Pristine Mana Shard
Value: 80,000 0 Burden Units
A pristine shard of congealed Mana, which tingles with barely contained power. Trade 10 of these to an Arcanum Mana-smith for a key to one of the Shard Mana Forge Chests. This item cannot be sold.

Notes

• Stack Size is 1000
• Locations of Mana Forges:
  • Cragstone - 25.7N 48.3E
  • Hebian-To - 39.8S 81.2E
  • Zaikhal - 13.4N 0.5E
• Originally 10 given to the Arcanum Mana-smith would give a Shard Mana Forge Key. In Risks and Rewards a new NPC was added where you can turn in 10 for a key up to five times per week, the Arcanum Quota Officer. After that you can turn in to the Arcanum Mana-smith at the rate of 25 per key. In Seeds of Corruption the key reward was changed so that it now opens any chest in the Mana Forge, not just the shard chests. Also during Risks and Rewards the possibility of drops in enclosed areas on the landscape, such as the Wight Barrow in Graveyard and Vaeshok's cave on Dark Isle, no longer allow Pristine's to drop.
