this are necessary for the "crafting" of shadowmourne. they drop form bosses in IC 25(no word if drop from 10 man HC or extra chance to drop on 25 HC). it's similar to the crafting of the Ulduar legendary mace or Vanilla WoW class specific staffs from Naxxramas.

I believe one of the most pressing inquiries regarding these is that if they are a shared drop or not. IE. Can two people on the same quest pick them up? If not, Which is probably the case, expect to see very few of these as it may take up to 6-7 weeks for one part of the quest line.

Its still a Quest-Item, but legendary now.
Armory said its no Q-Item anymore, but seems like its still.

They are binds when picked up, meaning scrubs wont likely get (60) of these much less with ease.
Thats a good thing I though everyone would be running around with one of these Shadowmourne.

It definitely seem possible indeed to attain the 25 Primordial Saronite, hard but possible, and with the ability for normal ICC to fulfill the quest objectives and hence the ability to PuG them, it doesn't seem hard. I believe that the only difficult part pass the 25 Primordial Saronite is the shadowfrost shards.

Because of this, it is quite possible that Blizzard would make it extremely and nearly impossible to attain (Only one ever drops no matter how many are on the quest), just to prevent many from attaining it.

Yet, with this in mind, I only have one question. If only one would drop no matter how many are on the quest, then wouldn't one would drop no matter how many are NOT on the quest? If so, then nobody is on the quest now, (Only the first wing is released, and many of the quests in the chain requires bosses from the 2nd - 4th, which means that no one could have possibly reached this stage.)

With the above paragraph in mind, then my question is: Why didn't it drop from ANY of the four bosses released? It should, although nobody is on the quest, right?

So because of this, logically, the only possibility might be (Big might, I have utterly no idea, my apologies if this is presumptious), is that it drops one per person who have the quest only for that person on the quest.

50 is not easy. Go easy on us. Its Wrath of the Lich King anyway, not Classics. In Classics. . .Yeah. In WoTLK? Heh. I am surprised there is no Welfare Legendaries yet.

Sorry, but i cant see the sense behind all that.
Collecting 60 Shards will take you forever to collect exept you are in your Realms Top 1-3 Guilds and doing every Boss in HM every ID.

It dont seems like any SF Shard dropped yet worldwide, so you really need to be on that quest to have the chance to see it drop.

Thats the most stupid obtaining system of all Legendarys (yet) .

Kommentar von Snowhammer

Just to help clear up any miss-understandings that are still out there:

Here is a post I made on the offical forums a couple weeks back that actually got a blue respone. It all but confirms it is indeed only 1 person who can loot the shards.
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/28/21627634200-question-clarification-on-shadowmourne-quest.html

Also, if you didn't know, the drop rate on these is 25%-50% from normal mode bosses and 51%-100% from hard mode bosses (from official wow armory)
http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=50274

Also, here is a link to MMO-CHAMPION news that the amount of these you need was lowered to 50.

This... is Legendary... Junk!

Here's a question for you all. I am a main tank in a guild working on ICC 25. I can go dps spec during trash to get the 1000 souls done, but I have to be there to tank bosses. Is it enough to just be on the quest to pick up the shards, or do you actually HAVE to have the weapon equipped and damage the boss with it in order to be capable of picking up a shard off the boss? Anyone know for sure?

Kommentar von 455327

so far from about 30 hard mode kills, the drop rate for me is about 20%

Kommentar von Mneme

Abandoning the quest manually does not remove the Shadowfrost Shards from your bags, so faction changing shouldn't either. Not all GMs give accurate information.

Kommentar von 150957

To clarify, the shards CAN NOT be traded once someone has them. Also, they CAN be given to anyone, on the quest or not. We tested it out in my guild run for curiosity sake, had to petition the shard to me to get it :) Also 1/2 the raid rolled on it so make SURE its on ML and the ML'er knows the shards have to go to you or they may end up all over the place :P

Kommentar von 642506

Can someone tell me please if you already on The Splintered Throne quest and have some shards, they disappear if you transfer to other realm but same side?

Kommentar von 606718

1/11 shards doing 11/12 HM this raid lockout. I'm the ^&*!ing best.

Kommentar von aequitas28

Do These still drop?
If they do, Do they only drop when someone in the raid has the quest?

Kommentar von Silentkill0687

Does anyone know if you have to have Shadow's Edge equipped to have the shards drop? Asking because my tanking set uses a different weapon.

Kommentar von 483906

what are the requirements for these to drop?
is having the quest enough or should i wield shadow's edge as well?

Kommentar von Alterraia

As of March 2, 2011, I'm 30/50 Shadowfrost Shards. To answer someone's question, for these items to be seen on the loot table, at least 1 player must have the quest https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=24548. If a boss is killed, and no one w/ the quest is eligible to receive loot for that kill, they won't drop.

These only drop in 25m, and there is only 1 shard per boss, IF they drop. You can have all 25 raid members on this part of the quest, and only 1 shard can drop from a killed boss.

So, if you're farming these, make sure no one else is on this quest. Easy way to do that is to make sure you're in the same 5 man party, of your raid group, as the other DKs, Warriors, & Paladins, to see if they have it or not.

If you're the only one, you'll be the only one who can roll on the shard.

There is a current bug where if a player DCs during the fight or is outside of the instance (because they released after dying), it will appear as if they are eligible to roll for the shards. Really, only the player(s) on the quest can do so, you just have to wait for the roll to time out so they auto-pass on the shard. Kinda irritating frankly, because this has happened to me a few time. I check to make sure I'm the only one on the quest, and if I am, I set it to group loot, because only I can roll. If that's not the case, then I set it to master looter.

~a bunch of stuff about how wiping and changing difficulty increases the amount of shards dropped~

No... you have simply been subject to coincidence.

Kommentar von 851903

Yes the shards still drop. I led a 25m Heroic earlier today to work on the mount achievs, and get those who are on the shadowmourne questline the things they need. Apparently only a FDK and myself were the only two working on it. Where as the DK was on the actuall quest to collect the shards, I am currently at the part of blood infusion. I was still able to see the shards if they dropped. So unless Blizz changed something, and with consideration of 2 players on 2 different parts of the questline and both being able to see the drops, one could assume that anyone can see and possibly loot the shards reguardless of where they are at in the questline.

Kommentar von darkthorgoth

hmmmm...
strange...
got a icc25man HC run today...got 2 shards out of 12 hc bosses...
had a ticket already open for a different issue..and i also asked about the drop rates for the shards...
GM actualy linked me this very thread saying that tho he can not give me any details about the % of the shards for either normal or heroic bosses wowhead's are too accurate...
after that i checked armory's drop change and it's still "very high - high"
guess armory is outdated or wowhead's database wipe for cataclysm messed the drops changes?

anyway..16 more to go :(

Kommentar von 1002730

Too bad that they haven't changed the drop rate to 10m as well, since they now share a raid-lockout :<

Kommentar von Hataq

did 6 bosses on hc > 6 shadowfrost shards .nice drop
