Some information about the Cristallo Sha:

You can get these by disenchanting epics or getting 5 Frammento Etereo and create Cristallo Sha.

Who can do this?
Only Incantamento can do this.

The Sha Crystal in Mists of Pandaria replaced the Maelstrom Crystal from Cataclysm.

The new enchanting materials include:

Interesting. Sha in Pandaria are negative emotions made Incarnate, so the highest level enchantments for killing stuff will literally be made by crystalized hate and anger. Does this mean that the Sith have a point?

Enchanters now have a daily cooldown that allow them to create a Cristallo Sha from 5 Frammento Etereo. For the time being in MoP, it looks like enchanters will be able to up and down convert all their materials at will, albeit with losses, except for the daily CD on Sha Crystals.

Up-Converts:
5 Polvere Spiritica = 1 Essenza Misteriosa - Essenza Misteriosa
5 Essenza Misteriosa = 1 Frammento Etereo - Frammento Etereo
5 Frammento Etereo = 1 Cristallo Sha - Cristallo Sha

Down-Converts:
1 Cristallo Sha = 2 Frammento Etereo - Frantumazione dello Sha
1 Frammento Etereo = 3 Essenza Misteriosa - Frantumazione Eterea
1 Essenza Misteriosa = 3 Polvere Spiritica - Dispersione Misteriosa

The losses on the items from down-converting are quite hefty, especially from the Sha Crystal down to Ethereal Shard. If a player was to take 125 spirit dust, they could up-convert all the way to a Sha Crystal, but breaking it back down would only yield 18 spirit dust back, for a staggering 14.4% efficiency rate.

Currently there are no recipes with Frammento Etereo Piccolo or Essenza Misteriosa Superiore, and the item ID for lesser mysterious essence is the same as Essenza Misteriosa, so there may be a shift in enchanting norms come MoP.

In MoP, it looks like all the enchanting mats for the expansion will be able to be converted from one to the other by Enchanters. This is good; no mats will be wasted, and all mats will be linked to one another in price, loosely. It works like this:

Spirit Dust will convert to Mysterious Essence, which will convert to Ethereal Shard, all at a ratio of 5:1, via this and this .

Going in the other direction doesn't yield as many, however; a shard yields just three essences, and an essence yields just three dust.
Converting upwards, you can make an Ethereal shard with 25 dust, but converting a shard down to dust yields just 9 dust.

Sha Crystals work slightly differently. They can be broken down into shards at a ratio of 1 to 2 via this, but the only way to convert up to them is with this, which as you'll notice has a one-day cooldown (presumable resetting at midnight like the Cata Alchemy transmutes).

This is, IMHO, a fantastic design. First of all, we won't have two hundred million stacks of dust sitting on the AH and never selling, thank the Titans.

This also means that the price of an Ethereal Shard will pretty much always be worth more than nine dusts, but never worth more than 25 of them. It also means that the price of dust will be pulled UP by the price of shards more often than the other way around. Dusts will likely hover around 1/25 of the price of a shard, and essences will likely hover around 1/5 of a shard.

And with the way the Sha Crystals are set up, the price of Shards will be pulled up by the demand for Crystals, which are always the most sought-after, especially in the beginning of the xpac. Shards will probably go for a bit less than 1/5 of a crystal, since converting them upwards into crystals will be limited by to one per day per Enchanter. And because of that cooldown, the price of Crystals will stay high enough to be profitable, without being nearly as preposterously overpriced as they were at the beginning of Cataclysm.

And best of all: Every single conversion will be performed by an Enchanter. The Enchanters will make money from regulating the prices of the mats, to everyone's benefit.

Thank you, Blizzard. You nailed it.

Note: This crystal is used in recipes obtained from acquiring revered reputation with the August Celestials and the Shado-Pan. Before people can start grinding rep with these factions they have to be revered with the Golden Lotus. Thus, it's going to be a while before these enchants, and therefore, Sha Crystals, will be used.

