 5 blue set items(valor, lightforge, shadowcraft pieces). Cannon master usually drops 2 blues and so does balnazzar. One run = 9 shards. One suggestion is that if you try strat for these set your inn to the flight path in EPL since its not really that kind of walk out the door reset/repeat kind of instance...you'll need to hearth after balnazzar and ride in again. Unless of course you have key to the city(which I don't yet), easiest way i've found to get crusader mats.

Personally, I like to goto BRD and just go past everything until Lord Incendius. Kill him, run back out, and reset. Takes maybe 3-4 minutes tops. Maybe not the fastest way, but I really dislike Bael'Gor because of the adds he spawns and the large amounts of mobs around him. The path to Incendius is easily navigated with killing only a fire elemental and maybe a dog or two.

Comment by 61460

As a 65 feral druid with only a couple blues and all rest in greens (some from before Outland), I'm currently farming some LBS for my own +25 agil on 2H.

* Bael'Gor is a definite no-no: he hits real hard even in bear mode, and I can't get him down and heal in cat mode;

* Incendius is a breeze: I just kill the last two fire elementals before him so that I can fight in a safer place and not get thrown out into the lava, but if careful, you can do the fight where he paths: kitty mode, dps as much as you can, pop a couple times to heal and regen (I'll work on a macro today to ease up on the switch/heal/switch) and he goes down with not much trouble; guaranteed LBS.

* Lord Roccor: you may want to farm him as well as it doesn't take much time; you can get an enchanting recipe, a core of earth (low freq. but I have gotten some), and, sometimes, you also get a druid reliq wich is lvl 52 so it will also DE into an LBS.
Tip: if you get one and you're using the other, just unequip yours, DE it, then loot him.
See his page for a description of where to fight him near the two brazers: works perfectly. Just beware the dogs as even lvl 49 they can see through stealth so don't get too close to them.

Doesn't take more than 10~15 mins to do both including going in/out and you get 1 maybe 2 LBS and maybe some other nice stuff.

Comment by Anthalis

When I need shards for my hunter, I will go to DM east and kill each boss. The only difficult part is if my pet does not resist many of hydrospawn's attacks. Aside from that, it's very easy to get each boss kill in. In an excellent run you can get 5 shards...at worst you'll get 2 from the final boss, all in about 20 minutes time.

Comment by viva

As feral druid stealth into dire maul east, kill bosses, exit, reset and you are done :)

Comment by 94420

I just get a few bosses in BRD, I keep forgetting the fire boss in there, but with him (ive only done this twice), as a 60 mage I just get Fire Ward, then when thats ran out I use Ice Barrier, and my Water Elemental and I can DPS him out. It isn't that hard. Still debating at 60 if I should do RFD for the small radiant shards or continue doing this, the small radiants sold all the time, still dont know if these do

Comment by 96990

I don't know are we talking about same instance, but BRD??? I went last night to get some shards for me. The best way is to kill "only" Bael'Gor , because he is the closest one and you dont need to fight even one mob he always drops items with 100% drop for Large Brilliant Shard. Beside he droped me https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=11225 along with couple of BoE blue items and couple of Tomes for mages and priests. I Have killed 8 bosses alone but If u want to be effective and quick just run in kill Bael'Gor ( best to fight him against the wall to avoid patrol) run out reset and all over again. You can do it in like 5 min. I have a 70 frost mage never died in there (ofc because of my high agility and def rating :) ) and he is NOT hard ,kill him over 100 times at least by just standing in one place spawning frostbolt , and not like I'm tier 6 but ppl are you going naked when you can't kill it???

Comment by 64110

Not the fastests but clearing scholomance usually gives around 7+ shards which i think is good . Lots of trash mobs though but easy otherwise. My server is so old that the price for LBS is ridiculous. 10 can cost 100g for example, 1 is about 17g at the cheapest. I'd hate to train enchanting there now with no main characters.

Comment by 171449

I just went to scholo and when I dropped down found out the hard way those mobs are immune to fire and arcane. So gg if you're a mage.

Comment by Worry

You can also do a full BRD clear.

Much more efficient, you should net around 20~ lbs and some random sbs per run. 40-50m per run, so you'll never run into lockout problems.

