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.

In addition, ones from in-game chests are Bound to Character opposed to store-purchased ones being Bound to Account. Since these can only be turned in to the Ship vendor in the Harbor in multiples of 5, if you find one in a chest, it's useless until you find four more on the same character. (Preceding may be out of date. Received an astral diamond in chest loot during Sep 2011; it is bound to account.)

Astral Diamonds may be traded for Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments as follows:
 * 4 Astral Diamonds for 4 Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments
 * 7 Astral Diamonds for 9 Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments
 * 10 Astral Diamonds for 16 Purified Eberron Dragonshard Fragments

Astral Diamonds can also be used in a crafting ritual on Cauldron of Sora Katra, but again it takes 5 Diamonds to a ritual.


 * Prices on the live server DDO Store as-of 26 Jan 2011.


 * "Stormglory airships have more space and more amenity slots per size class. They are also quite stylish! Such Luxury doesnt 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."
