What Tablet Shards are
A Tablet Shard is a collectible item. In the game, its description reads:
“A stone fragment with curious engravings. No doubt someone out there is collecting these…”
Collected shards appear in the Valuables section of your inventory. You turn them in at the Oblivion Palace, and every reward is listed under Shard collector rewards below. Shards are listed here rather than in the chest locations list.
Shard collector rewards
Tablet Shards go to the collector at the Oblivion Palace, in the Kingdom of Grandshelt. Each shard total unlocks one reward, 25 in all, from a Vitality Charm at 3 shards to Lightbringer at 99. Along the way you get two Adamantite (80 and 89 shards), the Ancient Firearm (76) and the Ancient Whip (84), and a Magicite Cryst at 64. How the hand-in works is covered in the Oblivion Palace Tablet Shard vault guide.
