WoW MoP Classic Sha-Touched Gems: How To Obtain Them?

Posted: Aug 25, 2025 Views: 66

Among the vast variety of items in WoW MoP Classic, some can be used directly as gear, while others provide benefits in various ways, adding extra bonuses to other items. Both are essential if you want to reach the end of the game.

Of the latter, Sha-Touched gems are a more interesting type. To obtain them, you simply redeem them from the corresponding vendors consuming WoW MoP Classic gold. However, you must complete a series of quests and obtain your first gem before you are eligible to redeem them.

With this in mind, we will explain Sha-Touched gems and detail all the ways to obtain them.

WoW MoP Classic Sha-Touched Gems: How To Obtain Them?

What Are Sha-Touched Gems For?

Sha-Touched gems are socketable gems. Although they can only be socketed into Sha-Touched weapons, they can provide very powerful stat boosts.

There are currently nine Sha-Touched weapons available in Mists of Pandaria Classic, each with Normal, Heroic, and Celestial versions. They are:

  • Two-Hand Staff - Agility - Gao-Rei, Staff of the Legendary Protector - 50x August Stone Fragment / Boss Tsulong
  • Two-Hand Staff - Intellect - Jin'ya, Orb of the Waterspeaker - 50x August Stone Fragment / Boss Lei Shi
  • Two-Hand Ax - Strength - Shin'ka, Execution of Dominion - 50x August Stone Fragment / Boss Sha of Fear
  • One-Hand Fist - Agility - Claws of Shek'zeer - 30x August Stone Fragment / Boss Grand Empress Shek'zeer
  • One-Hand Sword - Strength - Kilrak, Jaws of Terror - 30x August Stone Fragment / Boss Sha of Fear
  • One-Hand Mace - Intellect - Kri'tak, Imperial Scepter of the Swarm - 30x August Stone Fragment / Boss Grand Empress Shek'zeer
  • One-Hand Sword - Intellect - Loshan, Terror Incarnate - 30x August Stone Fragments / Boss Tsulong
  • One-Hand Dagger - Agility - Spiritsever - 30x August Stone Fragments / Boss Lei Shi
  • Ranged Gun - Agility - Taoren, the Soul Burner - 50x August Stone Fragments / Boss Lei Shi

The normal and heroic versions drop from specific bosses in Terrace of Endless Spring and Heart of Fear raids of their respective difficulties.

And Celestial version weapons are obtained by consuming August Stone Fragments to redeem, which can be got from clearing Celestial dungeon.

What Quests Are Required To Obtain Sha-Touched Gems?

To obtain your first Sha-Touched Gem and unlock the ability to redeem it for more gems, you must complete the first chapter of Legendary Cloak questline, Trial of the Black Prince.

It's important to note that this questline consists of five chapters, released over the five phases of MoP Classic. Currently, you can only complete the first chapter. This chapter includes several specific steps, which we'll explain.

Stranger In A Strange Land & A Legend In The Making

To complete this quest, first find the corresponding NPC for your faction to initiate the quest:

  • Alliance: Brewmaster Tsu - /way #1530 87.4 68.0
  • Horde: Kurong Caskhead - /way #1530 62.2 13.2

After accepting the quest, travel to The Veiled Stair and find Wrathion at /way #433 54.6 72.6 to hear his story.

Trial Of The Black Prince

Next, you'll need to work hard to raise your reputation with Black Prince to reach Honored level. Current ways to increase this reputation level include:

  • Completing more daily quests in zones like Ruins of Golai and Golden Stair.
  • Defeating Mogu and Mantid in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Townlong Steppes, Isle of Thunder, and Dread Wastes.
  • Defeating members of the opposing faction in Krasarang Wilds.

If you want to increase your reputation level faster, equip items like Battle Standard of Coordination, which grant a short buff that increases your reputation or other loot.

The Strength Of One's Foes

This step requires you to obtain 10x Sigil of Power and 10x Sigil of Wisdom by killing bosses in Mogu'shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, or Terrace of Endless Spring raids. You can then complete one of the following two quests:

  • Fear Itself: Defeat Sha of Fear in Terrace of Endless Spring and obtain Chimera of Fear.
  • When in Doubt: Defeat Sha of Doubt in Temple of the Jade Serpent under Celestial Difficulty and obtain Chimera of Doubt.

Breath Of The Black Prince

Travel to Mason's Folly and reach the top of the stone steps to meet Wrathion again. You'll then be rewarded with one of three Sha-Touched gems:

  • Crystallized Dread: +500 Agility
  • Crystallized Terror: +500 Strength
  • Crystallized Horror: +500 Intellect

How To Redeem More Sha-Touched Gems?

After unlocking the first gem, if you'd like to add more gems to your Sha-Touched weapons, you can find Blacktalon Quartermaster at coordinates /way #433 54.4 72.8 and use gold to redeem other Sha-Touched gems.

Additional Tips

Although Terrace of Endless Spring remains one of the item-giving raids you've unlocked during Trial of the Black Prince, it's not recommended to wait until it becomes available before completing the quest.

While losing a loot farming source may require more time to complete the quest, clearing other raids more frequently can achieve the same effect. If you wait, you'll simply waste time.

When choosing quest reward gems, if you don't have enough MoP Classic gold to exchange for more gems for now, it's best to prioritize gems that boost your character's weakness stats.

This concludes the guide on how to obtain Sha-Touched gems in WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria. I hope it can also help you complete Phase 1 on time! Thank you for reading.
