Runeshards are the key to gaining access to The Pit.
When players enter World Tier IV, they receive a priority quest to complete a Tier 46 Nightmare Dungeon. On completion, players can start collecting Runeshards during endgame content and use them to gain access to The Pit which is where you gather rare materials for Masterworking.
The best places to collect Runeshards are:
- Whispers
- Nightmare Dungeons - Tier 46 or higher
- Helltides
- Legions
The Party member that spends the Runeshards to open the Pit gets 100% of the Masterworking materials, the rest of the party receives half the amount.
You can see how many Runeshards you have in your 'Stats and Materials' tab under 'Unusual Materials'.
| Type | Quality | Description | Found in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runeshard | Normal | An ancient token used by the Horadrim to enter The Pit of the Artificer. | Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons, Helltides and Legions |
