Overview
Wise Old Man is an NPC who began selling elemental Shards as of the 2026-08-26 Patch — before this, no shop sold shards at all; they were only obtainable via Mixnometry.
The shop's internal id is wise_old_man_shards, named "Wise Old Man's Shards" in the client.
Shop Stock
All seven shard prices are now recorded. Three were confirmed in-game on 2026-08-26; the client's own shop table, read on 2026-08-27, lists all seven and matches those three exactly — which is why the remaining four are recorded here as prices rather than estimates.
| Shard | Price (Coins) | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Air Shard | 10 | Confirmed in-game 2026-08-26; matches client data |
| Water Shard | 25 | Client data |
| Earth Shard | 40 | Client data |
| Fire Shard | 75 | Confirmed in-game 2026-08-26; matches client data |
| Spirit Shard | 100 | Client data |
| Void Shard | 400 | Client data |
| Warp Shard | 600 | Confirmed in-game 2026-08-26; matches client data |
Every shard is stocked in quantity 50, restocks on a 6,000-tick timer, and cannot be sold back to the shop (buyback: false) — the restock and buyback fields are both new to the client's shop format as of this build, matching the 2026-08-26 Patch's shop-restocking note.
The steep Warp Shard price stands out: Warp Shard had no confirmed in-game use for a long time (see Shards). It is now also the shard consumed by the new teleport spells (see Magic), which gives it a concrete use for the first time.
Location
The shop's NPC id is npc_player_greentown_2, which places the Wise Old Man in Greentown. This is an inference from the internal id, not a sighting — the id scheme has been reliable elsewhere (the Fish Stall and Guard's Stash use the same npc_player_greentown_* pattern and are both in Greentown), but it has not been visually confirmed.