Comment by 122037

The thing with BRD for me, (rogue) is that i didn't do a whole lot of it when i was that lvl and i don't know my way around it... so for me strat UD and live is much more practical...1 entire clear of strat UD / live takes 40m i get about 10-15 LBS 10-20 Illusion dust and 5-10 Greater Eternals, and also Righteous orbs... :D on DW currently at 68g each so im raking in the dough

Comment by thepunisher

i dont know why but they are really cheap today on zuljin i bout mats for crusader for like 20g and they we like 2g each idk if its like this on each server

Comment by Omgdeadwtf

Yeah I was about to say, have these really dropped on all realms since WOTLK or what? I went to AH and for some reason I have a memory of them being over 10g now they are at 2-3g?

Comment by AusSpyder

Since they raised the drop rate on Baron Rivendares mount in Strat the price of these shards have plummeted.

Comment by Ninja1

The fastest farm and which will give you 8-9 each run will be Stratholme. All you have to do is by entering the Backdoor (Undead side). As you enter the gates, the first boss, ''Magistrate Barthilas'' will run through the next gate up ahead, but dont worry let him do it. No just keep moving forward and find your way to the first encounter ''Baroness Anastari'' as she sometimes drops 2 blue, but for the most, always 1 blue, 1 green and also if you are seeking rep with Argent Daw, she will drop ''Corruptor's Scourgestone'' which can turn in for 500 rep. You will be able to get 7 of this in one single run, thats 3000 rep exept the boss/trash kills.

When you kill here, dont forget to enter the house and kill the Non Elite Npc inside so you will be able to enter Baron Rivendare 1/3.

Now you have killed first boss, and finished 1/3 and probably 1-2 Brilliant Shards.

Next stop if as you going down the stairs, just keep forward til you find ''Nerub'enkan'' at the next temple. Kill him and loot the cash. He sometimes dropps 2 blue items. And dont forget to kill the NPC inside the house/temple

As soon you exit the house, take left and through the gates, you will be trapped here for a few seconds just kill the rats or what ever spawns and continue forward and kill ''Maleki the Pallid'' .

Enter the house now, kill the NPC and dont forget to loot em, sometimes they dropp greens which can be DE to Greater Enternal Essence or Dreamdust.

Now hold on the right side and before you enter the big gates, look to the right and you will find ''Magistrate Barthilas'' who from the start espaced to warn Baron Rivendare. Kill him and loot the cash

Now ad you enter you will find alot of NPC which need to be killed so the last boss before Baron will spawn.

NOTE- When you have killed all those NPC, before you killing the last one, kite him to the entrance of Baron Rivendare temple. When you killed the last NPC, ''Ramstein the Gorger'' will spawn inside the temple, now go inside before he walks out and kill him inside so you dont have to waste 2-3 min waiting outside just to get the door to be opened, this will save you time. As you kill him, loot and AOE the 4 NPC which spawns after his death when finished, keep going inside and fight Baron him self.

He drops 3-4 Blues, sometimes
He can drop the Mount
And you gain alot of rep with Argent Dawn

Comment by 262555

I've found doing Strat Barron runs to be really efficient for getting shards. A quick clear can get about 7, a full clear can get about 10, plus 40g worth of vendor trash, and about 8 stacks of runecloth. On my server the cloth sells regularly for 4-6g a stack and the shards go for 7-10g each. Crypt Fiend parts and Bone Fragments also sell pretty well, and the chance of the mount dropping make it worth the time.

I got the mount today on about my 40th attempt :-)

Ah, large brilliant shard, the cause an solution to all of lifes problems

Comment by Thottbot

What would be the best place to farm these?

Comment by Thottbot

The price is different per server, per side, and per week :). SO no good answer can be given for that :)

Comment by Thottbot

The best place to farm these and about the only place to farm these are in BRS, Scholo, and Strat off the blues. And probably the only way you'll be able to farm these effectively is in guild runs when they give you the blues to disenchant and let you keep the shards.

Comment by Thottbot

Yea a lvl 51+ Blue should do it.....even a 51+ green can, but thats a pretty rare chance.

