Obsidian Shard

Obsidian Shards are very rare crafting materials. To obtain them:


 * 1) You can farm for Obsidian Shards in The Fissure of Woe. They occasionally drop from the monsters in that world.
 * 2) You can buy the Obsidian Shards from Rare Material Traders.
 * 3) You can buy them from other players or trade for them. The best location to find people offering to sell the Shards is the Temple of the Ages. The best places after that are the cities, especially Droknar's Forge and Lion's Arch as they are the ones most frequented by ascended players.

Obsidian Shards are most commonly needed to forge Fissure Armor.
