Shard of First Light

Shard of First Light is a shard of warm amber crystal that stands in each of the four starter towns, near that town's door. Touch it and it grants a broad set of beneficial enchantments - a running start for anyone setting out.

What it does

Touching the shard casts a full suite of self-buffs on you: attribute and skill boosts, elemental protections, and health, stamina, and mana regeneration. There is no cost and no cooldown - touch it as often as you like before heading into a door.

"The shard flares with dawn-colored light, and its blessings settle over you."

Where to find it

One shard stands in each of the four starter towns - Holtburg, Shoushi, Yaraq, and Sanamar - close to that town's Unbidden Door, its Driftwarden Provisioner, and its Driftwarden quest-giver.

Lore

"A shard of warm amber crystal, humming faintly. Those setting out from town often touch it for luck; the luck appears to be real."
