On Official Servers Soul Shards are unique, meaning only one of each type may exist at a time. This soul shard is obtained by being the first to slay Megara the Serpent Queen. If the server setting is set to plentiful, it always drops.

Soul Shard Mechanics

Upon equipping the jewelry, the player's ultimate ability is replaced with {{#vardefine: abilityName | Serpent's Kiss }}{{#vardefine: abilityNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: abilityName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: abilityType | Ability }}{{#vardefine: subLink | Serpent's Kiss }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeParameter | 38 }}{{#vardefine: frameName | ultimate }}{{#vardefine: generalScaleFactor | 1}}{{#vardefine: bgSize | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledUp | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledDown | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetBase | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetSpecial | }}{{#vardefine: isSpecialFrame | }}{{#vardefine: isCircle | 0 }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetLeft | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetTop | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}[[File:AbilityFrame_{{#var: frameName}}.png|{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]]<span style="position: absolute; left: {{#var: frameOffsetLeft}}px; top: px;">[[File:{{#var: abilityType}}_{{#var: abilityNameNoSpace}}.png|{{#var: bgSizeScaledDown}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]][[{{#var: subLink}}|{{#var: abilityName}}]]:
"Send out a spectral serpent dealing 350% magic damage on direct hit, 200% magic damage to enemies in an area, inflicting Weaken and fearing enemies for up to 2.5s.

Spawns 6 wisps healing allies for 50% of your spell power."

In Update 1.1. players may replace the Soul Shard's ultimate ability freely.

The damage bonus to vampires applies to both players and enemies.

Soul Shards lose durability over time and can only be repaired by feeding on Primal Blood Souls during Tier 2 Rift Incursions. Each Primal Blood Soul consumed restores 750 durability, distributed between all shards in the player's inventory. If a Soul Shard is destroyed it returns to its V Blood Carrier, in this case Megara.
After Update 1.1 its durability loss may now be sped up or disabled via the Server Settings.

They may be teleported outside of raid windows, and carried while in {{#vardefine: abilityName | Bat Form }}{{#vardefine: abilityNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: abilityName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: abilityType | Ability }}{{#vardefine: subLink | Bat Form }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeParameter | 27 }}{{#vardefine: frameName | normal }}{{#vardefine: generalScaleFactor | 1}}{{#vardefine: bgSize | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledUp | }}{{#vardefine: bgSizeScaledDown | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetBase | }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetSpecial | }}{{#vardefine: isSpecialFrame | }}{{#vardefine: isCircle | 0 }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetLeft | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}{{#vardefine: frameOffsetTop | {{#var: frameOffsetBase}} }}[[File:AbilityFrame_{{#var: frameName}}.png|{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]]<span style="position: absolute; left: {{#var: frameOffsetLeft}}px; top: px;">[[File:{{#var: abilityType}}_{{#var: abilityNameNoSpace}}.png|{{#var: bgSizeScaledDown}}px|link={{#var: subLink}}]][[{{#var: subLink}}|{{#var: abilityName}}]]. (toggleable in settings)

On PvP servers Soul Shards are dropped on death, and can be stolen by other players. To prevent this, they may be stored in their respective pedestals; {{#vardefine: itemName | Pedestal of the Serpent }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoSpace | {{#replace:{{#var: itemName}}}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoApos | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoSpace}}|'|}} }}{{#vardefine: itemNameNoJewel | {{#replace:{{#var: itemNameNoApos}}|JewelTier|Tier}} }}{{#vardefine: bgSize | 30}}{{#vardefine: imageType | Structure}}{{#vardefine: quantity | 0 }}{{#vardefine: discountQty | }}{{#vardefine: showDiscount | 1 }}[[File:{{#var: imageType}}_{{#var: itemNameNoJewel}}.png|frameless|{{#var: bgSize}}x{{#var: bgSize}}px|link={{#var: itemName}}]]{{#var: quantity}} [[{{#var: itemName}}|{{#var: itemName}}]].

Soul Shards are automatically destroyed if not picked up from the ground within 60 minutes.