Comment by Thottbot

THe easiest way I've found to farm these is in DM EAST. Go down the back hallway into East and you'll come out on the top lvl infront of some of the little plant dudes. I just run off the top to the bottom and everything drops aggro. Then I just walk down the hall to my right and kill the Hydrospawn boss. As a 66 hunter its relativly easy to farm...Im BM specced and just spam heals on my pet. I've gotten just about every book from DM and made lots of gold just off those. He also has a chance to drop essence of water which goes for around 10g on my server. Burning Blade server.

Comment by Thottbot

I`ve gotten a fair share of theese by soloing parts of BRD. As a 70 hunter its very doable to just sneak past everything to get 4-5 bosses including the arena event.
In a good day i got about 30 small ones and 18 large ones. The pyromancer (the one standing in front of a certain statue above the arena) also has a chance of dropping the Fiery Weapon formula , wich sells for about 50g on my server nowadays.

Comment by Thottbot

On my server large brilliant shards go for about 20 gold each. I'm a feral druid with high enchanting, my way of farming it is like this:
Do BRD, stealth-run to Bael'gar and kill him. Then go open the lock and run to angelforge or what his name is. then go to the bar and destroy kegs and kill that boss, then buy beer and let the dwarf destroy kegs, kill phalanx and stealthrun off. After u kill the naga boss ( can't remember his name) u stealth off to the seven dwarves. After that it's fast back to the fire elemental which you can jump to from outside the bar. Get naked and jump down in the lava, corpserun back and reset instance. Rinse and repeat :D

All in all that's 8 large brilliant shards, and I do that in 25-30 minutes if I concentrate. So per hour that's 16 shards which will land me with over 300 gold per hour!

This is by far the best way of farming money I've found out so far in the burning crusade. That is, if the prices on large brilliants are high :)

Comment by Thottbot

You need them for crusader enchant right?

Comment by Thottbot

The Best way to farm these are as follows: Make a team, yourself the enchanter and a letherworker/skinner. Have the lw make lots of wicked leather headbands(easy to make, farm epl for leather) and you de them, you get eternal essences and these shards from them. Turn about and hour of time grinding for leather into about 100g easily. If you want to sell them, don't flood the market, just put a couple up at a time, I generally put them up for 10g a piece. So good luck and I hope this helps.

Comment by Thottbot

they go on my realm 9-15g each I usually sell them 10g so mine sell almost all time. lvl 70 bm hunter. I farm about 18 an hour whish is bout 6 every 20 minutes. Best farming of my life :) I do it all in brd. FD FTW

Comment by Thottbot

Best farming place for Pala is a DM east. Depend of drops you have from 3 to 7 in 1 raid. Its takes only 12 min to complete all bosses if you know how to move to avoid trashes fight. My set +802 spell dmg, 9,8k mana, 13k armor, 31 % crit. At last boss probably you will need mana potion (can be from BG marks), this depends how many crit you will have and how much boss resist. In my server TH shards are going 9-12 g each. BUT after patch 2.2.0 will be the end of easy money. +agi formulas and other from AQ 20 we can buy at TBC vendors. Mats for this enchants blizz will transform to TBC standards so .... end of 200 g per hour from this shards.

Comment by Thottbot

I farm them with my 70 druid in Stratholm, i enter UD side go straight left and look for Heartsinger forester and the Unforgiven.

Kill them, disenchant run out and reset.

Makes about 10 shards in 30 minutes pretty easy and fast to make some gold.

Comment by Thottbot

As a level 70 Hunter BM SPec'D, I've found that
BlackRock Depths is a great place for farming these shards.

-Before you start farming here, you definately need to get the key to open locked doors to get a lot more shards!

- Start off By making your first Left, follow pathway til u can either go left or right, go left.
1st Boss (bael'Gar)..kill him..turn around follow that pathway up to 2nd boss Lord Incendious..kill him..continue up that pathway , there are some rare bosses for you 3rd/4th boss .

- Make your way to the Ring of Law, start battle, there you have the potential to get either a small or large brill, just depends on what boss spawns 5th boss.

- From Ring of Law Open it! Go back up stairs from which u came and make ur way to the left. You'll go across a narrow hallway and enter a room.

- ON the left side of the room is General Angerforge , hes down the stairs,kill him, turn around head up the stairs, down the hallway straight to Golem Lord Argelmach. leave his chamber and head east.

