Soul Shards are bop. They are used for many things like summoning warlock pets like the void walker, felhunter, succubus, and felguard. Soul Shards are also used in making health stones and spell stones and fire stones. Ritual of summoning also uses a soul shard along with soul stone. Some other spells that use a soul shard are shadow burn and soul fire.

Soul Shards can only be recived by using drain soul on a enemy and will only be given if the enemy dies while you are channeling drain soul. Most warlocks use rank 1 of drain soul due to the mana cost of the highest rank of drain soul. Also in order to recive a soul shard the enemy has to be able to give you honor, rep, or exp.

Soul Shards are a import part in a warlocks life so keep many on hand and try to gather them when possible.

For 70 warlocks, this is a fantastic mob from which to grind soul shards. The Eels go down fast, drop an easily sellable commodity (motes of water), is just a stone's throw from Shattrath, cater's to our underwater breathing spell, and is rarely overcrowded.

I'm not sure of the hitpoints on these guys either, but with a destro build, they die with Immo+Incinerate+1-2 secs of drain soul.

In the 20 or so minutes it might take to drain 24 or 28 shards, you can easily get at least 1 Primal Water ($$), and 4-10g worth of vendor trash, with a decent chance for greens.

If you have an epic flying mount, a no-effort soul shard mob is in western Zangarmarsh.

These mobs have three baby adds that die in 2 corruption ticks. Corruption, wait a few seconds, corruption, then drain soul one after another. Easy way to get massive amounts of shards if that's all that you're interested in doing.

THX FOr help i didn't knew that how to get soul shards

Commentaire de 80922

i farm em at lvl 70 from http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=18207 send voidwalker in they have 1,1k hp and as soon as youre drain life highest rank ticks once youre voidwalker will have done like 600 dmg or so basicly ensuring youll never need more then 1st tick of drain soul. Basicly gives fast grinding souls. As i spend huge amounts as DS/SnF warlock i dont care about getting some nice drops on the side i just want to get it over with mostly. (ZA today costed me 60 i have no idea how i spent that much but i did (for 6bosses)).

Spels responsible for using a lot of shards:
All demon sumons except imp.
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=29858 (reduce agro)
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=698 (transport service)
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=29893 (suplying hs)

THey also do not stack and require 1 slot for 1 shard.
Because of that soulbags r really needed when raiding.
(best avialable at level 70: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21872)

Imo blizzard should do something for locks the reduce the soul isues they r enoying to farm hard to keep some stock of em as they take a lot of room and basicly youre stuffing all youre baggs full with these things when you go raiding.
(I would personally not drain souls in an instance as it will cut in youre dps to drain these)

I do thank blizard for giving locks http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=29893 just imagine suplying hs in 25 man raids without it :p

Still searching for the grim reaper to sell me souls. And hoping for a bigger bag and some reduction on the soulshard cost of spells. (Dunno if 2.4 implies something like that but i do know locks can sumon people from anywhere into the instance basicly meaning well be doing more sumons and losing more souls).

Soul shards don't stack. :(

Commentaire de 136043

I am a level 21 gnome warlock. where can i farm soul shards easily?
i find myself too weak to complete quests without my voidwalker.
please help.

Commentaire de 154447

I wish they stacked at least per 5. That would be pretty fair.

Commentaire de 156521

My favorite place to grind soul shards is actually Alterac Valley. :) But I've always been a huge BG fan.

As for not being able to stack... it's quite annoying. If they don't want people to have 160 soul shards with the largest bag, then they should give us a specialty bag that can hold at least 50, and make the other specialty bags much easier to come by.

And no, it would surprise me in the slightest to have this happen in a PuG. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't happened to me (yet).

Commentaire de 238029

lol? don;t understand..
patch 3.1 will make ss stack to a max of 32?
so...soul bags are now useless?
or i can carry stacks of ss (32 shards each).
if i got a 32 soul bag than i could carry 32stacksx32bag slots=1024 shards? :)

correct me if i am wrong

Commentaire de 322481

i just found out with a new patch that'll either be added soon, or if it's been added already. the drain sould abilitywill give warlocks a chance to get soul shards with every time the drain soul does dammage. also, we no longer have CoR, but the CoW now weakens armor, and attack. the new patch is going to be off the chain, if it's not been installed now.

