Nethershard

For the dagger, see  [Nethershard].

• Nethershard
• Warband Transferrable
• A fragment of crystalized nether brought to Azeroth by the Legion. Demon hunters of the Illidari would be interested in these shards.

Nethershard is a currency used to purchase items sold by the Captive Wyrmtongue at Illidari camps in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Legion Invasion sites, as well as several vendors on the Broken Shore.

Specifically, they are crystalized fragments of residual nether energy, a solidified form of the Twisting Nether itself.

Source

The currency may be accrued in a number of ways.

• Complete certain world quests in a Broken Isles zone while it is under attack from Burning Legion forces.
• Complete one-time Broken Shore quests.
• Kill demonic mobs in Broken Shore.
• Loot treasure chests in Broken Shore.

The subject of this section was removed from World of Warcraft in patch 7.3.0.

• Loot from  [Legionfall Recompense], awarded upon contributing 100 [Legionfall War Supplies] to the construction of a Legionfall building. (This is repeatable.)

History

The subject of this article or section was part of Legion Invasions, a world event that heralded the beginning of the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth prior to Legion.

Nethershards dropped from the Legion commanders, barracks commanders and their command crystals during Stage 3 of Legion Invasions. They were also contained in stacks of five and ten from  [Small Legion Chest] and  [Large Legion Chest], respectively.

While Nethershards did drop for players below level 98, only the  [Felbat Pup] was available for them to purchase.