-This should take you to the bar talk to Plugger Spazzring , turn around and talk to guy right behind him, give him 6 ale. He will open door for you, Now a big Sphinx thingie will be blocking the door, fight him for the shard and continued pathway.

-ONce out of the tavern head down the stairs and make ur first left following this to Ambassador Flamelash.

- Exit to this room to the left and look for Panzer the Invisible if hes there fight him, if not, just turn around and head towards the tavern.

-Once in the tavern talk to Plugger Spazzring again, by now, he should have the limited item "pattern: Black DragonScale breatplate"

-Leave Instance and Reset. Have Fun

So thats approx 10 Large Brilliants in 1 run! This is all from memory so forgive me if im wrong on something =]

Comment by Thottbot

For those with Timbermaw Hold at friendly and your a Leatherworker, the warbear harness recipe that you can purchase. Requires rugged leather and warbear leather.
disenchants to large brilliant shard every time.

Comment by Thottbot

Just picked up Tooth of Eranikus out of sunkin temple fifgting main bosses past the dragon kin and its a 100% chance 4 a large brilliant shard when disenchanted. Thought this might help some

Comment by Thottbot

The Warbear Harness disenchants to SMALL Brilliant Shard - - - Not LARGE Brilliant Shard.

Comment by Thottbot

Go to BRD- kill Lord Pyron, do the arena event, and kill the Pyromancer. All three have a good chance of dropping a blue item that will DE into a large brilliant shard. Took me 3 runs to get the mats I needed for my runed fel iron rod.

Comment by Thottbot

Large Brilliant Shards go for 3-4g on my server now. All of a sudden, within 1-2days, there were several hundreds, if not over 1000, of them on AH. I smell goldfarmers....

Btw, the Q: "And Now, the Moment of Truth" rewards Brilliant Mana Oil or Brilliant Wizard Oil. But it says its a horde Q? Not a simmilar Q for alliance? Alliance still need ZG rep to make 'em? And is it repeteable, a daily?

Comment by Thottbot

The price differs on all server, And every day, my server: Azgalor, some guy sould me 11 of them for 4g ea, im keeping them till the price in Ah raises, it raises and goes lower almsot everyday...

Comment by Thottbot

On my server this go for 20g each, im saving for epic flying skill thats 5kg.
so if each run in brd gives 10shards im planning on doing this 25 times, shouldent take long hopefully, better then farming primals or doing dailys.

Comment by Thottbot

used to go for about 13 gold each on my server but now the past couple weeks they are only about 4 gold anyone know why?

Comment by Thottbot

the reason why the price for the shards has fallen so much is because there so easy to get your hands on im a prot pally and i can do so many large pulls in places like strat i get so many blues from it i got to say its like liquid gold but the disadvantage is i am not a enchanter so i cant De all the blues but this maybe a good reason why people are starting to put them so low trying to compete with people selling off the shards

Comment by Thottbot

For months after the release of WOTLK, I couldn't give these things away, but in the last couple of weeks, Large Brilliant Shards (along with Void Crystals and Large Prismatic Shards) have actually been selling. Anyone have an idea why?

Comment by Allakhazam

From what stuff does this disenchant from in tailoring?

Comment by Allakhazam

Got one when disenchanting Truestrike shoulders in UBRS .

Comment by Allakhazam

dont shoot me on this one but i think its 50 or 55+ blue stuff

Comment by Allakhazam

I haven't tried this, but if you're an enchanter, find a buddy and go to BRD.
If you're both 60 and are the right fit of classes with decent (lvl 50+ blues), this should work. (Like a healer of some sort, and a tank of some sort, with one of you also acting as the DPS, something like shaman/warrior).

Go to the Arena, if you have the key, you only have you pull about 4-6 static mobs, and possibly the dog patrols. Once you're there, fight the arena spawns, kill the boss, loot, d/e, leave through the portal, reset, and go again.

Depending on the boss you get, you're gonna get a lvl 49-52 blue each run, with a small chance of getting an epic.

The runs themselves should not take too long or be too difficult for 2 fairly skilled fairly geared 60s.

Comment by Allakhazam

these shard are about 20g ony my server :O (dragonmaw EU) omg. prismatics sometimes cost much less (17g)

Comment by Allakhazam

Level 51+ blue items.

Comment by Allakhazam
