Glass Shard | Elden Ring Wiki

Wish we could throw this at enemies.

Submit

when i first found glass fragments i thought they were like mimic items, you could drop one and it would look like a normal item to trick people. i was extremely disappointed

Submit

During my first playthrough at some point I had ~10k runes at some point. It wasn't enough to level up and I didn't have anything to I wanted to buy, but I was about to enter a bossfight and I wanted to spend them on something. So I decided to spend them all by buying a random ingredient, better than dying and losing them, I though. So my dumbass teleported to Volcano Manor, talked with Patches and spent my whole money on buying glass shards from him. I didn't know they were worthless, I thought I would be able to craft something with them eventually. Needless to say, in that save I still have max glass shards (99 + 600). Sometimes while picking random stuff up from the ground I get a notification saying I have the maximum amount of that item, reminding me my idiocy over and over again.

Imagine that in the DLC you could inlay your weapons with these like you do in The Forest with teeth

Submit

Coming from Fear & Hunger, I thought this would be broken.

Submit

So when do they become great runes?

Submit

Should be able to consume these for self-bleed buildup

Submit

I thought you could eat these to end yourself like in DS1 but nope not even that

Submit

why do you have to be so mean........ what did the glass shards ever do to you...

Submit

This is a berserk reference

Submit

Would be neat if these were craftable into Glass Shard clumps you could throw, inflicting bleed buildup with multiple projectiles at a time like the Poison Stone ones.

Submit

they should do damage to enemies that step on them when you drop them on the ground (at the very least enemies without shoes on)

Submit

Really interesting how people in this universe can find a crafting use for bloodclots, octopus ovaries and centipedes...but not glass.

Submit

Should be able to equip these on your belt, and when used it'd simply place one of the glass shards on the ground without having to go in to your inventory.

Me if I was an item in Elden Ring.

Submit

I have 100+ of these. I was hoping I could use them for something eventually. Just finished the game and had to google wtf these were. So here I am. Very disappointing... lmao.

Submit

These are also dropped by either Demi-Humans or Demi-Human Chiefs. I don’t know which one, as I only got one from the Chief, but it could drop from the normal ones too.

Submit

Really wish these looked like natural item pick-ups you can find in the world as white glowing orbs, because then it would be actually useful as a kind of bait item which I think is the intended use. It's sold by Patches who also sells Grace Mimics, Bloody Fingers you can use to invade with, Fan Daggers you can use to pop Bubbles during an invasion, and a Sacrifical Twig that was probably intended to use with the Bloody Fingers for no-risk invasions where you can't don't drop your souls in an inconvenient location if you fail and die. As it stands, you might as well just drop a Rowa Fruit if you want a distraction item which was obviously dropped by a player, as that's what the Glass Shard looks like.

Submit

Kept waiting to find a bird’s nest where I could trade these with some ****ed up crow for upgrade mats. Never happened lmao.

Submit

it would be so cool if this thing had the glowing whisp effect when dropped, so it could be used as bait for invasions.

Submit

I love that in the repeat encounter with Patches in his cave, he's restocked his bait chest with a single glass shard.

Submit

You can farm these pretty consistently at Writheblood Ruins, due East of the Bridge of Iniquity site of grace. They make great bait for hosts or invaders in pvp because it's even more worthless than other cheap items

Submit

Try dropping them in different substances and see what happens. You'll be surprised.

Submit

i accidentally bought 526 of these :(

Submit

can we get a slingshot to shoot these or somethin

Submit

im surprised it isnt use to craft anything, like a glass shard fragmentation pot or something, but it is actually useless

Submit

I love how it says filthy in the description. Like worthless rubbish wasn‘t bad enough, it has to be filthy too

Submit

i was doing a level 1 playthrough, wanted to find an item i can use as a bank for my souls, gave this guy 69K runes thinking i can sell them back, god damn that patches, cant help but love how despicable he is

Submit

I always gift these to players that i like

Submit

I find it hilarious that patches sells these in unlimited supply

Submit

Jar cannon ammo when.

Submit

JUST EAT THE VIAL ALREADY!

Submit

Well well well, I should have known

Submit

Wish it was a throwable

Submit

imma hold them all just in case a new patch adds some new consumable that uses them.

tasty

Oh my gosh I just got it after reading the comments and flavor text over and other. It IS a junk item, but when it drops from an enemy or is unpicked up on the ground it gives off the "beacon" effect. By unpicked up I mean a natural item on the ground. I wonder if it's a mistranslation. I can't think of places you pick it up but it sounds like an item From can use to bait greedy players into DEV made traps or make people run over to a killed enemy like a demi human. Also could explain why Demis have them, they think their shiny and cool. The only other mobs that drop them are slimes (you know how easy it would be for a slime creature to just pick up trash on the ground? also may be used for the staby staby) and perfumers, an enemy that uses glass Perfume Bottles that unlike cracked pots are not stated to heal/mend. I would even guess the mistranslation could come for From telling the mistranslators the use of the item on their side to help them better word the flavor text such as telling them little Dev facts such as it being a trick item, total theory but I can see it being a thing with the whole mistranslation of an ending to the game. That's a big thing and it makes me think twice about trusting the lesser writing in the game

Submit

seems like a nice troll - summon co op partner for dungeon that has poison swamp, drop them 1 of these and then they go to pick it up hoping for boluses but then its this and they die of poison and you laugh

Submit

bruh this could be the pebble of Elden Ring, I really want a cheap throwaway item just to draw aggro. Without using my darts

Submit

Weird to put in an item that literally has no use or value of its own. Even 'rubbish' from previous games, which explicitly tell you it's worthless and you're a fool for picking it up, has value and can be traded for something. People are talking about using it as bait in PvP but it looks like an item dropped by a player, so any other cheap item can be used in its place, like your eighty bajillion rowa fruit that you'll never use all of but keep picking up anyway for some reason.

Submit

Do they look like a regular item from an invaders perspective when dropped?

Submit

Should be used in a recipe to create a perfume that causes bleeding

Submit

Hopefully in a future patch (current 1.04) these can be used for something. At least in DS Remastered you could sell these for souls. Maybe glass tip arrows or an alternative recipe for rainbow stones would be cool

can be used as bait in pvp

Submit

You can craft some stuff with these

Submit

Demi humans drop them.

Submit

This a reference to ceramic shards from sekiro?

Submit

Its description says that "Because it sparkles in the light, it might be mistaken for an object of value when seen from afar" which makes me think it could have some kind of use as bait? Like toss one down as an invader to make it look like an item that the host would be able to see, so that you can ambush them. Maybe? I have no desire to invade so i won't see myself attempting to test it

Submit

Curious if its supposed to be the glass of a estus flask, prolly not but its interesting how patches sells this

Submit

Who wrote the sell value of 100? merchants dont buy this, so it has no sell value

Submit

Are these Elden Ring's version of Rubbish? Description says these are worthless.

Submit

from what i see no one buys them

Submit

If you can buy this from patches for a hundred runes and it sells for a hundred runes, this sounds like a way to store runes for later

Submit

Anyone know what this is used for?

Submit

Patches is amused

Submit

okay but what the **** is this for