A good way to farm these is by killling the rare spawns you can find in all pandaren continents.
I usually kill 5-10 rares a day and get 1 sha crystal or more
combined with the enchanting recipe, thats 2-3 crystals per day :)

Prices on AH are now slowly dropping on my server, but the enchants are still worth quite a chunk of money

Commento di Ping

These are also contained in Sacca Grande di Meraviglie, which drops from Yul Zampa Furente, a Pandaren rare in Townlong Steppes (on a cliff to the east of Niuzao Temple 31.9, 62.0). According to this site, the bag has about a 10% drop chance and also contains Spirit Dust, Ethereal Shards and Mysterious Essence.

Commento di 1071280

One way to farm these are from rares. Since rares in pandaria have a pretty decent respawn rate and some can drop BoP epic items it's a pretty good alternative if you have an enchater friend to join you or are one yourself.

Another way could be scenarios since they can drop 476ilvl epics, but I'm not sure how high the droprate for them are and it's only usefull if you're an enchater.

And yeah, you could go raidfinder for some and make 1 Sha Crystal/day from 5 Etheral Shards.

What seems to be missing is a spell/quest to obtain Sha Crystals using Spirits of Harmony.

I sourly miss it here, since the amount of Sha Crystals required for weapon enchants (10) is punishing. My Priest is Shadow with Discipline as second, and Druid is Resto/Feral, and after a couple of weapon drops it's becoming really daunting. With the punishing price for extra Sha gems, gemming and enchanting a new Sha weapon for Feral/Discipline would set me back about 15k gold. I end up sincerely hoping that it doesn't drop - darn, healer mace did drop and is sitting at the bank. The idea of lvling alts which WILL require weapon enchants makes my hair stand on end - ok, DK may proceed.

Other professions having daily cds also have alternatives:
Tailoring Imperial Silk vs. Song of Harmony,
Jewelcrafting Secrets of the Stone vs. Vermilion Onyx etc.,
Alchemy Riddle of Steel vs. Transmute: Living Steel,
Inscription ok silly and overpriced quests vs. Scroll of Wisdom

Enchanting would be the only profession where I would be really tempted to use such an alternative - weapon enchants are something that is needed over and over again, compared to daily cds creating mats for craftables that may soon become obsolete.

It is worth noting that the Horde can exchange spirit of harmony for ethereal shard one-for-one with Danky at the Shrine of Two moons, allowing a 'chanter to convert motes of harmony into sha crystals using his 16-plant farming plot dedicated to windbell plants as a resource:

16 windbells yield 16 motes of harmony per day = 6 spirits of harmony in 4 days
6 spirits of harmony yield 6 ethereal shards
6 ethereal shards yield 1 sha crystal + 1 shard left over.

So you can accumulate 1 sha crystal from mindless farming in Halfhill every 4 days.

Plus, the spirits of harmony are soulbound but the shards are not . You can farm your harmonies and convert them to shards to supply mats to the chanter instead of using his.

Not fast, but free and easy (unless you turn your spirits of harmony into royal satchels instead)

Commento di Ro0ni

As stated by pthor1234, you can convert enchanting materials to other materials by upgrading and downgrading.

I decided I'd make it even more simple for those who can not be assed to check ie. how many Spirit Dusts it takes to make a stack of Ethereal Shards.

100 Spirit Dusts = 20 Mysterious Essence
100 Mysterious Essence = 20 Ethereal Shards
100 Ethereal Shards = 20 Sha Crystal

20 Sha Crystal is made of
=100 Ethereal Shards (5 stacks)
=500 Mysterious Essences (25 stacks)
=2500 Spirit Dusts (125 stacks)

Please note that the spell to make Sha Crystals has a 1-day cooldown.

BoE epics from rares can be disenchanted into a crystal, and they're often on the auction house for less than a crystal, AND you can get 2.

Commento di TheQuasars

Making your main character an enchanter this expansion is pretty nice as you can disenchant any loot you don't need from LFR, and use the materials to give yourself the otherwise "expensive" enchants.

