Add to Watchlist

Please note that the New World Team has stopped covering the game as of Update 1.2. Information on certain pages may not be up-to-date.

Timeless Shards
Timeless Shards are the new Crafting Components that arrived with Update 1.2 on December 16, 2021. This guide will show you how to use Timeless Shards, where to get them, and a list of all the Timeless Shards in the game. Read on to know more!

List of Contents

How to Use Timeless Shards

1 New World - Use Crafting Stations
Once you have a Timeless Shard, head to its appropriate Crafting Station.
2
Timeless Round Shield Shard
The Timeless Shard's title will indicate what type of item you can craft with it. Keep in mind you'll need to be Level 60 to use them and you can only craft items that require a 200 Skill Level, whether in Armoring or Weaponsmithing.
3
Timeless Shard Craft Mods New World
Pair the Shard with the Attribute Bonus you want to have using Craft Mods. For example, the Iron Battle Medal will give bonus Strength. You will need 10 Craft Mods of the same type to complete the recipe. This frees up your Special Resources Slot, giving you a chance to get your desired affix and perk in a single crafting attempt!

Where to Get Timeless Shards

Expeditions

New World - Expeditions
Timeless Shards automatically drop from Bosses in Expeditions such as Amrine Excavation and Garden of Genesis. Timeless Shards can also be obtained from Elite Chests inside as well but this is not guaranteed.

Lv. Req. Expedition
25+ Amrine Excavation
35+ Starstone Barrows
45+ The Depths
45+ Dynasty Shipyard
45+ Lazarus Intstrumentality
65+ Garden of Genesis

List of Dungeons

Level 60+ Named Enemies and Chests

Myrkgard New World

Location of Myrkgard in Shattered Mountain

Outside of Expeditions, Timeless Shards will drop from named Enemies in Level 60+ Regions and there's a chance they can be looted from elite chests in the same areas. A great place to try farming these would be in Myrkgard in the region of Shattered Mountain. There are several named enemies here along with chests you can loot.
