Item:Astral Shard

= Astral Diamond =

Astral Diamonds are a form of currency, they are used in several ways such as the purchasing of the deluxe-tier of Guild Airships. They are available from the DDO Store. Like most DDO Store items, they can also drop from any chest, but have a very small drop rate.

However, if you loot one from in-game chests (Bound to Account), it's useless until you find at least three more, since you need four or more to trade them for Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments (see below), or five to turn them in to the ship vendor in the Harbor or use in the Cauldron of Sora Katra in the Attack on Stormreach pack.

Guild Airships
Please refer the the Guild Airships page.

 * "Stormglory airships have more space and more amenity slots per size class. They are also quite stylish! Such Luxury doesn't come cheaply though. All Stormglory class ships require astral diamonds as part of their payment. No diamonds, no deal. You can find astral diamonds in the DDO Store."