Commento di 1021491

As on Patch 5.2, Sha Crystals can now be obtained by using extra honor to buy Malevolent gear and disenchanting them. You can still trade justice points for honor points in your main city to buy even more PVP gear. There does not seem to be a way for non-enchanters to buy BoE gear and have a friend disenchant though (like Cata PvE boots).

Do this along with one Sha crystal a day (plant Magebulb Seeds in Valley of Four Winds) and disenchanting LFR gear, you should have a good supply of Sha crystals if you are enchanter. For non-enchanters, Sha crystals can be obtained with BoE epic drops and by selecting disenchant roll in your normal/heroic raid groups (not LFR).

man put it on a chain u be lookin like Gallywix

Commento di McGrignr

Patch 5.4 adds a whole lot of Sha Crystals to the market by way of Timeless Isle gear tokens. As long as your enchanter is eligible to create an item from it (i.e. a hunter can open Timeless Mail tokens, but is class-restricted from opening Timeless Cloth, Leather, or Plate), you get a 496 epic that turns into one or more Sha Crystals. Surplus tokens of useable type picked up by any of your alts can be mailed to an enchanter, turned into an epic, and disenchanted.

Also, using a Fardello dell'Eternità on a Timeless token of any type (trinkets excluded) will allow you to create a disenchantable epic for Sha Crystals while bypassing the armor class restriction on your enchanter, but with the rarity of Burdens, it's generally not a good idea unless you have literally nothing else to upgrade with it.

In the beginning of WoD at least, I'm getting Sha Crystals from disenchanting WoD epics. It seems to be the item level that determines which crystals you get. Items above ilvl 600 give Temporal Crystals and below give Sha Crystals.

Guide to Sha Crystal farming here.

Commento di xScarlife

Hello everyone, I have made a really nice guide on how to obtain Sha Crystals. Click Here!

The best farming spot to obtain Sha Crystals is in the Timeless Isle located in Mists of Pandaria.
Once you are there the only thing you have to do is kill the Gulp Frogs. Those frogs will drop armor tokens.

If you drop another armor token that you can't convert, you can send it to another character to convert it and sell it to the vendor for some gold or you can choose to trade the tokens with your party members.

Also, pay attention to your Gulp of Frog Toxin poison stack. Make sure that you don't hit 10 stacks or you will instantly die.

I hope this has helped!

i'm sorry, but you won't be buying my sha crystals for 14g a piece. what is wrong with you people? do you not reed the little tool tip that says sells for 25g , sells for 36g, sells for 42g?

good grief. if you are selling sha crystals on the ah for 14g , then you need to go back to school asap. you are losing money basically doing so.

heres a break down

average item from MOP raid sells for 25-50g
average green from mop sells for 7-25g

average yield of spirit dust per green varies, but usually 2-5
average yield of ethereal shard per green varies , but usually 0-1

ethereal shards needed to create one sha crystal - 3
mysterious essence need to create one ethereal shard - 3
spirit dust needed to create one mysterious essence 5

so

lets do the math

if you are de your greens and getting spirit dust, you wuld need to de close to 10 greens to make one sha crystal (varies). each green is worth 7 - 25 g . that is between 70-250 gold per sha crystal using this method

if you happen to get an ethereal shards, or you are de blues (14-30g) to get guaranteed shard, you are now looking at the cost of one sha crystal being 42-90g

if you de every single epic you get from running a mop raid , you are guaranteed a sha crysta. you are also guaranteed to e losing out on the guaranteed gold from those items of 25-50g

factor in the time one has to take out of their way to do this (at about 1.5k gold an hour, the average gold spent just questing, kiling mobs, running dungeons and doing world quests)

and a production rate (if just running raids) of about 25 sha crystals per hour

the base cost of a sha crystal shoud therefore be

1.5k/25 + 25-30g

making the cost of each sha crystal, realisticaly, in a market that is not just based off people spazing out and clicking de without checking vendor price.

312 gold 5 silver + 25-30g

337 gold 5 silver or 342 gold 5 silver

..

and yet the average selling price is 14g?

please, dont' get me started.
