About Oathplate shards
"A strange metal from a distant realm. It has long since lost its luster."
Oathplate shards are the smelted metal currency dropped by Yama, the Master of Pacts, and pulled from Forgotten lockboxes and Yama Contract rewards. They refine at 83 Smithing into infernal blend (5 shards + 28 crushed infernal shale per batch), with roughly 450 shards needed per Oathplate armour piece. As the gating resource for the post-2025 Oathplate armour set, shards sit at the centre of late-game prayer-bonus melee gear demand.

Released with Yama, the Master of Pacts as the Oathplate armour upgrade material.
Market Strategy
- Supply ties directly to Yama kill rate and Yama Contract completion (45 shards guaranteed per contract).
- Demand is gated by 83 Smithing + Oathplate armour grind cycle - 450 shards per piece is structural.
- Stackable + tradeable + no GE limit - moves in massive blocks, watch order book depth.
- Forgotten lockbox stack drops (11-14) provide background drip supply.
Trading Tips
Watch Yama kill threads after balance changes; nerfs to Yama loot table spike shard price hard.
Cross-track crushed infernal shale - shards alone are useless without shale supply.
Pre-position before any Oathplate set-bonus buff announcement.