Commentaire de cdoc29

I think they mean that you can only carry a max of 32 soul shards... so those of us who go around with our bags maxed out. (ie with 100+ soul shards) will now be severely limited. This will certainly change my style of play as I love to spam shadowburn in raids. Guess Blizzard is reducing the power of lock again.

Commentaire de g0urra

What, you didn't see this in the patch notes?

Each time Drain Soul deals damage to a target which can grant experience, it now has a chance to generate a Soul Shard.

You'll still get your precious shards by using Drain Soul. Granted, it does make your DPS lower, but it's your decision to either have shards or DPS without them.

Commentaire de 339146

my opinion soul bags are a must for any warlock (even the 20 slot bags) its just a godsend!

just remember when i was lv30 (my bags were a mess shards all over the place) but when i got my 1st soul bag all my problems went away!

now! 32 unique will suck for me, i have 4 bags of 32 slots each.... thats 128 shards i always take to nax... wtf will i do with my other three 32 slot bags.... atlest if i could have em filled at bank that would be nice...
i run out i go to bank and take a new bag, but agree with who ever said we are getting nerfed..... i am a shard eater with soul fires and shadow burn.... but then again soul fires will now not require a shard if ur target gets hit by SB/incinerate and its below 35% (or 30%) cant recall so yeah we getting pros and cons.... i guess it makes the game more exiting and makes us warlocks players evolve in our ways of DPS.

so lets look at the bright side and lets evolve!

Commentaire de 212371

New limit of 32 includes shards you may have in the bank. Drain Soul won't net you any new shards if you too many stashed away.

not limitted to warlock anymore: screenshot

(obv just a bug, but funny nonetheless)

Commentaire de 402823

For easy farming of soul shards, just go to a main city like Org. Go to the training dummies and go to the grandmaster training dummy and just drain soul. You will start creating soul shards :)

Commentaire de Malinq

Wondering what is Blizzard doing about them since - " Yes. As we have hinted on occasion, we have a revamp of the entire system in the works. This is a big change, beyond the scope of the 3.2 patch, but we are confident -- CONFIDENT -- that the new system will be something warlocks finally enjoy."

promising

Commentaire de 392524

Blizzard STILL needs to make them stack, stacking to the max of 32 would be absolutely wonderful. I know, I'm dreaming! /sigh

Commentaire de 209571

handy macro for keeping shards in your soul bag:
#showtooltip
/script if GetContainerNumSlots(4)==GetInventoryItemCount("player",23) then PickupContainerItem(4,1); local a,b,c=GetCursorInfo(); if a=="item" and b==6265 then DeleteCursorItem(); else ClearCursor(); end; end
/cast Drain Soul

don't leave home without it!
(especially useful if you have this talent, so you can get the mana back on every mob!

made less useful now that you can get shards mid-channel, but still worth having

Commentaire de Malediction

As announced during BlizzCon 2009, Soul Shards shall officially be banished from bags and all spells (except a new one named Soul Burn) in the coming expansion Cataclysm!

Goodbye, space wasters. May you never interfere between me and my new 22-slots again!

Commentaire de UlarnekIronclaw

why is the picture of a soul shard not a soul shard or a soul drain, but some low lv orc warlock?

Commentaire de 466526

why cant u have like 5 or 10 in 1 slot! my stupid bag get full so fast and thats anoying

Commentaire de Arreador

Soulbounds, the irony.

Commentaire de clavarnway

Here is a handy way to not have to carry around 32 shards at a time, but still allow you to use Drain Soul whenever you want, without having to use any addons to control your shard count!

First determine how many shards you want to carry, then put (32 minus that amount) in your bank. Since Soul Shards are capped at 32 for each character, you will stop generating new ones when you reach 32 between your bank and bags.

For example if you decide you want to carry 12 Soul Shards, put 20 in your bank. You will stop generating new Soul Shards at 12 in your bags, because 12 + 20 = 32.

Commentaire de Kanariya

I, for one, am really glad to see these things go... in the sense that I will never ever have to farm a ton of these again, or worry about running out, or having to delete one because I need that extra slot. Curious to see how they will act now when Cata comes out.

Commentaire de 755060

Soul Shards are those feather-like gems under your health bar.
I hadn't played a Warlock in over a year so I tried to create them and expected to find them in my bags. Imagine my surprise when they weren't there. It took a lot of asking before anyone understood my confusion.
