Glass Shards are not expensive, and you can hold a large quantity of them. Once you get a hold of Glass Shards, the real mystery is what, if anything, there is to do with them.
Glass Shards serve no purpose
Glass Shards are given this dubious description in-game. “Shard of filthy glass. Worthless rubbish.”
Even though they are considered consumable, they can’t be consumed. They can be bought from merchants, but they can’t be sold for runes. The entire community has searched for a purpose for Glass Shards, and they aren’t used for any crafting recipe. As of right now, the Glass Shard truly is what it reads. Worthless rubbish.
