You collect these shards on the Blade's Edge Plateaus.

I believe they are used to activate boss fights, and have some item rewards from these activations.

Commento di Siha

They are used for various quest hand-ins, too, and to purchase items from the Ogri'la Quartermaster.

A nice way to gather several if you chance upon the opportunity is to pay attention if you're near Bash'ir landing and happen to hear a Bash'ir Arcanist yell something like "Realign the crystal forge!". If you go to the crystal forge (54.10, roughly) shortly after the yell, there will be three human/orc/whathaveyou Manadebt Slaves there. Each, when killed, drops several shards (I got 3, 2 and 3 from my kills).

Commento di Hellreject

If you get 10 of these, and use a Depleted Crystal Focus (another items that drop's of Bash'ir Ethereum mobs), you will get a Charged Crystal Focus. This instantly restores 2000 health, but has other uses which I still haven't managed to figre out.

These are also found patrolling to the far East, searching for the apexis shards themselves. The mana-debted-slaves use a health funnel on the arcanist. Arcanist also uses a stasis on you that prevents you from moving/attacking for roughly 5 seconds while you are still damaged.

As mentioned, 2/3 per kill leads to 6/9 per group.

Commento di 55923

You can also just collect these from "apexis crystal formations" guarded by Apexis flayers.

Commento di Thebigman

Buy blue/red ogre brew with these and sell them back for money, if you need cold hard cash or just the bag space.

Commento di grimman

Rogues can collect them by sapping the flayers guarding the crystal formations and simply looting them. No combat involved. :)

Commento di 24995

If you've been doing daily quests for a while, you will no doubt end up with a big pile of these, even if you're buying flasks and potions for Gruul and whatnot.

The shards can't be vendored directly, but you can buy potions and flasks and then vendor those (or auction them if that works on your server). Going only by vendoring, each shard is worth 2.3 silver, regardless of what you buy with them.

Commento di 73742

I've discovered a way to "convert" these into money... it ain't much, but it's good when you have a whole damn lot of these hanging around.

Go to the Ogri'la Quartermaster, buy a whole load of blue/red potions (it doesn't matter which), and then sell them back.
A red potion (2 shards) sells for 4s 60c, and the blue potions (3 shards) sell for 6s 90c.
So a shard is worth 2s 30c.
The spam right click a potion of choice, and then sell it back. =]
Have fun.

Im talking about the red/blue ogre brews by the way, not the Crystal potions.

Commento di valschic

From the 2.4 Patch Notes:

Elites in Blade’s Edge Plateau Regions: These creatures now have an increased chance to drop rare depleted items.

Anyone used extra Apexis Shards to summon bosses from the Dragon Eggs, Fel Formations or Monuments?

Was thinking it would be a good use for extra Apexis Shards instead of buying potions with them and reselling. I have about 11 stacks over 3 characters that I need to do something with :)

Commento di 92167

Blizzard should implement a way to convert a bunch (say, 500) of Apexis Shards into one Apexis Crystal. (Especially because since the Shattered Sun content was released, it's nigh impossible to get a group in Ogri'La anymore.)

It would make a lot of sense that a bunch of shards could be joined to form a single larger crystal. That would also be a lot better than converting them into cash by wasting a half hour buying and selling potions.

Commento di 182018

It would make a lot of sense that a bunch of shards could be joined to form a single larger crystal.

Not really. No matter how much Sand you get, you'll never be able to make a quartz crystal out of it.

Commento di 160394

As mentioned by DontAskSmiles and Dimizor, buying Blue Ogre Brew then reselling it nets you 2s30c per Apexis Shard.

If you have a surplus of these shards and wish to get rid of them in a manner that nets you some pocket change, you may find these macros useful.

WARNING: before using these, make sure your "Backpack" (i.e. the 16-slot bag that you cannot replace) is empty.
WARNING 2: Do not use any macro twice in a row.
WARNING 3: Sometimes it takes a few seconds before the macro's actions are processed by the server, so wait.

I take no responsibility for any lost items. Please heed the above warnings or you may find yourself with lost items.

Macro 1 - Buying 16 stacks of Blue Ogre Brew:
/run for i=1,16 do BuyMerchantItem(1,5) end

Macro 2 - Selling 16 stacks of Blue Ogre Brew:
/run for i=1,16 do UseContainerItem(0,i) end

To quickly liquidate your supply of Apexis Shards into gold:

use Macro 1
wait a few seconds until you see potions in your Backpack
then use Macro 2
wait a few seconds until the potions are gone from your Backpack
Repeat as needed

Commento di 216517

Addition to Patze execlent list.

Best way is to think about Apexis Shards and Crystal as coins, but you need to get stacks of shards to doing harder stuff to get Apexis Crystal.

Please note information on geode rewards is incorrect on wowhead at the moment, but correct on wowwiki.

The Apexis Shard s can also be used to buy stuff at Bash'ir landing before and during the battle there.
Before each battle you can only buy pots from the circle chest.
(somehow there is now always a Sha'tari Skyguard npc there or will fly in quickly when killed)

During the battle you can buy higher items, but the lower once will not be buyable when the next escort defending phase starts.

I did this escort quest to day with 2 other level 80s and somehow finished it totaly.

Wowwiki has an nice list on the rewards per phase.

