All currently acquirable shards

A Skilling Shard is a unique, untradeable item that drops at a base rate of 1 every 5 minutes whenever a player performs most non-combat skill actions. Without buffs, players receive these shards at the same rate regardless of their skill level, the gathering zone being used, or the skilling action being performed. Skilling Shards may also be received as a reward for completing certain quests or Skilling Dungeons.

Shards are required to craft skilling gear and the skill's respective legendary tool. They are also used in the augmentation of this equipment.

Gathering Shards are skilling shards that involve gathering:

Production Shards are skilling shards that involve production:

Skilling Gear

There are skilling gear sets for all previously mentioned skills except farming. There is no level requirement for equipping this gear, and each set is purchasable from the market.

Each Skilling Gear set has its own quest that is required to unlock the crafting recipe. These quests are unlocked at level 50 in each skill.

The gathering skill gear all share the same base shard cost of 1350 shards per complete set (approximately 112.5 hours of skilling):

Production skill gear also require additional materials:

Legendary Tool

Every skill that produces shards has a legendary tool. Each tool has 8 enchantment slots and the highest effective level buffs for their skill. The base costs for these vary, and the recipes are also locked behind quests. These quests follow the same structure, being called "Legendary [Toolname]" and require the respective Skilling Gear quest to be completed before being unlockable. Each quest will require you to either clear or turn in a key for the relevant Skilling Dungeon for stage 1 and then turn in 9,000 shards (24,000 for farming) to complete the quest. Upon completion you will receive your first copy of the legendary tool, and unlock the recipe for crafting more tools (needed to augment past +5).

Skilling shards are awarded upon defeating the boss of a Skilling Dungeon.
