    Default Torched Flamesource

    Is this a BoP?

    I've never seen it on the AH and have offered 20 Plat for it, but nobody ever has it.

    I can't get the damned thing to drop for the life of me...............I currently have the lvl 42 one. Any other suggestions on Greaters other than to just buy more lessers?

    There's the 50 AP quest one if you haven't destroyed it already. I wish I could get mine back now.

    How about Mortuous Shadeshard and Rekindled Flameshard:

    1) Are they good?

    2) Where do they drop?

    Also:

    Where does the Celestial Flameshard drop?

    How about the Gibbous shadesource? Zam doesn't seem to have alot of info.

    Easiest way to get them is doing the high level invasions. Whatever the greens that give random items are called... if nobody's auctioning them they're probably having weird luck, not doing invasions or just runebreaking/NPCing/using them.

    I wouldn't use them. I think the 51 is just fire experts, just try to roll a bunch of them and you'll get it. Its really not that bad o just use 6 of the good lessers.

    You ever try the Celestial Flameshard? That doesn't seem terrible, either.

    Is that the 42 crit? I used to use it but I've just replaced it with my 5th lesser this week since they are getting buffed later this month and the difference is small and its contributing on the first hit (better for pvp).

    Nah, it looks pretty nasty for tanking:

    I meant the Rekindled Flameshard for DPS:

    http://rift.zam.com/en/item/C38FF882...led-Flameshard Again, no clue where it comes from.

    Idk, you'd have to get one and test it. If it doesn't have an internal CD longer than 8 seconds or if it overwrites itself it might be worth it. I bet it has a 20 or 30 sec internal that would make it only give you like 10 dps or so.

    Ive done a lot of fire expert rifts and never seen those, so i would assume fire raid rift.

    Rules of thumb:
    Experts only give you blue lessers and greaters
    Raids only give you purple lessers and greaters
    Lessers are all BoP
    Greaters are all BoE
    All greaters share a common shard suffix: Fae, Shade, Flame, Tide, Storm.

    Off hand I think waters have only dropped one listed greater and earth has yet to drop any, but they might just be exceptionally rare and unposted.