The Class Large and Small Metamorphosis Geode can only be bought with Apexis Crystal s
and do not need Apexis Shard s.
See for correct list and rewards http://www.wowwiki.com/Bash%27ir_Landing_Raid

A nice tip is to buy Accelerator Module for 27 Shards and use it to summon 72 elite mob.
These mobs will drop 1 Apexis Crystal. This is the most cost effective way of getting Apexis Crystal s.
Please note in a party you roll for the Apexis Crystal so sort out who gets it seeing its Bind on pick Up. twink hint
https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=32759

P.S: Also i have pickup up some Apexis Shard between the crystal stuctures.

Commento di Robotusch

For those doing Ogri'la reputation these days, I've found an excellent way to turn Apexis Shards into gold: Summon the mini-bosses and hope for a Jewelcrafting recipe drop. It costs 35 shards to summon a boss and I've been selling the JC recipes for 15g each. That's ~40s pr shard.

The mini-bosses themselves aren't too difficult to handle as a level 80, and they can be stunned, silenced and otherwise CC'd.

Commento di rzzr

I agree with the OP. I kill the dragons from https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=11078 . Kill each dragon and you can make a cloak from the scales Mantello della Stirpe di Alamorte which sells on the AH. Dragons also drop greens and recipes. At level 80 these dragons are a breeze to solo and this makes far more gold than selling potions etc. Also this is repeatable as many times as you want.
Admittedly I wouldn't like to be wearing the cloak when Deathwing appears, she might not be that amused :-)

Commento di 574837

An easy way to collect a number of these is if you have the quest "Maintaining the Sunwell Portal" you will Phase to collect ten boxes. These boxes are guarded by Phase Wyrms.. after getting your boxes stick around a bit and kill all the wyrms. In the Phase State, they are the only mobs around, spread out nicely and the drop rate for me was 2-1. I got one Apexis Shard for two wyrms killed.

I also picked up a nice stack of Mote of mana from the wyrms.

Commento di Narinae

This appears to have been nerfed, although I can't imagine why they'd bother at this point. I just killed 20 phase wyrms and got 4 shards. :(

Commento di 163020

If you're left out with some of them after being exalted (less than 35 to summon an elite) you can exchange them for some silver by buying the mana and health potions from the quartermaster and selling them back.

I know, ridiculous, but it's good for completionism.

Commento di Shaitan051

I really wish they would unbind these. Ogri'la is the worst rep ever, it makes Nozdormu rep look like fun.

Commento di Allakhazam

noob

Commento di Allakhazam

they r used to buy stuff from Jho'nass, the ogri'la quartermaster

Commento di Allakhazam

These are used to purchase items from the Ogri'la quartermaster and also to summon many different 5 man mobs for Ogri'la rep quests (5 man mobs also drop an Apexis Crystal which is rolled for by the party that is also used to buy items from the quarter master). They are also needed in certain quests to activate items and also in Blades Edge Mountains some 'depleted' items are dropped which require shards to power up to the full item. Shards can drop off any mob in the Ogri'la area of BEM, picked up from Crystal Shard formations, and as a reward from many Ogri'la and Sha'tari Skyguard quests.

Commento di Allakhazam

Do NOT click on any of the devices where this shard is to be used, unless you are sure its the device you want.......If you have 10 shards in your bag, they will be consumed and you'll get at flask of something.............

Commento di Allakhazam

Anyone know what these are used for?

Commento di Thottbot

Seems like this will be the item you have to farm endlessly to get the Ogri'la faction. Farm shards off mobs around their camp, then use the shards to play the games like 'simon' or summon a bird to kill, or fill drops with shards to power them...etc.

Commento di Thottbot

No, he's talking about this:

Commento di Thottbot

Do you have to do anything to get these? Or will they drop as soon as you start killing mobs in the area these can drop?

Similarly, will the "depleted" items drop automatically, or is there a prereq. for that?

Commento di Thottbot

No prereq. I haven't even been to Ogri'la yet and got the Shards and Depleted things from mobs in Bash'ir.

Commento di Thottbot

Is 250 the most you can have w/ these? If so whats the most productive way to get rid of them?

Commento di Thottbot

If you find you've got an ass-load to many of these, just buy Red and Blue Ogre Brews and sell 'em. Each crystal shard is worth 2 Silver and 30 Copper doing this. I dun got 23 Gold for selling the 1000 I had wasting my bag space.

Commento di Thottbot

It annoys me grren and blue that, when at a vendor, mouseover-ing these shows that each of these are worth 5 g, but no merchants want them /:

Commento di Thottbot

I remember seeing something when asked to the bash'irs landing assault. Save your shards for this.

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/v3107635

dont waste your shards on pots, save them for meta gems and the like.

Commento di Thottbot

Yeah, 1000 Shards seems like a lot. How many do they stack in? you can only get there by flying mount (someone asked in earlier post)

Commento di Thottbot

I don't think it's worthwhile farming these. From just one day of doing my dailies i get 60 of these from the quests in Ogri'la and the neighboring Skyguard camp. The dailies take 5 seconds to do and reward you fifteen for each quest. I think i have about 2000 in my bank (lol) and have never farmed any of them i just do dailies.

Commento di Thottbot

You do not need a flying mount to get there.. you don't even have to be lv70.... I did it at lv65, however got my butt promptly kicked, did make it all the way across to Bashir and manage to kill one guy and get a shard....

This is how: go all the way to the east, put all your armor in your bags and then run past the red balisk to the edge, near 76.15 on the map.... when you die, you will rez at the spirit healer in the center of the Crystal Spine....

Commento di CircleofHealing

I've had these sitting in my bag for years. They are Burning Crusade currency worth about 2 silver. I deleted them.
