General
Ancient shards are dropped from the monsters found within the Catacombs of Kourend — with the exception of ghosts.
They are used with the altar in the center of the catacombs to provide transportation to several areas.
Demon’s Run – Northeastern corner which has lesser and black demons.
Dragon’s Den – Northwestern corner with the brutal black dragons.
Reeking Cove – Southern section with deviant spectres.
The Shallows – Southeastern corner which has king sand crabs.
Player’s can use three ancient shard’s with a darklight to create an arclight.
Three shards provide 1,000 charges and can be repeated to fill up to 10,000 charges.
