Farming Nethershards
Nethershards are a new currency for patch 7.2 at the Broken Shore
Originally used in the Legion pre expansion event, Nethershards are back.
This time they can be used to purchase all sorts of new items, including armor tokens for upgrades.
For us gold makers, the nethershards can be used to buy
Technique: Glyph of Wrathguard for scribes / inscription
BoE Nethershard Essence, a legendary item for crafting the new BoE legendaries. Can be sold on the Auction House
Farming Nethershards from Sentinax Portals
When you’re at the Broken Shore, follow the quest chains, which award nethershards. Once quests are completed, you might want to farm some more nethershards
these are for these things, which can sell for good gold, dependant on competition and how hard you work on sales, reposting, undercutting, and advertising.
What else can you get?
- Bind on Equip greens
- Netherchunks – bop item with 100 nethershards when opened / clicked
- Shal’dorei Silk
Where to farm
Broken Shore
Underneath the Sentinax, a Legion rocket ship that hovers over the Broken Shore zone. It moves from place to place over the shore. Run to the area underneath the ship, and wait for the buff to appear
With the buff above your head, start killing mobs.
The mobs have a chance to drop Sentinax Beacons. These beacons, when activated, open portals in your area and out pour demons. The demons range in power from solo-able to some which require a small group.
Beware this area of AoE which rains from the sky.
Wyrmtongue Cache Keys
Following the quest line given in the Broken Shore area by the treasure hungry goblin will open up a cave. Once unlocked, you can reach it by clicking on the rope under the tree in the same place you completed the quest.
The wyrmtongue sells keys which unlock chests, much like the cave from the Timeless Isle back in Mists of Pandaria expansion. The chests have a chance to drop loot, mostly nethershards, but there is a pet and a toy that can be found here.
As well as the Cache Key, he sells a keystone and a disguise essence.
Alternative ways to gather shards:
World Quests in a zone with a Patch 7.2 Legion Invasion
Head out into the Broken Isles when a Legion Invasion is active in the zone and the world quests there will reward nethershards as well as gold. Remember to take your class order hall bodyguard with you if you have equipped him with items that give extra gold per quest completed.
Farming Nethershards from Wyrmtongue Caches
These hidden wyrmtongue caches are simple treasure chests that spawn around the Broken Shore.
They can also hold Artifact Power, Dauntless tokens (850 armor), greys for vendoring, order resources, and legionfall resources.
